A local man who is up on military
matters and is interested in giving the
fiag the honors which are due it says
that not one car in 90 on which the
flags of the allied nations are being
displayed are showing them correctly.
THE proper place for the American
flag is at the right, not in the middle
where it is most frequently put. The
question of the position of the other
flags is more a matter of individual
taste. but in military practice the next
largest country would have its flag at
the extreme left, and the smallest
country would have its flag in the CEN
ter with the others grading down to it
from both sides. But the principal
thing for local owners to remember is
that the proper place for the United
States flag is at the right.

Burleigh street, Chaplain and Main

pens that the carriers on these routes
have more mail than they can carSy
at one time and it makes a lot of OK
ira work for them to have to come
back to the office or something Ike
that to get all their mail. With these
storage mail boxes the extra mail of
the carrier on that route can be car
ried there and placed in the box
and when the carrier comes to
it he can take it from there, This
has been done for q long time in 9TH
er cities but is being introduced for
the first time here. The boxes such
as are in use on Main street, but have
no opening for the uncancelled mail
to be placed there being only one
large door at the back where the
mail is left and taken out. The par
eel post team is used to carry the mail

no action unless they did receive such in
