How to Reduce That Postal Deficit.

(Richfield Recorder)
President Taft is rigtt on the ques-
tion of reducing the postal deficit
that is self evident Butthe Recorder
would modestly suggest that there are
a lot OF ways that the reduction might
be made, rather than by bearing down
on newspapers and magazines. For
instance. if the foolish seed graft
were abolished. and the actual cost as
we'll as the cost Of postal service
in handling it were covered back into
the post office. the whole country
would be a great gamer The writer
was i'm one of the federal offices in
Boise. some time ago. and was shown
where lead paper weights. about four
pounds each were sent by mail-doz-
ems Of them-during the weighing
time, in January; a drafting triangle,
weighing two ounces, was made up in
to package that weighed eight
pounds and other similar happen
ings could be mentioned if 1t were
worth while If the post office de-
partment will go a little deeper into
the department abuses and either
eliminate them or make the proper
charge so that the deficit can be
charged where it belongs, the news
papers and magazines will then be
more ready to bear their share of
what deficit is left over. Perhaps
Messrs Cannon and Aldrich and
Rockefeller would be glad to squelch
lot of printed publicity they have
been having ia the past few years.

Reverting to the Bristow state
ment, it is found that il has a local

sion dealers of former years and in
the experience Of every householder

there was still much of every carcass
he could not make use of and which
became a loss TO him. Modern me-
thods provide a profitable use for
every part of the beef carcass. Still
the pioneer butcher. working with
primitive means, paid more for his
beef than is paid today and received
less for it than the 1910 dealer.
The same situation is observed in
other Connections. While inventive
genius has provided means to reduce
the cost of living, other instrumer-

Forecaster Scents Rising Tenn
perature and Possibly Rain.
COOLEST THIS MORNING
Thermometer Shot Down to Twelve
Degrees Above Zero at 8 O'Clock.
STORM PASSING GUT TO SEA
Frosty Air Being Replaced by a
disturbance" Coming From
the Southwest.

When the mercury in the weather
bureau thermometer took a shoot down
from 20 degrees about o'clock this
morning to IL degrees above zero at
o'clock, it probably indicated the last
of the real cold weather for two or
three days, the forecaster explained
this afternoon. There will be a rising
temperature tonight and Sunday, fol.
lowed Sunday afternoon and night by
unsettled weather. probably rain. The
winds will be light, and mostly from
the south and southwest. The tempera
ture east of the Mississippi river will
rise generally for the next two or three
days.
Tho unsettled weather promised for
Sunday will proceed from a dis
turbance," as the weather bureau calls
1T. from the southwest, which has
caused rains in the middle and west
gulf states.
The great storm and gale which
reached New England Thursday hav,
now passed east Of Newfoundland, and
Will probably reach the British Isles
In three or four days. The British Isles
and western Europe have been having
very severe weather for the last ten
days, resulting in great loss of ship
ping. The gale from New England will
add to their trouble.
New Ice Forms on River.
The low temperature of last night
caused the ice drifting about on the river
to knit together and harden, and new ice
over an inch thick formed on the open
water in the channel. The steamer
which arrived here from Norfolk this
morning encountered ice at Maryland
point and ran through it to this city. In
places it was several inches thick, but
not heavy enough to interfere with the
movement Of the boat. From the looks
OF the river this morning 1t is probable
than even should thaw come it would
be several days before the ice would dis.
appear and enable sailing craft to be
moved at will Of their masters. Reports
coming from along the river state that
the ice on the creeks varies from three
to five inches in thickness, is very hard
and is getting thicker and harder each
night.
The tugs James o. Carter and d. NJ
Key arrived here this morning with sew
eral oyster and lumber laden vessels
These are the first vessels to arrive here
for several days. The ice in upper
Chesapeake bay is giving steamboats,
considerable trouble, but as yet none OF
the lines out of Baltimore have tied up.

ASKS AID OF CONGRESS.
Secretary Wilson Wants Money for

Secretary Wilson went before the House
committee on agriculture at the Capitol
today to see. with other things, wheth-
er Congress could be induced to appro-
pirate any money for the enforcement of
the new insecticide and fungicide law
that goes into effect January 1. This law
has been passed. but as yet Congress
has appropriated nothing for its enforce
ment.
The manufacturers of insecticides and
fungicides all over the country are plead
ing for revised tables and serial num-
bers and the like. The department has
framed regulations for the enforcement
Of the new law, but can do no more.
The most of the fungicides, lead ar
senate, paris green and other things of
the sort are shipped by the manufac-
turers during January, and il they get
into interstate commerce through the
jobbers later, when the law is being en-
forced, it is predicted, there will be
trouble for the dealers. So far there has
been no appropriation made for the en-
forcement Of the law.

which at times obscured Moisant, show

Moisant, flying with the wind, made,
according to estimates, not less than 100
miles an hour. but when facing the gale
his machine at times stood still.

After being in the air twenty-one min

ant took advantage of lull and pointed
the nose Of his machine downward. The
wind made rapid descent impossible.
The landing was easy and graceful. how

Moisant bodily from his machine and
congratulated him on the most wonder
