VACATION SAVINGS AND THRIFT WEEK

Indiana W. S. S. Workers Putting Into Effect a Practical Educational Campaign. The War Savings campaign is proceeding in Indiana with renewed energy- To get into every household suggestions that will be helpful in wise spending and sane saving the War Savings Organisation for Indiana is conducting a vacation savings campaign and making preparations for ‘Thrift Week,” beginning June 23. “Thrift Week” will not be a spectacular or coercive “drive” such ae marked the activities of the War Savings Organization last year when the raising of a certain sum of money was the chief objective. It will be a house-to-house canvass under the direction of the county chairman in each county, with a view to educating the citizens of Indiana in the practice of thrift. The canvass Includes: (?) Obtaining pledges for the regular purchase, if possible, of Thrift and War Savings stamps during the balance of the year. (b) Putting into every household a small blank record sheet for household expenses, accompanied by an order card through which those desiring to establish the budget system in the home may obtain complete forms and instructions. (c) Distribution of War Savings literature. (d) Distribution of new War Savings buttons to all signing pledge cardq. The vacation Savings campaign began with the closing of the schools. It includes: (a) Taking of pledges for the saving by pupils of 10 per cent or more of their earnings or allowances during the vacation period, for investment in <5

Thrift or War savings stumps weeaiy, monthly or upon the pupil’s return to school In the fall. (b) Making It a point to know the opportunities for spare-time employment open to boys and girls, and encouraging them to take advantage of such opportunities. If the pupils can earn money during the vacation period It naturally follows that they will have money for saving and investing. (c) Obtaining reports on the success of the vacation Savings plan soon after the beginning of the fall term of school. The Indiana Organization has Just finished a drive for the establishment of War Savings and Thrift stamp agencies “wherever money passes over the counter.” Secretary of the Treasury Glass believes the only compulsion In the purchase of War Savings Stamps should be self-applied, but It Is necessary to facilitate the practice of thrift. The drive for agencies has made It easier for savers to invest their savings. By shortening the distance between the Inclination to save and the actual purchase of a Thrift or War Savings Stamp—through the establishment of many agencies—the War Savings Organization expects to head off many temptations to spend foolishly. s

American Common Sense Will Recognize Soon the Value of Thrift Stamps

BY THB WIFE OF THB SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE

earth; we find now that a dollar is made up of a hundred cents, and that only by saving them can we save the dollar. To meet these conditions, to inoculate the habit of thrift necessary in the changing conditions of life, and to educate its citizens, the government has inaugurated the use of Thrift and War Savings stamps. They are a new thing in American life, but with our strong native common sense we shall sodn recognize their value. I find in my own case that the Thrift stamps are particularly useful for my children. Their pocket money is divided into three parts: one, a very small one, for immediate expenditure, one to go toward the Christmas present to their adopted French orphan sister, and one for inves ment in Thrift stamps. For the little children the joy of purchasing the stamp and fixing it in place on its card is sufficient inducement. The older ones must sometimes be persuaded to sacrifice an immediate pleasure for a future need, but the conversion into War Savings stamps and the promised increase finally satisfy them. « My little girl is saving toward a bicycle—not a high patriotic motive, but very appealing at seven. Indeed, War Savings stamps make excellent presents for very small children, to whom the stamp is quite as lovely as a gold piece, and will yield excellent returns when they are old enough to spend it. Of course War Savings stamps are a splendid investment for all people who can put aside only small sums. Their high rate of interest and ease of conversion make them a good investment. Everyone who buys a stamp becomes a shareholder in the government and is educated and interested to that degree. We should make a personal effort to see that buying is universal, if only for the reason that bolshevism cannot thrive among those who have a stake in the government. Let us show our appreciation of an opportunity for safe investment bringing good returns and aiding in the support of the government and the establishment of thrift.

“One Common Slough of Despondency for the Purpose of Experiment”

The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has no part or sympathy in any of the plans that pretend the hope of the world is only to be found in its destruction. The organization is 100 per cent American. It does hot subscribe to any theory that proposes to throw everybody into one common slough of despondency for the purpose of experimenting in the hope that out of this general mental and physical misery aj) may come that will .bring about a general better condition of affairs for a majority of the people. We stand for no such doctrine of destruction and ruin; we believe in the government, and stand as 100 per cent Americans ready to defend our principles and our faith. As proof of the brotherhood’s loyalty and Americanism 16,000 members of the organization took their places willingly in the ranks, and almost two hundred are “sleeping in France.” The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has neither part nor purpose in any scheme that proposes to destroy this government or take from any citizen either privilege or property that properly belongs to him; we have no sympathy with any plan that finds its basic purpose in the destruction of government or the organized forms of law and order; we do not subscribe to any propaganda that proposes a policy of destruction to find in a common basis of misery its expected hopes for reconstruction.

Make Schoolboy’s Soul a Temple and No Fanatic Can Change It To a Sewer

Today, for the first time in the history of the world, victorious nations seek to create a peace based on justice rather than on greed. That ideal of that peace was nourished in America. It sprang from the soil of a nation conceived in human liberty. It seeks to banish forever years of horror such as blanched the cheeks of civilization from 1914 to 1918. It may succeed, it may fail; but it marks a turning point in the ethics and conscience of the world. And yet, even as this great call from America is debated at the peace conference, in the schoolhouses of America, according to charges made by prominent educators, wolves in sheep’s clothing are carrying on a vicious propaganda to inoculate the American boy with the virus of a diluted anarchy. What a ghastly calamity if our own boys, born to a heritage of American freedom, absorb the poison that whispers that American idealism is nothing but a meaningless phrase and that anarchy and murder are to be preferred to law and order. As against the sinister propaganda of anarchy cunningly urged on him by men who have won his confidence by reason of the close association of the classroom, give the boy the book that upholds the American ideal of fair play and honor. Give him the book that spells life to him in terms of decency and right living. Give him the book that tells him the glorious truth that his land is blest above all lands of the earth. Help him to cultivate in his soul an eternal love of the true and the clean. Make his soul a temple, and no-crack-brained fanatic will ever succeed in transforming it into a sewer.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Lessons have crowded thick and fast on Americana in ths last five years. We have all learned some- | thing, some a great deal, others only a little, but the lessons which touched the highest and the lowest were the increased cost of commodities and the consequently diminished purchasing power of the dollar. In this fortunate land of ours we have thought | that food, like air, was a natural possession; we awake to find half the world starving and to realize the necessity of careful buying on our part for years to come.

FACTS ON CASHING WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Government Always Ready to Redeem Them With Interest, but It Means a Loss in the Earning Rate. ▲ considerable number of War Savings stamps are being cashed In Indiana. There Is nothing alarming or Illegal about this. The government Intended that the small savings represented by War Savings stamps should be available la an emergency. But the War Savings organization for Indiana points out that there is another aspect to be considered. Cashing War Savings stamps before the date of maturity or selling them to a scalper below par represents avoidable loss, thus-defeating the very object of the stamps—the practice of thsift. War Savings stamps held to maturity yield 4 per cent Interest, compounded quarterly; if cashed before maturity the interest amounts to only 3 per cent Selling to scalpers represents a still greater loss. Every effort Is being made by the government' this yeas to Inject a little of real joy Into thrift. Under stress of war this perhaps was overlooked. War Savings workers were carried away with their enthusiasm. - Methods of campaigning in some districts ph)bably resulted in some persons pg; coming unwilling buyers of stamps. The government wants no unwilling buyers, nor does it want unwilling holders of stamps. Many of those who have been cashing stamps at this time may be classed as unwilling holders. Means adopted In some quarters to Induce these to retain their stamps have created a panicky feeling among other holders. Many rushed to the post offices to give their ten days’ notice. With those who met with no “strong-arm” methods to prevent the cashing of stamps confidence was restored and the next day they promptly forgot about having given notice. Every applicant for redemption now receives the following letter from the postmaster: “Your" application has been placed on file, and your money will be ready for you in cash ten days after the date of your application provided your stamper are properly affixed to a War Savings certificate issued in your name. “You will receive more cash than you originally paid for any stamp which you have held more than one month. These stamps of course earn Interest. They, therefore, Increase in value month by month. In five years, stamps costing from $4.12 to $4.23 are worth $5. In other words, the money invested in each stamp earns from 77 cents to 88 cents, or Interest at more than 4 per cent per annum. "Do you know, however, that you do not have to take cash for all of the War Savings samps on your certificate?

“Possibly at this time you do not need all of your cash that is Invested In stamps. In that case I will be glad to give you cash for any part of them that you wish to turn Into money and give you the balance In 1919 War Savings and Thrift stamps. “On the other hand, If you have need at this time for all of the cash you have Invested in stamps, the government Is glad to return it to you, regretting of course that circumstances compel you to lose the good rate of Interest which your money would earn during the next few months or years. “Doubtless, when your present emergency Is passed, you will begin to save again and will want to buy more Thrift stamps and War Savings
