Chairman O'Brein Makes
Appeal To People TO Buy
On PershiDg Day
ONLY24 DISTRICTS
ARE OVER THE TOP
"FaiIure To Buy Quota Will Be
Humiliating," "Chairman
Tells People.

Fifty-six school districts in Cap
Girardeau have failed to reach thei
quota in the sale of War Saving
Stamps, according to William A
O'Brien, chairman of the campaign
committee in this county. Twenty
four districts have gone over the top
and the Government is very anxiou:
that the people of Cape Girardeal
come up to expectations.
Next Monday has been set aside il
Missouri as "Pershing Day." named
in honor of General Pershing, the
famous Missourian who is now lead.
ing the American troops in France
A supreme effort will be made by the
War Savings Committee to bring
Cape Girardeau up to its quota.
Chairman O'Brien's statement is
sued last night follows:
Mr.. Festus J. Wade, the state dir
ector for the War Savings Stamp
Campaign, desires to utilize Monday
August 26, Pershing Day, for the
purpose of stimulating the sale of
War Saving Stamps and, if possible,
put the state "over the top"
"This is particularly pertinent in
Cape Girardeau County as, of the
eighty school districts, there are, to
date, but twenty-four that have sold
their quota; which is not very pro-
missing showing, and, while we are not
in position to give any definite
statement rs to the total sales, owing
to some confusion in the: records, be-
cause of Mr.. Neely's death, we know,
however, that to put this county in
the 1000 column will red duire the I'M
stinted support and cooperation of
each one in the county.
On June 81 a meeting was held at
Jackson and was attended by all of
the men assigned as managers of the
campaign in each school district. At
that time these managers pledged
themselves individually to sell the
quota allotted to their district and it
is expected of each one that he will
make good that pledge. 1t must be
done.
"The records at hand indicate that
the City of Cape Girardeau has come
nearer reaching its qouta than the re-
mainder of the county.
"Cards have been sent to the mana
gers of sales in each school district
with instructions to organize their
teams and make a thorough canvass
of the districts.
at wild be extremely humiliating to
each and all of the citizens of this
county should we fail to meet our
quota and thus be delinquent in sup
porting our government in the prose
cution of war;

failed to seN their qouta:
