WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATE
STAMPS
You know about the pitiful mothers and babiea of northern Franca,
northern rtaly, Belgium, Serbia, Roumanla and Poland, do you? The
homeless, ragged, freezing, starving, diseased, mutilated woman and
children caught in the Invasion of their countries by the war-mad beasta
from the German Jungle you know about them? You know the Ameri
can Red Cross In Europe Is the one agency that can help them that It
la the silver lining of tha blackest cloud the world has aver known? The
Red Cross must have 15,000,000 members by Christmas eve. You must
Join at once. The man who would turn down the Red Cress ought for
over more to be ashamed to face good women and Innocent children.
TO MOTHERS
The Red Cross Needs Your Help
to Save Women and Babea
In Europe and to Care
for Our Soldiers.
TO FATHERS
When You Join the Red Cross
and Give Your Mite, You Help
Our Soldiers In Europe and
Feed Starving Babiea.
Dour Mothers : Surely you will do
what you can to relieve the sufferings
of the homeless, wretched mothers and '
Children of war-torn Europe ragged,
starving, freezing, tuherculous women
and babies who for three years have !
endured the horrors of hell. They
are your sisters and your sisters' I
Children. The end Is not yet for them.
Think what they must go through this
winter. Think of yourself and your
little ones here in America, safe and
comfortable.
In the trenches "over there" are mil
lions of men undergoing indescribable
"hardship and suffering and death to
ave the liberty-loving world from the
kaiser and his savage hordes. Think
of them. Remember they are stand
ing between you and the fate that God
Jess, "kultur"-mad Germany poured
upon the women and children of north
ern France, northern Italy, Belgium,
Poland and Roumaula.
Of course you cannot go to Europe
and nurse and feed and clothe and
shelter those sufferers. But the Amer
ican Red Cross is over there doing It
the noblest labor In the world's history.
Our Red Cross Is nursing and feeding
and clothing and sheltering them. And
It la conducting thousands of hospitals
and ambulance lines and comfort sta- !
tlons for American soldiers and the
soldiers of our allies.
Yet the Red Cross cannot do enough
ln-cuuse M hasn't bulf enough mem
bers. Therefore a campaign Is being
made to get fifteen million members by
Christmas eve. It is an honor to be
long to the organization.
You will Join, won't you? You will
see that your husband enrolls, and that
each of the children is enrolled sure
ly. Annual membership costs $1.00.
An additional dollar brings the Red
Proas Magazine for a year.
Fathers: oppose that three years
ago a powerful and savage enemy had
invaded our nation suddenly arid you
had been called into the army to de
fend th country. Suppose that our
county had been captured by the In
vader; your home burned, your wife
ind half-grown daughter carried away
into slavery worse than death and your
on mutilated and put to work behind
the enemy lines.
You think such things couldn't hap
pen to you and your family? Well,
Just those horrors were visited upon
thousands of fathers In France and
Belgium by the kaisers savages. It
has been revealed to us during the last
few months by the secret service that
the Huns were plotting an invasion
if the United States through Mexico.
But for a fair destiny those horrors
would have been ours, because the kai
ser alms to dominate the world and
spread over the earth his brand of love
mil fellowship called "kultur."
The American Red Cross has been
called upon to relieve suffering "over
there" and to restore as far as possible
devastated sections of allied territory.
It la now on the Job. The Red Cross
is conducting thousands of hospitals in
France for American and allied sol
diers, and running ambulance lines
nd comfort stations innumerable.
Yet the organization cannot do
enough because it hasn't half enough
members back home here to support
the vast work there. So now It Is con
ducting a campaign to get fifteen mil
lion members by Christmas eve. It Is
an honor to belong to the Red Cross.
If you aren't already wearing the little
button, enroll at once. The member
ship costs Just $1.00 a year. Another
dollar brings you the Bed Cross Maga
zine for twelve months.
3aftering Europe, especially the
women and children, needs your help.
What They Are and How to Buy Them
At the last session Congress author
ised au issuance of two billion dol
lars In government securities in
amounts of 28 cents and 5 dollars.
The 125 cent securities are kuown ns
'Thrift Stamps.'' The 5-dollar size
are called "Wnr Savings Stumps."
The Secretary of the 'treasury was
given until January 1, 1U1S, to dispose
of these securities.
The congressional act authorising
the War Certltlcnte Loan provides
that no person can own more than
one thousand dollars' worth of these
SCttrltteS, The obvious reason for
this was to prevent the loan being
taken up by big Investors, whic'i
would otherwise have been done on
account ol the high rate of interest
paid.
The small amounts In which the
war savings securities can be obtain
ed were made to allow every man,
woman and child In the country to
aid In loaning the government money
for the prosecution of the war. The
5-dollar war savings stamps when at
tached to a Certificate are practically
government bonds. The stamps pay
4 Interest compounded quarterly,
which (s equivalent to about 44.
The 25-cent stamps will not bear In
terest, but when one saves sixteen of
them and turns them In for a 5-dollar
war savings stump, the Investment
begins to draw Interest. The 5-dollar
stRtnps carry the highest rate of In
terest the government baa aver paid
on money It haa borrowed.
Tha thrift stamps, as well as the
war savings stamps, will be on sale
at post offices, banks, stores and
numerous other authorized agencies.
During December 1017 and January
1P18. sixteen 25-cent thrift stamps
can be turned In at any authorized
agency with twelve cents, or a total
of $4.12, and a 5-dollar war savings
stamp can be obtained. This stamp,
while worth only $4.12 when bought,
will at the end of five years be
worth $5.00, and at that time can be
cashed at any post olllce for that
amount.
During December this year and
January of next year 5-dollar war
savings stamps will cost $4.12 each;
In February, $4.13; In March, $4.14;
In April. $4.15; aud so they will cost
one cent more each month up to
December 1!)18, when they will sell
for $4.23 each.
A card Is given with the first 25
cent thrift stamp on which sixteen of
the stamps cun be pasted. When one
purchases a 5-dollar war savings
etamp or turns in a card with slxteeu
thrift stamps on It and twelve oeuts
extra, he gets a 5-dollar war savings
atamp and a war savings certificate
that has room for twenty of the war
savings stamps. The name aud ad
dress of the purchaser is wrltteu on a
certificate when bought. If It Is lost
all the finder has to do Is to drop It in
the mall box in accordance with the
Instructions on the card aud It will be
returned to the owner.
One can buy one hundred dollars'
worth of war aavlngs stamps for
$82.40 during December of this year
and January of next year, and a little
more eucb month throughout the year.
When that amount of atamps la
bought, one will get a certificate con
taining twenty stamps which five
years hence, or on January 1, 1921.
will be worth $100.00. Anyone can
buy thrift stamps or war savings
stamps In any amount up to $1,000.
If one buys war savings stamps
and does not want to keep them for
the period of five years, they can be
cashed any time at the poet office.
The war savings stamps are not
subject to tax except inheritance
taxes or on lucomes over $3,000 per
year.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
alloted to Nebraska the sale of twenty-six
million dollars' worth of war
aavings stamps, which means about
$20 per person In the state. The or
ganization to sell the stamps In Ne
braska la centered In Omaha under
the direction of Mr. Ward Burgess,
who has the title of State Director.
Assisting him Is an executive com
mittee composed of O. T. Fastinaa,
O. E. Duffle, Guy C. Kiddoo. E. W.
Folds and Joseph Barker. Frank
Bullta is State Publicity Manager aud
H. O. Palmer field secretary. There
wtll also be a chairman in sSTh coun
ty and a committee In each town la
