Although small in price, these Sterling Government securities afford a help to both the investor and to Uncle Sam. As indicated by the cartoon, many small amounts loaned to the Government help to defray the big bill of expenses Incurred in conducting the greatest democracy on earth, in which everyone may become shareholders. This cartoon is the work of George T. Kelting, Jr., a young, man with original ideas and ability. Mr. Kelting is a true disciple of saving, for after surgeons predicted that he would lose the use of his hand the young man proceeded to save the injured member by adopting special exercises, which finally resulted in his regaining partial control of it. He was at one time a cartoonist on the Hartford (Conn.) Post and during the several Liberty Loan campaigns contributed several good sketches and cartoons, which were widely published. Now he’s continuing his good work by giving a lift to the national Thrift campaign. ARMY OF SGRDOL CHILDREN SWELL UNCLE SAM'S PURSE RY VACATIDN SAVINGS During the fii-st week of this year’s session of tlie public schools in New York city .hundreds of thousands of pupils marched pi-oudly to improvised desks of secretaries of thrift clubs and exchanged their summer savings for Thrift and War Savings Stamps. In the congested sections of the East Side of the great city the response to appeals last June by teachers was particularly gratifying. Many of the schools reported 100 per cent returns of the little Thrift banks which had been distributed through co-operation o f principals\’ of , schools with the School Bureau, Government Loan Or- gamzalioE..^ n Tn one sch-ool where practically all of the children are sons or daughters of foreign born parents there was keen rivalry in class rooms in a race to pile up the greatest amount , of money saved for investipent in War Savings Stamps. Many of the youth- ful believers in regular savings and thrift told very interesting stories re garding their ways and means for ac quiring funds for War Savings Stamps. All of them seemed to have grasped the fundamental idea of the Treasury De partment’s thrift movement through out the United States, that one should save to attain something worth while and that reticence in frittering away pennies results in amassing dollars with which more worthy things can be purchased. Photos show scenes in one of the New York schools. ' CHART FOR RECORDING DOMESTIC ACCOUNTS. MONTHS O F -'\ IT E M S F O O D R E N T H O U S E K E E P I N G .
