NO DROP LETTERS
Carrier System Does Not Permit Drop
 ., Letters as Is Believed

"A number of residents here in the city are taking the privilege to them selves of using the one cent drop let ter system that is mailing a letter within the city with a one cent stamp affixed. This city does not have the drop letter system but has the carrier system instead. During the war let. ters could be mailed within the city for two cents ad all outside for three cents. The war being over does not change the charge on letters in the city, it still being two cents, but the charge on outside mail has been re- duced to two cents. It seems to >-be the opinion of some of the residents that the reduction on the original three cent postage worked the same with letters mailed for city delivery. Anyone trying to get a letter de- hvered on one cent can find their at the post office when they call

Sunday noon, June lst, brought to a
successful close the Young Mems He

teams indicate that nearly 200 new mem
bers we're enrolled during the drive. But
the qualification of the Young Mems He

We want to take this opportunity to
express our deepest gratitude to each
and all who have helped make our cam

and for their generosity in granting an
opportunity to our teams to explain the
cause of the Y. M. H. A.
To our 200 newly enrolled members
who have cast their lot with the Y. M.
H. A. and who have pledged to help sup
port and work for the cause that will
make better Jewish youth.
To the American Jewish World, with
out whose support we surely would not
have been able to carry Our cause and
campaign to the degree that we did. We
want to express our sincerest apprecia-
ton of the American Jewish Worlds
support in our behalf. We can safely
say that the American Jewish World is
factor in our lives that will make all
impression and will tend toward the bet
terment of the community, and great
help which the Jews of Minneapolis
must watch over and support.

 "The Sign Invisible" is from the pen of the noted author, Anthony P. Kelly. who took for his theme the punishment which is sure to follow mans defiance of the ever present and dominant powers of Providence and nature. It is Q First National Exhibitors Circuit attraction. which gives it the endorsement of a body of tho most discriminating theatre owners in America, who bought 1t in order to secure 1t fer their own biz theatres.
 The story deals of the adventures of n dissipated young New York doc tor among the simple people of a re mote Canadian trading post. Those who enjoy the big. virfie type of pho toplay, the kind that is full of ac ton and mirrors human emotions in the rough, the kind in which men make their own laws and wofnen's love in it's own justification. should not fail to see this picture which is indeed most gripping.
 The big cast includes Mitchell Lewis, Victor Sutherland. Edward P Rosen,an. Mabel Juline Scott. .-sil oi whom played in "The Barrisr"-- Heddo Nova. William A. Williams and a number of other well known screen artists.
 It is unques.ionably one of the best screen plays of the year.
