POSTAL RATES

To the Editor of the "Norts-Cutya Datty News."

Sir,—My girl in America sends me weekly lotters, her postage hag been.02 cents gold. From next month she will have to pay -05 cents. gold, which is the equivalent of.094 cents Mex, silver.

My replies have cost me.02 cents gold—the new rate will be -15 cents Mex. silver. "So my letters to her cost me.056 cents Mex. silver more than hers to me.

The question is: Is she worth it? I think so, but the "official explanation" does not state whether this extra.056 cents Mex. Silver (big money) is retained by the C.P.O. or paid over to the Fostal Union.

I am, ete, M.S.
