■ii J * idn Im On lnit to a deficit In the poatoft'i o i appropriation, Postmaster Ooernl, Harry S. New, has ordered a curtail-int-nt of expepaea in uil puscofficat and in many placet tin- size of fie catur th* Services of the auxiliary carrier'hod to he disponed with Since April first there has been no appropriation for paying this carriot nt the local office. The auxiliary car- | i rler ulu> acts us parcels post carrier ( and makes the deliveries all over ' town. Therefore) it hits become necesr.aryi for the four regular mail carriers to deliver the parcel post par kages on their routes. The regular flrat and second class mull deliveries are so heavy that It Is Impossible for th»< carriers to deliver the parcels at the same time, so beginning yesterday an extra trip had to' he made In delivering the parcel post packages. The mail carriers secured catU from a I.umber of the business houses and started out to deliver the packages. The new appropriation which will provide for paying an auxiliary or parcel post carrier will not become effective until July Ist and until that time the city carriers will have to work on "double shifts" and without doubt they will be thankful when that time rolls around. —————o —— /" — N DO YOU REMEMBER WAY BACK WHENI • I The old locust trees that stood along the sidewalk where the Big Store bjock is and old man Wise cracked his whips around them?
