s. S. Comittee for st. Francois county,

To the Citizens of st. Francois Coun-
ty:
The undersigned have been duly ap-
pointed, in compliance with a resol-
ution adopted at mass meeting of the
people of the county held in the city of
Pennington on August the 9th, as
committee to assist in making good
our county's quota in the sale of War
Savings Stamps.
In accepting this trust we appeal to
our fellow citizens that the time has
arrived in the prosecution of the war
for the liberty of the whole world,
when all loyal and patriotic citizens
must do their whole duty. Get readyl
Think! Think of the valor and sac
rifice of the noble American boys,
near two thousand of whom are from
st. Francois county, who are fighting
suffering and dying in defence of your
liberties! And open your heart and
purse to them. Look to the battle
front where the precions blood of our
own heroic sons is sinking into the sa-
cred soil of France mingled with that
Of other free men who are offering
their lives for the honor and hap
piness of future generations. Ask
yourself and answer to yourself this
question: "Am I, four thousend miles
away from the battle front, where the
streams run red with the blood of our
boys, doing my whole duty?" The an
swer is in the return of the sale of
War Saving Stamps. YOU ARE
NOT, unless you have taken the lin
it of $1,000 or unless you have made
personal sacrifice to pay for what you
now hold. Is
In the discharge of our duty we
want the assistance of every person
in the county, and in prosecuting our
labors we earnestly, yet respectfully,
ask those who have not done their
whole duty to do it, and those who
are able and have done nothing are
asked to do their part. Our plan of
action will be to appoint sub-commit-
tees, who will from various sources
obtain information as to the ability
of their citizens to purchase Stamps,
and of the amount purchased by
them and allot to individuals in the
county the amount they ought to sub
scribe for. After the allotment has
been made cach individual will be in
formed of the amount they are ex-
pected to take and will be asked to
subscribe upon card that will be
furnished them. If it is shown that
any allotment is not equitable and
just, it viii be corrected as warranted
by the facts. The following board of
appeals are appointed to hear all
claims of excessive apportionments.

The honor of st. Francois county
and the pressing need of our Govern
ment for funds to win the war demand
that our quota of War Savings Stamps
be taken as soon as possible.
