WAR SAVINGS SALE
 FAR BELOW QUOTA.
Last Week Was Smallest Since the
 Campaign Opened.

That the sale Of war savings certin- cates and thrift stamps at the local postoffice is not meeting with the sue cess anticipated is the statement made by Postmaster John P. Murphy. The statement is as follows:
 The sale of war savings certificates and thrift stamps in the local post office last week was the lowest since the campaign opened. The sales last week did not average $100 a day and as $1000 is the quota for Norwich 1t is evident that the appeal from the nation for funds is not meeting with patriotic response. If this sentiment exists in other localities, the winning of the war is not in sight. There gre at least 500 young men frem this town who have enlisted in the various branches of our army and navy and they are ready to sacrifice their lives for the principles this war is waged. tCertainly the least the people at home can do is to lend the government a 1 portion of their earanings so that they may be able to provide and furnish to these brave young men the necessary l food, clothing and munitions to en able them to accomplish that which | they enlisted for. the winning of the
 war. There are too many who do moi | take tf1fS matter Ger1OuS ana console
 themselves by saying Let the other fellow do it." Everyone can help and lit Is pointed out from time to time
 what is required. At this particular
 time it is to purchase war certificates and thrift stamps. Invest according tl tyour means and continue doing so reg. ularly. Failure to do this on the par
 Of all who can afford to do so is {
 proof of lack of patriotism. They ar,
