FEW DAYS LIFT TO
FULFILL MSS. PLEDGE

Have kept my War Savings
Stamp pledge?" This question is
one that all should ask themselves
NOW as December 31st, the end Of
the pledge period very near. and if
you find that you have not already
purchased the number of stamps
pledged, you should do SO at once.
There are quite number in Grants
Pass and Josephine county who are
Pass and Josephine county who have
not yet completed their pledges
and all must understand the
necessity of making good on their
pledges; it must not be assumed that
because the war is over that 1t is no
longer necessary to keep pledges to
buy stamps. The government needs
now, and will continue to need large
sums of money for the next two or
three years with which to meet its
expenses incident to the war and all
are expected to buy at least as many
stamps as they pledged themselves
for.

SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
ARE AMPLY PROTECTED

Tours, France, Nov. 30.--(Special
correspondence) Mothers, sisters
and sweethearts in America need not
worry about protection OF their SOL
diers in Europe against the rigors OF
coming winter. The quartermas-
ter's corps specialists in France de-
clare to the Associated Press that
the boys are better equipped than
the majority OF them ever were in
civilian life.
Each soldier has two pairs OF
heavy nail clinched and dubbined
shoes which are impervious to water,
five pairs OF wool socks, three suits
of wool underwear, two complete
wool uniforms, two wool o. d. flan-
mel shirts, and one pair OF wool knit
spiral puttees ten feet long.
The quartermaster's corps esti-
mates that the average soldier in
campaign wears out one pair of trous-
ers every two months and makes pro-
vision on this basis although the
normal life OF a pair of breeches Is
six months. Every soldier also has
an overseas cap that has a felt pro-
tector to, pull down over the ears.
He is not allowed to wear the old
issue Of campaign hat that his folks
at home are used to seeing. He has
wool gloves and one-finger leather
mittens over them and each soldier
Is provided with at least three blank
cts and a waterproof slicker or rain
coat

Paris, Dec. 22.-Two parcels, as

sand francs. They will have to. lie

PENNY POSTAGE
VICTIM OF WAR
Was Great Influence in Weld
ing Far Flung En-
pire.
SPREADING OVER GLOBE
Might Have Been Universal
Now But for Outbreak
of HOstilities.
Special Correspondence to TIE srx.

LONDON. June 29.-Penny postage.
which disappeared at midnight Sunday,
June 2. was one Of the great triumphs of
peace and succumbed only to the de-
mands Of war. Although the price has
gone, the principle remains, and nothing
has been truer index to- the march of
progress than the penny stamp. It's
first use in 1910 for inland postage
amounted almost to a revolution. That
date Axes the great divide between
the Old postal systems and the new.
The penny stamp. probably more than
any other influence, exercised a power
in holding together the scattered bonds
OF kinship and acquaintance throughout
the far flung British Empire, and as a
factor in imperial trade II provided the
facilities upon which modern trading
depends.
Many years ago King Edward. then
Prince of Wales, said he looked forward
with hope to the day when every Eng
lish speaking man. in whatever part OF
the world he might be. should be re-
garded as being as much an Englishman,
SO far as the penny most was concerned.
as If he lived in Kent or Sussex This
was spoken before even inland postage
carried all the benefits that were sup
posed 10 De associated WIN II. II was
not until the Diamond Jubilee year OF
Queen Victoria that the last step was
taken to make inland penny postage
fully adequate to the demands OF the
community.
This minor postal concession had TO
satisfy for the moment the advocates OF
imperial penny hostage. who were then
pressing their claim that the adoption OF
their scheme in jubilee year would At
t,ngiy mari; the siXtleth anniversary OF
Queen Nictor!a's accession. TIE larger
boon was delayed until 1898, and the
credit OF It's introduction then undoubt-
eily belongs to Joseph Chamberlain.
But for the outbreak OF the war UNI
versal penny postage. which was on It's
way. might have been an additional
achievement by now. The case of the
United States and Britain finds parallels
in similar arrangements between China
and Japan and between Germany and
Austria,
