Today We Celebrate
Cheap Postage.

This is the seventy-1ninth anniver-
sary of the first trial of cheap postage,
the syste of the penny postage having
bee nfnaugurated in England on jan
nary 10, 40. The idea that letters
could be forwarded to any part of
England and delivered for only a
penny seemed absurd to most English
men. n they predicted speedy fail
ure for the project. It is unnecessary
to point out that they proved to be
poor prophets.
On this &ie OF the Atlantic the
much greater distances seemed to pre-
clude the adoption of any such meas
ure rs a low, fiat ate for letters. At
the time Great b itain adopted penny
postage. the rates in the nited States
were: For thirty miles and under, six
cents: thirty to sixty miles. eight
cents; sixty to one hundred miles. ten
tionate increase. SO that a letter dis
patched a distance of 450 miles cost
twenty-five cents.
With the adoption of Rowland Hills
penny postage, England also adopted
his suggestion that the difficulties at
lndlng prepayment of postage might
be overcome by using a bit OF paper
large enough to pear the stamp. AMI
covering the back with a glutinous
wash, which, by applying a little mois-
ture. might be attached to the back
of the letter" Thus the postage
stamp was born. and there came INTO
existence little scraps of paper which
are now collected by millions of men
and boys the word over, and some of

Letters From
Local Soldiers
Letter from, John wodder =

Dear Tom,
/ will never forget the morning
when we were first in the trenches.
1t was in the middle of September
and an hour after we had gotten in
the trenches the big guns began to
go. Gee! ! was scared to death, and
then the big drive for Metz was off.
We kept advancing for three days
until we reached st. Mihiel and then
we held the lines for some time. It
was in this sector that Thomas Toolan
was found missing with quite a few
more of the 311th boys. We left this
front thinking We were going to be
relieved for a rest but after hiking for
three days and two nights we found
ourselves on a worse front than we
had left. 1t was in the Argonne for
est and we held the lines on this
front until November /, when the
Americans made the big drive. And
believe me, we hiked through towns
and villages for two days and nights
before we met any resistance.
The huns had no chance with the
Americans. 1t was in this big drive
that Jimmie Christensen and Eddie
Franzblau and many others lost their
lives. We were about ten miles from
the German border when We were re-
lieved to go back for "a few days rest.
I will never forget the day, It was
November 10, and that night we were
surprised to hear that the armistice
was granted to Germany and the fir
ing would cease at IL A. NJ. on the
next day.
/ was also quite surprised to hear
about the big explosion back in AM
boy as well as about that dreadful
disease, the Spanish influenza.

derived from several thousand aver
among the known expenses according
to the fundamental principles to be
explained here.
All incomes. of whatever size. are
divided into four classes of expendi-
lures to maintain life and death. Ev-
cry person or family must spend mon
ey for food, clothing, shelter and
running expenses. For incomes large
enough to provide more than the ne
cessities of life a fifth class of expen-
d1tures is added. It's items are CLASH
fled as for Advancement" or higher
life"
Suppose the family income for five
persons, two adults and three chill
dren Is $1,000 a year., or 800 q
month. 1t must be divided In foul
parts Tor expenses. But the four
parts will not be EQUAL. Experience
and experiments with thousands of
families OF this type have proved to
economic experts that the biggest
item of expense in such families is
FOOD. 1t Is estimated that a family
of five will spend $50 each month for
o alone. Shelter (house rent. or
taxes and interest on property will
cost, on the average, $2S. Clothing is
estimated at SIT. Housekeeping or
running expenses average SIS each
month. This division absorbs the
whole income. If there is a fifth divi-
sion for higher life-it must come
from economies on other items, pref
erably from clothing and running ex-
penses.
Food, as the item most essential to
life and health should be the last on
which to practice economy. Food ad-
ministration experts estimate hat to
obtain the best balanced and most
n~ourishing diet every $40 spent for
food should be divided as follows:
Fol bread and cereals, $3.50; for
meat, eggs, and fish, 81: for fruit and
vegetables. 50: for milk, 81; for fats,
sweets, seasonings, etc. $1.50-total
$40.

which, because of their rarity. are
worth thousands of dollars.
An approach to the penny postage
OF Great Britain was made in 151,
when ~three-cent postage was adopted
In the Unitel States, the present war
time rate, for distances of less than
5000 miles. Adhesive postage stamps
had previously been introduced on this
side Of the Atlantic in 1S47. Letter
postage was reduced to two cents In
the Unitel States in 1888, but It was
until some years later that Canada
followed the example of her mother
country by instituting the penny pos
tage.

1t is q fortunate rule for seeking

This applies to politics more than to
