YkVAPAI COUNTY REACHES QUOTA IN
 WAR SAVING STAMPS
THAT IS ONLY SECTION OF STATE WHICH HAS GAINED DESIRED TOTAL. HOWEVER, cocoNINo SECOND BEST WITH cocHIsE STANDING FIFTH IN LIST

PHOENIX, Ariz, Nov. 26.-Yavapai county is the only county in the state which has reached quota for the war savings stamps. For the whole F months the amount per capita which should be raised is s2O. so for the first Il months the amount per person in each county which should have been invested in thrift stamps is s1S.1S and no county but Yavapai has been able to report such progress. Yavapai has done even better than keep pace with its monthly quota, for n-ithat banner county the entire S2O per capita is already invested in war savings stamps with a balance of S4 cents to the good.
 Coconino is the second best county in the state with respect to the pur- chase of thrift stamps. Coconino has averaged S15.15 per person and so is about S3 per head behind the county quota. Greenlee is the third county in standing in the state and Maricopa is the fourth. Then follows Gila, which is almost tied with Maricopa, Pinal, Cochise, Mohave, Yuma, Pima, Santa Cruz, Graham, Navajo and Apache.
 The whole state has about two mil liens and a quarter still to invest in war savings stamps during the bal ance of the year in order to meet the expectations of the government off cials. The fact that some of the most largely populated counties in the state have maintained a higher aver age than some of the more lesser pop ulated ones alone has made possible as good a showing as is made. All these figures are up to November l.
 If Arizona fails to make quota for the thrift stamps it will be the first patriotic movement in which it has not met requirements and all sections are getting busy. according to reports at state headquarters, to avert this catastrophe. Cochise, in particular, is making a great rally to meet it's quota with special drives participated in by the leading citizens of Douglas. ARIZONA WAR SAVINGS COMMIT
