5oo,ooo WAR SAVERS
BEFORE FEB. i
Is Slogan Suggested at Office of the
 State Director.

Five hundred thousand war savers in Connecticut before February 1" is the slogan which has been suggested at the office of the state director of the Connecticut war savings commit tee to indicate the mark at which this state is to ai min the war savings cam- paign, now in progress.
 To assist in the plans of the state director many of the forces in the state which have made past campaigns successes have been enlisted, and al- ready success is predicted. After the 500, 600 mark is passed an attempt will be made to increase the number to at least So0,080, with the ultimate hope of enlisting a million savers. Assist ing in the project are all the forces of the Connecticut State Council of De- fense, women's organizations, schools factories, fraternal societies, and oth- CT factors.
 Connecticut's total allotment which this state is expected to raise by the sale of thrift stamps and war savings certificates by Jan. 1, 1919, is 26,000,- 900, an average of almost $25 per cap- ita. The task is tremendous one
 but those in charge predict success.
