 That vas the quiz question before the fans in the American league race today, but there wasn't sui. fieient evidence to indicate that it could be answered in the affirmative. sun in fourth place, four and a half games behind the leading St. Louis Browns, they have in their favor the fact that they are playing the best brand Of baseball In the league and that they may be able to muster full strength soon for that final drive.

Continue To Top Overall
Quota, But E Bond Sale
Lays As Drive Nears End
Jackson County 100000 Behind e" Bond
Quota With Few Dogs Remaining; Tops
Overall Quota BY More Thun 100000.

Jackson County slowly in
creased its overall quota for the
5th War Loan Drive, but Jagged
badly in the sale of "E" Bonds,
reports tabulated this week
showed.
With the drive scheduled to Of
ficially end Saturday, figures
Wednesday of this week showed
total War Bond sales of $1,403,-
1875, or slightly more than $780,
600 over the county's overall quo
ia of $1,295, 900.
Total sale of "E" Bonds was
$463, 1886, or approximately $780,
900 behind the county's "E" Bond
quota of $663,000.
Figures showed that the sales
in the 5th War Loan were lag
ging behind the sales during the
same period for the 4th War Loan,
despite the invasion of Europe
by American and Allied forces.
"One of the most important
phases of the 5th War Loan Drive,
and all other War Loan Drives. is
to meet the "E" Bond quota"
w. B. Herring, county war finance
chairman, said. "Our govern
ment emphasizes the sale of this
type of bond as one of the most
direct controls of inflationary
tendencies.
1--WE have only a limited time
left to reach our quota" he added.
IF every citizen of Jackson coun-
ty will make the necessary sac
rifice, we can meet and pass it."
One of the few complete reports
from outlying sections came from
the St Martin school district,
which, with a quota of $4,000,
showed total sales of $2,812.50, of
which $2,512.50 was "E" bonds.
With the time remaining it was
believed that the district will go
well over its quota.
Meanwhile, nearly complete re-
ports r expected for next week
and, with unreported sales from
outlying and rural districts, the
overall picture of the sales was
expected to be better.
