THAT A
PLKDUK IH SUFFICIENT IS EN.
TIRKLY , ERRONEOUS
Tho Jmpiesslon which was gen
erally obtained early In the year that
the quota for each Individual for
the War Savings Stamps was $20, Is
working a hardship on a large num
ber of the workers In tbe field In
the pledge drive being carried out
this week, many who are able to take
out large amounts confining them
selves to this nominal Investment,
under tbe belief that It is all that Is
expectea of them.
This erroneous idea should be re
moved Immediately If tho county Is
to make good the subscription ex
pected from It and everyone ahould
Invest to his fullest ability up to one
thousand dollars.
Twenty dollars per head was Ben.
tloned as '- basis Tor the amoun'tto
ie raised by tho nation but It was
not Intended that It should be fol
lowed 'as a standard for making aub
wrlptlons as tbe unequal division of
tho wealth would make this a most
infalr proposition. '
The enormous revenue streaming
Into Washington constantly from the
sale of the baby bonds Is absolutely
necessary to the carrying on of the
war and must be kept up If we are
to win. Klamath county has fallen
behind In the first six months of
the year and should now brace up
and pledge her full amount In order
to corae thrugh with flying colors.
The names of Mra. Mary L. Moore,
A. M. Collier, Dr. L. L. Truax and
Charles L. Moore have been added to
