BOND DRIVE SEEMS
To help v. 5. 5. SALE

Very little effect has been made
upon the war savings stamp results
by the purchase of the third liberty
bonds. 1t has been generally felt
by those close to the situation, that
the one compaign helps the other.
Reports from the various gov
crnment departments show the in
terest to be at the highest. The
employees of the Treasury Depart
ment have purchased a total in
stamps of $5S,670. During the week
ending April 20. the sales amounted
to $2.S11.
Although the Navy Department is
far behind its sister. the Navy Yard.
the sales are growing steadily. The
sales in the Navy Department up to
and including April 20. totaled
$31,447, a gain during the week of
$l,623.
Inquiries from the various de-
partments asking for the results
from their rivals have brought out
that the State Department sales
during the week of April 20. totaled
only $41.20.

This represents the work reported by 76 of the home service sections during the month. This does not begin to repre- sent the full total of what home service sections have done for families of enlisted men in tsis section. There were on the last day of July 27S sections organized Two hundred and two of these sections made no report whatever on the work they had done. It is hardly possible to believe, that in a02 communities, having jurisdiction over territory from which thousands of men have been called into service, there were no calls made upon them.
 The percentage Of organization of home service in proportion to the number of chapters is as follows at this time: Ala bama s6, Mississippi aS and Louisiana 100
