COSTS THREE CENTS
TO SEND LETTERS
AFTER NOVEMBER |

Beginning Thursday. November 1,
Pendleton people will be required to
pay increased postage rates in con-
Torrance with the new regulations
adopted as a war revenue measure
Instead of two cents three cents will
be required on first class matter ex-
cept for drop letters. That is. the
common letter postage will be three
cents except on letters for persons
within the city Postmaster Tweedy
urges that the people take particular
pains to remember this increase in
postage in order to reduce the delay
and congestion in the service to a
minimum.
One provision of the new act is
that postmasters salaries shall not be
increased during the war. Their sal
aries are based upon postal receipts
and, inasmuch as the increased rates
would result in a considerable in
crease in receipts, the salaries would
be automatically boosted unless 9TH
erwise provided.

COUNTY JAIL HAS

Activities of Solicitors Office Largely
Responsible for New Record.
Watch Presented to
Solicitor

Another record has been established
by the county solicitors office for quick
disposition of the cases in which it is
oners remained in the county jail
who had not received trial. Twelve of
these cases are indictments for muir
der, three for misdemeanors and the re-
mainder are awaiting preliminary hear
ing.
1t was stated by officials of the county
last night that this is the best record
for the past 20 y0ars. There is not a
single prisoner in the Jail who is not
indicted for noncapital offense who
has not had a trial.
The efforts of the entire force of this
office for many weeks had been directed
at cleaning out the Jail before the
Christmas holidays. Through their ex-
ira effort and over time work. it has
been possible for those who were ac-
quilted to enjoy much more pleasant
Christmas and an early trial and SEN
tence has been made possible for many
more.
Solicitor Joseph r. Tate has been pre-
scented with beautiful watch by his
five assistants. The presentation was
made by Judge w. E. Fort, with few
appropriate remarks. The donors are

LIGHT RESPONSE IS
MADE COMMUNITY
CHRISTMAS PLANS
800 Needy Families Have
Been Reported and Inves-
tigated, But Supplies
Fail to Materialize

The community Christmas plan does
not seem to be taking with the peo-
pie of Birmingham as it has with
some of the other cities According to
the report of the general chairman
of the committee the Boy Scouts will
have very light task indeed in car
rying provisions to the needy families
this season unless more interest Is
shown today, tomorrow and Monday.
Thus far but three firms have respond
ed. The Plosser-Knight company, with
40 sacks of flour; the w. M Cosby
Flour and Grain company 10 sacks Of
large load of bread The Kiwanis
club has sent in a check for $25.
Over 800 needy families have been
reported and investigated. These
names have been procured from the
various civic organizations of the city
and from the city department of char
tiles. The city has no funds appro-
priated for this work except for ad-
rninistration purposes and if supplies
not only be many homes here wltn-
out Christmas cheer but there Will
be scores where there will be actual
munger instead.
The committee still hopes that tho
plan will receive hearty support and
that the floor of the old Saks build
ing at First and Nineteenth will be
covered to such an extent that it will
take the scouts all day Monday to
pack the baskets and far into the
night to deliver them. A number of
the churches and Sunday schools may
send in the returns from their white
Christmas" programmes and these do
nations will, of course, help consider
ably as they will contain a great va
riety of provisions. Some of the schools
may follow the example of the Lake
view school, which is preparing IS
baskets to be taken out Christmas
eve. All contributions should be sent
in at once.
