The . great thing is the apirit of coopera tion that can be aroused between the people at home and the men at the front." i So reads a telegram received Satur day by C. S. Jackson, war savings ' campaign chairman for Oregon, from W, B. Ayer, who represented Mr. Jack son at the Washington conference of the ' committeemen, district and state directors with Secretary McAdoo last .week. - J In these words Mr. Ayer expresses ' In part the message conveyed by Pres ident Wilson in a recent utterance In which he emphasized the Impetus to- wards nationwide saving that the cam paign will stimulate. Valor, Alone, Kot Sufficient ; Valor, alone, will not destroy Prus ; slan despotism. The intelligent mobll- - lxatlon and use of America's great re sources are factors as essential to vie-' tory. The Immense financial opera- : tloos necessary in the successful con duct of the war require the coopera ;; tlon and support of the small Investor . and the man and woman of limited means. - Such is the gist of a recent state ment made by Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo in addressing the direo- - tors and many of the state chairmen " of the war savings committee who con stitute the personnel of an organiza tion which, through the sale of war savings stamps and certificates, brings the opportunity of sharing in financing . the war within reach of all. During the two Liberty loan cam paJgns, wtien the smallest amount that could be invested in. bonds was ISO, frequent expressions of regret were heard from patriotic men and women, ready and anxious to do their -part, but who could not afford to do so. The general demand for se curities in smaller denominations was well expresed In a recent letter ad dressed to The Journal by Mrs. C. C. Van Orsdal, : grand guardian of the .-i Neighbors of Woodcraft, who de clared, "I wish it were poseible ror future liberty loan bonds to be is- sued In denominations of 15, $10 and 120, so that the people who have to " do considerable scrimping to mak : their weekly income cover their weekly expenses could gratify their patriotic ambttipn to assist the gov ernment by buying. Liberty bonds." j War Savings Flan Devised Through the war savings certjfi-i cat plan which will be put Into op- j eratlon throughout the country begin-' ' ning December 3, this demand will be, met. Congressional action, approved v September 24, authorizes the secretary .' .of the treasury to borrow sums and1 y Issue therefor war savings certifl-1 - cates providing that the entire sum ' ; , of such certificates outstanding at j one time do not exceed J 2.000,000.000. and providing that no person shall be allowed to purchase more than $100 ' ! worth of such certificates at any one .' time or hold, an aggregate amount' exceeding $1000, these certificates to . be obligations of the United States j ' treasury bearing 4 per cent interest j . and exempt from taxation. A war savings committee was or i ganlaed with Frank A. Vanderllp of New York as ctialrman. During the past week district and state directors have been named. Dis trlct directors for the western states r. Include K. C.
