Postmaster Davenport has an
nounced that separate window for
Christmas bundles will be opened ut
the local office. This will avoid con-
gestion around the general delivery

Of the office are asked to affix their
stamps on their packages before they
reach the office as often as possible.
A pair of scales will be placed il
the lobby of the postoffice and chart
will be tackled up where all may see.
This will enable the senders of pack
ages to put the right amount in stamps
ON their packages.
The local Office is already feeling
the press of extra business and the
entire force is taxed to it's fullest ca
pacity. If the people of Americas
will be kind enough to stamp thei:
own packages and drop them in the
Especial window it will relieve the al
ready overworked force of extra work

During the first two years of the

a charge of 20 cents an acre was made
for insurance, but this was increased

THE DRAMA TODAY.

A new book which will be welcomed
by lovers and students Of dramatic
are is 1.-THE Drama Today" by Charl-
ton Andrews Of the Department Of
English at the State Normal school.
It has this months been issued from
the press of the J. B. Lippincott Com
pany, Philadelphia, and makes the
latest and probably the most valuable
addition to the literature of the stage
in some years.
Perhaps the most valuable and in
teresting feature Of the book Is its
comprehensiveness. While there have
been collected at various times, discus
sions of various groups Of playwrights.
concerning the drama of individual ma
lions, Mr.. Andrews book strikes =
new note in comment and criticism

manual that the treatise has been
written" says Mr.. Andrews in his
Preface. Little effort has been made
to shed new light on the topics dis
cussed; the attempt has been rather
to present in small compass accurate
general information as to the leaders
Of the modern stage and their work.
and to offer, in passing, some opin-
ions as to the prospects and tenden
cies Of the dramatic art in our day.
The book bespeaks, enough its
reliability and merit, place In the
library Of any who are interested in
the stage, and we predict for 1t, cor
dial reception.
AS a result of the enforcement of
the prohibition law in Foster county,
there are fewer blind pigs than ever
before in the county's history.
