JtS Hi II TNI STUMP DRIVE Activity Reported Among Attaches of Big Salt Lake Concerns. SMOOT ISSUES APPEAL Urges Utahns to Push State Over the Top in Present Campaign. War savings societies are reporting results re-sults to the war savings stamps commission commis-sion that the employees of the big corporations cor-porations who are in these societies are going over the top. Yesterday came a report from the Beneficial Life War Savings Sav-ings society of Salt Lake City, with a membership of twenty-eight, every one of the employees in the home office, showing a subscription of $3215, an average aver-age for each member of ?U4.S2. In additional addi-tional company subscribed the full rjffft of $1000, which is not included in Mhe society figures. It might be added that the members of the society subscribed sub-scribed 100 per cent to the second and third Liberty bond issues, 100 per cent to the Red Cross, and a number of the members are active in the house-to- i house canvass In the city. Since its or- . ganization, March 5, 191$, it has had the whole-hearted support of 100 per cent of ! Its members. Yesterday the state director of war savings, Georpre T. Odell. received a telegram tele-gram from Senator Smoot, in which the senator urges every citizen of Utah to aid in the war savings stamp loan. In his message, Senator Smoot says: This message is prompted by my very deep interest in the success of the' intensive war savings campaign culminating on national war savings day, June 2S. You and your co-workers are charged with a most important and patrioftc responsibility. I sincerely trust that your efforts may be so successful that the evening of June 2S shall find no citizen of Utah un-enlisted un-enlisted in this nationally important government loan.

His office is in the third class and the salary $1300 per year. This postmaster postmas-ter "has too much work to attend to" to look after the war savings stamp loan, and, through his negligence, sales of $2000 war savings stamps were lost in one day, June 12. His office is the distributing dis-tributing office for one of the counties in the state, but he "has too much to attend to" to send out supplies of stamps to offices dependent upon him for them. His reply for a request for stamps was that "it will take ten to thirty days before be-fore i can supply the office you name wpstamps. because I have too much 5attend to." The department at Washington was advised by wire of the dereliction of duty .upon the part of this slacker postmaster, vth a request for immediate action in mfcase. Churches to Aid. From the War Savings society of the western Arms and Sporting Goods company com-pany of Salt Lake City, composed of twenty-one employees, report was made o the city chairman, L. B. Hampton, and pledge cards turned in for ?77S, an average aver-age of $31 for each employee, the pledge |
