War-Savings I'ertilUates Offer New
Chance for Small Investor.
: The man with the limited means
even the school boy or girl with a few
pennies to spare now and then who
wants a safe and profitable Invest
ment which at the same time will
help the country, finds his chance in
the new war savings certificate plan.
During December, 1917 and Jan
uary, 1918, war-savings stamps will
Be sold at $4.12 each, at post offices,
banks, trust companies, and many
business houses and factories thru
out the country. At the beginning of
each succeeding month the cost of
stamp will Increase 1 oeot. All war-
savings stamps issued during 1918
will mature January 1, 1923, when
they will be redeemed at $5 each
The difference between purchase
price and the price at maturity rep
resents the interest the Government
will pay the holder, 4 per cent com
pounded quarterly.
The entire wealth and security of
the United States is behind the war
savings certificates. No person may
purchase at one time more than $100
worth, or hold at one time more than
$1,000 worth of these securities.
Thrift stamps costing 25 cents each
may be purchased from time to time
and affixed to a thrift card, which Is
supplied without cost. These stamps
will not bear Interest, but a thrift
card when filled at a cost of $4 may
be exchanged for an interest-bearing
war-savings stamp by turning the
card in and paying the difference be
tween $4 and the current price of
war savings stamp. With the first
war-savings stamp bought the pur
chaser will obtain without charge
war-savings certificate containing
space for 20 of these stamps.
If the 20 spaces are filled prior to
anuary 1,-1918, the cost to the pur
chaser will have been $4.12 for each
stamp, or $82.40 for the filled certlf
icate, and on January 1, 1923, the
Government will redeem It at $100
giving the holder a net profit of $17
60 for the use of his money.
Money derived from war-savings
investments will be used to meet the
expenses of the war. The greater part
of these funds will be expended with
in the United States.

WORTH THE COST OF THE WAR
"I suppose not many fortunate by
products can come out of a war, but
if the United States can learn some
thing about saving out of this war it
will be worth the cost of the war
mean the literal cost of It in money
and resources. I suppose we have
several times over wasted what we
are now about to spend. We have not
known that there was any limit to
our resources; we are now finding
out that there may be if we are not
careful." From President Wilson's
speech to the War-Savings Commit
