PO "Bargain" Rates Are Attracting Few Takers mailers' are not, bargain-hunters, at least not yet, according to Postmaster Leo Ford, Though ratea on the most- used classes of postage will climb a penny with the beginning of August on Friday, there is no great upsurge in mailing so far at the local post picture may change later in the week, officials at the post office believe. They are prepared to be swamped wtih the first-of-the-month bills before midnight Thursday when the rates change. While the lobby at the post.of- fice is usually locked at 11:30 each night, it will remain open until the stroke of 12 midnight Thursday and officials won't be surprised if traffic there is heavy late in the evening. Ford has received orders that any mail posted in boxes which have 4)ickups before midnight will go at the old rate, 2 cents on postcards, 3 cents on first class letter mail and 6 cents on air mftil. Each of these rates will climb 1 cent after midnight and additional postage will have to be paid by the addressee.

Addressees will receive one break. The 5-cent payment which must be made to receive short paid mail will "be suspended for three months until patrons get used to the new rates. It will be resumed Nov. 1. The post office department will get a break, too.

Mail is usually at its lightest in July and August SO' there will be fewer pieces on which to collect additional postage. Circular mail is expected-to be heavier within the next few days because the rates on this third-class matter increase almost 50 per cent. But since most of it is mailed under permit and the rates' on permit maU do not increase until Jan. 1, no gi-eat volume is anticipated at this The office is doing a good business in the sale of 4-cent stamps and also the 1-centers to go with postage mailers have on hand. Janesville post office 's vending machine is not ready for the change in rates.

It will have to be completely readjusted to han die the 4-cent stamps and this will not be done by Friday. Patrons, may, howeW, purchase two of the 2-centers or a 3-cent and a 1-cent stamp from the vender. Postmaster Ford went on the air Monday to discuss the new rates with Ed Hadley on WCLO's Talk of the Town program. Mrs. Fred Burton Mrs.

River St. Art Professor Sued by Wife Prof.

William Franklin Boggs, 43, head of the art department of Beloit College and professor of art there, was named defendant in a divorce suit filed Tuesday in Circuit Court here. Mrs. Mary Ross Boggs, 38, charging cruel and inhuman treatment, alleges that Prof. Boggs treats her as a "convenience rather than an object of love and affection." They were married in Wynnewood, Dec. 21, 1940, and are the parents of four children.

Their home is on Hawthorn Drive, Rte. 3, Beloit. In her complaint, Mrs. Boggs said that her husband has "regularly demanded that the plaintiff evince and portray an unrealistic standard of perfection in every sphere of activity in which she engaged, including her care of the children, general housekeeping, entertaining and other activities, and continuou.sly and unwarrent- edly criticized her for allegedly failing to meet standards of perfection which he demanded," As additional allegations, Mrs. Boggs said that her husband has "regularly engrossed himself in his work" and thus deprived her ol society and companionship and that his "work is more important to him than his that he has embarrassed her by criticizing her in front of their children and friends, thus making it difficult to maintain authority with the children and damaging her social relationships; and that he has "treated her as a convenience," in personal relations.

All this, she says, has made her distraught and nervous. She asks custody of the cbildren, alimony and support for the family.
