SENATE COMMITTEE DENIES
P. o. COMMITTEE REPORT
Says 1t Has Deficit, Just the Same
as of Old


Washington.-The senate committee
on postoffices, in its report on the post
office appropriation bill just made pub
lie, takes issue with the postoffce de-
partment in it's statement that the de-
partment, after reporting deficit an
nually for many years, finally has
reached point where it is self-sustain-
ing. The committee characterized the
accounting methods of the department
as Anticipated and unbusinesslike, -
which, having been in vogue for dec
AIDES, make it impossible to give cor
rect balance.
The committee contended that compu-
tations of the department that indicate
a surplus overlook several important
features which would be included in
the financial statement of any private
enterprise.
The committee said that these items
are properly chargeable to the postal
service and should be taken into consid-
GRAFTON in presenting financial state
ment.

Home ties and the wishes and

divorce law, according to my
judgement is breaking up more

wrecks the home but it licences

Home! What it is, and
What it Should Be
Contributed

consider each others wishes above
everything else and no ones adj
vice come between them. They
should consult each other in all
matters pertaining to home affairs
and especially regarding the rais-
ing OF chidren.' Be positive and
firm with them, but plenty of
privileges and they Will love and
respect you. AS we grow older
let the home ties grow stronger
and the home will be happier and
brighter as the years roll by.
Make the home a place where
love and affection abounds and it
will be happy and contented
home, for love controls the human
emotions and is the key that locks
the heart against intruders who
would blight every sacred tie that
binds the home together, and if
both husband and wife possess this
key there is no danger, for it binds
the heart secure. Then let us
preserve this key and we will have
love IN the home as a foundation
and the bible for our guide to live
by and raise our children by God
will prosper us and bestow upon
us his blessing.

OF what home should be and it

We need home builders and
home preservers. There are too
many parents raising their daugh-
tiers to be society leaders and ball
room bellies and their sons as street
loafers, gamblers and whiskey
drinkers, instead of raising them
to be practical, home-loving christ
ian men and women. If we do
this we will raise girls that will
make good wives and boys that
will make good husbands, and we
will have happier home and little
use for divorce laws.
