BRIDGEPORT IS
 BEHIND QUOTA
 IN WAR STAMPS

The sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps in Bridgeport now amounts to more than $460,0O0, and before the end of next week the half million mark will probably be reached. Dur ing the month of April, Bridgeport sales reached a total of sS@00O, which is about one-third as much as this city will have to raise monthly in or der to complete it's quota of $3,O0O,- 900.
 Sales in the United States during the month of April amounted to about $6O, 100000, but this is far short of the quota of $166,O0O, 900 which will have to be raised by the entire coun- try every month if the $2,O00, 900, 900 mark is reached.
 Connecticut is leading all of the New England states in the sale of War Savings Stamps, and Bridgeport is the first city of the state in this work. Nebraska is heading the en- tire country in the sale of stamps.
 With the Bridgeport sales now above $3 per capita, the local general committee is working hard to bring the sales up to their full quota $250,- poo for the month of May
 To date, the total of Thrift and War Savings Stamps in the state is $3,333,216.21. The figures for Bridge port to date are $463,754.63.
