June 6 Is Opening Day for Min
nesota Pledge Week for
Their Purchase.
''GOING OVER THE. Top
Director Culver Confident That Loyal.
~ Of People VIII Bring oversub-
seription Of States Quota Of
$47, ooo, 900.

Director D. 8. Culver OF the Mime
sofa War Savings Committee today
set aside the week starting June
9Th and ending on June 18th,
Minnesota pledge week
Tor the purchase OF war savings
stamps. In making the announce
ment, he evinced confidence that the
loyalty Of people in this state will be
manifested by pledging themselves to
make purchases during the balance
of this year which will result in over
subscribing the states quota of SAT-
900, 900.
All county chairmen are now pre-
pairing for the drive that will soon
start. In messages sent from state
headquarters in the Metropolitan
bank building, Minneapolis, a few
days ago, sub-chairmen were asked
the probabilities of their respective
counties "going over the top" in the
coming drive. Practically all replied
that they expected to exceed the
amounts allotted--to their counties.
During Pledge week all citizens in
Minnesota will be asked to pledge the
purchase of War Savings Stamps dur
ing the balance of 1918 on a minimum
basis Of $40 per CAPITA" said Mr..
Culver today. This does not mean
that each is to be asked for cash sub
scriptions. Minnesota must raise her
$47,000,000 quota during the year and
the present amount, something less
than $4,0OO.OoO. does not make a very
good showing.
$50 optimistic are reports coming
IN from the various county chairmen
that it has convinced us great ma
1ority Of counties will not only secure
pledges for their required quotas, but
will quite likely exceed their allot-
ments."
County chairmen are already add
paign committees with the expecta-
ton of making hundred per cent
showing during the big thrift stamp
drive. Several recently have visited
headquarters here in an effort to de-
rive new ideas and straighten out
minor details SO the work during June
will go along Without single hitch.
Vice Director ]. H. Meyering, head
ing the sales forces, said the purpose
of the campaign is not solely to ask
immediate cash purchases. On the
contrary, he explained. the pledges to
be made during the week from
June 6 to IS, are for w. s. S. pur-
chases throughout the year. These
will probably be on monthly basis
to extend through the coming months
In equal portions.
ssThe purpose of the government in
inaugurating its War Savings Stamps
sales is to encourage thrift said Mr..
Meyering. "That means that citizens
can save from unnecessary expendi-
lures enough money to buy their
quota Of savings stamps II all do
that the campaign in Minnesota will
be q great success"
