POSTMASTER NOT
THE ONE AT FAULT
Carelessness of Postoffice
Patrons Often Real Cause
of COMPLAINTS.

Assistant postmaster Wilton says that
his experience in the postal service
has made him believe that a large por-
ton of the public either lacks knowl-
edge of many. essential rules of the
postoffice business, or that they are
very Indifferent at least until they
are affected personally or have some
real or imaginary grievance, then they
take up valuable time at the post
office
The cause of errors or delays in con-
nection with mail matter can usually
be traced to some omission or over
sight of the sender or receiver Gen
uine complaints are welcome and are
Zealously investigated, but it is often
found that persons who make the most
violent complaint are themselves the
ones most to blame
The burdens of the postmaster would
be much lightened if everyone would
learn a few things about postoffice
matters-for example, the rates OF
postage, how to address a letter or
parcel properly for mailing, to always
advise the postoffice of any change
in, their address, give their CORE
spondents their correct address, also
all publishers of papers or magazines
to which they are subscribers; in short,
to learn TO do what is necessary
The rates of postage are:
First class-Two cents on letters or
sealed parcels in the United States and
its possessions, Mexico. Cuba, Canada,
British Isles, Germany, also United
States postal agency at Shanghai,
China; five cents to other countries in
the postal union.
Second class-Unsealed newspapers
and periodicals, one cent for each four
ounces or fraction thereof.
Third class-Unsealed books, circu-
lars. miscellaneous printed matter, one
cent for each two ounces or fraction
thereof
Fourth class-Unsealed merchandise
and all matter not in first. second or
third class, one cent for each ounce
or fraction.
All mail matter should bear the
name of sender and good address.

FOUND COMFORT IN WATER

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The day of which 1 am going to
write is the twenty-ninth OF last
August.
We were staying in a PENTHOUSE at
Anaheim landing at the time. There
is usually a cool, refreshing sea breeze
blowing and the weather was as usual
in the morning.
We took a bath and then came in
and ate dinner 1t tasted very good,
as everything usually does at the
beach. After dinner Violet, two friends
and l sat ON our porch playing finch.
Suddenly, about 2 o'clock, the sea
breeze stopped and in its place came
a hot breeze from the interior.
We dropped our finch cards and ran
quickly to get into our bathing suits
By the time we were ready almost
every one on the beach had on bath
ing suit.
Martha couldn't swim well enough to
go out in deep water, so she stayed
near the shore with some other per-
sons, while Violet, Grace and / swan
down the bay with some other bathers.
The second time we swan down
Violet rested one of her hands on my
uncles shoulder, and by accident she
got her mouth filed with water.
She commenced to choke, and her
head went under water, but she held
on to my uncle ana pulled MIN uhuer
too.
They came up sputtering and chok-
ing and when they saw us laughing
at them they laughed, too.
We came to shore soon after and
some of them went out again, but
we three girls with Martha, stayed
near the shore and had fun there.
While / wasn't watching, Grace came
up behind me and ducked me. Then
we had water fight, Violet and Grace
being on one side, and Martha and
on the other. OF course, Violet and
Grace surrendered" Then we went
out and dressed.
About o'clock the sea breeze came
up again, and then we went walking.
On returning we ate supper and then
went boat riding, which is certainly
a pleasant pastime, especially at night.
We afterwards learned that 1t had been
ia degrees at Anaheim, the hottest
day it had been for more than ten
years. GLADYS GERVAIS,

WERE LEMONADE MERCHANTS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One summer morning in the middle
of July 1 awakened to find the sun
shining brightly.
1t was very warm in the house and
I knew that before long it would be
uncomfortably warm if 1 did not pull
the shades down. shut the outside
doors and the ones opening into the
attic.
I got up and dressed as quickly as
possible. Then 1 shut the house up
so it would be cool all day, and put
up the ice sign.
Soon the ice man came, bringing the
ice. l then did my work, so that it
would be finished early. Next l ate
my breakfast and washed the dishes.
1 determined to have a good time,
if it was hot, so I went to Patricia's
house TO see ii she could pass the day
with me. Her mother said she could,
so we went triumphantly to Beth's
house for her. Fortunately she could
come, so we turned our steps toward
my home.
When we reached there it was nearly
noon. Mother gave us light lunch
con of sandwiches, fruit and milk.
After lunch we played until about 2
o'clock, when we were tired of play
ing. We went to ask mother If we
could have a lemonade stand. To our
surprise she said we could, and gave
us a cake and a box of cookies in addl-
ton. 1t seemed to me that she was
letting me do most anything I wanted
to, for she had let me invite Patricia
and Beth to stay at my house that
day. She had also let us have the lem
onade stand.
We were delighted and went right
to work. Mother gave US some lem
ons, a large cup of sugar and pan
of ice. We had the kitchen table for
our stand and a clean dish towel for
a tablecloth Mother also let us use
a pitcher, three glasses Gone small one
and two large ones), and plate. She
then left us to fix the table to suit our
selves.
When our table was ready (as we
thought) we carried it outdoors near
the street in the shade of a tree. Just
then Beth happened to remember the
cake and cookies. We thought 1t a
fine idea to serve cake or cookies with
the lemonade, so l went in the house
and cot them. We had our table dec
GRATED with fern and daisies. Every
body seemed to like our lemonade and
we made 55 cents that afternoon.
That is the way I-passed the hottest
day this summer When it came time
for my friends to go home we each
took II cents and the remaining cents
we gave to a poor boy on the street.
