BEWARE OF MATCHES
Against the Official Rules To Send Such Articles Through The Mails Figures For Past Year.

Such Articles Through The MlIiS--
 Figures For Past Year.
 Will the local public stand at at tention, salute Postmaster Delaney and listen closely to what he has to say. More and better care should be taken in addressing packages to soldiers. The latest practice, and it Is a dangerous one, is the placing of matches in the tobacco intended for the men at the front.
 It is against the rules of the depart ment to place anything inflammable in packages to be forwarded. There is the ever-present danger that in some way they will be brought to the point where a fire may start. If any thing should happen the tobacco would be smoked but not In the way 1t was intended. So, if you would prevent your package from going to the dead letter office or meeting some such fate, place no matches within.
 If a simple warning has no effect some other measures will be found that may cause trouble for the send CT. The chances are that the boys will find some kind of a light SO leaves the matches out.
 Figures for the year ending on June 30 at the local office show that 1t was banner year with $167,116.86 worth of business done against $145,- 775.61 last year During 1914 he business amounted to S156,671.52 which shows that the receipts dropped back in 1915.
