Deadline 4:50 p. m.
For EastbOund Mail

Mail for east-bound train No. 4,
leaving here at $3.50 p m, should be
in the postoffice before 4:50 p. m.
each day, Walter A. Sather, Bismarck
postmaster, said Friday.
Sather said east-bound mail brought
to the postoffice after that time may
not leave Bismarck until the follow
ing morning. The new deadline is
necessitated by the change in the
Northern Pacific train schedules.
Postal employees collect mail from
the state capitol, Bank of North Da-
kota, and Bismarck hotels each at
ternoon in time to make this train,
but other residents and business men
must keep the deadline in mind If
they expect rapid service, Sather said.
The volume of east-bound mail each
afternoon makes it necessary for pos
tai employees to have an hour for
handling it, the postmaster said.

Washington, May 6.-(AP)-Pres-

legal authority to reorganize the gov
