PAGE FOUR ALL ACTIVITIES - UNDER ONE HEAD Ninth District War Loan Organ- ization to Supervise 1919 Sales of U. S. Securities. AVOIDS AL FRICTION New Pian of Co-ordination Expected to Bring Biggest Possible Sales With Least Possible Effort and Expense. ~ and i All the Governm-nt’s 1919 loan ac- tivities in the Ninth District will be directed by the Ninth District War Loan Organization. This means that for the first time the sale of War .- Savings Stamps and Liberty Loan ‘Bonds are all under the same district supervision and ‘that all efforts to dispose ' of Government securities will be under the same district super- vision and that all efforts to dispose of Government securities will be co- ordinated in a manner that will bring the biggest possible sales with the least possible effort and expense. Por some time past officials of the Treasury Department .in Washington have realized that the War Savings Stamp Sales Organization needed Na- ]D.; Roger L. Dennis, Sioux Falls, 8. ‘D.; J. H.

Efficlency and Economy. “We feel, very gertain that the 1919 sale of Government securities can be effected with much ‘less expense and more efficiently under the new ar- rangements”, sald Governor Wold to- day. Any lack of results in the past has been due to the fact that there has been no central direction and no well organized, continuous plan for the sale of thesa securitfes. As we have planned the organization, which will be directed after the first- of Jan- uary by Mr. Rogers, we are certain that results will be obtained with much less effort and without friction which developed in some loealities during the past year, “The Treasury Department at Wash- ington is working out & compléte and scientific national campaign to in- duce thrift and the investment of sav- ings in Government securities. Our district organization will have the benefit of the Government’s’ work and will adapt and put into operation such parts of the plan as meet the condi- tions in this territory. “We appreciate the enthusiasm and loyal efforts of the men and women who have worked untiringly to effect the sale of War Savings Stamps dur- ing the past year in the various states of this district. We know that with the experience they have had and ‘with the aid of mew direction and ex- perience they will be able to accom- plish very much more during the com- ing months, While there is to be an- other Liberty Loap drive, it will be necessary to put more steam behind the sale of Government Savings Stamps than ever before. The Gov- ernment expects to realize $2,000,000, 000 from the sale of,Savings Stamps during 1919. This {s.more than twice the amount gold during 1918 and indi- THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1819 . e |ROOSEVELT’S FAMOUS ORDER TO DEWEY AT MANILLA IS RECALLED Washin, on, Jan. 8.~—In the re- cords of the navy department, Theo-| dore Roosevelt has left many mem- orials to his keen interest in the serv- ice, but none more striking than en order cabled to Admiral Dewey on February 25, 1898, nearly two months before war was declared on Spain, in which the first step toward American occupation of the Philip- pine Islands was taken. e Mr. Roosevelt, then" assistant sec- retary of the navy, issued the order without the knowledge or approval of Secretary Long, and in his auto-: mobiography he described this as one of the times when he seized oppor- WANTED—Woman cook at Erickson | “GRAB A YANK WHILE THEY _Hotel. 8d110 WANTED—Gir]l.

It was evident that the’ campalgn for the sale of these smaller securities had been a sort of Hidt ‘or miss affair, good, bad, or indif- ferent, dépending on the efficlency and enthusiasm of local organizations. Several months ago it was decided to put the sales organization of War Savings Stamps in the hands of L. B. Franklin, national director of four successful ‘Liberty Loan drives. His - official title thereupon became Direct- or of the War Loan Organization and e was given national charge of the placing of the forms of Government seeurities mentjoned above. The Treasury Department delegated to each of the twelve governors of the Federal Reresrve banks the re- sponsibility of building and putting in- to working order the necessary ma- . for the sale of all Government {8 district. The method 1 “thess forces and of or- fslig -thema most efficlently was lett to the judgment of each bank gov- ernor; : Governor Theodore Wold of the Ninth Federal Reserve District has in turn’ delegated the work of organizing and ‘directing the Government securi: ties ‘sales forces to the Central Com- mittee of the Ninth District of which A. R. Rogers of Minneapolis is the executive head. This is the committee which has been s0 eminently sue- cessful during the last three Liberty Lou; drives and has placed the Ninth District in an enviable position of leadership. 1 Two Distinct Organizations. Mr. Rogers announces that the old Liberty Loan organization, including state, district, county and local chair- . men! snd workers which numbers nearly 40,000 individuals will be kept fntact to prepare and carry through the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which will be made sonie time in April. Dis- tinct from this organizaticn, yet a partiof it as far as district direction is concerned will be the old War Sav- ings, Btamp state organizations of Montana, Minnesot2, North Dakota, South Dakota, Northern Wisconsin and Northern Michigan. These state organizations will also be kept Intact as far as possible and will form the nucieus of the Government Savings Stamp Division of the Ninth District War Loan Organization. The personnel of the Ninth District War Loan Organization that will have supervision over the sale of these Government securities during 1919 is as follows: A. R. Rogers, Chairman Central Committee; Homer P. Clark, Vice- Chajrman Central Committes; Benj. 8. Bull, Director of Publicity; Joseph Chapman, Director of Speaker's Bu- reau. Liberty Loan Division: Chas. E. Van Nest, Director of Orgamization; F. K. Btuart, Director of Investiga- tion. State Chairmen: Norman B. Holter, Helena, Montana; Wesley C. McDowell, Marion, N. D.; J. C. Bas sett, Aberdeen, S. D.; Frank P. Hixon, La Crosse, Wisconsin; John W. Black, Houghton, Michigan. Government Savings Stamp Divi- slen: John H. Meyering, Director of Organization; R. C..Teuscher, Assis- tant Director of Organization. State Chalrmen: H. W. Turner, Butte, | #ontans; George Hollister, Fargo, N. | ty of the people of the Ninth District, 1 would not have accepted the added responsibility of directing-the war loan organization which is-a combina- tion of the War Savings and Liberty Loan activities. We have a big task in front of us, but I know we are.not going to quit now -and that the’ men and women who have worked 8o earn- estly and effectively in' this district will continue to keep the wonderful record nf their communities and their district untarnished. “In-a last analysis, the' individuals | must do the work and finish the job. We in the District Central Organiza .A. R. Rogers, Chairman. tion will endeavor to help the people on the firing line. We will do every- thing we possibly can to show them the necessity for loaning money to their Government and to help convert those who do not understand. “The great mass of people have never fully realized ,the importance and the value to individuals and to good Government of buying Savings tamps. Owing - largely to:the fact that the Liberty Loan drives have oo- cupied the center of the stage the smaller securities have seemed some- what trivial. This has never been the right attitude and it s more import- ant now than ever before that we should change our view point. The fact that Qovernment Savings Stamps can be and are purchased by many thousands of people who are not able to buy Liberty Bonds makes this form of security of untold value to.the Gav- ernment. Right now the Government needs large amounts of cash for the payment of debts and the advantage- ous- settling of war contracts. The proceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds have been spent. A large pur- chase of Savings Stamps at this time will give the Government the money it needs and will do much toward making certain permsnent peace and prosperity in this and other countries of the world. “A complete and progressive came- paign of education and for the sale of ‘War Savings Stamps now and Liberty Bonds. later is being worked out by the Central Committee. Details will be given members of the organization as soon as possible and we know that with the help of the splendid army-of loyal Americans that have made the Ninth District reapected during the war, we will continye to lead the forcea of freedom.™ Scme PRSI FOR SALE—Two cows, one fresh and one coming in.
