Postmaster General Hitchcock IA
engaged in an effort to ind out to the
last cent how much 1t actually costs
the railroads of the United States to
carry the mails. Mr.. Hitchcock wants
to cut further his department deficit.
When the postmaster general gets
his information 1t may be that means
will be found to save the people Of the
country q large sum Of money, and
that they will get the benefit Of it
through reduced postage rates. an ex-
tension Of the rural route service or
through something more profitable to
the purse and the convenience Of the
American citizen. The department en-
ployes, under the direction Of the
chief, are engaged in the giant task Of
finding out definitely how much IL
costs the railroads to carry the malls
and whether or not they are makino
the enormous profits that have BEEN
more than limited at In congress and
elsewhere.
The magnitude of the work in hand
may be known when 1t Is said that
large part Of the clerical force Of the
service is engaged in it. The returns
which the railroads make to the inter-
state commerce commission are under
study, and to these have been added
reports direct from the railroads to
the department. More than this, the
entire inspector force Of the service
Is lending its aid to enable the Of
icials to get figures which they can
be sure are right.
The country has been divided into
zones, and each one is considered sep
arately. 1t is more costly to carry the
mail In some places than 1t IL in other
places, and all this has to be taken
into consideration. Before the depart
ment gets through with It's work 1t
wfll show what part of the expense OF
operating the railroads falls to the pas
senger service. what part to freight
and what part to the mail service. Adj
mittedly, the problem to be solved Is
as hard thing as ever came out Of
analytical geometry.
It has been charged in congress and
In the press frequently that the rail-
roads were making too much money
out Of their contracts for carrying the
mails. There have been frequent at
tempts in the past to find Just how
much 1t did cost. but there was lack
Of proper information.
Today the post ONCE department II

that it will ind that the railroads have
not been 'overpaid for the carrying
service. and 1t may be also that it will

Timely Town Improyers.

The following suggestions if followed
will go far to help in improving and
beautifying the home town
Make the old home more beautiful this
spring than it ever has been before.
Rake up all the bits OF sticks and dead
leaves of year ago and make the yard
ready for the mower when the grass
grows.
Fill in all the little uneven places that
may show in the lawn and scatter little
grass seed there. 1t will soon grow and
make the front so much nicer to look at.
Two stout wires with strip OF wire
poultry netting will give the clematis and
other climbing vines something to cling
to as they try to find the top OF the porch.
If they have not something to hold them
upward they will trail downward and
lose something of their beauty.
A few climbing shrubs will shade the
porch neatly from the hot sunshine OF
next summer. Tne old fashioned honey
suckle is one OF the best for this purpose.
1t is so clean, and it blossoms longer than
almost any other shrub Of the kind.
