ON The Lee c= a e5 ST..
Several oR.c ais Didnt Know Wha
They ire offended for.

II you came into possession OF five
dollar postage stamp what would YOU
do with it? he five dollar stamp Is
the highest denomination the govern
ment manufactures They are on sale
at all flrst-class post Offices, says the
Kansas City Sta.
Harry Harris, treasurer Of the post
Office, was exhibiting bundle of them
which had been received recently.
Very pretty" said the visitor. But
what are they used for?"
why, postage, of course-no--wait
a minute"
Mr.. Harris pondered.
"The weight limit on first-class pos
tage, which is the most costly, is four
pounds" he said AT the established
rate Of two cents an ounce four
pound package would require only
1928 in stamps. Couldn't use the FIVE
dollar stamp there, could you?
1T might be used an third-class mat
ter where the rate is one cent for
each two ounces The limit Of weight
on this class is four pounds except 1t
be in the case Of single book"
Mr.. Harris did some figuring and as
certained that the book would have to-
weigh something like GO pounds In
order to use the fve-dollar stamp.
But, Of course, anybody would send
the book by express for SO cents" he
reflected. "Darned IL know what
they use 'em for. Ask Reilly"
Mont Reilly, assistant postmaster
was puzzled and he checked UP the
question to Joseph Harris, the post
master. The P. M. wouldn't even
hazard a guess, except that they were
used in the post office when the regu-
lations called for large cancellation
OF postage to cover matter sent out
under the second-class rates.
A five-dollar stamp, he admitted,
couldn't be exchanged for cash Or for
stamps OF smaller denomination. Then
Mr.. Harris summoned Al. F.. Meadcrs
chief clerk Of the stamp division.
1--WE sell about 100 Of them each
year for use as postage on first-class
matter, mailed to foreign countries"
said Mr.. Meador. THE foreign rate
Is double that applying to domestic
matter. The stamps are purchased
principally by corporations having
stockholders abroad Reports printed
IA book form are mailed as first-class
matter to these stockholders"
