Several from Askov went to Hinck-
ley Tuesday to attend the meeting of
the County Considerations of Co-Ops.
Routine business matters were dis
cussed and it was planned to have
a series of meetings in the very near
future to stimulate interest for the
organization which has been rather
dormant during it's first year Of ex-
istance. Joseph Gilbert and George
w. Jacobson, representatives from the
Midland Cooperative Oil Association,
were present at the meeting and both
gave enthusiastic talks on co-opera-
ton. The attendance at the meeting
was not as large as had been ex-
pected, but the officers hope to re-
vive the interest with the series of
meetings that they are planning.
One of C. Eriksen's big trucks fig
ured in serious accident on the pave
ment near Carlton Tuesday evening
at about 7:30. Arnold Jensen was
driving the truck south on the pave
ment with load that he had just
picked up at Carlton. A few miles
out of Carlton, Arnold noted a car
coming toward him on the wrong side
Of the road, but naturally expected
the driver to swing over to his own
side; however, the approaching car
came straight at him and to avoid
the impending crash Arnold swung
his truck out on the right shoulder,
but the approaching car did likewise
with the result that there was head
on collision. Arnold was alone and
was not injured in the crash in spite
of the fact that the truck is badly
wrecked. There were two occupants
in the car; they were both seriously
injured and were taken to a hospital
for treatment; their car was demol-
ished.
A little information at this time
relative to postage rates may come in
a W W.
Christmas rush will be in full swing
in all post offices. In this connec-
ton it can be stated that any and all
kinds of post cards require only one
cent, regardless of distance if within
the postal system; foreign countries
are in most cases three cents. Greet
ing cards, upon which there is no
personal matter written, mailed in
un-sealed envelopes, require one and
one-half cents postage, regardless of
distance; there may be written on
such cards the words Merry Christ
mas" or words to that effect; but the
envelope must not be sealed. Christ
mas cards inclosed in sealed enve-
lopes take the same rate as ordinary
first class mail, which is three cents
for each ounce or fraction of ounce
If the letter is to go to another post
office; if the letter is for delivery
through a call or lock box at the
same post office as it is mailed and
it is deposited in the post office by
the sender then the rate on such
letter is only one cent; if letter is
mailed on rural route by a patron
OF that route to another patron on
the same route the rate is also one
cent; if letter is mailed on a rural
route to patron on different route
from the same post office the rate is
two cents; if letter is mailed by a
patron on a rural route for delivery
at the local post office through a
call or lock box the rate is two cents
and visa versa, if delivered at the
post office for delivery on a rural
route from that post office the rate
is two cents. Do your mailing early
and avoid the rush, and thus make
sure that your friends will receive
your greetings before the big Holiday.
