OF Only Ninety-Nine Cents.
After three months of campaigning
IN the interest of the War Savings
Campaign, Virginians have raised less
than one-twentieth of the $4,000 per
capita sales apportioned the Common
wealth as her share. Reports filed
recently that Thos. B. McAdams, State
Director of War Savings. indicate that
the greatest activity will be necessary
during the next few months II Vir-
ginia Is to live up to her responsible
ties in this important work; for these
reports show that the per capita sales
in the State amount only to ninety
nine cents.
One of the greatest disappointments
to Richmond workers Is the fact that
the capital city ranks far down on the
list Although the largest amount OF
stamps has been sold there, the city
has the greater number of people and
the sales have in no way mounted up
as it was believed they would. How
ever, the present standing has not
tended to cause loss of heart on the
| part of the Director or to result IN
lessened efforts Comparison of his
sales with those of other cities has
| shown the absolute necessity for the
most conserted effort, and the commit
| tee has already gotten seriously to
| work to boost the sales before the
next report.

the banner for sales among both cities

fact that the earlier months of the

voted to the formation of societies
and to the organization Of other forces
for stamp sales. These now should
be n excellent shape, and It is expect.
ed Nat the sales will increase ma,
tsrlalfy during the next few months,
while additional drives and efforts will
b made In an effort to boost the sales
