Post Office Notice

COMMENCING Saturday, Oct, %, 1921,
this office will be closed on Saturdays
at 4 p. M, and the hour for closing
the mail for Saint Thomas. Porto Rico
and the United States will be extended
to 4 p. m, instead Of 3 p. n. as at pres
ent. This change is occasioned by the
fact that owing to the continuous de
mand for service at the post Office win
dows on Saturdays until 5 p. ~, it is
practically impossible to divert the
necessary attention to closing and dis
patching the mail which should reach
Frederiksted at a certain hour, and en-
tails considerable time to make up.
While general business will be suspended
at 4 .. M. the public will gain one hour
additional in which to catch the outgoing
mail, and it is calculated that this ar
rangement should rebound to mutual
advantage for patrons and the service.
AS regards the mail from Frederiksted,
it is so arranged that this will be deliver
ed by 4 .. m The earnest cooperation
Of the public is invited in observing the
proper hours in which post office service
will be given patrons, and it must be
enjoined that, while it is sincerely de
sired to extend the maximum facilities
an accommodation to all patrons at all
times, demands for service when the
office is necessarily closed COR the taking
up of specific luties, manifestIy operate
against the eff cheney Of the service and
should be discouraged.

by the earth. 1t may have fallen to the
earth but if so its fall has not been re-
