The Bridal Chest

Every fall bride will want box
to hold the articles of her trousseau
as they are gathered together Beau
tiful boxes of cedar may be pur-
chased for little, and are made in a
very convenient way Instead of the
lid lifting up, as did the box of great
grandma SO long ago, the front may
be dropped down revealing two draw
ers to hold the things. The box locks
securely and the effect is very neat.
Dark cedar boxes are ornamented
with the brides initials in German
letters of solid brass placed on the
false lid

Of Interest to Postoffice Patrons

Box rents at the local postoffice for the next quarter will be due on December 10th, and the postmaster was notified by the inspector who was here last week that the law must be enforced; that is. all boxes on which the rent has not been paid by January 1st, must be closed and the mail put in the general delivery.
 Many people think the money from box rents goes to the post master, but it does not, even though he owns the boxes.
 The following extract from the postal laws may explain the delay in receiving your expected package from your friends in the east, and ,lso shows what authority the postmaster has to examine such packages as he may think contains natter other than that on which postage has been paid:
 "Where postmaster at the office ,f mailing is satisfied that the sender of a piece of mail matter has knowingly concealed or in- closed matter of higher class in that of lower, he shall report the case to the Department, giving all the facts and circumstances, includ- ing the name of the sender, if known, the name of the addressee, md a description of the package and the matter inclosed therein. Where the postmaster at the office of delivery is satisfied that there has been a violation of this section, he will deliver the package to the addressee on payment of the proper amount of postage, and report the facts to the Department. If the proper postage is not paid, the package will be retained to be used as evidence"
