ORGANIZATION FOR 17. S. S. TO
BE PERMANENT
Postmaster Beck Tells of Discussion by State Heads at Indianapolis. 'Indications are that the present War Savins Stamp organization now existing throughout the United States will In the near future be made a permanent organization, although it may not in nature be exactly similar to the present organization," said Charles B. Beck, postmaster, and director of the Wayne County War Stamp campaign, upon his return from Indianapolis yes
terday evening. Mr. Beck was In the capital in consultation with other War
Savings campaign men. and the nat
ional situation was discussed extens
ively.
"It Is altogether probable that the new saving Institution will be given another name, and that it may be
modified in manner of conduction, but the basio principal of helping the
people of the United States to save their money by placing it in an abso
lutely safe Investment, and at the
same time to help the government by
lending it their money will remain
Intact," said Beck. Purpose of Campaign.
The purpose of , the 1819 Savings campaign as set forth by the Seventh Federal Reserve District headquarters
in Chicago is:
To helD finance by savings the
! Treasury's war budget.
: By savings to increase the number
of investors In government securities
- By savings to increase the Industrial
resources on which the country s pros perlty depends.
- By formation of thrift habits to augment the force of steady workers and
accelerate production.
By accumulating savings to increase
the security and independence of
workers and their command of opportunity. r By study of wise expenditure to en
large purchasing power and enrich the
resources of each household.
To invest each individual with the ripened judgment and deliberate
choice which makes him master of
himself.
By Increasing the individual s re
sources, to widen the community s purchasing power in its markets and to stimulate trade. War Saving Societies War Saving societies are one of the plans of the campaign of this year. These societies will be sponsored wherever a group of people normally associated in their work can meet as in a factory, school, store, office, lodge, church or other society. Such societies will be asked to report activities to the United States treasury department through the savings committee or director in whose jurisdiction the society is located. From this office supplies also will be received. Each such sub-organization will receive from the government savings director for the district a certificate showing its affiliation with the Savings Division, United States treasury. These societies through individual secretaries will gather pledges from the members, look after their fulfillment, disseminate material on the subject of thrift and stimulate the application, of it, the federal notice states.
The total sales of War Savings stamps during 1918 approximated $1,000,000,000 maturity cash value. The treasury department, however, hopes lhat a maturity value of $1,600,000,000 may be reached in 1919. All money order postoffices, agencies authorized in banks, stores, offices, schools, shops, and all persons authorized as agents are expected to have War Savings stamps and Thrift stamps for sale at all times.

covered until it was too late. The boys are being backed by the
Commercial club and the Board of Public Works. They were divided in
to committees of two and each committee was given a list of 20 names of citizens whom they will solicit Wednesday morning. As soon as the $1,000 is obtained the soliciting will cease.
