postmasters of Rock Island county

office building today. under the call
of Postmaster Simpson. who is also
president of the Illinois Associa-
ton of Postmasters. for the pur-
pose of discussing and preparing
plans for the war savings and
thrift stamp drive fixed for the
week of May 1918.
Postmasters throughout the coun-
ty it was shown, have been diligent
in their efforts to sell these stamps,
and have been successful to a great
extent, but by concerted efforts and
cooperation with the county COM
mittee, of which Carl Hallgren is
president, it is hoped to bring Rock
Islands quota up to the maximum.
Postmaster Simpson of Rock Is

county association of postmasters

the reserve trenches for orders to 90 over

They would have carried another supplv
to the front line trench where the men were
standing, too, but military officers forbade
their going up any further after the bar

a second supply to the battery positions.
"Good!" shouted one gunner as thew filled
up his mess cup with steaming coffee. "That
is all wanted. I can keep going until
morning now" They went back with more
coffee for the men in the support trenches.
AS they were emerging from communica-

into the sky, and they heard the great
shout of the men smashing through the
enemy's defences in an irresistible wave.
