MATTER; HO COST
Guthrie, Okla., April 19.
Editor Daily 8tar:—
In view of the fact there is a
very large amount of uadeliverable
matter, such as picture cards, news
papers, magazines, and other period-
ical publications, falling within the
term "waster paper" for which no
sa'e can be effected and is consign-
ed to the wast basket, the Pos.master
General has kindly and wisely order-
ed that the Postal l^awg and Regula-
tions be so amended that postmas-
ters may deliver u h matter to the
proper local municipal authorities
for distribution to hospitals, asy urns
or other charitable or reformatory in
stitutlons
CT-pon proper application I will be
pleased to deliver to the proper au-
thoirties such matter as it termed
"waste" for distribution for charita-
ble purposes. It often seems a shame
to destroy a great deal of this mat-
ter when it would give a Joy and a
pleasure to many persons, and like-
wise be a source of mental cultiva-
tion.
By kindly publishing this communi-
cation I fee! assured you wlH confer
a benefit upon many worthy •persons
in this community.
Respectfully,
W. M. McCOY
Postmaster.

MISS GUTHRIE IS TWENTY-THREE
Guthrie was born "growed up." Ten thousand people was on the
townsite in less than ten hours, and when she was 24 hours old there were
25,000 people here. Such a miracle is not recorded in history of any time
or clime. That old mule of Joe's strayed away early the first afternoon,
and returned at noon the next day to find a busy, buzzing city where he
grazed on green grass the night before.
Before Guthrie was 24 hours old she had held a "town meeting"
which was attended by state senators, congressmen and ex-governors from
several states, and which elected and placed in office a mayor and a
council of a full grown city.
And Guthrie never deceived anybody. She has from that first sunrise
made good on every proposition, and today she is one of the most sub-
stantial cities of the great state. Her business and citizenship standards
are the best and highest. She has today factories, jobbers, colleges, uni-
versities, railroads, electric street railways, noted mineral wells, in fact she
is today one of the most promising business and commercial centers
in the whole state.
