The present campaign will close Friday night with monster mass meetings in every school dstriot In the Unltod States and Its possessions from Alaska to the Phlllppnes, and Chairman Henry Hart of the JackBon icounty district has completed ar rangements for enthusiastic meetings thruout the county. Assistant Chair man W. F. Isaacs Is in charge of the Medford district and the following solicitors who rcportod for duty this morning assure the success of the local campaign: Solicitors for City ' Ralph 'Bardwell, Myron E.

The present campaign is the result of an order from Frank A. Vanderllp national chairman of the Thrift Stamp movement and vill result in the entire thrift stamp quota of the country being raised ly next Friday night when patriotic mass meetings thruout the nation will celebrate the completion of the drive. Refusals to Ho TJsted The "clean up" campaign has been most carefully arranged and at the close of the canvass the various com mittees will have a carefully prepared record of all thrift stamp savers as well as those who have failed to en list In tho movement and the evident reason for their faluro to help the cause. Each solicitor is required to turn in either a signed pledge card to buy specified amounts of thrift stamps at given times or a yellow in dex card bearing the name of the per son solicited, the excuse given for not subscribing and the solicitor's opinin of the refusal. These cards will be' filed for future reference and euch case investigated as it may demand. Whllo It is not the deBlro to force anyone to sign up for Thrift stamps there are few people who cun not ibuy at least one fivo-dollar Thrift stamp before the first of tho your and the govornmont wants a record of ull such cases. IJmlt Club Organised In conjunction with the soliciting campaign for pledges of monthly pur chases of stamps a national move ment known as the Limit club -has been organized. Any purchaser of $1000 worth of savings certificates Is eligible to membership and is entitled to wear a special Limit club button. Fred Strlpp has heon appointed chair man .of the Limit club In Jackson county and is meeting with splendid (success in his campaign. Jackson County's original Thrift stamp quota was $258,000 of which approximately $87,000 has been rais ed and Chairman Hart and Mr. Isaacs are relying on the patriotism shown in every war fund movement of the past to 1)0 ropeated before tho close of tho present campaign. Chairman Henry HaU receiyed the following .telegram this morning: Washington, D. C, June 24, 191S. As county chairman of War sav ings you are expected to win success in June campaign just as we expect our hoys in France to win victory lu this war period. One hundred per cent Americanism for your country should mean .nothing less than one hundred per cent pledged war savors. I am confident you will succeed. F. A. Vanderllp.

You sent him to school and to play and on your little errands, and with implicit faith he did your bidding. Now we have sent your boy or your neighbor's boy out into a foreign land, into terrors that he cannot even know and his faith has not fal tered. He knows we will do our part if he does his. Pledge yourself to buy War Savings Stamps on or before National War Savings Day, June 28th. Saving to help our sons is not to be called by the ugly name of duty or sacrifice. It is love's blessed privilege. Are we keeping the faith? Are we scrimping and saving and giving to help our boys do this thing that humanity has asked of them, and to help them come back to us sane and whole? Arcjwc doing not only our bit, but all we can?
