WE OWN "U. 8. A."
The British post cfllce has had to,
. be a warning that the initials “U.
“A." in an address on an envelope
means United States of America, and
hat letters so addressed may be sent
this country in the hurry of mailing:
The trouble arose because some per-
mions used the initials when they wish
ed their letters sent into the Union or
’Bouth liirlca. The letters cattle to
this country instead. and the writers

floractice instead of the post oilice.
