WHAT THEY ARE AND WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
“War Stavings Stamps," says the government leaflet,
"are the answer of a great democracy to the demand for a
democratic form of government security. They are ‘little
hahv bonds.’ Like Libertv bonds, thev have behind them
« • *
the entire resources of the government and the people of
the United Statts. They have the additional advantage
that thev steadilv grow and increase in value from the
date of purchase until the date of maturity, and this in
crease is guaranteed by the government."
We take it there is not a reader of The Gateway but
knows of the denominations in which these stamps and
bonds are issued and mav be obtained. Many readers
mav not have figured it out. however, that one of these
certificates or bonds bought this January at $4.12. will be
worth ne.v January $1.24 in money at any United States
% %
depository, or anywhere else for that matter; a year later
>‘4.36; in another twelvemonth $4.48: in January 11)22,
$4.60, and in January 1023. $5.00.
Why should you buy them'.’ To put the least of reas
ons first: They are positively the best savings invest
ment on the market. They offer a field of investment
wherein every person has a chance, even to him who can
do no better than chisel off a two-bit piece every now and
then. Thev entice to saving more than anv other form of
investment.
Hut the great reason, the over-shadowing inducement
to every real American—to revert again to the language
of the government leaflet—“is because your country is at
war. Your country needs every penny which every man,
woman and child can save and lend in order to feed, clothe
arm and equip the soldiers and sailors of America and to
win this righteous war in defense of American honor and
•he cause of democracy throughout the world.”
Every word of that reason why you should buy these
stamps and bonds is freighted with the suggestion of duty.
We cannot believe there is need for further urging. You
know the merciless, beastly nature of the fot we have to
conquer. You know the power with which that foe has
equipped himself. You know that world is not safe for
1 any free people—that is is not safe for you and yours—un
dl that foe is vanquished and his power to work furtehr
beastly evil destroyed. In the role of hero you would be
proud to help vanquish him. You can help beat him by
saving. It is quite as important as fighting.
For every individual citizen the proffer and purchase
of these stamps and bonds should be a matter of personal
patriotism. They offer the chance for everyone to do his
bit as the enthusiasm of his loyalty and the nature of his
' love of country will prompt.
Consider this matter of thrift stamps and saving cer
tificates—what they are and why you should buy them. It
is only a question of thinking seriously about them, and
’ he rest will follow.
As a war measure we now have a national employ
ment bureau under whose auspices labor may be transfer
red from one section of the country to other sections
✓ *
where the demand is acute. Owing to our eight hour law
in Alaska and the already present shortage of labor, we
will need a few thousand men up here.

With the vaudeville show and dance planned for early
, in February; the masquerade to be given by the Fire De
partment members in the latter part of February and the
i minstrelsy planned in March, three big events for diver
sion of social affairs are promised.
It is understood that a labor agitator is coming to
Seward to form unions. During the war and until the la
bor situation in Seward is bettered, the best thing for the
agitator to do forget Seward for he will not be welcomed.
