To the Citizens of Cleveland, White County, Ga.: Friday, June 28, 1918, is offici¬ ally designated WAR SAVINGS DAY by the President of the United States and the Governor of Geor¬ gia, All loyal citizens of this com¬ munity will accordingly devote the said day to subscribing for WAR SAVINGS STAMPS and otherwise promoting their sale in large amounts. All who are able should pledge themselves to save and invest to the limit allowed by law. J. E. NORTON, Mayor. Speakers Chosen For War Savings Day. Because of the scarcity of pro¬ curable speakers to deliver address¬ es at the school bouses in White county on War Savings Day, it has been found necessary in some instances to consolidate two school communities where they are most conveniently located. In instances where consolidation has been an¬ nounced patrons and pupils of all schools concerned ase especially urged to meet at the school-house designated and thereby prove their willingness to loan the government their money and show their sym¬ pathy for the cause in every way possible. So far as possible there will be held on that day a meeting at 2 o’clock in every school house in America. This will be a great “get together” day, and let evesy person who possibly can assemble together in unity on that day that the Fact that tin’s country is united¬ ly and determinedly grappling at the throat of the the tyrant who seeks by force to enslave the world may be made the sooner to realize the error of his inexcusable way.

WAR PROCLAMATION President Of The United States Proclaims Friday, June 28, 1918, is National War Savings Day GOVERNORS AND MAYORS MAKE SIMILAR PROCLAMATIONS f Meetings Will Be Held In Every Community To Secure Subscriptions Fdr War Savings Stamps Pursuant to the proclamations of President of the United States and the Governor of this State, I, War Savings Director for Georgia, acting un¬ der the authority of the United State* Treasury Department, have called all taxpayers and wage earners to meet, on Friday, June 28th, to give their subscriptions for Wav Savings Stamps. In rural communi¬ ties and the smaller towns and cit¬ ies, meetings will be held in the school houses at 2 p. m. Officers will conduct the meeting in each school house, keeping a record of the proceedings and reporting the names of all persons present and the amount of War Savings Stamps sub¬ scribed for by them. The names of absent persons, and of those who re¬ fuse or neglect to subscribe, with their reasons for so doing, will also be re¬ ported. War Savings Stamps (which * are United States Government Bonds the same as Liberty Bonds) can be paid for during any month in the y?ar 1918, but It is intended that subscrip¬ tions will be signed for them on June 28. The price of each War Savings Stamp depends upon the month dur¬ ing which it is bought, During June each Stamp will cost $4.17. In July each Stamp will cost $4.18, and so on, one cent more each month during 1918. On January 1, 1923, the Gov¬ ernment of the United States will re¬ deem all War Savings Stamps at $5.00 each, no matter during which month la 1918 they were bought. They cost less during the early months in 1918 than during the later months because the person who buys earlier has loaned his money to the Government for a longer time than if he should buy later. By way of illustration, note the fol¬ lowing table: Cost Of War Savings Stamps During June, July And August, 1918 Anil Are Cost in Cost in Cost in Worth on June July August Jan. 1, 1923 1 Stamp . . $ 4.18 $ 4.19 $ 5.00 20 Stamps . ......83.40 83.60 83.80 100.00 50 Stamps . ...... 208.50 209.00 209.50 250.00 100 Stamps . 418.00 419.00 500.00 200 Stamps . 836.00 838.00 1,000.00 WNW W“ ’ ~ ﬁ":"’f’:zzx:“ 'f;;:1-_ ,V »’ ."W." :* [#7 W" layman liklyaww!"11W{Ffi’j-i5.ié’fmneyy,g/Qvfi wow wraa ‘, of a " 1:2: .1 / 7‘ ~ , g- , ' W.-W*§asgw “ .
