MAY ALTER ADDRESS
Postal Authorities Bring up Old
Plan to Change Mode Of
Addressing Letters
WOULD PUT STATE FIRST

It is probable that new method Of
addressing letters and all mail matter
will be inaugurated soon. The new
plan is practically the, reverse of the
present form and from present indica-
tons would be a good one.
If the new rule is carried into effect
the addresses on the letters or other
mail matter will be practically upside
down. The name of the state will
come first, then the city and finally
the name and street number. AL
though it may take the public some
time to get used to the change it is
probable that when it is carried out
the public will realize its usefulness.
Many persons have sent letters or
other mail to friends and after wait
ing patiently for anIanswer:for some
time. have written again. They in
varia bly, get a reply to the effect that
the first communication had just been
received, as it had gone astray IN the
postal department. It is said that
under the proposed new method the
mistakes and delays in the delivery
of mails would be reduced to a mini
mum.
The new plan would be especially
helpful to railway postal clerks in
sorting the mail. These men have to
work like beavers in the mail cars in
order to sort the mail. With the pres
ent method they have to read the
entire address before they find what
state the letter is going to. After
the state has been found the next
clerk has to find out the city, by read
ing the entire address and SO on.
In many instan noes the clerk, who is
working at top-speed simply looks at
the name of the city and throws the
letters into the bag for the mail Of
the state in which the city is. It
ha opens frequently that there are
cities of the same name in different
states and consequently the letters
often go to the wrong place and have
to be returned.
Under the new rule the postal clerk
could find the name of the state, as
the first line Of the address, then
the city, and ais work would end
there. The city department could
then find the street and number and
everything would run like clockwork.
An example Of the proposed new
form follows:

broken out in Kenosha again and

being reported to the police Office and
the city health department. At the
present time there are nine cases of
typhoid at the Kenosha Hospital, and
nearly all of the patients are desper-
ately i'll. It was thought that the re-
turn of the cold weather would put an
end to the epidemic, but the Snperin-
tendent of the hospital states that all
CT the nine patients have been re-
ceived during the past week.
Many cases of the disease have
been reported from all sections of the

KICK ON SCHEDULE
sheboygan Team in Lake Shore League
Not Satisfied

Not Satisfied
1t is possible that another effort
will be made to make changes in the
schedule Of the Lake Shore Baseball
League Of which the Kenosha team is
a member, as the Sheboygan manage
ment is not entirely satisfied with the
games allotted to that city, and prom
ise to make a kick. The Kenosha
manager is entirely satisfied with the
schedule, and Sheboygan will get no
support from this city. A meeting of
the League will be called in the near
future, at which time Sheboygan will
be allowed to make a formal ccu-
plant.
The Manitowoc team promises to be
one of the most dangerous teams in
the League, as report from that city
states that the manager of the team
has signed George Wilson, the negro
pitcher who pitched for Sheboygan
/ last season. He is rated IS one of the
best pitchers and the hardest hitter in
amateur ranks.

AnseI's Wild West Shows.

A large crowd witnessed the Ansel
Wild West show and Congress of Rough
Riders in their tent north of town Wed
nesday night and enjoyed good per-
formance.
Marcia Valdez, accredited as the
worlds greatest horseback rider, mount
ed "Sky Scraper' Wednesday night and
the audience was treated to an exhibi-
ton of bucking that was hard to beat.
The horse began bucking the moment
he felt the weight of the rider in the
saddle and kept it up for several min
utes. A feature of the performance was
the unsuccessful attempt of Mr.. Gibson
Pocatello Indian, to ride the famous
brndle bucking bull. Gibson lasted
but few seconds.
Memories of Buffalo Bills Wild West
Show were recalled by a realistic per-
formance in the way of hanging horse
thief. A lone cowboy goes to sleep on
the prairie, horse thief sneaks up in
the dark and steals the pony. The COW
boy awakes and summons help. The
chase begins with plenty of shooting,
resulting in the capture of the thief who
is strung up to tree.
Mayor Mcclure, champion broad
syordsmen Of the world, travels with
this show, and gave an intere sting exhi-
bition. He slices potatoes on the neck
and face of the lady attendent, cuts
through laths balanced on the tops of
bottles without disturbing the contents.

Hardy Ornamental Shrubs

One of the most satisfactory Of large
shrubs for planting in home grounds
is the grand old SNOWFALL" There
are several varieties of vibrubum, as
it is known botanically. The Jap
anese SNOWFALL is smaller than the
common American variety, but is a
fne boomer. The ''highbush cram
berry" closely resembles the SNOWFALL
in it's foliage, and has an additional at.
traction in its brilliant clusters Of red
berries which sometimes remain
through the winter. In the autumn
its foliage turns to bright colors,
which remain until freezing weather.
The varieties catalogued as common
SNOWFALL, viburnum tomentosum and
"highbush cranberry" are all excellent
shrubs"
Philadelphus, also known as syringa
and mock orange" has flowers which
some think resemble orange blossoms.
The foliage comes out rather late. but
1t is an extremely valuable shrub to
have in a collection-especially where
one has considerable room. 1t Is as
hardy as the northern oak, and does
we'll in the shade. The best varieties
are grandifora which has large white
flowers; fora pleno, with double flow
ers and pekinensis, with fragrant
white flowers. ~-l
Parbary Is a pretty shrub for
groups. It's red varieties are very
ornamental in autumn and winter. The
purple leaved variety makes fine
contrast with the green. .Canadensis
is the species native to America. Par
bany Luicifolia has leaves like the
holly and Barbery purpurea has foli
age of purple.
Hydrangeas have flowers in great
clusters eight to ten inches long
white when they first come out, grad
ually turning to rich light purple
When cut, they dry, retaining their
color we'll and make fine ornaments
for the house in winter.

To Enter Wider Field of Journalism

This weeks Southern Idaho Mail
states that it will probably discontinue
publication under its present manage
ment at Blackfoot. Mr.. Peck, the edi-
tor and proprietor has been offered a
big bonus to either move his plant to
or put in an entire new one at Pocatel-
10.
The people Of Blackfoot and vicinity
will be pleased to learn Of Mr.. Pecks
good fortune in entering upon wider
field of journalism, as he expects ere
long to publish morning daily IN the
Gate City with type-setting machines,
new and improved presses, etc.
A sale is pending with local men, who
will probably have Mr.. Charles Way,
the veteran journalist, to pilot the des-
tiny of the Mail back to Republican
principles.

New Church at Springfield.

Out on the Carey lands things grow
quickly. A town is born over night and
church springs up in the morning. No
provision is made for cemeteries be-
cause the climate is such that people
may live forever.
On Tuesday evening of this week two
preachers, an editor, a capitalist, ma
son and farmer met at Springfield and
selected the site for Presbyterian
Church. On Wednesday the materials
were hauled up from Aberdeen for the
building. On Thursday the workmen
cleared off the sage and commenced the
building. They are continuing construc
ton today, expect to complete it to-
morrow, and have announced three sell
vices for Sunday. Sunday school will be
at 10 a. m. and preaching at 3 and 8p m.
No church bell will ring in the belfry
Sunday morning, but the soul hunger of
the settlers will bring them together
for devotion. The roof of the building
will be of canvas, and the altar will be .

2Ox3O feet, and stands near the edge Of
