2 TIMELY NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS GETTYSBURG IS IN FIRST CLASS Increase in Stamp Sales Gives Post Office at Battle'eld Town Higher Grade Gettysburg, Pa., June 21.—Official announcement has been made that beginning with July 1 the Gettysburg post office will be designated as an office of the first class. With this distinction goes an increase in the j pay of all clerks t® $1,200. Ordi narily it would raise the salary of the postmaster and his assistant, but a resolution in Congress prevents all such salary increases during the period of the war. The new local rlassiflcation is occasioned by the fact that during the past year the sales of stamps and stamped paper } assed the mark of $40,000. which is j the requirement for a first-class of- ! lice. It fc"said that the present camp leeelves almost as much mail as the big camp last summer when it was at its height and had several times the number of men now here.
