of tlin Covornor of Nortli Carolina, I. I''. H. Fries, North Carolina Director of
War Savings, actintc under the authority of the United States Treasury
ljeiiartment. have asked the ministers of the Gospel and the superintendent!
of Sunday Schools to have a War Saviims message presented In every church
in North Carolina on Sunday. June "it. have called upon every township or
ward War Savings chairman to conduct a house-to house canvass for War
3alnRs pledges during the week following, and have summoned citizens ot
North Carolina to meet at their respective schoolhouses on Friday, June 28,
1919. the hour of the meeting to oe tUed hy the local chairman.
U), al cltixens will ha named to conduct the schoolhouse meetings, who
will kaep a record of the proceedings and report the names of all persous
present and pledging, and the names of all persons present and refusing or
neglecting to pledge, with their reasons for so doing.
War Savigs Stamps (which are United States Government Bonds, the
same as Liberty Bonds) can be paid for during any month ill the year of 11H8,
but It Is Intended that subscriptions for them will be signed during the week
beginning June 23, and. if any deficit eiists at the end of tho house-to-house
canvass, at the schoolhouse meeting on June 2S.
The price of each War Savings Stamp depends npon the month during
which It Is bought. During June each Stamp will cost $4 17. During July
each Stamp. will cost f.18, and so on. one cent more each month during
It'll). On January 1. the Government of tha United States will redeem
aM War Savings Stamps at I5.1H) each, no matter during which month In 191
they were bought. They cost less during the early months of 1918 than during
the later months because the person who buys earlier has loaned his money
U the Government for a longer time than the one who buys later.
By way ot Illustration, note the following table:
