ises to be considerably enlivened through discussion of reviving in ex- tended degree the trading stamp business in the borough. Some of the members of the association, it is un- derstood, have entered into an agree ment to give trading stamps or are contemplating doing so and this is held by those of the organization op- posed to giving stamps as a direct violation of one of the rules of the association. It is further, held by those against giving stamps that a principal reason that brought about the revival and reorganization of the Business Mems association about two years ago was a desire to get that unity among the business interests of the borough that would allow the merchants to rid themselves of the expense of giving premiums or stamps.
 Indications Monday were for con- siderable of a controversy over the matter. Those opposed to stamps are bitter against the proposition of gfv- ing them an added strength here and are talking of seeking the rejection are going to give them. When the business men favorins stamps heard of this they were not much jarreS and made 1t known that they proposed to run their own business as they saw fit, regardless of what members op- posed to them on the stamp preposi- ton in the association might think about it.
 A possible development of the con4 troversy. if such it may be termed in it's present state of development, is a stamp war from which the buyers in this and surrounding towns may be presented 8 carnival opportunity for collecting. A merchants stamp as- soeiation in threatened to offset the stamp offerings of the group of buSi- ness men that are coming under fire in the premium matter. The claim is being set up that such a merchants combination can be made much strong er in point of the number of business men entered than any stamp com pany' can hope to get here and there- fore much more attractive for the col leetors, giving them a wider local field of operation
 In any event the trading stamp pro- position has again started something in the borough ard before the threat ened campaign is over all the business men that get into the premium game are going to have an opportunity to charge themselves up with some fat expense accounts. Many of them know this-they have been through the ceiving themselves over what the amount of the extra tax on their business is to be. The gapie of giv- ing 5e stamps with d 5 cent handker- chief and charging 10 cents for the lot is known to all who have played the game, but there are a lot of them that do not want to play that way any more, and then again some that do, Hence the stamp row.

POST OFFICE INSPECTOR.
Coming to Determine as to Free De-
 livery of Mail,

C. H. PendIeton inspector for the U. S. poStof1ce department, will be in Danie1son today CTuesday) to make an inspection of the borough relative to its qualifications for receiving a free delivery service of mail in ac- eerdance with plans announced some time ago by Congressman Bryan F. Mahan. Inspector Pendleton will make g thorough inspection of the borough. 1t is unfortunate at this particular time that many of the street signs are down temporarily that they may be painted or replaced by new signs, but this matter can be satisfactorily explained to the inspector. Regula- dons of the aoostoff1ce department re- quire that towns receiving free de- livery service of mail have street signs to designate all thoroughfares. This requirements has long been compiled with, the absence of the signs being only for the time being.
 Just what Mir. Pende1ton's report will be is, of course, impossible of forecasting at this time. but the many anxious for free delivery service hope 1t will be favorable and that carriers will be put on in Danielson as soon as can be conveniently arranged.
