Thanks County;
Urges to Buy
Stamps June %

Homer A. Miller state director of
the Iowa war savings committee. today
issued the following statement:
Our boys in the trenches must be
provided with food, clothing. guns and
ammunition. This requires money and
lots of it. That is why President Will
son proclaimed Friday, June Is, as
national war savings day. Every loyal
American is determined that our army
must have all of those essentials neces-
sary to properly equip our soldiers in
their death struggle with the Huns
hordes. It may be that for some rea-
son you have preferred bonds to war
savings stamps. 1t may be that you
have just thoughtlessly neglected to
assume your just responsibilities in
this matter. But the government re-
quires of each individual that they pur-
chase war savings stamps in accord
ance with their ability to buy. Many
have pledged $40 when they should buy
$500 to $1,000 worth. The government
needs the money. The government
must know now that each one of US
will purchase our just share. Rich and
prosperous Iowa with her thousands of
sons on the firing line can not fail the
call of our president. She will not fail.
The time is growing shorter daily.
Friday. June Is, will soon be here.
Sign your pledge now. Do it today.
Put Iowa over the top"
In a telegram to D. w. Norris, chair
man of the county war savings COM
mittee, Homer A. Miller, state director
of the campaign, thanks Marshall

lowing words:
II want to take this opportunity to
personally thank you for the splendid
showing your county has made in our
war savings campaign, Iowa has a
splendid record for the past month and
has chance to lead in June all other
states in cash sales. May l ask you to
help in every way you can to make this
possible? Let lis make June 20, frrsi :
dent Wilson's national war savings
will do this"
Friday is to be the big day. On that
day Mr.. Miller expects to be able to
make the following report to the treas
ury department at Washington:
'Iowa's quota Of 10000 900 in war saw
ings stamps has been raised in cash
sales and pledges"
Progress of the campaign in the Atty
odd counties In the state in which a
drive is being put on indicates there is
little doubt of his being able to do it.
Reports Of most optimistic nature are
coming in from all sections Of the state.
Even in counties where the quota has
been raised or lacks but a few thou
sand dollars of being raised plans are
being made for the observance of ma
tional war savings day.
In an effort to clean up The states
quota OF stamps at this time. county
and city chairmen have abandoned the
quota Of 500 per capita. Each mans
quota now Is based upon his ability to
buy. Those who are capable OF buying
the limit amount Of 81 900 will be ex-
pected to do so. They will not be let
OF with $50 or 800 pledge as they
were earlier in the campaign.
