Perhaps the best way to find out

Animal food of some Kind such as

POSTAL INCREASE GOES
INTO EFFECT ON NOV. 2
Includes FirSt-CIass Matter
Except drop" Letters and
Also Written Cards

There remain but five more days be-
fore the increase of 1-cent postage on
all frst-class mail matter entering the
Atlanta postoffice becomes effective as
levied by the new war tax
On Friday morning, November 2. at
l2:Ol a. m. every letter received at the
local postoffice to be delivered to per-
sons residing outside the radius of this
office will have to bear an additional
1-cent postage The same applies to
post cards.
With placards placed In every nook
and corner of the lobby of the build
ing, the postoffice officials are caution
ing the public to remember the increase
in rates After the midnight hour has
passed Thursday night all letters bear
ing 2-cent postage will either be re-
turned to the sender or forwarded on
to it's destination and the additional
cent collected at that end.
The postal officials explain that there
will hardly be any delay in the mails
due to this fact. If letter hasn't suf-
ficient postage and has a return address
it will be sent back for the extra post
age, or if it fails to have the return adj
dress, it will be forwarded along just
the same as at present and the dues be
collected from the receiver.
The postoffice officials are anxious not
to have the increase in postage mis-
construed. There are several phases to
the new rating which are of Importance
to the general public.
For instance, the increase does not
affect the lo6al or drop" letter, which
is used to a large extent by Atlanta
and other merchants.
A drop" letter is one which is mailed
in the Atlanta postofice and can be de-
livered by either a city or a rural route
carrier connected with the Atlanta office.
The increase does not affect this
form of letter and it can be delivered
in all parts of the city and county where
mail is delivered from this office for the
same rate of cents. However. should
a drop" letter be mailed to Decatur, East
Point and other places in the county
where il is required to be delivered from
the Atlanta Office by train, then the adj
ditional 1 cent increase will have to be
paid
Another phase is that picture postal
cards and all post cards not containing
all printed matter will have to be mailed
with 2-cent stamps.
But the increase does not affect a post
card which contains all printed matter
on the back A church announcement,
q notice of fraternal order meeting
and other such notices can be mailed by
post .card at the present rating.
However. should the card have a cor
rection in ink or written signature or
inserted figures then the additional rat
ing will be enforced.
All post cards must conform with the
government standard size of 9-16 by
Gle. Cards having announcements to-
gether with those of the ordinary pic
ture type will continue to be received at
the Atlanta Office as third-cla,ss matter.
