DENNY MILL SOLD

A deal was closed last week by
which the Denny Mill is sold to c. P.
Hewitt and W. c. Galloway.
These gentlemen have taken pos
session and are planning to run the
mill up to full capacity full "a
hours II necessary to supply the de-
mands for their product.
The Denny mill has always en-
joyed the reputation Of making a
superior grade Of flour but poor
health kept Mr.. Denny from keeping
the mill open all the time.
Mr.. Denny Will return to Iowa,
believing that the lower altitude
will be beneficial to his health.
The new owners appear to be wide
awake after the business.
They are starting out right by ad-
vertising their purpose In The En-
terprise this week. and we predict
they will make the mill profitable
to themselves and, big benefit to
the town and community.
We should like TO see them sell
the flour and feed needed by all the
peope along the Burlington road
from Sterling to Cheyenne. We
can see no good reason why they
should not.

HOW:
POSTAGE METER MACHINE
DOES AWAY WITH WASTE.

A postage meter machine, first
Of its kind authorized by the
United States P0stollce depart
ment for metering and printing
postage directly on mall, was re-
Gently put into effect In the mail
ing department Of one Of the
great banks Of New York city.
The postage meter 10 licensed
for use under special rules issued
by the United States Postofice
department. Permit to use the
meter must Be secured from the
third assistant postmaster gen.
era1. division Of classification.
Washington. d. G. Application
must be made through the local
postmaster on postohice form.
The machines are leased to
users by the manufacturer. The
lessee purchases the amount Of
postage and the postofIice de-
partment marks the amount on
the register Of the machine. For
example, should 500 worth Of
postage be bought, the meter
would be placed at 5000. which
would designate the amount In
value Of twO-cent stamps. When
these are used the meter II then
taken back to the posto6ice to
be reset at the amount desired
by the user.
The register door II locked and
sealed by the postOfIice after
each setting. Each meter prints
Impressions corresponding to the
denomination and color Of the
adhesive stamp for which 1t
takes the place.
The inventor says that 1t Il
mechanically impossible to waste
metered postage, rs the register
will not record unless an. Inn
print Is made on . piece Of mai. !
A set Of interchangeable steei
type for the date and hour Of
mailing Is furnished with each
meter. With stamps many thous-
ands Of dollars are wasted annu-
ally.
