Letters Are
Returned To Local

Great confusion seems to exist in the
public mind in regard to the new post
& rates that went into effect July /.
The local postoffice had TO return To-
600 letters to the senders Tuesday and
Wednesday on account OF insufficient
postage. -
The misunderstanding applies almost
entirely to first-class letters for deliv-
cry in the city, c. W. Metcalf, the post
master, saws. The rate on letters to be
delivered in the city has always been
2 cents. This rate was not advanced
when the war rates were applied, conse-
quently there was no reduction on this
class of letters when the old rates were.
restored.
Mr.. Metcalf says that many persons
have the impression that all postage
rates were reduced l cent July l, which
accounts for the error. The correct
postage for a first-class letter mailed
here to be delivered in the city is 2
cents, he says.

WHAT THE Y. w. C.. A. MEANS TO

The tamult and the shouting cease,
The captains and kings depart

The captains and kings depart"
And the boys come home and khaki
turns to blue serge and the little town
settles down into the regular routine
of iittle-town life.
But the little-town girl whose every
thought has been of big things for the
last two or three years, who has
thrown herself into Red Cross work.
Liberty Loan drives. who has done all
kinds of things TO release men for
the army-what of her? She has be-
COME citizen Of the world. must she
go back to the small-town interests
of aate-bellum days? Must the end of
the tumult and the shouting bring her
dead caim-a vacuum? Must she
become an unhappy, restless member
OF her community? Not if new inter
ests can be given her. And that is
what the Y. W. c. A tries to do and
in Shich it needs the cooperation of
the community.
The Interests of the Y. W. C. A. are
the interests of girls and young wo-
men all over the world; and some of
that breadth communicates itself to
the local groups. At the Y. W. Centre,
s girl may study stenography and fit
herself for business. She may study
French. She may attend the most
popular classes of all, those in domes-
tie science and learn to cook as we'll
almost as mother; TO sew, TO can fruit
and vegetables she raised in her gar
den.
