While Virginia is holding her own
among other states in the matter o.
the number of Thrift Stamps ami
War Savings Stamps bought by It's
citizens, Director Thomas B. Ne
Adams, in charge of the Campaign
in the Old Dominion, is determined
to forge into the lead and no stone
will be left unturned to see that
Virginia more than eN.eeds its allot-

Toward this end Director Nc
Adams has called upon all county
and city directors to file with him at

of stamps sold by first and second
class agents in their respective conf
munities. He has requested each to
obtain statements as of February
10th, so that he will have last
minute information as to just what
Virginia has done in the way OF
standing behind Uncle Sam in his
battle for democracy and the sup
preston of Prussianism.
As soon as he ascertains the COZ
rect figures. Director McAdams will
be in position to judge what fur
