MAIL BRINGS MEMENTOES
FROM JACK IN AUSTRALIA
Arrival of Carload of Souvenirs in
Every Shape and Size Keeps the
Postoffice Clerks Working
Overtime

A carload of souvenirs of all shapes
and sizes, from simple colored post
cards to huge packages containing
samples of the flora, fauna and pos
sibly mammalia of Australia, all deco
rated with the stamps of that con-
tinent, arrived yesterday morning at
the Los Angeles postoffice.
The explanation for this deluge OF
mail from Australia lies in the fact
that the fleet has visited that country
and gone, and that the first steamers
from Australian ports have reached
the United tSates bringing with them
the little tokens of affection from Jack
to Betty.
Most every Betty who lives in Los
Angeles who made friends with Jack
when he was here, and waved tear
full goodby to him when the white
squadron sailed away, found pack
age on her plate at the breakfast ta-
BILE yesterday morning. Maybe it was
some freak of the ocean cast up by
the sea, or some crawling thing that
had long since ceased to crawl from
lack of ventilation. Or perhaps it was
a piece of coral jewelry with Jacks
card in the pasteboard box and little
note beginning, Remember the time
we had in Los Angeles?" etc.
Anyway the postoffice clerks had to
work overtime.

Farm Management,

Economy is wealth. Extra and un-
necessary expense is a milestone around
the neck Of many who otherwise would
succeed. Discharge the improbable
employe. Stop every leak of unneces-
sary expense. Money saved is money
made Money invested In improved
machinery Is economy. Money invested
in the best seeds and appliances is
economy. Time wasted, labor wasted,
is extravaganza.
A successful farmer says he does not
have to inspect farm to see whether
it pays or not. Just give me a
chance to look into the barn. The con-
dition things are kept In is all the go.
by l want" The barn Is a telltale on
the careless or wasteful farmer. In
fact economy in farming begins at the
barn In the proper handling Of food,
caring for the manure, care of tools
and harness and the care given to the
live stock stabbed there. There Is al
ways best way to do things, and the
best way Is generally the paying one.
