INCREASED POSTAGE. POSITION IN THE BACKBLOCKS. A request that the surcharge on letters, because of the failure of the senders to affix extra postage, should not be charged for a few days yet, was made of the Postmaster-General by Mr. G. Witty. The member for Ricear ton suggested that many people in the backblocks wouM. not know of the regulation increasing the postal rates. Sir Joseph. Ward said he would be very glad to give consideration to the request, but it was no easy matter to introduce increased charges. If thev were to wait until all the people had been communicated with they would have to wait for perhaps three weeks. Ii was absolutely necessary, however, that all increased taxation should come into operation as quickly as possible. Keep on drinking "Desert Gold' Tea: keep on saving the "Camels.' Another Cash Prize Competition beinj arranged.
