LACK OF POSTAGE

One Cent Stamps Instead of

Office Trouble.

Despite efforts on the part OF off,
Gals of the post-ofic to keep tho
public informed concerning postal reg
ulations. there are many persons who
pay no heed and consequently throw
difficulties in the way OF clerks and
cause themselves trouble which would
be easily eliminted by few words
OF inquiry.
There is an impression. especially
true OF Richmond. according to state
ments made yesterday by Postmaster
Edgar Allan, Jr.. that Enclosed writ

tertainments, weddings and church

arc deliverable for one-penny postage.
This is an error. as in all free delivery
offices such mall requires letter post

Cloth "Postcnrds."
Recently the post office has been
flooded with small cloth pennants, de-
posted in the mails as matter similar
to postcards and bearing i-cent
stamps. All cards. other than the reg
ulaton size, and those made OF stun
cardboard, leather, tin. aluminium OF
wood. containing written matter other
than the address of the sender or that

Many tinseled. mica and celluloid

between them and the ball Of the
foot. This may seem unnecessary d.
rection, but to avoid stockings that
shrink, the manufacturers have sue
ceeded in making those that stretch
instead, especially cotton stockings.
Care should be taken in washing
stockings. If they are too long they
should be hung by the toes to dry
and not by the upper part; and stock

An exchange very wisely remarks;
What makes a town, anyway? Is it
the wealth evidenced by fine homes
and splendid store buildings? These
may attest the stability and thrift of
certain people, but they offer no great
inducements to commercial and NOR
al progress. Is it the spirit of good
order and law observance? That is a
afctor only. The sleepiest old ham
lets that dot the map have this spirit
in rank abundance. Is it the schools
and churches? May their number
ever increase, but they don't make a
town-they only culture it. Is is
the geographical location, the char
acter of the country surrounding the
shipping facilities? None of these is
an essential. Well, what is it that
makes a town, anyway? Just one
thing-the unity of the people, the
existence of a common bond which
causes business and social enemies to
put aside all differences when ii
comes to boosting the town. No town
ever made real progress on the way
to substantial success without the
get together spirit unanimously ad-
opted. 1t has rejuvenated old hulks
of towns that were yawning their way
into endless sleep. 1t has infused new
lifeblood into the heart of CONNER
cial life and made thriving cities GU
of paralytic villages. Natural ad
cantages count for much, and pros
perity cannot be built on shifting
sand, but any town with half a chance
can be made to grow and expand anC
thrive when its citizens join will

1t happens now and again that you
hear a person say, you can't believe
anything you see in the newspaper.
When this nonsensical utterance
strikes your ears it is safe to relegate

thing. AS a matter OF fact the news
papers. with very few exceptions,
leave no stone unturned in their eff

The manager replied he knew
nothing about the matter and or
dered the negro out of the way.
The claimant, however. stood his
ground and finally proved to the
manager that he did own the lot.
Then the manager looked up the
real estate agent who had rented the
lot for the circus purposes. The real

o. YOU DANDELIONi

fhe dandelion be regarded as an
enemy? It is really beautiful lit
tie weed, a delicious little herb. 1t
sets off the lawn in springtime. 1t
attracts the birds. 1t gives color to
the landscape. And dug while young
and tender, and boiled with ham or
bacon, comes near to being the most
palatable dish the vernal season has

Possibly If the dandelion were
rare it would be more appreciated;
but when it arrives in such numbers
as to kill the lawn something siren
uous has to be done. 1t may be con-
ceded that it is attractive and edi-
BILE, but the man who is interested
in growing a good lawn cannot af-
ford to plant new one each sea-
son and does not want to put up
with a lot of dandelion scrubs for
the rest of the summer after the
blossoms are gone and certainly no
one wants dandelion greens three
times a day and they would have to
be eaten in such proportions to keep
up with the excessive supply. If this
hardy little plant could be confined
to vacant lots and fields and kept
out of the lawns, the sHtagonism to
the plant might be quoted States

cor WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM

1t seems that the man Williams
or Stanley or whatever might be his
name, who was to found a great
model, socialistic republic in Lower
california, was cut "a little short
in his expectations. He recruited
his band of patriots; he fitted them
out with care; if there was anything
on any of the ranches in his path
that his command wanted that he
did not steal, it was because it es-
capped his notice; when all was
ready he attacked large body of
Mexican veterans on the theory pro-
badly that they would not fight, but
a few rounds from machine guns
and a few volleys from magazine
rifles changed his calculations. Most
of his thieves were killed ana when
he decided that the enemy was work
ing over Industrial Workers hours
and "struck" out for safer quarters,
a shell followed him and exploded in
the little bunch of fugitives of which
he was one, and a fragment of the
shell struck him in the only really
vital place in his system-in the jaw
and finally did him up. IL is impos-
sible for us to feel any grief over this
event which it seems We ought He

stole his outfit, and his hight pur-
pose. while shouting for industrial
