In harmony with the same spirit

Cartwright and his municipal col

lacked only the rails and the cars

POSTAL RATES
TO BE REVISED
Zone System Provided for Mag
azines and Newspapers. Hits

One-cent postage for local first
class mail deliveries and zone sys-
tenn Of rates for second-class matter
which is expected greatly to increase
the charges for magazines and other
periodicals having nationwide cir
culation, are provided for in the an
nual postoffice appropriation bill as
virtually completed today in commit
tee.
= The measure, carrying appropria-
tions totalling about $317, 7,000,O 900
probably will be reported to the house
next week.
The zone proposal for handling
newspapers and magazines, which
now pay fat rate Of one cent a
pound, is regarded as one of the most
radical changes in postage rates in
years. 1t divides the country into
eight zones, with rates chargeable
ranging from one cent for three hun
dred miles to six cents of 1900 miles
or more. The bulk of daily newspa-
pers, the committee believes will not
be affected, because they do not cir
culate beyond a 800 mile radius. The
section fixing the rates for publica-
tion follows:
THAT all newspapers, magazines
and other publications regularly ad-
mitted to the mails as matter of the
second class, when mailed by the pub.

WAR CAUSES
TOY SHORTAGE
Merchants Unable to Get Stocks
of Former Years. Prices
.... Are Higher

If Glasgow parents wish their kid
dies to have the usual portion of
Christmas toys, or any portion at all
for that matter, they had better buy
early.
Toys are scarce; they are more ex-
pensive than usual and local depart
ment store buyers predict that the
price will advance as the holiday sea-
son approaches.
There are, of course, no foreign
toys to be had with the exception of
those left over, and American manu-
facturers are already oversold in
many instances.
In looking over the toy situation it
is interesting to note the quality of
the American made toys as compared
with the German and French. In al
most every instance native playthings
are being made to take the place of
the important kind but they are some
how different.
They are, in the first place, often of
the instructive type mot extensively
SOY, but they offer a field for develop
ment of skill through play, which is
directly in line with the present-day
ideas of education.
The "Mecano," tinker Toy" and
"Erecto" are among the toys which
allow the genius of the child builder
to show itself.
One toy buyer insists that "Ameri-
can toys are more like the real thing"
To the miniature trains, some of the
animals, and that ever present "cos-
mopolite," the Teddy-bear, this may
apply, but alas for the fate of the

MALTA TO OPEN
SEASON HERE
First Basketball Game Next
Thursday Night. Teams
Well Matched

With Malta as their first opponents,
the Glasgow H. S. quintet will begin
the basketball season Thursday. The
little affair will be threshed out on
the local high school gym floor, and
it promises to be quite time of
mourning for someone. Malta is re-
ported to be much stronger this year
than last, and has hopes of revenge
for the drubbing they received last
year here. Glasgow's team also bids
fair to be better than last year, when
they came withone one game, their
only defeat, of winning the champion
ship of northeastern Montana.
Supt. Williams is making the final
arrangements on schedule that
makes those of former years sound
like play. The dates are not all def
initely determined yet, but Glasgow
will have at least five, and possibly
six, home games, with return games
at the other schools. Besides Malta,
Williston, Culbertson, Chinook, and
Havre will play here for certain, and
there is strong possibility that Fort
Benton or some other fast team will
also be seen. Glasgow plays at Cul-
bertson and Williston during the
Christmas vacation. The remainder
of the schedule will be published as
soon as possible.
