I It was the day before Christmas last
; year. All my shopping had been done
(or so i thought) when I suddenly re
membered hearing my eldest son, a
lad of eight years, say, “Oh, I hope
Santa will bring me a harmonlcon this
Christmas," says a writer in the New
York Evening Sun.
Ofcourse I could not disregard .such
a wish, and, although it was raining, I
put on my storm coat and rubbers and
with umbrella in hand started out for
one or our large department stores.
On arriving at the counter where this
particular article was displayed I
found every one so busy I could not ‘

waiting my turn I noticed two sadly
neglected looking little boys or about
’ six and eight years respectively stand
ing very close to the counter and‘look.
i’ng, oh, so longingly at these same bar
monicons, when ,suddenly one of the
young saleswomen 'turned sharply
around and in a loud voice said, “Now,
then, if you two boys don't get away
from here at once I'll call the floor
walker and have you arrested." At the
time this sudden attack was made upon
these poor little waits I was holding
in my hands two of these same mu
sical instruments, trying to decide
which of the two kinds I 'would take.
The larger one of the boys looked up
at me with a frightened look, as if to
say, “Oh, we didn't mean to steal any
thing," when I said, “Boys, would you
each like one of these harmonicons?”
‘ They said nothing, but the look of sur

day, and before you could say “Jack
Robinson" they were out of the store
and out of sight. I turned to the young
woman, saying, “I will pay for them,"
when I noticed the tears in her eyes.“
When she finally found her voice she
said, “Oh, madam, I am so sorry I
spoke as I did.” “Well, never mind,”
I said; “you didn't understand. I am
the mother of two boys and know what i
a boy craves.” When she handed me
my change and package she said, “I {

THE COWREPORTER, KENNEWICX, WASHINGTON
SAVETHEPENNIFSANDWINTHEWAR
The War-Savings Stamp plan by
'which the United States government
will raise before the end of 1918 two
billion dollars in sinall savings from
all the people, including children, for
the war to establish democracy thru
out the world, is now in complete op-‘
eration in this state. i
Anyone who can save $4.23, twenty
five cents at a time, before December
slst, 1918, can have a real part in the
winning of the great war. Anyone
may save as high as SI,OOO, and the
sooner you make each saving and the
larger you make it, the more you earn
as the government itself will-pay four
per cent interest compounded quarter-1
ly, on each War Savings stamp from
the time of its purchase.
The plan includes Thrift Stamps,
War Savings Stamps and War Sav
ings Certificates. These may be ob
tained at any post omce and at other
agencies appointed by the War Sav
ings committee for this state, of which
Daniel Kelleher, chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Seattle Na
tional Bank, is the head. I
A Thrift Stamp costs 25 cents, and
may be used to purchase a War Sav-i
ings Stamp. The latter costs $4.12
this month or next and a cent morel
each month thereafter, until the suml
becomes $4.23 in December, 1918. The‘
War Savings Stamp is to be attachedl
to a War Savings Certificate, supplied
you by the government free of charge
and containing spaces for twenty of
the stamps. On January lst, 1923,
the government will pay to the holder
of a filled War Savings Certificate,
SIOO, or $5 for each 'stamp in it. A
War Savings Certificate filled before
February next will cost $82.40. Re- ‘
ideemed on January lst, 1923, it will .
pay SIOO, a profit to the patriotic sav- :
er of $17.60. .
County Committee chairmen have
been appointed for each county in the
state. Guy H. Pearl, cashier of the
Citizens State Bank, Prosser is, chair
man for this county. The'government
has set the amount, according to pop
ulation and wealth, that each state
should raise. This is $31,000,000 for
the state of Washington. A pro rata
share of this sum has been assigned
to each county in the state, the sum
for Benton County being $158,740.
War Savings Stamps are the ans
wer of a great democracy to the de
mand for a government security that
is democratic in form. They are baby
bonds. Like the Liberty bonds which
have been purchased by ten million
Americans, they have behind them
the entire resources of the govern
ment and the people of the United
States. They are the direct promise
of the United States government to
return your savings to you with four‘
!per cent interest compounded quar
terly, and an investment surpassing
in the factors of safety and income
any that could have been obtained by
the shrewdest capitalists a few months
ago.
I Liberty Bonds and War Sm‘rings
gStamps will be used for the same pur
‘pose, to furnish food and the means of
fighting to the men who are facing the
fiendish devices of the Germans. The
better our men are supplied the soon
er they will win and the fewer of them
will die.
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps pay the same rate of interest.
But while interest is drawn semi-an
nually on Liberty Bonds, it accumu
lates and compounds until January 1,
1923, on War Savings Stamps. The
government has arranged the War
savings stamp plan in this war in or
der to avoid a bookkeeping cost that
iwould - have been prohibitive to the
issue of securities in such a small;
amount as $5. .
The government does not wish
savings withdrawn from banks, and
by the War Savings Stamp plan has
made it possible for each one to be
a war lender to his country out of his
current income.
‘ War Savings Stamps increase in
value each month from the time they
are bought until the day they mature,
on January 1, 1923. At any 'time by
giving ten days' notice in writing,
they-'will be cashed at any money-or
der post office in the United States.
Thus no one-who is suddenly confront
ed with any situation requiring the
immediate use of his savings will be
required to do without them. ‘
For the convenience of investors a‘
Thrift Card' is furnished the purchas.}
er of the 25 cent Thrift Stamp. This
card has spaces for sixteen stamps.
When all the spaces have been filled
the Thrift Card is exchanged for a
War Savings Stamp by adding to the
$4 represented by the sixteen Thrift
Stamps twelve cents in this month
or next, and a cent more each month.
thereafter. Every War Savings stamp
that has been bought in this way, or
by paying the full amount for it at
once, which may be done by those who
prefer not to bother with the Thrift
Stamps, will be redeemed for 86 by
’the United States government on Jan
uary 1, 1923.
5 It is important to note that Wu
Savings Stamps increase each month
in cost as well its value, so that it is
to the interest of the public to buy
early.
When you buy a War Savings stamp
lyou must attach to it a War Savings
Certificate. This is an engraved fold
‘er, which bears the name of the pur
ichaser of the War Savings Stamps on
sit and can be cashed only by the per
! son whose name appears upon the
,certificate, except in case of death or‘
sdisability.
I If the twenty spaces in the War Sav
ings Certificate are not filled with War
iSavings Stamps by January Ist, 1923
those stamps that it contains will be
redeemed by the government at $5
each.
The increase of a cent a month, af
ter next month, in the price of the
War Savings Stamps will make their
cost during the remaining months of
1918 ‘33 follows:
; February $4.13; March $4.14; Aprjl
$4.15; May, $4.16; June, $4.17; July
$4.18; August $4.19; September $4.20;
October $4.21; November, $4.22; De
cember $4.23. ‘
