Service To Certain
Countries Halted

The uncertainty of conditions in
Europe necessitates continual changes
in the mail service. No definite
dates of sailing are available and no
estimate on time required for de-
livery can be given. However, the
safest and quickest method of trans
porting first class mail to Europe is
via air mail, the cost of which is 80
cents per ~ ounce. Do not inclose
money or other values in first class
mail; in many instances it is unlaw-
full, and it is doubtful that it will
reach the addressee.
During the month of November it
is common practice for many to send
gifts via parcel post to European
destinations so as to have them ar
rive there for Christmas. In this
connection it is well to recall that
parcel post service to many countries
is temporarily suspended.
Countries on the suspended list
change from time to time, but at the
present time the postal department
states that parcel post can not be sent
to the following countries: Alden, AL
bania, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, 'Belgi-
UNI, British Somaliland, Bulgaria,
Channel Islands, Cyprus, Czechoslo-
vakia, Danzig, Denmark, Egypt, Es-
thonia, Ethiopia, Finland, French So
maitland, Germany, Greece, Hungary,
Iran, Iraq, Italy and Italian colonies.
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Palestine, Po-
land, Rumania, Saudi Arabia, Sweden,
Syria and Republic of Lebanon,
Trans-Jordan, Turkey, Union of So
Wet Socialist Republics, Vatican City
State and Yugoslavia.

Turn Down Stassen,
Endorse Petersen

In the fall campaign of 1893 a
group of voters organized as the In
dependent Progressive Voters of Min
nesota and endorsed Harold E. Stas-
sen for governor on his campaign
promises. With the type of legis-
lation sponsored by the governor that
group has now turned against him
and endorsed Hjalmar Petersen for
governor. The Range Facts of Vir-
ginia reports it thus:
"Only two members of the indie
pendent Progressive Voters of Min
nesota voted against endorsement
of Hjalmar Petersen for governor
and the Roosevelt Wallace presi-
dental ticket. They were DR.. c. B.
Hutchinson, Duluth, and Louis O.
Anderson, Osakis, both contending
the organization should exist as a
fact-finding political group and not
a campaign organization for any
candidate.
"The In d ep e n n S, who were
formed in 1888 when the Farmer
Labor ranks split over the candidacy
of Petersen and Benson, met in the
Duluth VI MICA Saturday afternoon
and evening to map 1910 campaign
plans.
"They put up fight against Com
munist control within the FL party
and gave their support to Harold E.
Stassen two years ago, but now get
much comfort in talking about their
success in having Petersen as the
FL gubernatorial candidate this
year."
