Representative Olmsted. of Peunsylva-
mia. who is acting chairman Of the Com
mittee Of the Whole House during the
consideration OF the bin. has received re-
quests for about ff:y more speeches. and
he has said II was his desire 70 accommo-
date every member possible. However
as the list OF applicants for time Is
growing rapidly. SEEMINGLY with increas-
ed interest. n may be possible that some
OF the speeches will he limited 10 five

large number Of them viii be printed IN

these cases the members would just as

An interesting rUmor came from the
Senate side or the Capitol yesterday 10
the eject that a member Of the Finance
Committee said II was a certainty that
the whole thing. meaning the tariff
question would be settled AT the eXpira-
ton OF six weeks This member Of the
senate. who declined TO be quoted, SAID
the general public would be very much
SURPRISED when the real programme OF

This announcement caused a good deal
OF comment among the members Of the

sent the minority yesterday. and the ru-
nor was revived that the Democrats
would Introduce a bill II was announced
al nrst that the Democrats would present

later the minority members or the com

action unless a rule was brought IN 10

Several attempts have been made by the
Democrats to ascertain Just what the

II the Republicans give the Democrats
plenty Of time 70 consider each section

cut down every item to a revenue basis.

TRANSPORTATION cost is under 2
cents pound.
The annual loss on third class
mail is something over three
MILAN dollars. the mail matter
carried free under congressional
franks costs the government an
nually about d half-million dol
lars. A greater loss, about two
and a quarter millions annually,
results from the free handling OF
official mail for executive depart
ments other than the Postoffice
Department. The annual cost of
handling the free official mail Of
the PostofFice Department is es-
timated at about $4,000, eco If
the several branches of the Fed
eral government were made to
bear their proper share of the eX-
pense of Transporting and hand
ling official mail, greater care
would be taken no doubt in the
exercise of the franking privilege
and some saving to the govern
ment would accordingly result.
The wisdom of doing away en-
tirely with the franking privi-
lege of official mail has been sug-
gested, but this is a matter for
Congress to determine. Such a
plan would relieve the Postoffice
Department of a heavy expense
it is now obliged to incur in the
handling of free mail for other
branches of the government es-
tablishment.
RURAL MAIL DEVELOPMENT.
THE rural delivery service has
developed in twelve years from
an experiment, requiring an ap-
preparation of $40, 900, to one of
the largest branches of the
postal establishment, with an
annual expenditure exceeding
$35, 100000. The postage on
matter mailed on rural routes is
estimated at about $7,O00,O0O.
The Importance of this service tc
large number of people is fully
appreciated. 1t brings the farms
and villages into closer commun-
ication with commercial and ed
ucational centers. Itencourages
the improvement Of country
roads. By making rural life more
attractive it stimulates agricul-
ture. No doubt it is partly re-
sponsible for the increase in farm
values. Owing to the marvel.
ously rapid growth of this ser.
vice, however. it is but natura
, that defects have developed. The

Great alarm prevails in Stromsburg
and Osceola and surrounding country
over the spread of spinal meningitis
among children which has developed IN
to an epidemic, and State Inspector
Wilson has taken steps to establish
quarantine. Physicians say that spinal
meningitis is one OF the most appalling
OF diseases in respect to its mortal char
acter. The assertion that 1t is contagious
is open to dispute, but the prevalence Of
the disease in the territory around
Stromsburg and the other towns have In
duced the inspector to believe that con
tagion has had something to do with the
situation. Because of this Inspector
Wilson will order quarantine. an order
which is seldom made in cases OF spinal
meningitis.

owing to heavy rains We don't blame

Owing to the rainy weather week be-
fore last much wheat still remains un-
cut in many fields. On the old Cal
laway farm, which is now held down by
Phillie Smith, his crop is in such con-
dition that it will be hard to get. The
wheat on Comisky's land is also in bad
condition, 60 also are the wheat fields on
the old Jim and Gus Hill farms held
down by John L. Reisdorf and Charley
Bailey. There are other fields OF wheat
in that neighborhood and along the river
road that look bad. the half Of which
will never be gathered. At the price

owners.
