THE government is sending out to all
the postoffices, fac SMILES of the counter
felt stamps that are being put out so ex-
tensively, especially in the West, and re-
quiring the postmasters to keep close
watch, stop any letter stamped with one,
and Ego for'' the sender in hopes of trac-
ing back the source of the issue of the
stamps. The bogus stamp so closely re-
sembles the genuine one as to be hardly
distinguishable by the ordinary observer.
The only difference is that the engraved
lines are broken instead of being contin-
uous, due probably to the fact that the
to-lithograph process was used in
making it. The stamps are marketed in
sheets of five.
MUCH complaint is heard of the actions
of the hoodlum element among the
youngsters, in wantonly destroying the
flower beds that go so far to beautify the
door yards and lawns of the village. Not
only are the choice flowers taken, but
the whole plants are pulled up by the
roots and scattered broadcast. This is
purely malicious mischief and these
hoodlums, if natural regard for the
rights of others will not prevent their
mischief, the fear of visit to the Munic-
ipal Court should stop them. A little ac-
tivity on the part of those suffering from
these depredations, in bringing the cul-
prits to justice will confer benefit not
only upon themselves, but upon the
whole community. A communication
bearing upon the subject will be found
in another column.
