OPPORTUNITY TO START SAVING
He Will Give Each of First Two Hun

25 Cent Thrift Stamp,
A SECOND ONE TREE OF COST
We have not observed heretofore
as feasible a project for the raising
of the needed funds and for furnish
ing an adequate means of saving for
so large a number of people and en
couraging them in habits of thrift,
as that found in the War Savings
Certificates and Thrift Stamps being
offered by the government at this
time.
Considering that most all people
understand the nature of the Thrift
Stamps and th.e War Savings Certifi
cates, it -would seem that no allu
sion need be made to that, hut for
fear some may not know of the sys
tem which is being used, it will ba
explained here briefly again.
The United States is floating a
new loan of 52,000,000,000, which
was authorized by act of congress to
be put out in such small denomina
tion that everyone can participate
in the good cause and save some
thing for a rainy day as well. There
are Issued what are known as Thrift
Stamps, costing twenty-five cents
each, a card being given the pur
chaser with his initial stamp, upon
which to stick sixteen of these 25
cent stamps. When the card shall
have been filled it will pohtain $4.00
worth of stamps, and by taking it
with 12 cents to the postoffice the
holder thereof may get a five dollar
face value stamp and a War Saving
Certificate Folder, which will hold

When you have accumulated anoth
er card full of Thrift Stamps it can
ikewise be exchanged for a second
War Saving Certificate to be attach

Finally when you have succeeded in

This is in substance the order of
procedure, although you may buy
one or as many as you choose of the

Aluch interest is being taken in
these Baby Bonds, as they are call
ed, by people everywhere, and a great
many are investing in them, especial
ly boys and girls and young men and
young women who find them a need
ed adjunct to encourage habits of
thrift where those of spendthrift
heretofore existed.
Mr. C. C. Parmele, who is the
chairman for this city and has full
charge of this matter, is going to
explain all there is to know about,
the "Baby Bonds" to all who will
inquire regarding them, of him. He
will be found at the Cass County
bank, and anyone desiring to re
ceive information of any kind in re
gard to the plan should consult him
regarding the matter. Not only is
Mr. Parmele going to explain but
he has arranged to make a gift to
the first two hundred school child'
ren who come to the bank immedia
te! jr after three-thirty tomorrow af
ternon with twenty-five cents for a
thrift card.- All that is necessary is
second stamp absolutely free, thus
making the youthful saver a pair of
these stamps for the price of one and
giving them a good start on their
Thrift card. All that is necessary is
to be on hand early with your quar
ter for the one stamp and he will
give you the other free, which you
can count as his Christmas present
to you. Hem ember the stamp will
be given free if you are among the
first two hundred to .appear after
3:30. This will give you time to
get there from school.
where, and we should take hold of
it here with more vim. The gift of
two hundred stamps costs him exact
ly fifty dollars, so you can see how
much he is interested in it and in
the success of his ' government and
his friends, the school children of
Plattsmouth.
Remember it will be pretty nice,
when the time comes just five years
from now, to have the Government
present you with the cash for those
savings of the presentv and one hun
dred dollars, in return for a little
saved every day and week will be
most acceptable. The matter of form
ing the habit of saving will be more
beneficial to you also. Again, you
will be helping the government, not
only Uy doing your bit, but by doing
"two bits" at a time, and with the
millions who are accumulating a sav
ings account in like manner, money
will roll into the coffers of the Xa
tion to be used to help advance the
cause of democracy and make civili
zation sate tor the coming genera
tions.

The Woodmen Circle loGge held a
splendid meeting at their lodge
rooms last evening and in spite of
the severe cold weather, was largely
attended I by the members of this
organization. The greater portion of
the evening was devoted to transact
ing various business matters of the
lodge, and this being the closing of
the year's work, the anuual election
of officers was held at this time. The
following officers were elected: Mrs
M. E. Manspeaker Guardian; Mrs.
James Mrasek Past Guardian: Mrs
T. B. Bates, Advisor; Mrs. R. A.
Bates Chaplain; Mis. A. J. Trilety
Attendant; Mrs. John Bauer, Sr. As

Clerk; Mis? Anna Rys, Inside Senti

Sentinel; Physician, Dr. Flynn; Mrs

ler, and Miss Georgia Matous Mana
gers. The ladies regret very much
to lose Mrs. James Mrasek as their
Guardian as she has been very faith
ful and efficient in the performance
of "her duties but feel that in elect
ing Mrs. Manspeaker as Guardian
that the work will be carried on in
the same efficient manner that it has
in the past. Mrs. Mrasek is to leave
in the spring for the west where she
will make her future home. The
Woodmen Circle lodge has had a most
successful year and the ladies feel
that a goon share of this success is
due to the untiring efforts made by
Mrs. Droege, as she is always work
ing for the best, interest and success
of the lodge. They have 2o0 mem
bers now.
