Something New In Stamps
Che mex, stamps which postmaster

w D. Hardwick will receive from
the government will have the nam'
"Nezperce. Idaho" printed on ihs
face.
A numper Of reasons have beer
suggested 10 explain the fact that all
the United States postage stamps fol
1907 10 be issued from the 5000
presidential pos,ofhces viii bare the
name Of the state and city in which
the posiofice is situated. Twenty
six Of the 8 900 posiothces will have
these names engraved upon their
stamps. while in the case Of the other
poslofices such as Nezperce the
names will be printed across the face
Of the stamps after they have been
engraved.
The chief reason for the change
Is said to be the belief that il will
help 10 do away with the big post
Office robberies and make !, much
easier 10 trace the criminals. The
posiofice robbery IN Chicago few
years ago Is a good example Of the
case with which stolen postage
stamps can be disposed Of. for no
trace Of the perpetrators was ever
discovered. although stamps worth
nearly a hundred thousand dollars
we're stolen, and these mostly OF
small denominations.
Bu, this is only one Of the pur-
poses the change is expected to serve,
say stamp authorities. Another is
Is to enable the postofiice department
10 determine the amount Of business
done by the different postotiices.
A great deal of complaint has
been made in the past on the ground
that certain Offices are doing
very much greater volume of busi-
,ess than they we're credited with
ioing and pos,ma,ers have had more
" less trouble in showing that they
leeded increased facilities for hand
ing their mails, as in the opinion of
be congressional committees having
he matter in charge the receipts for
he sale OF stamps did not warrant
he increase.
