PROCLAMATION
To All To Whom These Pres
ents Shall Come, Greetings.
Know ye that whereas, our
great and patriotic President,
W oodrow Wilson, through his
able Secretary-of the Treas
ury, Hon. Wm. G. McAdoo,
to meet the tremendous budget
of twenty-one billions of dol
lars confronting the people of
the United States this year,
only five billions less than the
entire expenditure of the U. S.
Government for all purposes
in the one hundred and twen
ty-six years of our eventful his
tory since 1791, has called up
on the people of the United
States to raise two billions of
dollars by the sale of War Sav
ing Certificates and Thrift
Stamps and has allotted thir
ty-five millions of this amount
to the State of Arkansas and
has placed the campaign in
this State in charge of Hon.
Moorhead Wright, of Little
Rock, and
Whereas, these War Saving
Certificates and Thrift Stamps
are in reach of every man, wo
man and child in our State,
ranging in amounts from 25c
for the Thrift Stamp to $4.14,
this month for the War Saving
Certificates, which bears inter
est at the rate of 4 1-10 per
cent and can be cashed out at
any postoffice or bank upon
ten days notice or if held until
January 1st, 1923, can be cash
ed out as $5.00 per War Sav
ings Certificate or $100.00 for
each War Savings Certificate
Card, for which the purchaser
paid only $84.50, making it
one of the most attractive pa
triotic investments yet presen
ted to the American people,
and
W7hereas, our people need
to be educated in thrift be
cause our per capita savings
of the Nation are $50.00, and
in Denmark and Norway it is
$70.00, in Sweeden it is $86.00
in Australia it is $91.00, Can
ada, $96.00 and New Zealand
$98.00, and
Whereas, the raising of the
thirty-five millions of dollars
in Arkansas will require effi
cient organization and untir
ing activities on the part of the
splendid men, women and
children interested in this cam
paign in as much as our total
savings bank deposits in the
State only aggregate four and
one-half millions, and
Whereas, a drive is now be
ing conducted for the organi
zation of War Savings compa
nies and selling stations and a
house to house canvass is be
ing made in different parts of
our state for this very com
mendable patriotic undertak
ing which is to be completed
within one year from the 1st
of January.
Therefore, I, Charles H.
Brough, Governor of the State
of Arkansas, by virtue of the
authority vested in me under
the constitution and laws of
said State, do hereby set apart
and designate Saturday,
March 23rd, 1918, as War Sav
ings Certificates and Thrift
Stamp day in Arkansas, and
urge the patriotic workers in
our state on that day to hold
rallies in all parts of the state
for the sale of these certificat
es and stamps which will be
an important factor in making
the world safe for Democracy.
I further urge the ministers
of all denominations, to preach
sermons on Sunday, March 24,
as to the value of the War Sav
ings Certificates and Thrift
Stamps, both as individual in
vestments and loans to the
Government calling attention
to the fact that a dollar hoard
ed is a slacker, a dollar wast
ed is a traitor and a dollar sav
ed is a patriot.
In testimony wherof, I have
hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the Great
Seal of the State of Arkansas,
at the Executive Chamber,
Little Rock, this the 14th day
of March, A. D. 1918.
CHAS. H. BROUGH,
Governor.

OUR SERVICE
AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU 1
YOU CAN AVOID COSTLY
BUYING MISTAKES
Instead of Buying Blindly from Pictures in a Catalogue You
Can See the Real Implement
Before You Buy
This is the best year you
ever saw to buy good imple
ments, and the worst you ever
saw to buy poor ones.
Crop prices are sure to be
high. All that you will have
to do to make big money will
be to raise big crops. And
getting big crops will depend
largely upon the kind of im
plements you use.
You can’t afford to risk any
implement uncertainty. In
ferior implements will mean
the loss of the extra bushels
and tons that the use of good
implements gives. Remember,
the extra bushels and extra
tons will mean a lot this year
—much more than enough to
pay for good implements.
See before you buy.
Be sure that an implement is
what you want before you let
it work for you. Avoid the ex
pensive delays of sending an
unsatisfactory implement back
to some distant concern and
getting in exchange another of
unknown quality.
Our service prevents costly
buying mistakes on your part.
You can come to our store—
take full advantage of our
stock, study the implements,
get fully acquainted with their
every feature, and buy judici
ously.
That way of buying will
help you get the most from the
year that is coming.
Drop in the next time you
are in town and see our stock.
