sone get actively in the great campaign
now going on all over the country to
teach the lesson of Thrift and pro-
mote the sale of Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps among the people
they serve in their several communi-
ties. In not a single instance has a
Postmaster ignored the call of State
Director James B. Brown for such
meetings, and every meeting has been
largely attended and will be product
i've Of good results.
Postmaster Moses Kaufman, of Lex
51g5o4- who has actively co-operated
xiGc County Chairman John Skain in
MS sE5ry plan of campaign, told his
associates and employees of the Post
Office Department in Fayette county
work and that they must go to it at
all k0urs, leaving the road side mail
box 70 the rural districts to call at the
doorstep of the persons on his route
and see that they either bought War
Stamps or gave a good and sufficient
reason why they could not do so.
"Do you really think that the Amer
vyh or mir mt q
holding the line in France are holding
out Cor an eight-hour day? Alright
tLen- go to it, and give overtime to
your menaced country and sell these
stamps.
This is how Postmaster Kaufman
went at the rural mail carriers at a
meeting of the carriers, which was
called to put new ginger into the sales
81 War Savings Stamps. The rural
mail carriers, Mr. Kaufman explained,
mad fallen behind the city carriers in
. results.
Nov you men in the country should
see every man, woman and child on
yOuY route. Put the mail in the box
d Tie road, and then take the time to
drivG up TO the mans house, and in.
5;sC IN a hearing. Don't let personal
sre5uiTs bother you. Just remind your

W mat is receiving the rebuff.
Say TO the men who refuse to buy:
What right have you to stay al
