e ~ ORGANIZED DRIVE Feb. 17 to 24 Named as War * Savings Society Week in ~ * Plans Made Public. INTH DISTRICT ACTIVE Gjtl!rman Rogers Announces Program for 8iy-Day Campaign—Group §o- ocleties to Be Formed Follow- . Ing Intensive Preparation. Minneapolis, Minn.—As a start in the ‘Ninth District on the Treasury De- partment’s plan for a nationwide cam- paign of Thrift education, coupled with {nvestment. of the savings in War Savings Stamps, the week of February 17 to 24 will be War Savings Soclety week. Special emphagis during the six days will be given to the formation of Gov- ernment War Savings Societies in ev- ery-community of the Ninth District states. With the organization of the societies, machinery will be set in mo- tion which will help every citizen save. part: of:the money- earned from- week | to‘week? At the same time.the Gov- ernment of the United States, and in- directly ‘every resident of the nation, will be benefited by the money loaned by savers through their investment in Thrift - Stamps and War Savings Stampas. 'Plans for bringing War Savings So- cieties to. completion in the six days, _beginning February 17, were made pub- lic today by*A. R. Rogers as head of the Ninth District War Loan Organi- zation’s central committee. Group Societies. The War Savings Organization; for which John H. Meyering is War Sav- {ngs division head, aims to have War Savings Societies organized as an ad- junct of the socfal life of every club of all sorts, every store, factory, mill, every big office for¢e, woman’s club, fraternal ¢rder or other organization which affords a ¢common point of coni- tact freqtiently for any considerable number of individuals. Earmers” Clubs and co-operative unions in rural com- munities will be organized into War Savings Stamps clubs in every possi- blé instance, and it 1s the purpose of the directors to have a War Savings Soclety formed in every public, private or 'parochial school in the district. Sunday schools also will be organized for War Savings.’, "To ald county chairmen of the W. 8.'S. division and other leading War Savings workers in organizing the hundreds of socieites the central com- mittée has worked out model types of War Savings societies’ along three lnes: 3 ; 1. A school model.* 2. A community model, especially for the use of rural districts and small |- _towns. 8. A commercial model. The latter is for use as a type to be tollowed In organizing office forces, employes of stores, shops and mills and other business groups. ~ County chafrmen have been furnished ; full detalls of each model. ' The plans are set down to be followed In general Soctetles that wish to vary them rea- sonably may do so. 8 k Alm Of Organizing. The principal functions of the War BSavings Socleties were outlined today by Mr. Rogers as follows: . A campalgn of education through which the members. of each soclety will learn to realize the full valne of savings, both in keeping the original sum of money and through the ad- vantage derived by interest which the money earns, '™ A broaticast spredifing of the doc- trine of .Americanization, ceupled-to the added interest anyone has in an institution in which he is part owner, In this instance each member of a “club has become a part owner of the United States through purchase of ‘War Savings Stamps or Thrift Stamps.

The study done in preparing’| papers or short talks before the so- clety will educate the members in the matters which the clubs are organ- ized to teach. £ Intensive Preparation. Between now and February 17th there will be meetings of War Savings soclety organfgers in many parts of the distriet at which speakers under ‘direction of the central committee wi'l outline the purposes and plans of-the gocleties. +" Although the socleties are now being organized for the year 1919, it has been announced at Washington that they will be kept aliye- and encour- aged to continue permanently. The two-fold purpose of maintaining the gocleties will be to continue giving the people aid in their efforts to saye and to ald steadily to ‘the Govern- ment’s income from small = sources. The Treasury Department has: an- nounced . definitely that taxes can be reduced in practically direct ratio to the amount of money supplied the United States through sale of War Savings Stamps. ¢ “Working' on the fundamental idea of the valué of Thrift, we intend also to convince every person in the dis- trict that the purchase of War Sav- ings Stamps will make savings do a hetter, bigger and more valuable work than any other use of the money,” Mr. Meyering sald today. “At the same time the money saved and invested in stamps will be perfectly safe and will vield an interest return of between 4 per cent. and b per cent..each year. “For more than four years the world has been’ spending. Now the world must either start saving to make up for the loss and wasts or it must fall back into stagnation and sink to a lower stindard of comfort and happi- ness than it had before 1914, But it is not necessary’ for the American people to fall ‘back it they are thrifty and save. We haye the best oppor- tunity to save of‘any of the world's nations. We have the food, clothing and money—all the good things of life. We must make the basis of our prosperity secure. Saving m#kes the future prosperity of the individual eafe. At the same time it supplies mo- ney to the Government with which the whole national structure can be 80 strengthened that we will not have to lose or forego any of our national prosperity.” & MONEY FOR UNCLE SAM Reserve Bank’ Head ‘Appealls for Thrift anq Saving. Bllls Now Pouring In Requiring. Gov- ernment to Pay Price of Great War ~—People Get Money Back. The Ninth Federal Reserve district |. has probably received as great an in- flow of money during the past year as in any two preceding years in its history according to Theodore Wold, governor of the Minneapoilis Federal Reserve bank. Mr. Wold made the statement in calling attention to the secretary of the treasury's statement’ that the government is in urgent need of money, with war costs now in their highest point. With it he coupled an appeal for careful spending, thrift and saving. “Instead of spending twice as much as fu past years the people of this dis- trict have every reason, both of per- sonal advantage and national:necessity for saving,” said M. Wold: “It is true that prices are higher but most fami- les have a good margin above necessi- ties and from this there’ should be substantial savings. ¥ ‘@he immediate way of loaning money to the government, and saving it at the same time is to buy War Say- ings Stamps. When one realizes that as much was yielded last year by sale of these stamps as it cost before the war to run the government for a year it is seen that they are mo trivial fi- nancial item. War Savings Stamps are very real and the man who buys them in proportion to his ability is helping the government as much *as any wealthier man who buys in pro- portion to his ability.” .| WANTED-—Small S THRIFTY WIFE, DEBORAH. ure appears on the 1919 issue of " War Savings Stamps was, according to his own writings, fortunate In his selection of a wife, Of her, he says: “Frugality is an enriching virtue; | was once lucky enough to find It in a wife who, therefore, became a fortune to me.” Deborah Franklin was “thrifty, ; e once 'wrote, R While the philosopher was In comely and made me a good wife,” France seeking aid for the newiy- *porn American republle, Hls life was brightened by rays of cheery gun- shine contained In her frequent letters. ¢ ithe above named ban! s kg THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Bank No. 882, AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE SECUR- ITY STATE BANK OF r At a meeting ‘of- the ‘stockholders of nam held at the bank- fing house on 'thé 27th day of January, A."D. 1919, the following resolution was eftered and adopted by a majority vote of its capital stock: Resolved, that “Section Four of the Certification of Incorporation of this bank be amended to read as follows: Section Four.
