YAVAPAI IN THE LEAD

Yavapai county is the only
county in the State which has
reached its quota for the War
Savings Stamps. For the whole
twelve months the amount per
capita which should be raised is
$4,000, so for the first eleven
months the amount per person
in each county which should
have been invested in Thrift
Stamps is $18.18, and no county
but Yavapai has been able to re-
port such progress. Yavapai has
done even better than keep pace
with It's monthly quota for in
that banner county the entire
$40. 90, per capita is already in
vested in War Savings Stamps
with a balance of "a cents to the
good. ...
Coconino is the second best
county in the State with respect
to the purchase of Thrift Stamps.
Coconino has averaged SIS. Is
per person and so issadout So. 90
per head behind the county quota.
Greenlee is the third county in
standing in the State and Mari
copa is the fourth. Then follow
GiIa, which is almost tied with
Maricopa, Pinal, Cochise, Mo-
have, Yuma, Pima, Santa Cruz,
Graham, Navajo and Apache.
The whole State has about two
millions and a quarter still to in
vest in War Saving Stamps dur
ing the balance of the year in
order to meet the expectations
of the government officials. The
fact that some of the more large
ly populated counties in the State
have maintained a higher aver
age than some of the smaller
populated ones alone has made
possible as good a showing as is
made. All these figures are up
to November 1st.
If Arizona fails to make quota
for the Thrift Stamps it will be
the first patriotic movement in
which it has not met require
ments and all sections are get
ting busy, according to reports
at State headquarters, to avert
this catastrophe. Cochise, in par
ticular, is making a great rally
to meet it's quota with special
drives participated in by the
leading citizens of Douglas.
