STAMP SALES RECORD
Clinton, Mail Carrier Sells $4,000
Worth Of War Savings Stamps and
Still Keeps Up Record Of About
$1,000 sWee+dy-Reaehes Unsolicited
Residents.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Aug. 9.-Artrur D. BUdicA.
Clinton mail carrier. has to date sold
over $4,000 worth OF war savings
stamps entirely thru his own efforts
and is still going it at the rate of over
$1,000 week.
The feat is all the more remarkable
when it is considered that large per-
centage of his sales was made in small
amounts.
Many day, during his spare hours.
Mr.. Buudick may be found visiting the
railroad yards and shops and the in
dustrial establishments of Clinton,
selling stamps. Frequently his visits
are made with the aid of an inter
prefer. so that he has succeeded In
selling stamps to hundreds Of the alien
workingmen. Among these are Aus
TRANS. Serbians, RouTnanians, Armen-
ians, Greeks and other nationalities.
Refusing to take no. for an answer,
following a careful and systematic So
liciting and selling plan, all backed by
the conviction that he is performing
real service for Uncle Sam. are the
principal facoors in Mr.. Burdiok >
success-his friends say. When Uncle
Sam first turned over a portion Of this
task to his mail carriers, Mr. Burdicss
had no idea of making a record. but
so thorough has been his work that
his name has become automatically
linked with war savings stamps in
Clinton.
In addition to carrying on his work
on his mail route and in the local fac
tories and railroad yards. Mr.. Bnrdick
may be found any Saturday evening at
a desk near rhe entrance of one of

Every day there are calls at The
Evening Capital Office by persons who
are looking for small houses or two

have home while in Annapolis in
connection with the war work in this
city.
Surely there are quite number OF

all of the rooms are not being occu-
pied and might be turned into source
of income to the householder.
If the owners of such houses would
advertise the number of rooms avail

cupant will be glad to make use OF
the rooms and at the same time will

Or it might be possible for two
families who are now occupying two
houses to live in one house and thus
release a house for rent.

houses are. for the most part. brought
here by war work and in helping out
in this housing problem you will be

THE WAR MOTHERS
ADOPT A CREED
Maryland Branch Acts Upon
Greed" Written BY Mrs.
Richardson
ALL MAY OBTAIN COPIES

At the meeting of the War Mothers
of America, Maryland Branch. held
yesterday in Ford's Theatre, Balti-
more, "A War Mothers Creed" writ
ten by Mrs. Hester Dorcey Richard
son, was adopted and a resolution
passed recommending that a copy OF
the creed be sent to President Wilson
American mothers.
The spirit of the creed is embodied
in the opening paragraphs, as fol-
lows:
I'VE believe that the war mothers
of America should be, next to the
Christian religion. the greatest in
fiuence for good in the warning world
today.
Because it is founded on the un-
shakable rock of mother love, ii is
planted in the deeps of material sac
rifice, it is not self-seeking. 1t should
be the most actively patriotic organi-
zation in existence.
Because it is composed of the
mothers of men who have gone forth
to battle for the preservation of life's
highest ideals, men who are making
the supreme sacrifice gladly to rescue
tortured humanity and to save ciYiliza-
tion to the world"
The creed further urges all mothers
to stand behind their SONS as COM
bined moral force and to work for the
winning of the war. 1t closes with
this declaration of patriotism:
eve believe that war mothers
should be sentinels of good citizen
ship at the portals of American
homes, while their sons across seas
are suffering and dying that theil
brothers may be free in "a world
made safe for democracy"
The War Mothers Greed is to be
printed, and those who desire may OBJ

NO DANGER OF A
HARD COAL FAMINE
Cities And Counties To Be Well
Supplied - Fifteen Thousand
Tons For Annapolis Users
NO REASON TO FEAR

Annapolis is in no danger of hard
coal famine this winter. Those house
keepers who find themselves without
an ample store of hard coaf in their
cellars must divide the responsibility
between themselves and the local deal
er from whom they ordered their sup
ply, for the anthracite committee of
the Fuel Administration has made
plentiful provision for this city.
According to the figures issued yes
terday in Washington, Annapolis has
been allotted $1,000 gross tons of an
thracite coal. The Fuel Administra-
ton receives from time to time COM
plants from housekeeprs that their
orders for coal are given no attention
by their dealers, but the administra-
ton has found that on investigation,
that in many cases the local dealers
are applying ordinary principles of
business precaution in delivering coal,
and that in great majority of cases
the whole cause of the delay lies in
the record of the purchaser for slow
payment.
The operators of the anthracite
mines have co-operated successfully
with the Fuel Administration in pro-
viding an ample supply of coal, not
only for all the army camps and can
tonments and all the many necessi-
ties of the war industries, but also for
the civilian population of the country.
The committee of the anthracite oper-
ators has created a vast clerical or
ganization, whose duty is not only to
see that every legitimate demand for
coal is met, but that coal boarding is
checked. Every city and town has
been card indexed and an accurate ac-
count is on file at the committees
headquarters in Philadelphia. showing
the amount of coal delivered to every
community, and provision has been
made for the prompt correction of
every error.

RECREATION ROOM

Service Men Enjoy Its Privileges
Nightly. Many Good Things
Served There

Only one day this entire summer.
or rather only one evening, has the
Recreation Room below stairs, where
the men are served delicious sand
wiches. pies, hot coffee and ice cream,
been closed.
That was on account of not being
able to secure ice to keep the food and
to supply ice water 1t appears that
because it was stated in these coll
umns that the Recreation Room was
closed that ONE evening. some peo-
pie. who have an unfortunate habit OF
reading between the lines" have an
idea which they promulgated that it
is closed for all time. The article in
question, conveyed none such, but was
used to emphasize at the time the eff
feet no ice had upon Annapolis, even
the room where service men were
wont to regale themselves.
The room is in charge of Mrs. New
ett Steele. and is under the War Camp
Community Service, and not the Red
Cross. All reports are made 10 Mr.
w. Meade Holiday, Chairman of the
War Camp Community Service.
1t is urged that all patriotic peo-
pie make it public that the Recreation
Rooms are open nightly, and the men
