Wilson and Governor Lindsey, Mayor
n +. Hamilton has given the citys
official sanction to June 2sth as War
Savings Day and in proclamation
calls upon Deming to devote the after
noon Of that day to the purchase,
pledges to purchase ana promotion Of
the sales Of War Savings and Thrift
Stnmps.
At a meeting called yesterday at
The Deming club by y. L. Nordhaus,
the new W. S. s. chairman for this
county, an organization was effected
for drive that Is intended TO se-
cure pledges for the county's quota
Of $4,000 before the 28th II possible.
Forbes Parkhill was elected secre-
iary, and committee Of 100 workers
was decided on, % Of whom volun-
! IIeered for service before the meeting
was over Each Of the 100 will pledge
himself for 800 Of the quota per-
sonally and undertake to dispose of
1900 more, so that II all succeed the
least sum that can be raised will be
an even 100000, or $4,000 over the
quota. This is not taking into ac-
count the money already raised in this
county, which is no inc0nsiderable
sum, although raised principally BY
sales to children. Derhings school
children, for instance, already own
something more than $4,000 worth Of
the stamps, and are still buying, hav-
ing their eye on a national prize Of
ferod at the close Of the year.
The twenty-three who volunteered
Ter membership Of whnt might be
called the ''ihOusand-dollar commit
tee" since each is supposed to dis
pose Of that sum in stamps, were !;
R. W. Davis, r. Z. Connolly, A. A..
Tempkt, J. A. Mahoney, A. Lamantia,
W. E. Holt H. C. Brown, james
Moore, Howard NJ. Connolly, Ben
Cohn, \. r. Vallandingham, Miles II.

vain, Albert Field. OF these, Lester,
Deckeri & Ehfson and r. C. Hoffman
subscribed for the full thousand on
the spot.
The other N members of the com
mittee will be appointed by Mr.. Nord-
haus, and the whole bunch is expect
cd to be at work by the first Of next
week. The committee, or a part Of
it, will visit Columbus one day next
week to assign that town part Of
the county's quota and get the work
started there. Columbus responded
nobly to the call for the Liberty Loan
and the Red Cross subscription aud
can be depended upon for her part
again without question
The stamps can now be bought at
almost every business establishment
IN Deming, as we'll as at the post
office, from The committee headed BY
Mr.. NoFdhuus, and from the various
other workers who win shortly be
securing the city for sales.
A point that all the salesmen, great
and small, win emphasize, is that the
stamps are not, as many have sup
posed, intended primarily for tlwT
children, merely because they are NJ
small denomination. Uncle Sam(
plainly could not expect to rnise s2,-
100000 among the children. This
quota figures out twenty dollars for
every man, woman and child in the
nation, and the big buyers mst make
up for the inevitable smaller ones and
olso for Che slackers, Of whom there
will Of course be plenty there al
ways are. One lhonsand dollars, how
ever, IS all that one person win be al
lowed to own IL stamps, for The idea
Nc Che government in issuing them is
10 give AZ down to the very smallest
and poorest, a chance " help carry
The burden Of war.
The stamps are ns good an invest
meni as the Liberty Bonds-belter, IN
fact, for on very short notice they
can be cashed al full value lai any
time desired. You DO not even lose
the interest BY such action.
All the stores carrying the stamps
have for some time been urging their
customers TO take them IN change
on cash purchases, and on increasing
number Of people are acquiring this
habii Since the issue Of the Graphic
