We were visited WITH severe rain
and wind storm. The rain poured
in torrents, and the flashes of light

rain was much needed by the farm.

for, but it answered every purpose.

To the Public,

Don't forget to stamp your letters with
three.cent stamp If you would have
them go to their destination. Some DAYS
half dozen to dozen letters are droDped
into the Austin office without stamps, and
if there is 20 printed return on the envel.
opes, they are Immediately sent to the
dead letter office
Remember, too, that newspapers require
one cent for every two ounces, or fraction
over. A Pioneer Press, Minneapolis
Tribune, or any Chicago paper, will
almost always weigh over two ounces,
and therefore should be prepaid with a
a two-cent stamp. Generally the local
papers only can be sent for one cent.
Papers, not fully paid, will not be started
on their journey, but thrown with the
waste papers.
Business men should remember another
thing. They should weigh all heavy
letters and stamp them fully. The p. O.
Department is very strict IN this matter,
ard if you do not pay the deficient post.
age your correspondent will have to.
The right way would seem for each per.
son TO pay his own postage. At any rate
the government will not be cheated on,
of it. At one end or tn other of the line
all deficiencies have to be met, and if the
postmaster does not rate up the full post.
