Tho Federal Government has asked the Governor or tho State to uppenl to the people or tho State to Klvo War Savings Stamp and Treas ury Savings Certlllcnteti us Christmas present this year. A similar roiiuest has bvon made to nil the mayors of the larger cities In the Twelfth Fede ral Itesvrie District. General giving or War SnvliiK Stamps and Treasury Savlnus Cortlll- cat os us Christum presents tho Gov ernment reels would do much toward bringing prices or necessities back to a normal level hy cutting tho demand for luxuries, and would help to sta bilize the llminchil situation, besides starting many or the recipients or such presents along the road or sav ing and thrift. In Its Christmas cam paign tho Government has enlisted banks, clergymen, schools, and fra ternal organisations, and has seen to It that the banks and postofflces huvo a sufflceut supply of securities on hud to meet Hie Christmas demand. Governor John U. Calkins of the Han Francisco Federal Iloservo Hank, which has charge of the work of the War Umii Organisation in the Twelfth Fiilernl Iteserve District, points out the benellts to be derived through tho general giving or securities or tho Gov er.iincni a Christmas presents In the following excerpt from a letter to the Governors : "ICvonnmlets are agreed that tho preseut exorbitant level of prices that constitute not only an economic but a social inaiinee Is caused to a groat extent by n 'spending spree' being In dulged 1 1 by the people. Indulgence lu lux. rise, which, or course, causes Iiitms In tin iiecesultlen of life, ha raised prices generally to such unlaw id or heights that Christmas buying this year promises a danger ous olluiax. We, therefore, appeal to you to call upon tho people of jour suie (or city) to forego tho giving of Hi usual Christmas gifts this year mid Instead give securities of tho United State Government, such as Thrift and War Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certificates and Liberty I loads. There could be no more timely effort at stabilization or prices and' production than such no tion upon jour part and tho part of the people, n majority of whom, 1 am sijre, would answer your call." A man orrwted In San Francisco on I, W. Y. charge offered War Savings Slumps lu evidence to disprove Hi barges. It was u good plea. A man la San Francisco who had to work his way through college buys a War Savings Stamp ovory week for his baby son -who will have several thou.
