APPEAL FOR MORE
WAR STAMP BUYING
LOCAL CHAIRMAN MAKES STATE
MENT ABOUT cRIsP's QUOTA.


The following Statement is given
by Mayor j. Gordon Jones, Chairman
of the War Saving Stamp Compaign:
Con account of pledge cards continu-
ing to come, it is at this time, impos-
sible to total up and get a correct
statement of The exact amount of War
Savings Samps the people of Crisp
county will pledge themselves to pur-
chase between this and December 31st
1918. The quota allotted to Crisp coun-
ty by the Government is $328,460.00
or $4,000 per capita based on the pre-
sent population of the county. The
amount of stamps purchased and
pledged for to June 29th, 1918, amounts
TO $156, 433,25 leaving yet balance of
something over $172,O0O.OO to be pur-
chased and pledged to reach the coun-
ty quota. | am looking forward to not
only reaching our quota during 1918,
but that we will go over the top. If
we reach our allotment we then will
have saved and laid aside this large
amount of money, and we are then
that much better off to live and pay
our debts than if we fail to save and
economic to this extent"
This is one Of the greatest educa-
tional moves ever inaugurated by our
Government. 1t teaches everybody to
save something, and have money
ready in case of necessity or want.
Now, ofcourse, if we fail to reach our
quota the Government will not try
to make it compulsory, we have to
sustain our Government money and
get it back with interest, than to pay
taxes, we have got one of the two to
do, that is certain Half of the people
and a large number who are able
have not pledged anything on the
stamp call Of the Government, and a
great many who have pledged made
the amount exceedingly small. If we
win this war, which we must do, the
people must make some sacrifice, we
can not live for ourselves entirely dur
ing this war"
