wealth as her share. Reports fled
recently that Thos. B. McAdams, State
Director of War Savings, indicate that
the greatest activity will be necessary
during the next few months If Vir-
ginia Is to live up to her responsiDlll-
ties in this important work; for these
reports show that the per capita sales
in the State amount only to ninety
nine cents.
One of the greatest disapDointments
to Richmond workers is the fact that
he capital city ranks far down on the
list. Although the largest amount OF
stamps has been scId there, the city
has the greater number of people ano
the sales have in no way mounted UP
IS it was believed they would How
ever, the present standing has NOT
tended to cause loss of heart on the
part of the Director or to result IL
lessened efforts. Comparison OF MS
sales with those Of other cities has
shown the absolute necessity for the
most conserted effort, and the commit
tee has already gotten seriously to
work to boost the sales before the
next report.
The Radford Committee has won
the banner for sales among both cities
and counties with per capita sales Of
$3.50, other cities rank as follows:

that stamps to the value of $2,219,-
00O.25 have been sold among the
States population Of 2,254,137, or a
per capita sale of SO cents.
Director McAdams recognizes the
fact that the earlier months of the
campaign necessarily have been de-
voted to the formation Of societies
and to the organization of other forces
for stamp, sales. These now should
be in excellent shape, and 1t Is expect
ed that the sales will increase ma
terially during the next few months,
while additional drives and efforts will
be made in an effort to boost the sales
among the weaker communities.
