 BIDS FOR PRINTING
 STAMPED ENVELOPES

Postmaster R. B. Smyer received in- structions from the postoffice depart ment yesterday to ask for bids for the printing of two-cents under the three cent stamped envelopes and the print ing of one-cent under the stamps on two-cent post cards, which were used during the war. Although nothing definite was given in the letter" said MT Smyer. "I am of the opinion that they will do this and thus enable us to use all of the stamped envelopes and cards which we have on hand and which will have to be destroyed unless some plan is devised whereby they can be utilized. Of course, when the pre- war postal ra-cs went back into effect, we had a large supply of this mat ter on hand, and l believe this will now be used"
