SCENT LETTERS ARE
COMING NOVEMBER 2

Full details of the three-cent post
age plan inaugurated as a war reve-
nue. measure are contained In orders
received at the Ray postoffice. On
and after November 2 a rate of three
cents for every ounce and fraction
thereof will be charged on letters
leaving Ray. All letters addressed to
persons in Ray will be delivered at
two cents. The post card will be
raised from one to two cents
The instructions received indicate
that 1t will be impossible for the gov
ernment to supply three-cent enve-
lopes or the new two-cent post cards
in sfficient time to supply all de-
mands for some time to come, and
these probably will not be sold until
the old supply Of two-cent stock is
exhausted.
Until such supplies are received it
will be necessary to affix one-cent
stamps to the two-cent envelopes, or
one and two-cent stamp to an ordi-
nary envelope and one-cent stamp
to a one-cent postal card to obtain
delivery after November /.
There has been a large demand for
two-cent envelopes of late, evidently
under the misapprehension that the
old rates would obtain until the pres
ent supply of stock was exhausted.
The local postoffice emphasizes the
point contained in the orders that the
three-cent rate will be rigidly en-
forced for all outside letter mail.
The orders indicate that postmas-
ters may now make their acquisitions
for three-cent printed special-request
stamped envelopes of all designs and
in all designs and in all listed sizes
with the exception of manila. The
prices of the new envelopes will be
| the same as for two-cent plus one
cent.
There is one point that 1 would
like the Copper Camp to make clear
to the public" said Mrs. Mooman, in
discussing the new orders, "and that
is, that all letters mailed with insult
ficient postage will be held up. II
the return card is given, the letter
will be returned to the sender for ad
ditional postage. If this is not given
then the addressee will be notified
and asked to send additional postage
required"

WILL NOT SEIZE HOME GOODS

A report has been circulated in some
of the states that the government ex-
poets to take food supplies from fam
lilies who have in response to the gov
ernment campaign conserved large
quantities of perishable gruits and
vegetables. Such pernicious and trea-
sonable reports may not have extend
ed to Arizona, and 1t Is hoped that
they will be given no credence should
they be circulated
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been con-
templated by the government. On the
contrary. both the Department of Ag-
riculture and the Food Administration
are strongly urging housewives to can
and preserve, especially at this time
all surplus fruits and vegetables in
order that the households themselves
may have cheap and plentiful sup
ply of food. f. P. TAYLOR,

LIBERTY BOND rs
DIPLOMA IN THRIFT

NEW YORK, Oct. ia Liberty
bond is a diploma in the school of
thrift" declared s. w. Straus, presi-
dent OF the American Society for
Thrift, In statement to the members
OF that organization. "A subscription
to this issue Is the best way to begin
a thrifty life. Secretary McAdoo is
asking for subscriptions from 10000
900 Americans. II he is successful in
this feature OF the loan, it will mean
that thousands our citizens have for
the first time in their lives begun the
accumulation of something for old age
or the rainy day.
Let me appeal especially to the
man or woman who has gone along
thus far In life with absolutely moth
ing laid by. Not only does your coun-
try need your help In this matter,
but you need 1t even more. This Lib
erty Loan Is going to be a success,
for America knows not how to fail,
but you will keep on being an indi-
vidual failure unless you arise to this
opportunity A Liberty bond or two
tucked away in a safety vault will
bring you more PLEASURE than the
same amount invested In any other
way. Once saver, always saver
The person who hasn't enough moral
stamina to save money for such a
cause as this is pretty apt to be a
failure in life. Prove your worth and
give your own future chance by sub
scribing for this loan. You need it as
much as it needs you"

OF course, the supposition can be
based on the unquestionable fact that
no one actually saw Kitchener perish
in the water The ten survivors of
the Hampshire who were washed
ashore on a raft saw Kitchener on the
deck before the boat went down. The
captain was calling to him to get into
boat; but whether he did or not, no
one actually knows, and the sea has
done stranger things than to wash
Kitchener ashore on some wreckage
or in boat, only to be taken a pris-

GENERAL INCREASE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 10.- The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion wants the railroads to feel good over the war and today they agreed to an immediate general increase in freight rates. As the railroads have been making more money than ever before in the history of the industry this permission is gratutious gift of profits to the railroads. It Is estimated that the increase now granted will cover the alleged in crease of fifty millions in operating expenses four times over.
 The railroad chiefs are jubilant and believe that the eight hour law is a blessing in disguise.
