SPEED UP SALES
 WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

An official report of the war say i ings sales in the United States for the
 month of April has been received from
 the Treasury department by H. R. | Tritle, state director of war savings
 for Arizona. The report places Ari-
 zona in sixth place among the states. The report also shows Nebraska lead ! ing the states in sales for April with a record of $3.49 per capita, while
 Ohio is second with S1.15 per capita. Arizona's sales show SS cents per capita, which is not very gratifying to the state chairman. Had the work CTS in the field put more punch in their efforts Arizona might have pass ed Ohio and beeH given second place in the list.
 Yavapai county leads the list of counties in sales with more than half of its allotment already sold. Mari copa county is second with about one third of its allotment reached. The campaign being from January l to December 31, and the fifth month of the year will have closed on May 31, it is shown in the report that Yavapai county is the only county in the state that has made its allotment to date. From these reports it is obvious that committees and their chairmen must put forth greater efforts the next few onths that their counties might make up their quotas.
 The people should be made to realize that we are in this war to win and that the government expects to raise $2,OOO,OOO,0OO from the sale of the war savings stamps. Gigantic though this task might seem, yet if those
 .orkers who are now inactive will ex- ert their supreme efforts in arousing the people to the needs of the govern ment every state in the Union will go over the top in this campaign.
 The results in Graham, Santa Cruz, Navajo and Apache counties are very discouraging and indicate that their committees and chairmen must at once become active or those counties will fail to do their duty to our government.
 The following table shows the allott- ments, amounts raised to date and the per capita ratios in all of the counties Of the state.
