passage of tbs boms rule, or local option bUl. U to practically certain that afteh legislation will be enacted.

THOSE NEW THREE

CENT STAMPS.

It's s: years since they were in style before—going out In US6 But they do say old styles always come hack Can't see that the "stickL. " la any better on the throe cent variety than It was on what we used to buy for

two cents

Say. the purple- color ought to catch the soulful females who affect violet Ink and lavender paper—what a color scheme they hare now? Some folks say that the new stamps hurt their eye—also their pockets. Well, they don't tear where they gre perforated any easier than Jh*J do right across a stamp—In that respect tfwy are like twos and ones. Wonder how the Father of His Coon try likes to be served up In purple Ink. after all these years of red sod green? The purple Ink Is just ramou&age ak you give up the astro cent, for the new three cent stamp won't take letter a bit farther than the old two

center did.
