WE SEND S0NS"
 MOTHER VERSION

"To us mothers those letters mean We Send Sons said a grayhaired woman as she gazed on the notices on the walls of the War Savings commit tee headquarters in the city hall build ing yesterday afternoon. w. $. $. cards and posters were in evidence in every part of the big room.
 T am here to do a little more of my bit in buying thrift stamps. but somehow I can't help feeling that a mother who has sent two sons to France has in no small measure an- swered the call of her country.
 Those letters may mean War Saw ing Stamps or War Savings Ser vice." but to me they mean just what I have done and they must mean that to a host of. other mothers who have sent sons into the service of their country"
 While various cities and towns of Arizona are planning and observing Thrift Drive days. State Director Harry Tritle of the Arizona War Say ings committee is endeavoring to in- culcate in the minds of all the workers the necessity of making these single
 
 ergetic work looking to the organiza tion of War Savings societies. He is pointing out that while a Thrift Day results in bringing in an unusual amount of money for that day. the War Savings societies bring about pledges for various amounts payable in weekly or monthly installments that in tho aggregate amount to a great deal more than any single day drive.
 Director Tritle is now in Douglas having swung around from Globe ant Miami, by the way of Clifton and Bis. bee He is meeting the workers wher. ever he goes and is preaching the doc. Urine of War Savings societies and in. cidentally otherwise directing the ac. tivities of the county organizations He reports that the citizens of Arizona are just beginning to awaken to tn, necessity of concerted and continuou. work in order to make a success of tn, Arizona War Savings campaign.
