We know that they will lend every effort these last few daj^s bo sell every bond and stamp possi ble. May we make a last suggestion? Many a ball game has been lost in the ninth inning, many a race lost in the last lap, and many a prize won by that last effort. That extra effort will not be alto gether for a prize, but an act of loyalty and cooperation to our coun try and an act of pride in helping our town and county to meet its quota for July, and an act of satis faction in knowing that you haye done your best. There is a committee set ‘ip to judge the winner and decide the method of awarding the bonds. The report through July 4 is as follows: Group No. 1 has sold $6,511.65 Bonds and Stamps. Mrs. Ruth Cous ins of Sears, Roebuck company is the leading saleslady in this group. Group No. 2 has sold $867.85. Huiet Clary of Clary Clothing company, is leading salesman in this group. Group No. 3 has sold $1,295.25, Mrs. Blanche Dickert of the Newberry Insurance & Realty company is leading saleslady in this group. Group No. 4 has sold $1,575.05, Mrs. Mildred Purcell Davisof the Davis Motor company is leading saleslady in this group. All figures quoted here and in pre vious reports are for the entire group. No individual salesperson figures have been given out yet. In our final report we hope to be able to give recognition to those stores that have made an outstand ing record in this sale of war bonds and stamps.—L. C.
