Exchange Interest for Stamps The one million persons and cor porations in the Sixth Federal Re serve District who bought Third Liberty Loan Bonds will have an opportunity of turning interest into more interest on September loth, P. P. Sutton, postmaster of Kirkland, Ga.. said to-day. “On that day the Government will make a semi annual payment on the Third Liberty Loan Bonds, amounting to the sum of $88,750,- 981.81. The Treasury I lepartment is urging that bondholdees reinvest their interest in Thrift and Wax- Saving Stamps and thus keep their dollars working. "Making a wealth heap has two processes —addition and multipli cation. “Saving is addition —a dollar and a dollar and a dollar. It comes easier as one goes along but the increase is no faster next year than now. “When you set the dollar to work —that is multiplication. Your pile grows slowly this year, a little faster, still a little, then faster and faster, till interest out runs saving.” “War Saving Stamps do more than add dollar to dollar. They begin to multiply. No better in vestment could be found for your interest coupons. Remember this on Sept 15th.” Demonstrat ion is the best mode of instruction. Hello There!
