POSTAGE RATE ON
FOREIGN LETTERS

There are quite few letters mailed
here addressed to cities in France, Rus
sia and other foreign countries, sub
ject to the postal union postage rates,
that contain only a two cent stamp,
the senders of such letters being under
the impression, it is presumed, that
the two cent domestic postage rate is
appliable to such letters. In case the
senders of these letters are unknown
it is necessary to send them to the
dead letter office.
The only foreign destinations to
which the cent letter rate applies are
Canada, Cuba, Mexico, the republic of
Panama, Newfoundland, the canal
zone, Germany (by direct steamers
only, England, Scotland, Wales and
Ireland, and the city Of Shanghai,
China. To all other places the rate is
cents for the first ounce or fraction
of an ounce and cents for each addit-
ional ounce or fraction of an ounce,
which must he fully prepaid or the
letters become liable on delivery to a
charge equal to double the amount of
the deficient postage. For instance, a
single rate letter prepaid only 2 cents
would be short paid cents, and conse-
quently subject on delivery to an ad-
ditional postage charge'of 6 cents.

COMING BACK TO OLD WISCONSIN
Former Resident of North Wants New
Information

According to the Rhinelander papers
f. w. Smith, formerly of that place,
now of Moose Jaw, Sask., is headed
back to Upper Wisconsin.
]. B. Reisman, who has recently re-
turned from trip in Western Canada,
says:
Coming from Canada, was told, !"
said Mr.. Reisman, ''that so per cent
of the American farmers who went in
to Manitoba and Saskatchewan will re-
turn to their home country in another
year; some of them, in fact, are leav-
ing now. 1t seems that the high cost
of living in that country has decided
them to return to America, where
they can buy necessities for less money
than they can in the Dominion. The
great importation of American pro-
ducts into Canada is one reasonf for the
advanced prices"
"The Canadians recognize the fact
that many of the American farmers
who went there in the boom days are
leaving"
