Plenty Of Advance Notice, So That

Before long, you may discard the
purple stamp and return to the nice,
cheaper, red postage stamp on your
letters.
Postmaster J. F. Elder has re-
ceived notice that after July /, and
not before, the postage rate on let
tiers and postal cards will be back
to the old price before the war.
The postmastecs havs beer receiv-
ing bulletins Lately which ninted at
a change back to the old rates, and
now the official notice comes.
The postoffice regulations en- first
class mail will after July be the
same as they were up 10 October z,
1917, when the three-cent rate went
into effect That Is in brief, letters
under one ounce in weight will be
sent for two cents and postal cards
can be mailed for one cent postage
Early notice is given Of the change
in rates so that the factories and
business houses who purchase large
quantities Of stamps and stamped en-
yelope at a time can regulate their
supply SO that by July /, they will
have no three-cent stamps on hand.
The notice issued is as follows:
The Official Notice.

postage on first class mail will be
reduced.
Your attention is respectfully in
vited to the following official infor-
nation just received from the post
office department:
Effective July L. 1919, the rate Of
postage on all matter of the first
class will revert to the rate as in
force October 2, 1917, that. is. two
cents per ounce or fraction thereof
on letters and other first class mall

cards and post cards.
1t is the desire of the department
that three-cent envelopes and two
cent postal cards should not be car
ried over by firms and individuals
after July 1. 1919. Therefore care
should be taken to order only such
amounts of these supplies as it is
certain can be utilized before the
above mentioned date. In calling at
this time to the proposed change, all

so regulate their supply that there
need be no stock of the increased
rate carried over.
The department is emphatic that
special attention be directed to the
fact that no change in Postage rate
is effective before July 1, 1919.

MUST RATlFY TREATY BEFORE
 PROHIBITION LIFTS-PALMER

Washington. Sept. 30.-Although the War Department declared in a statement today the incidents of war and the process of demobi!i- zation are at end" war time pro- hibition cannot be lifted until af- the ratification of the peace treaty, in the opinion of Atty. Gen. Palmer.
 The prohibition law provides il shall remain in force until after the termination of ghe war, and the demobilization of the army. MT. Palmer has held that the state of war does not end until the peace treaty has been ratified. President Wilson took similar position in asking Congress early in the year to repeal the war time prohibition law, in so far as it affected light wines and beer.
 The War Departments state ment as to the end of demohili- zation was made in connection with an announcement that officers of the regular army were about to be returned to their normal peace time rank and that the 10000 em- ergency officers stil in the ser vice must be discharged in order to reduce the commissioned person nel to the 18,000 authorized by a recent act of Congress.

THE OIL GAMES CHANGES

There are in the neighborhood of 1000 oil companies, operating or organized for operation in the North Texas fields today. In forming a prophecy of the ultimate fate of the majority let us scan page from the -s-sk of oil history:
 During the boom in the Spindle Top field, near Beaumont, in 1901 there were 192 companies operating there. Of these companies five are in existence today, Profitable oil production IS bigger money busi- ness, necessitating an organization as complex and competent as that required to operate great rail wy system.
 -he following classes of peoples have made and are making money out of the oil boom: Those who were sitting on the ground where oil was found and have received a tremendous price for the lease of their property; the flash promoters who have taken advantage of the countrywide excitement aroused by the stories of quick fortunes made overnight in oil; the men in the field doing brokerage busi- ness in leases; other-in the field buying and selling leases; the mar buying and selling leases; the merchants in towns and cities-in or nearby the fields; people in CT near the fields with plenty of luch, or good, quick sources of infor- nation, who have called the turn on the rise and fall of stocks; labor of all kinds in and near the fields, and the big propulsing companies of loIg standing.
 To dozens of oil men 1 put this question:
 eff were an ordinary citizen with a little money to invest living in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston or Podunk, and were to nuy oil stock without other information than that which 1 could get from ad. CT ras,Eg. how mucL chance would I have to land on stock that would .ive me a norr..al gambling break?"

BURNING MONEY
lBy Walt Masonl


 Life is gay and blithe and sunny since the peace dove hit the breeze; every one is burning money Just as though it grew on trees. I insist on thrift and saving. but there's none to heed my words; iohn- nies say that I stop raving and throw money to the birds. Men are drawing princely wages and their breasts are filled with mirth. and they jeer foreboring sages who pre- dict a day of dirth; but that day will come as surely as tomorrow's sun will rise; things won't boom along forever as they're booming now, my friends; and the man who's truly clever saves as ably as he spends. It is patient to the know ing in expansive times like those that the kopecks won't be grow ing always on the shrubs and trees. There will come a day of trouble, when this boom is left behind, and the kopeck and the ruble will be mighty hard to find; happy then the lads whose wages have been safely placed in brine, who obey the seers and sages, when the saw ing graft was fine. And how sick will be the mortals who like spend thrifts now behave. who reply with leers and chortles when we call on them to save.
