Erroneous Statement Arouses W rath Some of our local War Savings Stamps sellers were considerably vexed, not to say peeved, last week when the Journal published the official r-port of the sale of Stamps for May as sub mitted by ths head office at Onosrio. It appeared to the Nysssites that some body was trying to hand them a great big juicy lemon and bad the culprit bean within reach when Postmistress Elizabeth Thompson read the report we would not like to be answerable for the consequences. The report credited Nysea with having sold five W S S and fifteen Thrift Stamps during May. whereat the records show that at least 126 War Stamps and 833 Thrift Stamps were sold during that month. We un derstand the guity party has acknowl edged his mistake and will submit a corrected report in due time. OWYHEE (BY OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT) .

It is not the purpose to collect it all in cash at this time, but pay ments can be made up to the end of the present year, giving full six months to complete payments Soliciting committees will be at work until the drive is over on June 28, and every man, wo- mon and child will be persoally asked to contribute to this cause and those who refuse will be re quired to give a reason, which reason will be turned over to the proper authorities for investi gation. There are very few peo ple who cannot buy stamps in some amount under the payment system, and those who refuse to do so will invite suspicion as to their loyalty. Apple Valley.
