$135,927.70.
Receipts during November, 1914,

Increase, $21,921.07.
AH records were broken by the
Omaha postofflce; when the business
cf the month of November was
counted up and compared with that
of previous months.
It was found that the business was
f21.9Sl.07 greater than in the same
month Isst year, an increase of 19.2
per cent.
The greatest lnrrriue ever recorded be
fore In the postofflce bus1nes was only
U l per cent.
r-ost master John C. Wharton wes
harry. boisterous, hilarious. He bubbled
and effervesced.
v Spread the Glad New.
"Spread It In bit capitals across the
front paxe of your paper," he declaimed.
"Never before has such an Increase been
recorded. It was not even heard of or
dreamed of. Give the (lad news to the
world."
To what do you attribute thli great
Increase T" he was asked.
. "ririt, to an efficient postmaster," de
clared the postmaster, with a Joyous
smile. "Neit to courteous treatment of
patrons and prompt dispatch of malls.
Now let the world know of the excel
lence of the Omaha postofflce."
T0 you attribute the Increase In busi
ness to the excellence of your product,
like other successful advertisers?" he
was asked. "The stamps sold here aren't
and better than those sold In other post
offices, are thavT"
. "Well," said Jawn C, "I rather think
crar stamps have a little better color and
the mucilage on them, I think. Is better
than that found on stamps sold by our
competitors. I know I can fully recom
mend our stamps to live perfect satis
faction. Once tried, you will take no
others. The kind you have always bought.
Aeoapt no Imitations."
But. taken seriously, the postofflce re
ceipts are usually a splendid Index of
the business of the community and an
Increase la taken to show greater bust-
activity.
Guests Gather -Up
Souvenirs of Stay
at the Fontenelle
Clerk H. !!. Wllhlte at Hotel Fonte
nelle was busily engaged In fastening
room numbers on a lot of keys.
"What's the big IdcaT" he was anked.
"Oh, Just replacing souvenirs carried
away by guests," he explained. "We have
to do It regularly."
It developed that keys and the neat
little metal markers attached to them
are not the only things carried away
by hotel guests, accidentally or other
wise. "Match safes, ash trays, pens, Ink,
surplus stationery and even candlesticks
and electric desk lighting fixtures mys
teriously disappear from rooms quite
frequently," the day clerk said. "Some
guests of the house seem to like to take
away a little souvenir or memento ot
their stsy with us."
