SALE OF WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Sullivan township Leads In Matter
OF Individual Subscriptions.

| am in receipt of a letter from
Hon. E. NJ. Rowe OF Little Rock, d.
rector of War Savings Stamps sales
for Arkansas, asking me to appoint
a committee of ladies in each town
in the county TO help push the sale
Of War Savings Stamps and Certif-
icates. Not being able to designate
such a committee in the respective
townships and by authority OF tie
War Department, | take the privi-
leee to designate three ladies for
the Southern District, towit, Mes
danes O. C. Shaver and J. H. krt-
ley of Evening Shade and Mrs. JEFF
fe Sullivan Of Poughkeepsie as one
General committee, and ask them to
select two, three or more patriotic
ladies, young or old, married OF
single, who are willing to help the
BOYS win the war and return limb
whole and heart-free, to organize d
society in each town and commnn-
Ity to push the work.
On individual purchases and sub
scrip;ions the grand old patriotic
township of Sullivan is ahead. She
has subscribed for, and paid for
mostly, over $4,000 worth of stamps
and certificates. Hardy township
comes next, with Richwoods third.
Jackson is ahead on bond sales and
fourth on thrift stamps. | am
anxious to see how it will stand at
the end of this month. The chair
mon of the committee at Ash Flat
tells me that they expect to sell
$4,000 in Richwoods township be-
fore the close of the campaign.
would like to see what other town
ship in the county can keep up

lows: SIS stamp for $4.l4, SIS
stamp for $2O7O, $50 stamp for
S41.4O, $1OO stamp for $82.S0, $1,000

are not taxable, and if the holder
has to have his money back he can
cash them in with interest. hope
all the township committeeman
will get busy and make as. big q
showing this month as possible.
Judge Carroll Of Salem told me
when was there and addressed a
meeting that Fulton county would
