Did you ever add a one cent
stamp TO an overweight letter, think
ing that three cents would carry it?
If so, you made another of those
blunders so easily committed when
trying to conform to the government
rules. If you will question any post
master, or look at the instructions on
any book of stamps you will learn
that domestic rate for first class
matters. letters and sealed packages is
two cents for each ounce or fraction.
Letter postage therefore is not frac-
tional, but in multiples of two. Elk.
! -Vandie Ludvik. recently resigned
from the naval service Of the U. S.
and who has been visiting his parents

! left yesterday for a brief visit with
| his brother Joe, in Juneau county,
after which he will go to Chicago to
| take course of instruction in air
| ship construction and operation at the
| Chicago School Of Aviation, where
the Glenn Curtis machines are manu-
featured. Vandie is a young man Of
progressive ideas and recognizes the
possibilities the future offers in the
aviation line. We expect to hear Of

make trial trip to Lancaster in his
air ship.

people. He came to town that morn

working in that vicinity and spent the
day about town. In the evening he
did not return home but slept at the
Tiller livery stable. He left there
the next day without telling anyone
where he was going, Since that time
he has not been heard of, although a
careful search has been made 1t is
thought perhaps that he left town on
| the train but this can not be proven.
