BUY WAR SAVINGSSTAMPS State Wide Campaign to Be ^During Week of May 11-18 T am just in receipt of an urgent letter, asking that McHenry county increase her pledges for war stamps immediately, until her entire quota has been subscribed. A state wide campaign will be con­ ducted during the week of May 11-18 for war savings pledges. The methoa thruout the state will be uniform. Details of the plan have not yet reached • McHenry county and for that reason cannot be made known at this time. As soon as they are received meetings of the various chairmen of the county will be held and the organ­ ization shaped up to place McHenry county well toward the top in her war work thru the purchase of war stamps. From th^ instructions that we have already received, an attempt will be made to have one solicitor for every twenty people. It seems that an impression has gene out that this is a twenty-five cent proposition, but it is not, it is a two billion proposition, just $3.00 per .capita less than the third liberty loan. We are not limited to small sub­ scriptions. War stamps may be pur­ chased in denominations of $830.00, $83.00, $41.5, 25c or any multiple of the lesser denominations. Like the liberty bends, the government is not asking for donations, but investments. As soon as the definite plans reach this office, The Plaindealer will an­ nounce them thru its columns. The undersigned realizes that the purchase of war stamps in many in­ stances means self sacrifice and self denial, but when we realize that we are actually fighting in France when we are making these loans to our government and that "our bit" along this line is as patriotic as the build­ ing of ships or the firing of cannons, it than a hardship or a fate. War is a desperately serioufe busi­ ness. Your government and mine should feel that It can count on tig to the limit* A. M. Shelton, County Chairman War Savings Con.
