BUSINESS DONE
BY POSTOFFICE
HERE DOUBLES

Some idea OF the increased business
and increases in activities in general
ID Americas may be gained by figures
compiled by POSTMASTER Davenport,
which show that postofice business in
general has practically doubled in all
departments over one year ago.
Postal receipts-which mean only
receipts from the sale stamps and
other mailing reyenue-for the quar-
terly period of July to Sept. 80. 1917,
totaled $7,535 49, Postal receipts for
the same period this year totalled $14,-
1876.
The money order department last
year did about $4,000 in business;
this year it is handling money at the
rate of about $4,000, just double.
The registry business-that is, reg
istry of outgoing packages-has doubl-
ed. A year ago this branch was doing
a little over 500 a month; today the
figures have reached about $500. while
receipts of packages is four times
greater than one year ago
Fees paid for special deliveries at
the Americas Office from July l to
sept. 20, last year, totalel $149.S4;
for the same period this year $500.
All of which shows that the Ameri-
Gus postoffice, however busy it might
have been in former times, Is a much
buster place now
And it is all being done with a
short cCrce," said Postmaster Dayen
port" short on account of the infh-
enza epidemic and the war
With that he pointed to a 9-starred
service flag hanging in the lobby of
the postofice.
That's the number of men we now
have in the service" said he. Three
more were to have gone, but the can
collation. of the draft calls saved them
for u.s.
The postofice employs a force of %
-persons-a force below that of year
ago. in spite of the increased business.
And Postmaster Davenport is proud of
his organization and the loyalty of
every member of his force
They have some trying times said
he There were times when the
work piled up, and we didn't see how
we were ever going to get through, but
loyalty and hard work always man
aged to pull Us through, and we have
been able to make out, always giving
the best service possible The public
has been considerable and there have
been few complaints. iCty and rural
carriers and office clerks have been
taken away, but those left have bucky-
ed u the task and kept the mails NOV
ing"
Souther Fields location here has
been the largest contributing cause to
the increase in postal business, al
though large part of the camp mail
is handled directly through its own
postoflce at Aries. The INCREASE in
the postage rate has added share to
the volume of transactions, and the
general stimulation of business has
contributed, according to Postmaster
Davenport.
