Makes 1000 Sale.

Incidentally E. Bridwell is one of
the first carriers in the present con-
test to make sale of the one-thou-
sand-dollar maximum number of war
stamps one individual may legally
hold.
In section Kidwell still leads. al
though he failed to register a single
sale yesterday. G. T. Ellis, Mount
Pleasant carrier, however, gave evil
dence of some little activity. and
jumped from fifth to second place,
notwithstanding consistent gains over
the preceding day by Gerard. Comp
ton and Main. c. A. FarQuhar, an
other man from that territory and one
who has not heretofore figured in the
contest, made sales totaling $505 dur
ing the day and clearly established
his right to sixth position.
While Coles upset of Turner in sec
ton 3 overshadowed the interest
among the men in the outlying dis
tricts, the other contestants gave evil
dence of consistently good work. Par
ficularly noticeable is the appearance
of c. F. Hengesbach, a newcomer, who
enters the contest with s27475 as
steppingstone toward a prize. The
stations reported particularly heavy
sales. Takoma Park leading with

and Georgetown bringing up the rear,
with S157.65.
The total for the day was s5,51S.90,
making the grand total $25,637.22.

With three more days remaining the
washington letter carriers war saw
inss stamp selling contest, for which
thirty-four cash prizes, totaling $1,000,
were donated by Berberich's Sons, is be-
coming exciting. With visions of ex-
ira Christmas money strongly before
them the more than 800 members OF
Postmaster Chances carrier force
are striving hard to boost their Sales
hoping they will secure one of the
prizes.
S. r. Ashford, who has been running
a neck-and-neck race with H. c. Rich
ter since the starting of the contest
on December last, succeeded in
crowding the latter out of first place
in section 1 yesterday, and today is
setting the pace with sales amounting
to S3,2s2 to his credit. His lead over
Richter, who is in second place, is
$500. H. A. Clark. who has held tightly
to third place since the first day OF
the competition, is being hard pressed
by e. BridweH. The latter has been
speeding up, and today he is only
nose behind Clark.

Cole Leaps to Fame.

Another feature of yesterdays sales
results was the leap to fame by
Irving Cole in section 3. This sales
man of Takoma Park had been bare

test, and his passing of Joe Turner
yesterday came as a great surprise.

will be forced to extend himself to
