LARGE SALE LAST WEEK

T p Ingle. chairman Of the war
savings stamp campaign for this city,
has given out some interesting hgure
in regard to what the citizens OF the
allied powers and central powers re-
ceiye as a daily income and what
! part of that income Is pe1hs spen'
in carrying on the war.
The sale on war savings stamps
and thrift stamps on March l2th
amounted to 5000 900 throughout
the country. The sale In keokuK
last week amounted to Approximately
forty-fye hundred dollars. In order
ia place the two billion dollars worth
within the year the sales throughout
the country will have to amount TO
Sc, 0OO, 900 a day. This means ina
the sales per day per capita shail
amount to three cents.
The average daily income per
capita for all the allies is AZ n
of his amount the allies are spend
ing at the rate of 81 cents per capita.
The average daily income for he
central powers is 80 cents and they
are spending so percent OF TINS
amount. The average income for the
U. S. is $1.05, Of which we are
spending 80 cents or about one-thlrd
or 2S.5 percent. -.
Nineteen hundred and eighteen VIII
he the decisive year of the war,
according to military leaders. With
the central powers spending 80 per-
cent against 56.4 for the allies it Is
to be seen that the United States
must buy more stamps and more
Liberty bonds. While Keokuk is CIV
ing its share and probably more, get
behind the stamp campaign and come
across. Don't let 1t be necessary for
the fire bell to ring before you dig
