 FostofFice Ordered Closed on Sunday.
 Postmaster Charles A. Potter re- 'ceived a postoffice department order Monday morning that means the clos ing of the local postoff1ce on Sundays hereafter. The following extract Is from the order received:
 "The postoffice appropriation act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, provides that hereafter postoffices of the first and second classes shall not be open on Sundays for the purpose of delivering mail to the general public but this provision shall not prevent the prompt delivery of special delivery mail'"
 The order directs that general deliv- cry, carriers window and lock boxes be closed and all carrier delivery serv- ice discontinued on Sunday. The idea is, as indicated in the order, to re- duce work to a minimum on Sundays in order that the postoffice employees Hdy pc dOle lO get as compete Qsly of rest as possible.
 It has been the Sunday rule here for some time to have the office open for the transaction of business from z to s o'clock Sunday mornings and to keep the lobby open until 10 o'clock. This regulation has been done away with. The office will be entirely closed next Sunday and on Sundays in the future.
