INDIANA FIRST STATE TO SUBSCRIBE STAMP QUOTA.

South Bend, Ind., * Feb. 11—A Washington dispatch to the head[uarters of the Indiana Thrift and Var Savings committee in this city, received today, said that Indiana was the first state in the Union to go over the top in the February campaign, having already obtained more than its quota. Members of the boys’ working reserve and the high school patriotic leagues throughout the state soon will be at work helping put across the War Savings stamp campaign and assisting in two ways to win the war with one effort. All the reserve officers, teachers, members of the boys’ working reserve and members of the high school patriotic leagues are being urged to enroll their names to a pledge, to devote a certain percentage of their earnings to the purchase of Thrift stamps and War Savings stamps. In this manner the boys and girls, who during 1918 contribute, their services toward getting in the cause or doing whatever necessary work their hands find to do will be striking two blows at the kaiser, the persons directing their activities say.
