WAR SAVINGS SCHEMES.
In Amarillo, each boy who pledgas
himself to buy Thrift Stamps, re
reives a poster to bang up In his
window, reading, "Thrift boy here. I
am working for Uncle 8am,”—then
he gets a card signed by Mr. Mayer,
Chairman of the Potter County Dlvl
s.on which shows be Is a member of
the army of boys In AmsrtUo who
sre ready and anxious to work; who
need everything they can get to do
and who have promised to save that
money for Uncle Ssm.
Abe Sobel, a twelve-year-old news-
boy at Beaumont. Tex., won the $5.00
prire offered by Coun|y Chairman
Jas. F. Weed. In the Thrift Contest
there last week. In five days he
earned $3.79. The only requirement
stipulated In Mr. Weed's prise who
won must earn the money and sub-
mit a * statement showing how ho
earned It Abe wee the first boy to
turn In his rssulta, and an n conao-
quence, he now owns two Govern-
ment securities that In lgflt tfl it
| worth 910.99.
On January 21st Mr. McAdoo
issued a personal message to all
holders of Liberty Bonds, in
which the following very wise
and timely remarks occur. They
should be read by every Bond
Holder:
“It has been brought to my
attention that a large number
of patriotic citizens who sub-
scribed to Liberty Ixian Bonds
both the fir-1 and second is-
-re are 1 eing approached from
itr.e to time :>y Ajrents who
lave, with too fivquent suc-
e s, induced them to sell tlieir
iberty Loin Bonds and take
m exchange securities which in
number of case; have been
»f a very questionable value.
“1 therefore warn investors
n Liberty l/mn Bonds against
•xchange of tnese evidences of
hoir patriotism for any secur-
! ies or so-called securities.
Vhile some of the securities, or
o-called securities, ottered in
xchange for Government Bond-
ire of sound value, there is no
doubt that a large percentage
of them are worthless.
“1 believe it is for the best
interests of the people at large,
is well as for their actual pro-
tection, that they disregard all
uch offers and hold fast to the
best investment in the world,
that is. Bonds of their own
Goverment.
“It is my earnest hope that
every purchaser of a Liberty
Bond will realize that the only
genuine help he gives his Gov-
ernment is I y keeping his Bond
as an investment as long as it is
possible for him to do so. Where
because of misfortune or imper-
ative necessity, the holder of a
Liberty Bond is forced to sell,
here can, of course, lie no ob-
ection.”
