IDAHO FALLS. Idaho, Dec. 4.—
How Idaho farmers can increase their
crops, better their roads and improve
conditions of farm life will be ex
plained at a joint conference here
January 14 to 19 next of agricultural,
live stock, engineering and irriga
tion societies of the state. The at
tendance of prominent farmers,
business and professional men is ex
pected to run into the hundreds and
speakers of national importance are
to be obtained. An effort is being
made to bring Herbert Hoover, na
tional food administrator, here for
the meetings.
The plan for the conference con
templates the sessions of the various
societies in sectional meetings in
stead of meeting separately over the
state. This will enable the seed
growers and potato growers associ-t
tions to establish one exhibit each
tor all the societies. Manufacturers
ot agricultural implements also will
have exhibits.
Speakers of prominence will ad
dress the delegates on road building,
power on the farm, federal farm loans,
special uses of potatoes, the labor
situation, transportation, rural insti
tutions. business efficiency, dry farm
tillage methods, better farms, farm
restrv and beautifying the farm.
WASHINGTON. Deo. .4— Uncle Surn
today set in motion another great
“win-the-.war" money campaign to
catch the nation's vagabond 25-re’it
pieces. It was the formal. launching
of the new $2,000,000,000- War Saving
Certificates plan.
If you have a quarter you don’t
know what to do with today—or any
day during the next year—drop into
a postoffice, or your bank, or even
some department store or railroad
! station in your town, and buv a
1 ‘ Thrift Stamp.”
Take it hor. e as a nest egg am
"watch it grow. ’ When you get 15
of them, go back to the post olfice
j and cash them in for a “War Savings
| Certificate Stamp." Then you have
something which cost you $4.12: and
i which you can cash in Civ- years
, hence—when your money has helped
i whip the Boche—for exactly 00
To help you save the Thrift Stamp
l the post office will furnish you (roe
with a "Thrift Card" hearing 16 al
luring spaces for the 25 cen* stamps.
If you want to buy a War Savings
Certificate Stamp outright, it will
cost you $4.12 during December and
January, with a penny a month edited
until the close of the offer at th.3 end
of 1918.
With the first War Savings Certifi
cate Stamp, you will be given another
i ■■ ■■■■ ■ihiim—>mim ■■ ii — »■■■ ■■ ——■
ntklng card with twenty blank*.
Phis when filled In gives you a full- J
ldged War Savings Certificate the
otal cost of which is $82.40 (wllh a
ienny a month per stamp added after
ianuary, 1918). and which is redeem
ible on January 1, 1923 for a full $10.r.
What makes this plan of lending
,-our spare change to the government
o-cn more attractive, is the 1 -ophole
iffered of getting rid of the stamps
ir certificates—at a profit if you get
n a pinch for money. \t any time,
>n ten days written noti'-c. they "ill
take in. and three per cent interest
idditlonal paid.
To emphasize it's the small cash
that's wanted, the government will
refuse to issue more than $100 worth
of stamps at one time, or allow any
one person to hold more than $1,000
worth.
le g. iter part of t'. ■ funds oh
tallied under the plan will be spent'
