NO CHANGE IN
MAIL SERVICE

No doubt hundreds of Watervillc
people will be much plea sed to hear
that there will continue to be two
deliveries of l.ail in the future in
stead of one. as was reported last
week. This continuance of excellent
service was brought about by the eff
forts of Postmaster Edgar Brown,
who when it was found that the aux
lliary service must be removed on
account of orders from Washington.
got in immediate touch with the hcad
department and yesterday received
notice to continue as before.
1t is understood that the govern
ment carries on the postoiiice work
and makes its appropriations from a
budget system. and the large in
crease in mails throughout the coun-
try- over the past year required add
tional help. which called for more
money and which resulted in the APP
preparation falling short.
Mr.. Brown said yesterday that the
Waterville office during the past
month increased it's business over
S1100 more than what was done in
March 1922. 1t is expected that be-
fore long "A boxes will be added to
the large number which are in the
office at the present time which will
remedy the shortage to some extent.

The First and Last
of It Among the
April Pranksters

The first April Fool prank to occur
in Waterville is reported to have
made its appearance at exactly ten
minutes past two Sunday morning
Restaurant Keeper Moses having
nothing cSpeci Il to do 20 keep HIM
busy at the above time, and who
wanted to cause a little excitement
wandered up to the central fire sta
ton and by vigorously punching the
night bell awoke Firemen Jake
Clarke, and Blunt from their dreamy
siumbcrs and brought the mdown to
find out what the noise was about
Davis and Brown, however, decided
that it would take more than the
ringing Of a night bell to cause them
to venture forth in the frigid atmos-
phere Of the early morning. and calm
Nv turned over and started their
shores anew.
The fircmen who were called out
decided that they would not let a
restaurant keeper get the jump on
them so last evening they hungerlly
entered Noses chop house and Or
dered everything from soup to nuts
and after eating everything but the
paper napkins, calmly handed Prop
Moses a check for the feed signed by
April Fool.
