Children'S Thanks
giving Crusade

According to the report given out
through the postofice and Federal
Reserve banks for the month of
October. the state of Wisconsin
stands ninth in the per capita lists of
War Saving, its percentage being
1.19, or $3,011, 568.90. In the table
of total sales for the campaign, up
to November /, Wisconsin stands
fifteenth, with 500, 1924, 163 AZ, a per
capita of 10.42. The total sales for
the United States is $3.50, 457, 1892 60,
with Nebraska leading, with per
capita of 20 62. For the month of
October, the sales were $50, 1871, 765.
90, Ohio leading, with a per capita
of 1.85.
The Children's Thanksgiving cru
SADIE, which will be on from the
morning of November %, till the
night Of December /, will add
materially to Wisconsin's report for
November and December. 1t is to
be understood that the stamps which
the children sell are not to be re-
demptions of pledges made in June,
but an entirely new sale, which is to
put Wisconsin over. the top in War
Savings as it has been over the top
in other campaigns.
1t is the desire of the government
to close up the entire issue of green
Thrift and War Savings stamps for
1918 before the campaign for the
new issue-the blue ones, with the
head of Benjamin Franklin, the
apostle of thrift, as the distinguish
ing mark, which will begin in 1919.
Be ready for the demands of the
children-they will be on the job
early Thanksgiving morning, and
they will work hard, getting up q
good appetite for the afternoons
