Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1918-06-28

For the first time. Albuquerque
citizens are "laying down on the job"
After an exhaustive campaign yes
terday, in which eight-five persons
gave almost their entire time to can
vassing, the committee In charge re-
ported that the days returns were
discouragng. The total amount of
yesterdays pledges was not known
until late hour last night when the
committee completed auditing the re-
ports of each campaigner.
Today one team will be selected
from the list of workers which will
consider nothing smaller than a 81 900
pledge. This team will canvass among
persons who are well able to pur-
chase the stamps and 1t is expected
that large number of big subscrip-
tions will be obtained.

Fourth Street school. will hold spe-
cial meeting at the school at o'clock
this afternoon, At that time a Four
minute man will give an explanatory
address and the entire proposition will
be made plain to those attending
The necessary blanks will be provided
and every opportunity given for, the
purchase of stamps.
On the principal streets yesterday
Young women sold Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps from specially
constructed booths. This feature of
the campaign was quite attractive and
materially aided in the sale of the
stamps.
Guy Rogers is in charge of the
campaign in Albuquerque.

People seem to think when they
have purchased one s5 stamp that
they have done great thing" one
worker said yesterday, "and they set
tie back in SNUG satisfaction and re-
fuse to aid further. That Is not the
spirit that is going to win the war. II
is easier, and just as justifiable, to
buy War Savings Stamps than 1t is ~
purchase $50 Liberty Bonds And yet
many who bought large sums of LIB
erty Bonds do not seem to realize this.
'Unless the people get behind this
proposition they will be paving ex-
orbitant taxes to the Huns. That is
fact. Unless we win the war Kaiser
Wilhelm and the clown prince VIII
invade this country with their savage
hordes and then we will be forced to
give and they won't pay interest on

the war unless we have the support
of every American We need supplies
for our soldiers and sailors and we
can't get them without money. And
we can't get the money unless every
person puts his shoulder to the wheel
and assists Many are buying large
amounts of stamps who are far less
able to purchase than great many
who are finding excuses for not buy"

This is the first patriotic duty on
which Albuquerque has failed the
government. And there still is time
to keep the campaign from being
failure The United States govern
ment Is the best paying investment
and the most certain to give results,
on the globe today Uncle Sam never
forgets a debt and never asks some--
thing for nothing. We |have found
some opposition to the plan among
the middle class of people, financial
ly. This is the every class of persons
for whom the Savings Stamps were
originated; in order that they might
invest and get in on the proposition,
with as small an amount as 20 cents
