POSTAL RATES TO
INCREASE APRIL Is
REGISTERED MAIL AND THIRD
CLASS TO BEAR HIGHER
POSTAGE RATES

The main provisions of the amend
ed postal law which goes into effect
April Is make a number of changes
in rates and classes of mail matter
Rates for postal cards, exclusive OF
government cards, will in the future
be two cents per ounce. The rate
for government cards will remain
the same and there will be no other
changes in first class rates.
The new third class will include
what was formerly the third and
fourth class up to eight ounces in
weight. The new fourth class will
include matter from eight ounces to
70 pounds in the first, second and
third zones and up to so pounds in
the remaining zones. The new third
class rate will be 1 u cents for each
two ounces up to eight ounces. Books,
catalogs, seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots,
scions and plants will remain at the
old rate of l cent for every two
ounces.
The fourth class rates will remain
the same as the previous rates for
everything over eight ounces except
first and second class, with one ex-
ception. This is, that all parcels
except those mailed on rural routes
and plainly marked that way, will
pay service charge of two cents
for each parcel. An added service
feature which has been added in the
case of parcels is the Especial hand
ling" idea. If 25 cents additional
postage is added besides the required
postage and the service charge and
the package is marked Especial hand
ling it will receive the same care
as first class mail.
The Wolf Point postofice has sent
in its order for the issues of u !
cent stamps but has not yet received
them, but is anticipating that they
will be here by April Is, when the
new regulation goes into effect.
In addition to these charges an
other order concerning registry, in
surance, c. o. D. fees, and. return
receipts has been issued by the post
master general. The registry lee Tor
all domestic registered mail, includ-
ing the island possessions has been
from 10 cents to Is cents.
A charge of cents will be made for
return receipts.
It is estimated by postal officials
that approximately $64,O00,0O0 will
be raised by these increases. This
sum will be used to care for the in
creased pay which will be given the i,
postal clerks. The increased pay is
1t the rate Of $500 for each clerk
of the grade.
A portrait of President Harding
ldorns the new u cent stamps. A
y cent stamp carrying the profile
# Nathan Hale will be sold to care
or those who have a supply of 1
ent stamps on hand.

COUNTY WAR
AGAINST WILD OATS
COUNTY AGENT ASKS ORGAN
lied EFFORT TO ERADICATE
EXPENSIVE PEST

Roosevelt county this year is con-
ducting wild oats eradication cam
paign to prevent enormous losses both
in dockage and crop production that
have been increasing each year in
sections of the county where no effort
has been made to combat this weed
on community basis. The main
reason why attention is being at
tracted on these control measures is
not so much because of the heavy
losses experienced at the present
time but on account of its increas-
ing seriousness where no control
measures are being taken and also
because of the fact that experience
has demonstrated to our Dakota and
Minnesota farmers that there are
thousands of bushels of wheat being
raised with more than Is pounds
dockage per bushel.
Costs In Many Ways
Besides the big loss taken in the
dockage, threshing bill, in paying the
freight on dockage, and hauling dock
age to market, there is serious loss
in decreased yield per acre which in
dry years, or even normal years,
means the loss of profit in wheat
production. In other words wild oats
are farm robbers; they reduce the
standards Of living, create discon-
tent and discomfort which follow a
oss to the farming enterprise.
Can Be Handled
Wild oats can be combatted if
handled on an organized basis. How
ever, it is useless for one farmer to
ry to keep them controlled when
us neighbor is paying little or not
my attention to control methods. The

Point, and under section 5000 sub
division Is, I hereby give my reason
therefor:
The ends Of justice were subserved
when the man paid his fine; he was
sober when released from Jail; he
IS a hard working man and and has
n his custody a lot Of horses which
require his attention; to keep him in
Jail 10 days days the cost of his
BOARD would be about SIS, and he

hitting the Jail sentence of ten days.
