On Saturday last week the
savings stamp receipts at the
W S.S. Bank amounted feeHQ86
0rt. and on Monday of this' week
to $1184 00. Moat of this was
payments on pledges made Fri-
day. Mrs. Browning and Mrs.
Oscar Ruth were in charge of
the bank for tne Literary and
Study Club Monday and it was a
hard day's work they did.
When the War Savings Stamp
sales were made a part of the
work of the postmasters Uncle
Sam gave his public servants iD

quite a job. In many instances
the extra wock practically
swamped the clerical force of
the local post offices. So the
government if glad to approve
of the W. S. S. Bank plan of
handling this big business.
