Free DeliUery Of
 City Mail Started

The people of Marianna have for two years been clamoring for the free delivery of city mail. A DOT tion of the city is now being gwen this service and as soon as an addi- tional carrier can be secured the en- tire city will be covered by the ser vice. John Verhoeyen is the only carrier now on duty. He is supply ing the downtown district. The ad- ditional carrier who will be put on in few days will take the residen- tial section.
 Under the postal regulations gov erning free city delivery the rate of postage on drop letters is increased from one to two cents. Postcards may be mailed as heretofore for one cent each, but all letters, whether for out-of-town or intown delivery must bear a two-cent stamp.

 ly normal conditions. The existing depression will work remedially. The manufacturer and merchant in these times must give all he has to his business to keep it going, not to say from going under, and the help is appreciating the situation and likewise giving more. Through these
 means already there has been an appreciable reduction in labor costs, though not yet in scales of pay; that will come, but l do not ex- pect it to be general during the present period of readjustment.

 To- The country is still optim istic and the people have more wealth in liquid form than prior to the war. Feverish extravagance is no longer in evidence, rather there is disposition to make pur- chases to supply needs and to in- vest on terms that appeal as req sonable and promising.
 II. The business men who have ! suffered through curtailment of [ credits are bitter in their criticism of the deflationary policy pursued by those who control the Federal Reserve system and there are dis tinct signs of pressure to obtain a reversal of that policy. Like every other political body, the Reserve Board is susceptible to the influence of public opinion; 1 fear when the pressure becomes strong enough it will yield and, maybe, counten- ance some further imitation even though it be dangerous.
 12. The political situation abroad is less threatening than at any time { since the war. The defeat of the Boisheviki in Poland, for the time 1 being, at least, seems to remove the ! menace of the red perial spread ( ing westward; the danger on this score is rather in the Near East s n Persia, Turkestan and India. There { are indications that the Bolshevik ( tyranny is weakening and another f Russian coup d'etat approaching. g The radical successes in Italy seem Q have been only temporary.
