OHIO ". S. S. QUOTA
OVER HALF TAKEN
Pledge Week Drive Gives State
S67,O0O,0OO Total

Columbus. Especially --Of Ohio's
1918 War Savings Stamp quota of
100000 more than $67 ,0OO, 900 was
subscribed, in cash and pledges, to
July /. This result was achieved as a
result Of observance of National War
Savings Week in this state, as
medium through which people OF Ohio
answered the appeal of the president
that none be unenlisted"
While the treasury department has
allowed Ohio all of this year to meet
its w. S. S. allotment, 1t is the aim Of
the Ohio War Savings Committee to
mop up" on its job before the October
Liberty Loan campaign.
BY reason of the War Savings Week
drive, Morrow county follows on the
heels OF Ashland county in passing its
1918 quota in cash sales. Ashland, the
first county in the nation to go on the
''honor roll" is well on it's way to
meeting its second allotment of $40 per
capita.
These counties secured pledges and
made cash sales during the weeks
campaign just closed in sufficient
amount to insure the passing OF the
yearly allotment in less than half the
time allowed Champaign. Clark,
Coshocton, Erie, Marion, Noble, High
land, Geauga, Putnam, Seneca and
Stark Many others have approxi-
mated the amount set as the goal for
this years War Savings sales.
In Cuyahoga county, cash sales In
excess of 100000 were made during
the special week, with addition of
SIS ,000,0 900 In pledges. Cincinnati and
Hamilton county secured pledges of
about $3,000,000; Franklin county.
including Columbus, pledges of 49,
500 900, and Lucas county promises to
buy of $500, 900. A million in pledges
were secured in Belmont county.
Records made by Stark and Clark
counties are the most enviable of any
In the state, considering that these
are industrial communities. Quota
for the former county was set for the
year at 81, 1,43S,l40, while its mark at
tanned In cash and pledges is $l,675,-
| 900. In Stark county, with an allot-
ment OF $2,S72,0 600. cash sales and
pledges to the first of the month
passed the $3,OO0,O00 mark.
While every county in Ohio secured
millions OF dollars in War Savings
Stamp pledges and although many
have "hit the tape" there will be no
diminution in the efforts of local
chairmen TO continue the campaigns.
Many of the counties are planning TO
follow example of Ashland county,
where cash quota of SEQ per capita
was passed several months ago. and
where the sale of W, S, S, has been
continued with such vigor that the
sales now equal about $25 for every
person.
