An Poi was taken around during the
afternoon TO several other shops about

he was recognized as a man who had
made any recent attempts to dispose Of
any goods. The recovery of these two
watches. which have been identified by
Mr.. Hafner as a part of his missing

POSTAGE
STAMP SOON TO BE ISSUED

Five millions of the international
postage stamp authorized by the con-
gress of the Universal Postal Union
at Rome last year will be issued next
month and will be on sale in the
United States thereafter.
The stamp was designed by NJ.
Eugene Grasset of Paris, and is be-
ing printed in Switzerland.
The stamp is really a coupon, meas
uring nearly four by three inches.
The vignet represents the figure of a
goddess as a messenger of peace from
one hemisphere to another.
The coupon may be exchanged for
a regular five cent stamp or one of
equivalent value in any Of the coun-
tries that have accepted the agree
ment This will allow any one writ
ing to a foreign country to enclose
stamp for return postage There Is
no doubt that it will also be used in
a small way as an International money
order.
The countries that have entered into
the agreement are: The United States.
Great Britain, France, Austria, Ger
many, Belgium, Spain. British colon
les, French colonies. Egypt, Mexico.
Bosnia-Herzegovina Sweden, Switzer-
land, Roumania, Japan, Siam. Korea,
Greece. Italy, Chile, Costa Rica, Crete,
Denmark, Luxembourg and Norway.

DIFFICULTY IN GETTING
POST OFFICE SUPPLIES

Although the government Is usually
very prompt in responding to the ap-
plications of postmasters for such Of
fee supplies as may be needed by
the public, it has not been able to
honor these requisitions with its Gus
tomary dispatch for several months,
due to the inability of the contractors
to meet the requirements of the situa-
ton.
I Complaints have gone in to the
department at Washington, D. c., by
the score during the last few weeks
from postmasters in all parts of the
country that supplies cannot be had
fast enough and asking why such is
the case At many offices stamped en-
Ivelopes and newspaper wrappers can
not be had, as the supply is exhaust
ed and it is impossible to replenish
the stock. The explanation given by
the authorities is that the delay has
been caused to a great extent by
the removal of the factory which has
the contract for printing them from
Hartford, Connecticut, to Dayton, o.
The new plant at Dayton has a ca
pacity of getting out 100000 stamped
envelopes and newspaper wrappers
per day, so it can be realized that
the plant is an immense one. The
factory will soon be in smooth run
ming order and the envelopes will be
delivered at once. ---
A good deal of annoyance to Post
master Lewis and his assistants has
grown out of the inability of the de-
partment to meet the demands Of the
patrons of the Office with its former
promptness, but there is nothing to
do except to wait patiently, as from
the action of the government there is
no appeal.
The Daily Record heard the other
day of a postmaster in one of the
Custer county villages who threatened
to resign unless the government pro-
vided him with the necessary supplies
instanter Whether there is vacancy
in that Office yet We have not been
informed
