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.

The coming week will be a
busy one in the big War Savings
Stamp drive, both locally and
nationally.
Malheur county’s
quota is 236,000, of which about
$20 000 has been secured, leav
ing $216,(XX) yet to raise It is
hoped that pledes for this amount
can be secured by June 28. 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.
