If .oft* wishes to nave for the pur­ pose of buying a savings certificate, he may buy a thrift stamp for 25 cents. When one has 16 take them to your postoffice^and get a $5.00 war savings .certificate by paying the ad­ ditional -12 !cents,-, or one cent more each month after January, 1918. Two billion dollars worth of such certificates have been authorised to *' be issued, and the* quota of the state OfOhio is $106,000,000, and of Greene 'County; itf"$600,000. Twenty of the war saving certifi­ cates when filled out at this time will smopnt to $82.40, and this the gov­ ernment will redeem January 1,1923, fpr $ 10 9 , 09 r or a profit to the holder pf $17.00,1 or somewhat over 4. p£r cent. • . :It is unnecessary to say that the purpose of these sales is to raise money; to carry on O'uv ptyft in the European war. ' , The United States could sell this entire issue in possibly one month io lairge investors, but it does not .per­ mit one person* to hold more, than $li000 maturity valued for two xea- «>h*: The first is to enable all ti e people, ’rich! and* poor alike, to have » part in supplying funds for the war; The second .is to encourage thrift and saving among all classes,' but particularly",the hoys and girls. /‘-No such opportunity was ever pre- •fented for investment and saving aSiney.-- .Bear in^mind, you can get your money at par and about &per cent at.any .time by presenting them at*your postoffice, if a money order GfcheV government 7 issues ie a time of maturity and you can get your money back by finding trehaser and selling to him at the cefcprice, and usually you can get and interest. But In this case, nomination of the tfonda and the re­ quirements of cash upon delivery ot $he security, but id thia plan all can participate awl. there are few per­ sons who cannot accumulate suffi­ cient; stamps of 25 cents each be­ tween now and December, 1918, to buy a wav savings certificate. The taxable value of all property in Greene County is about $47,000,- 000,00 and to this, may be safe­ ly . >added ■*sufficient to bring value of property in to. $75,000,009, Bear will repay you at any F'YiKfiP- ajfoiit $ per cent interest, a t maturity with 4.27 per cent number of people who invest in-bond* of the United States is nec­ essarily Rtftffed because of the de­ in mind that farm real estate has greatly increased in value since 1910, when the last 'valuation was made, but to be conservative, place Uie value of all kinds of property in the county at $6^000,000,00. A s ' thejre are 20.0Q0 inhabitants in the ,county, this makes the average wealth of each person $2,090.00,. We are only ashing a>‘contribution of $20.00 •per capita; This is not. asked as a gift or contri­ bution. It is ah investment, all things considered, the best ever offered; free of-taxes, and as sound and good as the government itself. You can obtain them at your post- office of from any accredited agent, Dike a paid-up. insurance policy it furnishes-ready money when the head of the house and, the principal wage earner is 'unable to work, from sick­ ness or misfortune, or dies, and is ob­ tainable a t once. -The hoy or girl desiring a universi­ ty education can begin in this manner to accumulate funds, which will in­ crease in value. Guardians and trustees haye a cer­ tain and safe investment of their fuhds in these certificates. How money in small sums will accumulate is -well illustrated by the two buildings ' and savings associa­ tions in Xenia, which together- have assets of over $3,000,000.00,. a large part of the money of people of mode­ rate or little means. The great purpose of this loan is its advantageous - terms, its simplicity its benefits within reach of all, ought to commend it to everyone. I have said little or-nothing about this war or the righteousness of out cause, of this mighty struggle be­ tween intrenched-monarchy and a de­ termined democracy, and of the neces­ sity that-we-'place*all our energies xn. the service of the country, because these things we all know and are alive to the horrors of this bloodiest war since time began, . Historians tell us- that tfiere -have been great turning points in history, when the conditiohsof society and government, the. mental and moral attitude of people toward each other and to organized government under­ went violent changes. ' Such a point in,history we^are now people wdl govern themselves as they wish* or whether they shall be gov­ erned and at will be called to war and slaughter when their so-called* divinely appointed Eivercign desires. ! I am certain that the people of - Greene county desire to do their part in carrying on this war. An army cannot remain an army without food, clothing, guns and munitions, and for all these much money is required. I call upon all the churches, church societies, fraternal orders, all the school teachers, banks, building asso­ ciations-, and all organised societies, and business men to join in this pat­ riotic work. To encourage the sale of these certificates, to become agents, to preach the doctrine of aid to the government and*thrift to themselves. I have been named chairman, ' for Greene County and with the commit­ tee associated with nie shall do all possible to reach okr amount of $6Q0,- 000; and with your full aid we will do it. For our services we receive noth­ ing, but are dependent upon private contributions for our expenses, but the government depends upon ypurs and our devotion to. the cause to carry this work to success. “ ' M.
