Is a plan by which you invest your small savings with the United States Government. You do it by buying War Sav- ings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. A War Savings Stamp cost price is added one cent for each month since January. The one cent advance eachmonthis to al- low for interest the stamp earns. These stamps as bought are pasted in a War Savings Certificate, which is a. . folder with 20 spaces for the Stamps. When these 20 spacesare filled put the Certificate away; it is worth $100, pay- . able Jan. 1,1923. Then start another. A United States Thrift Stamp is for in- vestors who want to save but find the War Savings Stamp more than they can spare at one time. . The U.-S. Thrift Stamp costs 25 cents; you get a Thrift Card from the postoffice or bank, or - other authorized agency; no charge for the card. There are 16 spaces on this Card; a place for each 25-cent Thrift Stamp you buy. Sixteen of them make $4. When the card is full, take it to the postoffice, or bank, or other agency and get a War Savings Stamp; you’ll pay the difference, 12 cents for January and one cent more each month during 1918. Paste the War Savings Stamp on the Certificate: Card you get with it, and start a new 25-cent Thrift Card. The U. 8. Thrift Stamps do not bear interest; the War Savings Stamps do—4 per cent, com- pounged every three months. The in- terest is in the convenient form of a monthly increase in the face value of the Stamps. The Stamps are redeem- able at their full value, 5, on January 1st, 1923. If you need to draw out the money you have saved (don’t do it if you don’t have to} go to the postoffice and they will tell you what to do, and what the exact value of your investment is on that date, and give you the money.

One of the thickest skinned animals In existence is the walrus, which is found. in great herds on the ice flelds of the ocean and in winter in Bering sea. Hides one inch thick, especially around the shoulders, are common, and they can be split many times, every layer a tough, strong, durable leather. The hides are used for making bags, crunks and buffers for polishing in the shops of gold and silversmiths. Be- neath the hide of the walrus is a lay- er of fat often six inches thick, which protects the walrus from the cold.
