He had returned home in the eve

or two.

sweetly. did you post that letter

"Yes. my pet" said John. hiding his
conscience-stricken face behind the
newspaper.
We'll. what is your answer?" still
more sweetly.
"Wh-what is WHAT" gasped John.
What is your answer. dear?" said
his little wife, clearly. That letter
was addressed to you"
Addressed to me?" exclaimed John.
'T didn't notice it."
And then, like a foolish man. he
fell into the trap and produced the
letter from his pocket to see. The
envelope was not addressed to him;
but long and severe lecture was
shortly after.

SUN. DELIVERY NOT OPTIONAL
Cont nued from page l.

hitherto been distributed to lock boxes,
and of this mail that intended for
newspapers and for hotel guests, and
also newspapers addressed to news
dealers, should be distributed to the
boxes as hitherto.
In order to give the provision as
liberal a construction as possible the
postmaster general wishes post masters
on application to have their employees
sort out in emergency cases on Sunday,
letters Of special Importance when the
Office of origin is known. This will
supplement the present privilege of
having such mail delivered on Sunday
by purchasing a special delivery stamp
therefor.
The purpose of the law is to reduce
as far as practicable the amount of
Sunday labor in postoffices. However,
the movement of transit mail and the
distribution of mail collected in cities
for dispatch to other destinations must
be continued, and 10 order that the
early delivery on Monday may not be
delayed mail received on Sunday for
delivery by carrier on Monday morning,
as far as practicable, should be worked
after midnight on Sunday. Clerks when
making up direct packages that will
reach first and second class offices on
Sunday should place letters addressed
to newspapers and hotels on top of the
package Immediately under the special
delivery matter, should there be any,
and daily papers published on Sunday
should be kept separate and distinct
from other matter and dispatched in
sacks so labeled as to show their con-
tents.
1t is believed that if the suggestions
herein. are carefully observed with ref
erence to putting up mail in the Office
of origin satisfactory distribution can
be made in postoffices on Sunday with
even less work than is now required and
without inconvenience to the public.
Respectfully,
T.. L. Bushnell,
Acting First Assistant Postmaster Gen.

WRITES ENTERTAINMENT
FROM THE FAR West

From several inquiries | have had
from friends in Paw Paw and vicinity, |
think the fact that there are to be two
great expostlons on the Pacific coast
during the year 1918 is not generally un-
derstood Throughout the United States;
one known as the Panama Pacific Expo
ston to be held at San Francisco, and
che other, the Panama California Expo
sition at SanDiego, 600 miles farther
south. The people of California and
throughout the west and middle west
are looking forward TO the opening of
the Panama canal with the greatest in
terest because it is going to mean so
much to the states west of the Rocky
Mountains, and especially to the Pacific
coast states; and this event will be cell
ebrated by these two great international
eypositions.
San Diego is today a city of about Co.
600 people and is growing more rapidly
than any city 10 the west. People are
coming mere from the east and middle
west in great numbers every year and
are buying property and making their
homes here because they believe San
Diego has a great future, because of its
being the nearest port on this coast to
the Panama canal, its magnificent bar
Dor, and the rich back country 1T now
has and the vast empire that is about to
be reached by the new railroad now
| building. Over 5000 houses were built
last year, and the building permits and
bank deposits for the last four ears tell
a remarkable etory.
The exposition to be held here will be
kept open every day from January l to
December 81, 1915, which for climatic
reasons, probably could not be done ia
any other city in the world. One of the
most original features will be the great
lath house, which will be acres 10 extent
and will contain the most wonderful col
lection OF Towering plants from all over
the world that has ever been brought
together. The archaeological exhibit
will show reproductions of the wonder
full RUNS of Arizona and New Mexico
that bear witness of civilization exist
ing 5000 years B. 9. The site selected
for the exposition is the most wonderful
and beautiful that could have been
chosen anywhere on the continent. 1t
occupies 4l9 acres in the center of 400
acre city park in the heart of the city of
San Diego, and is about 200 feet above
sea level.
have written this to The True North
erner, a paper | have known from its
first issue and have read it many years,
thinking many of my old Paw Paw
friends may be glad to know something
Of this sunny land That reuews youth
and delights age. We have lived 10 San
Diego two and one half years and find
new delights every day living in this
fair land. Old Michigan is all right,
which my 40 years. residence will attest,
but we don't pine for its bitter winters
nor its extreme and debiitatiug heat OF
it's summers, and we give the heartiest
welcome to old friends who come to
share with us the delights Of this per.
feet climate and most beautiful city.

The "sobbing squad" who
shed barrels of briny tears all
over the state during the recent
investigation of Warden Russell
of Marquette on charge of cru
city to convicts, have been given
a severe jolt by the riots in the
Jackson prison the past week.
Warden Simpson has attempted
to govern the prison on the hui
manitarian theory of penology,
but it won't do. A warden can't
govern incorrigible desperadoes
and murderers as a Sunday
school superintendent would gov
ern his flock. If some brute of
a desperate can't be controlled
in any other way then he has
got to be logged and that is all
there is to it. The chances are
that the prisoners at Jackson
will cow learn that fact and the
chances are again that there will
be no more riots in that prison.

One Benefit.

To top off an expensive education a
young married woman of no particular

rawn and St. Bernard as Companions

Fawn and ST. Bernard as Companions.
At the little village of Bauma, In
Switzerland, a farmer recently found
q young fawn In one of his fields.
Fearing that If left alone without
its mother some mischief would be-
fall 1t, he took it home and did every
thing possible for it. Now, he hap
bened to have a large st. Bernard dog,
and this dog and the fawn took to
each other.
The fawn slept In the dogs kennel,
and when 1t grew a little older and
went out on its walks abroad, the
dog accompanied it, and defended 1t
against the attacks of other dogs.
Sometimes the St Bernard and the
fawn would be absent In the woods
and fields for whole day, but they
always returned at night, the doors
and gate being left open for them.
The fawn is now much taller than tho
81 Bernard, and yet the dog still goes
out with It.

The Mortgage Tax Law.

THE question of mortgage
l. taxation was quite widely
discussed during the primary
campaign just closed. Attorney
Lewis of Bangor, one of the
candidates for member of the
state legislature, in articles on
the subject published in nearly
all of the county papers, severely
criticized and condemned the
present mortgage tax law.
Now that the primary is over
we feel that we can discuss the
subject without having it appear
that it was done for campaign
purposes to influence any mans
vote in the primary. The mort
gage tax law enacted by the last
Michigan legislature may be
open to criticism. The True
Northerner at this time express.
es no opinion as to that matter.
1t knows however that the ques-
ton of mortgage taxation is one
that has been widely discussed
and has been given much consid-
Grafton by many of the best in
formed men on the subject of
taxation, and it is possible that
a correct solution of the matter
has not yet been reached.
Among other criticisms Mr.
Lewis says: eve get practically
no income at all from mortgages,
not enough tax from those filed
in one year in the entire county
to pay the salary of one super
visor.
The True Northerner does not
know from what source Mr..
Lewis derived his information,
neither does it know what salary
Mr.. Lewis township pays its eff
fcient supervisor, Mr.. F. A.
Burger, but we feel sure it was
not nearly the sum of 81, 290. so,
which was the amount Of mort
gage tax paid into the county
treasury during the past twelve
months.
Again, to quote Mr.. Lewis:
1--WE are not getting one-tenth of
the revenue Ia taxes from banks
and money loaners that we have
heretofore received. If that
statement be true then banks
and money loaners must have
been heretofore paying an ex-
orbitant tax. Increasing last
years mortgage tax ten fold
would, If Mr. Lewis is correct
have imposed a tax of so, 985 on
"banks and money loaners.
Whoever solves the vexing
mortgage tax question equitably
to all the people must give it
more careful consideration than
it evidently has received from
the author of the articles re-
Rfred to.
