earnest endeavOr along the lines Of ac-
tiNity essential 10 win the war Just
how this plan shall be worked out Is

along somewhat the following line: The

appoint agents who will be authorized
90 transact the business involved In

report their prospective purchasers 20
q member Of the committee. The first
boy or girl thus reporting the pros
pective purchaser should ask the samo
TO give him or her credit for any pur-
chase. 70 would be well TO ask some
written statement that would assure 10
this FIRST AGENT" the credit toward
