cussed at length at meeting of the

w. A. Bell. of New Orleans, di-
yis;onal director of division No. z,
comprising the thirteen country par
ishes embraced in the New Orleans
district, was in attendance and
thoroughly explained the plan Of ac-
ton, carefully reviewing the work
to be done by the different commit
tees and directors and offering many
valuable suggestions The vital i'm
nortance of the undertaking was
emphasized by Mr.. Bell, and he in
:pired each of his hearers with a
determination to do his utmost In
behalf of the cause and to spare no
effort toward putting Ascension over
the top.
Another meeting will be held in
the high school building next Monday
forenoon, when committees from the
various wards will submit lists OF the
respective families and individuals in
their communities, together with es-
Inmates of the amount Of stamps each

Sus figures of 1910. Each white man,
woman and child in the parish is ex-
neeted. by Jan. /, 1919, to own not
| less than $40 worth Of war savings
stamps. Each eolored man, woman
| and child is expected to own not less
| han SIS worth of stamps by the same an1l
time.
| In computing the value Of these
certificates, the maturity value IS
used. A war savings certificate may
be purchased for SILT in June, and
for an additional cent for each month
thereafter, yet each certificate IS
counted at SIS in this drive.
The PLEDGE is not required to pur-
chase al Of his stamps at this time,
He merely obligates himself to pur-
chase a certain amount between now
and January /. 1919. An accurate
record is to be keptSof all pledges and
