CARPENTER TOWNSHIP IS OVER THE TOP ON W. S. S.

One year ago the apportionment was made for the sale of War Savings Stamps, the $5 kind, throughout the United States of S2O per capita, including men, women and children. A full year was allowed in which to make these sales, and it is with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that we are able to announce that the township of Carpenter has, as usual, done herself proud and reached the full quota within the year, and not only so, but has gone over the quota by about SIOO. Postmaster O’Riley gives us the figures on these sales which -ended on December 31st, when he returned to the department all stamps of the 1918 series he had on hand. A new series will be issued to take care of the 1919 buyers of stamps. There are in Carpenter township 1,970 people and there have ibeen sold 7,904 W. S. 5., ( amounting in all to $39,520. -All this business went through the local post office, though the bank working in connection therewith make a part of the sales. People of Carpenter can always be depended upon to do their full share on any worthy service that may be put onto them. They are to be congratulated on this spirit and especially where such a vast sum of money was collected in such little dribs. Postmaster O’Riley also comes in for the heartiest of congratulations for his untiring efforts in getting the township over the top. He was the chairman of the War Savings Stamps Committee. —Remington Press.
