Notice to Parents

Last season there was quite a
lot of complaint about mail being
lost by children who had called
at the postoffice for it on their
way to and from school.
This is notice that mail will
not be delivered to children Of
tender years.
The children have the very
bad habit of calling for mail on
the way to school, at recess, at
noon, and in the afternoon after
school. This works a hardship
on meE who have to work, who
get their mail at the general
delivery window, and who have
to stand in line behind a lot of
children who are after mail, we'll
knowing in many and in most
instances that there is no mail
for them.
Parents will please instruct
their children to not call for
mail at the general delivery
window, unless they have a
written order for mail.

Waste INVOLVED
IN FRESH BREAD
Some Things the CONNER
ciaI Economy Board
Has Found.
by IDA NJ. TARBELL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25.-
Few women have any idea of the
commercial machinery which makes
| it possible for them in every town of
any size to get at any time of the day
loaf of freshly baked bread. We
so take this convenience for granted
that we do not exercise even ordinary
forethought about the amount of
bread that we order in the morning.
We know that if we take two loaves
in the morning and find ourselves
short toward tea time that an extra
fresh loaf is easy to get. 1t is only
when our attention is challenged that
common sense tells us that this is no
matter of course but the result of
large preparation on somebody's part.
What the machinery and efforts are
have just been made clear by the
Governments Council of National
Defense.
The fact that this war is to be
fought on wheat as much if not more
than on guns and men is becoming
clear to us ALL The Government is
turning it's machinery to study the
points Of saving wheat without too
largely disturbing business. The
Council of National Defense has
subordinate body called the CONNER
cial Economy Board. 1t is the bust
ness of this Board to see where we
can make useful economies in the dis
tribution of commodities. One of the
first things to which this Commercial
Economy Board turned its attention
was wheat products, and quite natur-
ally it seems now, the first thing they
discovered was the continuous supply
of fresh bread on the retailers
