Wants Nice Packages

Golf bugs who want Uncle Sam to
caddy for them by carrying their clubs
from town to suburban clubs by parcel

postmasters, asking them to urge pat
rons to use care in preparing parcels

as to the wrapping of golf sticks. post
masters are reminded that canes, um-
brellas. and articles Of this character

wires Of the street car company.

region for q park is the other project
pressed before the Commissioners.
