POSTAGE RATES DROP
Two Cents for Letters and One
Cent for Cards

The old-time red postage stamps,
sold at two cents and bearing a
picture of George Washington.
has come back into service again
as the leading stamp for first-class
mail. The change came Tuesday
morning, when two.cent postage
for letters and one cent for cards
went into effect for the FIRST time
in two years
Three. cent envelopes and two
cent postcards, held BY the public,
can be. redeemed any time this
month. However. there will be
no redemption of three-cent
stamps.
When the three cent rate came
into effect many years had elapsed
since it had cost three cents to
send letter through the mails. ID
restoring the two-cent rate Uncle
Sam is pursuring policy that is
almost as old as the government
itself and which has been inter.
rupted only in cases of greatest
emergency. From the time Of the
original establishment of the post
office department, more than
century and a quarter ago, the
tendency has been toward decreas-
ing rather than increasing rates.
Only once before in the history
OF the country had the government
found it necessary to increase the
postage rate. This was In 1912 to
meet the expenses Of the second
war with Great Britain. In that
year the ordinary letter postas
was doubled, the increased rate
continuing for a period of four
years before the former rate was
restored. Then, in 1917, the in
crease was purely an emergency
measure to help the government
in defraying the expenses OF the
war.

WOMEN NOT VOTING
AttOrney-0eneral Thompson Der
Iivers Important Opinion

The following from Chattanooga

that should they do so they would
be ia comtemp of the court of

rage act passed BY the legislature
as unconstitutional.
The Hamilton county election
commission would also be 10 con-
tempt IL it should allow the women
to participate in the election.
Gen. Thompson stated that he
had rendered an opinion to Judge
Staples of Roane county, at Rock
wood, that women could not vote
ia the city election, but it is under.
stood that Notwithstanding this
opinion lockwood suffragists par
ticipated ID Saturdays election.
The decision Of Gen. Thompson
will prohibit Of 1000 women from
voting in the Chattanooga contest,
and may have some bearing on the
result. There are shree candidates
for city commission, with Two to
be named, the other commissions
ers having been elected ia the prl-
mary last month. The race lies
between Emil Wassman, former
county tax assessor; Ed Heron,

nearby. The president was silent
as he gazed at the disappearing
shores of France.

PEACE TREATY SIGNED

the great document 10 the Hall of
Mirrors, at Versaills, France, with

was one of the bloodiest and most
Obstructive 10 the history Of the

WARTIME PROHIBITION
Battered and Bruised john Bar
IeycOrn Struggled TO Last

John Barleycorn, battered and
bruised, is struggling on, even
after wartime prohibition becomes
effective. 10 some places he re-
fuses to give up the ghost, and In
violation of law is still doing BUSH
ness, and will test the laws TO the
very last.
Last Monday. at midnight, war
time prohibition went into effect,
aud the United States is now on
the water wagon. Congress has
failed to pass any laws to enforce
tile measure and just how. long the
dry smell will last, as the war has
ended. cannot be told at this stage
Of the game. The president claims
to have no authority to set aside
the wartime ban. and some think
it must last until after the army
is demobilized. and SO here we are
in the midst of dry spell and no
way Of knowing how long it will
last.
Ii the tide should change and
wet spell ensue it could not last
longer than next January, when
national prohibition becomes eff
fectiVe.
