! Extension of the rural free delivery

1925 in the number of postofices dis
continued during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1904, according to the annual
report of ]. L. Bristow, Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General, made
public. During the year there were
2549 postoffices established, and
5787 discontinued. There was a de-
crease of 15S in the number of post
offices established. The principal
cause of the increase in discontinue

airy of postmasters aggregating $171,-
121I. At the close Of the fiscal year

Representative Ransdell called on
the president about the approaching

Shreveport, La, and to the need of
Federal assistance in killing off the
insect. The president is said to have
informed his visitor that he was alive
to the Importance of the work of the
convention, and in a general way had
referred in his message to the raw
ages of the insect and to the efforts
which had been put forth by the De-
partment of Agriculture to extermi-
nate it. He received the Louisiana
Representative very cordially, and
gave evidence of being in full SYM
pathy with the movement to enlist
congressional aid toward destroying
the weevil. No special appropriation
will, however be asked for, the mat
ter being left entirely to the discre-

sage. Stonewall Jackson's De-

The postoflice department has or
dered that the sale.of the special issue
OF Louisiana Purchase Exposition
stamps be discontinued throughout
the country in accordance with the
original plan. Beginning with the
Chicago World Is Fair in 1893 the gov
srnment has issued four sets of these
commemorative stamps in compliance
with the requests of the expositions
held at Omaha, Buffalo and st. Louis.
1t is probable, however, that the Gus
tom has now come to an end. The
elaborate designs of the special is
snes necessitates stamp of twice
the ordinary size and this has given
rise to a general complaint from bus
mess men throughout the country,
who find that the large stamps entail
considerable extra trouble in their use.
Postmasters also complain of the
stamps because of the large size of
the sheets they are obliged to handle.
For these reasons it is likely that the
expositions of the future will meet
with a rebuff when they ask for spe-
cial issues of stamps to advertise their
shows.

toxicating liquors in the territory.
They told the president that since
1882 the national and tribal govern
ments had maintained strict prohib-
itory liquor laws in the territory and
experience had confirmed the wisdom
and necessity of the prohibition. The
president promised to take the SUBJ
ject up for consideration and to use
his influence in behalf of mainte-
nance of good government in every
respect in the proposed new state.
That there may me no misunder-
standing on the subject, ssannounce-

agents of this government we're in
formed some time ago that wherever
acting in their notarial capacity they
should conform to the language of the
law and use the title employed in
their commission, for example: Con-.

however, and also because it is the

American instead of "United

agents are now acting in some nota-
rial capacity.
