THREE HUNDRED
!. DOLLARS FOOD
SOLD FIRST DAY
RURAL CARRIERS ARE EXPECT
ED TO SWELL THE VOLUME
OF BUSINESS TODAY.
EVERYTHING IN LIST ORDERED
Postmaster viii Continue Sales Today
and Tomorrow and Possibly Until
the Allotment for This Office is
Sold.
DAILY Herald August 49,

While there was no great rush to
buy government supplies through the
postoffice here Monday, the opening
day of the sale, the volume of business
was encouraging to the postal author
tiles. Something like $500 worth of
foodstuffs, including the postage there
on was the volume of the days bust
ness. 1t was the first day, the rural
carriers did not have the necessary
blanks, as they had not arrived in
time, and hence took no orders. The
entire business of the day was done
through the postoffice.
1t is anticipated that business today
and tomorrow, the remaining days of
the sale, will show a big increase.
The carriers will all be taking orders
today and this of itself should very
greatly swell the total In the orders
of Monday something of nearly every
thing on the price list was purchased
1t is estimated that the postage paid
on the orders was not less than $40,
SO that actually about $3.50 Of the mer-
chandise enumerated was purchased
While orders have been received for
only three days sale it is expected
that the time will be continued if the
allotment of goods for this Office is
not purchased during that period 1t
is hardly expected that the entire al
lotment for the office will be exhaust
ed by Wednesday night as sales will
have to be much larger today and to-
morrow than Monday if that result is
attained.
Each rural carrier has a price list
of the foods, one is posted in the post
Office lobby and every effort is being
made by the postal authorities to in
form the people of what they can buy
and what it will cost them.

Secretary Baker said, the guard SER

from the ground up. LIBERALIZATION
of the guard for war service, the War
Department has held, on the opinion
of Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, act

ed they will return to civilian life
without any obligation either to the

Mr. Baker expressed a belief that
the problem of the national guard is
bound up closely with the question
of what Congress may do later in
framing legislation to establish per-
manent military policy. Existing
law provides for the regulars and the
national guard. Should some system
