Kloepfer In the presence of this great war with a foreign foe, it is unnecessary to say to you as an American Citizen that to win the war every American must perform his duty in whatever vocation of life he may be engaged. The postal service is called upon by law to sell War Savings and Thrift stamps for the purpose of cultivating the saving habit among the people and raising revenue to support the government, and it is my duty to see to it, so far as it lies within my power, that everyone in my postal district purchases their share of these stamps during the year 1918, It is not my purpose to write you at length because already you are familiar with the pressing need of the government for additional re- venue to bring this terrible war to a speedy and successful conclusion. I.simply want to remind you that this is a time of great sacrifice when every one must show his devotion to his country. Need I present any argument to induce you to immediat- ely give thorough consideration to the signing of the enclosed pledge card for the systematic saving and purchasing of War Savings and Thrift stamps? The war savings in- vestment from a financial viewpoint is in every way desirable and its patriotic necessity must be apparent to all who love our Flag. Winnetka has a distinct duty to perform in this campaign. Her quota alloted by the government is $120,- 000; $20 for every man, woman and child. I feel that Winnetka will come forward in this war savings campaign as she has in other war work. Pledge week will be inau- gurated May 11, and will end May 18. During that time it is the duty of every member of your household to sign a pledge card, covering just as many War Savings and Thrift stamps as it will be possible to pur- chase during the year 1918, up to $1000 worth, if you can do so. Many can give the maximum pledge. Make it a point to save a certain amount monthly, weekly or daily and buy War Savings and Thrift stamps. Re- turn the card to me and I will ar- range to have your stamps delivered at your door by the mail carrier in such quantities and at such times as you direct. Additional pledge cards can be obtained from any mail car- rier. Surely, it could not be made | more convenient to you to help and | save in this great work. Please do not fail to sign the en- closed pledge card and hand both cards to your letter carrier or mail. [A War Savings Service button will be furnished to each person signing a pledge. Very respectfully, Arthur M. Kloepfer,s Postmaster and, director Cook County Postmasters' Section of Illinois Division of Postmasters' for War Savings campaign.

Plea for Pictures of Boys in the Service The War Emergency Union planning to compile a"Hero Albumn" for Winnetka and hopes to have in it a picture of every boy in service from Winnetka.
