BURLEIGH HAS © Rte LEAD Through Falling Off in Sep- r tember Buying. ae In per capita War Savings Stamp purchases, Burleigh county in Septem- per slipped from third place, attained inAugust, to eighth position in ‘North Dakota. The highest rank in the state is held-by Sargent county, which-has bought $122,527 wotth of stamps, a percapita investment of $12.70. Sar- gent also has first rank in september purchases, which totaled $44,135, or $4.56 per capita. Griggs’ county, which has -bought $73,339 worth of stamps, of $11.16 per capita, ranks sec- ond, and Cass, which has taken $392,- 754 Worth of stickers, or $.71 per cap- ita, is in third place. 7 ‘ Burleigh county’s total per capita in- yestment is $8.61, the county owhing $121,935 worth of stamps. Of this amount but $14369, or approximately $10.4 per capita, was subscribed in Septemder. ‘This falling off in Sep- tember is due to some extent to prep arations for the Fourth Liberty loan drive, which thi /county confined to ‘ ot one day. Local committees hope-that October subscriptions may restore “3 Burleigh county to'a_ place negrer the hy top.’ 4 North Dakota now owns $3,99%246 worth of stamps,'a per capita of $6.28. The state as a whole bought $876,159 worth of stamps, or $1.38 per capita in September. ‘North-Dakota’s_quota which must be reached before January 1, 1919, is more jthan $19,000,000, and the state has a long way bo go if it is to make good on its contract. » RICHLAND PLANS: "BIG MEETINGS IN -HONOR OF DOYLE!
