The rise in the cost of living hits

to be higher the first Of November.
Not only will stamps cost three cents

stamp on also. The same for all
government stamped envelopes and

So far there is no symptom, Of q

the new war revenue law made any
change in the rates here.
Az to the effect Of three cent letter
postage there is much discussion.
When the rate was reduced from three

the revenue Of the government largely
increased because Of additional use
Of the mails. However, that lesson
