How the boys are going to pay the bill for postage after next week is a mys tery. Sending eighteen or twenty sheets to your sweetheart several times a week is an expensive business at best, but now on November the second the government is to increase the postage rate from two cents per oz. to three cents per oz. ex cept on letters sent to the town in which they are mailed. On these the old rate prevails. Souvenior postcards must have a two-cent stamp, and the regular gov ernment postcard must have a one-cent stamp added.
