Carriers do not have to serve boxes
that are not properly put UP.
No one should call for a registered
letter for any other person, not even
member Of his family unless he has
a written order. The department will
not allow registered matter 20 be de-
livered any other way.
The department does not allow a
postmaster to accept checks for money
orders or to sell money orders unless
the cash Is actually received when the
order is delivered.
Always address your letters when you
mail them. Unless they bear a return
card the postmaster may have some
trouble telling where they go. Also be
sure to stamp your letters when you
mail them. These two sentences may
sound like joke but you would be
surprised to know how often letters
are mailed without address or postage.
Treat the postmaster like a human
being. He may not know much but
remember, he has about 5000 postal
regulations to keep track of and live
up to besides all kinds Of human ma
ture to deal with. The chances are
that you would get a little ratified

ING LAST NIGHT, so VOTED
REQUEST FOR A GYM is DE-
NIED--slx ORGANS NEEDED IN
PRIMARY GRADES.

The Christmas vacation of tn,
Fargo public schools win begin or
Tuesday. Dec. "a. and last until Wed
nesday. Jan. s. giving the pupils and
teachers vacation of two fun weeks
n This matter was decided at an ad-
9ourhed regular meeting of the board
| OF education held last night in the
/ SUPERINTENDENT office In the high
school building. Supt. w. d. Hoover
called the attention of the board to
the fact that the closing OF schools on
Friday afternoon, just one day before
christmas many of the teachers would
not be able to reach their homes for
the FESTIVE day. He recommended that
the vacation begin earlier, stating that
Tor school purposes the first two or
three days before Christmas were not
very profitable as the attention OF the
children would naturally be centered
on the coming festivities.
Other Matters of Business.
The routine business or the board
was also transacted and several spe-
cial matters were brought up. Miss
Gertrude Boyd was hired by the board
as a teacher In the Sixth grade in the
Lincoln building.
In the reports OF the various com :
mittees Rev. Chas. r. Adams, OF the
visiting committee, stated that while
making the round of the buildings he
had found in several rooms. seats in
which the feet of the children did NOT
touch the floor and asked that the mat
ter be remedied. 1t was left to the
proper committee.
superintendent Hoover stated that
SIX organs were needed for use in the
primary graded of the various build
ing and recommended that they be pur-
chased as they were almost a neces-
slty In carrying on the work. The
board left the matter to the supply
committee with power to act.
Do Not Favor Fitting up Gym.
Through Superintendent Hoover. the
boys and girls of the high school In
terested In basketball, ask the board
for permission to floor and fit up the
third floor OF the Central building for
basketball practice, offering to stand
the expense, which it was figured by
them would be about 5000.
The board left the matter stand ask
ing that the promoters o. the scheme
show that they would be able to carry
out the plan. In the eyes of the board
this place cannot be fitted UP for what
the promoters planned, they did not
seem disposed to open this place for
such purpose as the jar OF practice
would be likely to knock the plaster
ing off the ceilings OF the rooms be-
low and woull In addition, necessitate
the installation Of fire escapes should
II be opened for use.
However the members of the board
believed that some place should be ~ro-
vided for the physical development ana
exercise OF the pupils and while no.
definite action was taken 1t is evident
that 1t Is only q matter Of time until
q gymnasium will have to be pro
vided.

BIRD PROTECTION 0. k.
Goodrich Citizen Discusses Shooting
of the Golden Eagle Which
Figured in Courts.

Goodrich Citizen: About a month
ago party of four OF our local sports
men went out hunting geese and on
their return one OF them shot an eagle
and brought II to town and later sent
1t to Mandan to have 1T mounted. OF
course he was anxious to have it
known that he had shot the big game
and so reported It to The Citizen of
which, 1t will be remembered, we
made mention under the head of
Killed an American Eagle. The item
was noticed by some Of the game and
fish board of control Of the state and
also by T. S. Palmer. chief CT the bu-
reau OF biographical survey at Wash
ington, who took up the matter with
the state board and as The bird in
question is one OF the birds held TO
be harmless and protected by section
~ of the Ash and game laws OF the
state, the board sent q. w. wilkinson,
special deputy game warden, here last
Saturday who swore out warrant be-
fore Justice of the Peace VIM. Bickel
and had the party arrested. He pleaded
guilty to the charge and was fined $40
and cost. OF course the party who
shot the bird was ignorant of the fact
that he was violating the law ana In
fact thought he was shooting at one
OF those monstrous hawks which are
so numerous in this part Of the coun-
try but, as ignorance OF law excuses
no man" the party had TO pay his fine
This instance Is a fair example OF
the vigilance Of the officers to enforce
the laws In regard to the protection
Of harmless birds and the following
clipping from an eastern exchange Is
applicable to the occasion:

George Bruce CorteIyou.

After two decades Of service under the
governments service beginning with a
modest departmental clerkship and end
ing with the Secretaryship OF the Treas
ury. and embracing almost the whole OF
his mature years-George Bruce Cortelyou,
still comparatively young man, now
quits official life for business pursuits. A
great corporation in the metropolis avails
itself OF his services.
For a quarter Of century almost con-
tinuously identified with Wsshington-his
collegiate education having been received
here-he is largely Washington product
and essentially a Washingtonian. Wash
ington has watched his advancement with
pride and qualification. and, noting his
departure with something more than pass

MUTUALTTY IN PRACTICE.
How the Plan Worked Out 10 Profit
of All Concerned.

How the Plan Worked Out 20 Profit
of All Concerned.
William T. TOlman, in the Century.
Five years ago a certain employer made
up his mind that there was too much fric-
ton in the departments OF his factory,
and something ought 20 be done 20 elm
mate H. First he called the eighteen heads
and subheads together and talked over
the matter with them. They were deeply
impressed with this remark OF confidence.
Within twenty-fOur hours after that meet
ing those in charge who had been antag-
onistic toward one another began 70 get
| closer together and compare notes. This
meeting did so much good that another
was called a week later. The OUTPUT Of
the factory increased almost immediately.
AS a result OF these meetings all began
TO work together 20 better the conditions
Of the factory. The heads OF the DEPART
ments soon realized that they were re-
sponsible for the friction that existed. and
should do their best 10 eliminate ii. They
did so. substituting courteous, kind treat
ment for direct orders as given out for
merly by a boss.
In three months the factory OUTPUT in
creased $4,000. Recently the EMPLOYER
analyzed the results OF the five months
previous to the time when he started this
work. In certain departments piece work
ers had numbered 26S. In the same de-
/ partments piece workers to-day. after
! three years OF mutually. number 1SS. but
they have drawn the same amount Of
money that the 16s did for the same time
! That is the record for the piece workers
Now for the time workers. During the

The Escape from a Scandal.

Sensational journalism has evidently
been deprived of one Of those stock
yarns which ordinarily mark the return
OF a naval ship from foreign station.
The opportunity for libel Of the naval
personnel and the creation Of scandal of
impressive proportions was afforded by
the return Of the ships OF the Atlantic
fleet from their circumnavigating cruise.
OF course, the officers and enlisted men
Of that command exercised their privi-
lese as American citizens in foreign
parts Of purchasing mementos Of their
voyage. In no case could officers or en-
listed men purchase a great amount OF
material OF a dutiable character. What
was acquired in that direction must rep
resent the savings from the pay OF the
personnel. whose income necessarily has,
with few exceptions. heavy drafts upon
it in the way OF expenses at home.
II is TO the credit OF the Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury. James B.
Reynolds. that ne arranged for the in
-.
and that this inspection took place at
Hampton Roads shortly after the arrival
Of the ships Had it been deferred until
the vessels reached their respective navy
yards. there would have been a lack OF uni
formity Of inspection and probably there
would have been an undue and an unjust
exercise of authority. There would have
been disputes and controversy, and un-
dOubtedly some Ohicious representative of
the Treasury Department would have
seized" property and officers would have
/ been described in the newspapers as
'smUgglers." This has been the expert
/ ence Of the navy on other occasions. and
much has been made Of the original dis
cOvery Of smuggling. with little or moth
| ing said OF subsequent exoneration. We
imagine. therefore, that Assistant Secre-
| tary Reynolds will have the gratitude of
the naval personnel for the courteous
way in which he required the necessary
customs inspection on board the ships of
the Atlantic fleet at Hampton Roads.
The navy Is spared a conventional attack
and the country does not suffer the hu-
initiation of seeing its naval officers and
enlisted force held up as cheap evaders
Of the customs regulations and laws.
1t is stated at the Treasury Department
! that the duties imposed on the imported
articles which were brought in on the re-
turning ships amounted to less than
5000.
