INSURANCE COMPANY
 WILL SELL STAMPS
Metropolitan Will Relieve Letter Car riCrS of Much Extra Work Through
 Booth At Post Office.

After compiling figures in connec- ton with the War Savings Stamp campaign held a few weeks ago, when the people of the city were asked to state just how many stamps they would purchase before the end of the year, the War Savings committee finds that between 4,000 and 5000 persons have agreed to purchase their stamps through the local post office, by buying them from their mail car rier. It was found however, that the force at the post office is far too small to handle this work, in connection with the regular deliveries, and to re- lieVe the situation, the Metropolitan Life Insurance company has offered to take over this part of the work to a certain extent. It is generally known that mail carriers carry supply of stamps with them each day and that either Thrift Stamps or war SaVlngS Certificate stamps may be purchased from them at any time. rms they will continue to do. but so Tar as the recent campaign is concerned' the work of checking up the various cards, nearly 5000 in number would be too much.
 The Metropolitan company will erect q booth in the post office lobby in a few days, the measurements for it having been taken over a week ago by a local contractor. As soon as this is ready, the War Savings committee will turn cards of all persons agreeing to buy their stamps from the post of flee, to thoso in charge ot the booth, and persons who pledged to buy their stsnons in that manner are asked to eo +o +1is hooth and get them.

post office officials to have the carriers handle cards of such persons who are unable to go to the post office lobby, and attend to the checking of cards as was originally intended. When the campaign was conducted, persons were privileged to designate the place where they preferred to buy their stamps, and naturally those who had been in the habit of buying them from their mail carrier stated that they would purchase those from him also. After considering the matter it was found that the task of checking the cards would be too much for the car riers and the Metropolitan company has decided to relieve the situation. This matter affects only those who designated the mail carriers as the place of purchasing. Those who have agreed to buy their stamps at any one of the banks, or intend to go to the post office and get them, may con- tinue to do so. as those in charge of the booth will relieve the situation only so far as the carriers arc con- CCrned.

GUN SAVES SOLDIER
 FROM TWO WOUNDS
Pvt. HiliboIn Describes Trip Over tho Top in Big Drive Against
 tho Germans.

On his first trip lover the top" in the present great offensive Private Brick Hillborn of Company K, 102d United States Infantry, whose home is in Meriden but who has many friends in New Britain, narrowly escaped be- ing wounded. The hail of shot from the machine guns did not draw many casualties. He was carrying his rifle in front and two bullets struck it and another damaged his shoe. Private Hillbon writes under date of July 31:
 "A long time has passed since I wrote to you last, but really it has been impossible to find the time, the place or the paper. As you have seen by the papers we have been in the big drive for the last two or three weeks, and consequently letter writing has been impossible
 Since I last wrote l have been over the top twice and We have been pushing ahead very fast ever since we began. The first time we went over it was broad daylight, about o'clock in the afternoon. We got out in a wheat field in a skirmish line and the Roche machine guns opened up with an aW- ful hail of bullets. It didn't seem as if q fly could get through, but some how most of us got there. l was car rying my gun in front of me and it was hit twice within n few seconds and saved me from two wounds, one in the stomach and the other in the foot Talk about lucky boy! That good luck piece you gave me sure did the trick that time.

 Well, I suppose you are reading the papers about the big drive on the Germans. Right along, we gained a whole lot of ground and things were going good until the fifth night when l was asleep and another boy was be- side me, when the Germans shot over gas at us. Well, I got a touch of gas and I was sent to a hospital and be- ieVe me, l am getting along fine We certainly get some good treatment here and it won't be long before we will get back to the company.
 What does father, and the rest at home, think about the great war? Ask him how would he like to be over here ducking big shells and bullets the same as we do. I suppose he is getting along better. l wonder if Jeremiah got my letter sent him.
 Say, I would like to <now where Willie was sent. I didn't get mail from him in a long time. and not a letter even, from Alice, in quite a while. Did Connie Lynch go yet? If not give him my regards and also Mrs. Lynch.
 Well mother, I have put six months in the trenches but the month of July was the hardest month on the boys Well, of course, we had to go lover the top' and we certainly did want a crack at those Gerans. I have not much more to say but will write la ter The hospital that I am in is cer- tainIy a wonderful place and I will be all right in a few days, so best regards to all.
 From your son,
