Meet After SO Years.

Way back yonder in the year
of 1856 there lived in Virginia a
family by the name of Howell.
And in this family there were
two brothers named Matthew and
Jack. Matthew was the older
and like many others of his ma
tive State, he conceived the idea
Of going west to what was then
a scarcely settled region, and he
came to Kentucky. In the same
year or a little later Jack decided
that he would leave the old home
and try his fortune in a new
country, and accordingly he went
to Texas, and later to Arizona.
Now in the years that inter-
vened between their separation,
although they have known of
each others location, and have
correspondent, they have never
met.
Last Friday Jack Howell and
his wife came to visit Matthew
and his wife at Good Luck. The
meeting took place here, and the
union of the two brothers after
separation of Sc years was a JOY
Gus event.
Jack Howell and wife will re-
main in this section for some

Girlh00d.

To be girl is to be in the
happiest state possible to,,human-
ity; but girls do not know it.
They are always looking for
ward to something, wanting
something's diamond or a beau,
flattery or new gowns. They
rather envy women a lutte
ahead of them, who have more
self. possession, and are some
times jealous of some married
woman who fiirts and makes a
dash, I'm only a young girl"
we heard one say. Only ayoung
girl! Oh. be glad of it; delight
in it! Thank heaven every
morning that you are still a
young girl. The years will slip
through your fingers like beads
from a broken necklace after a
while; but now they linger while
you are still a girl-a girl in the
home of your parents, yet in the
prime of life. with young broth
ers and sisters for companions.
There will never be anything
better than this in all the world.
There are no skeletons in your
closet, no ghosts in your rever-
les. Your future is all full of
hope. You can fill in the dis
lance as you like. You can fam
cy a lover coming to you who is
perfect in all things; and every
young man is interesting, be-
cause he may possibly be the
other half of your soul. And ev-
cry new girl may be the life
long friend and confident girls
hope for. AS for beauty, the
idea of a girl of seventeen think
ing herself plain, as some do!
In few years she will look in
the glass and see those fine hor-
izontal lines on her forehead, on
which Time scores down her
troubles, and at the corner of
her eyebrows, three little pencil
marks. and a little fall in her
cheek, and a mouth that does
not smile as readily as it once
dld; NOT an OLD lace yet. but
not a girl; and then she will re-
alize what it was to have a girls
face! Oh, how few the years
are! How they whirl away!
But, while you have it envy no
woman her diamonds and laces,
her carriages or her palace, her
fortune or her admirers. While
one is in ones teens, nothiag
else is necessary, except to re-
alize the fact and thank heaven
for it.-EXchange.

TALKS ON INVESTMENTS
Corporation Bonds.

In our previous talks we set forth
the more important features of mu-
nicipaI bonds. We now call atten-
ton to the value and safety of cor
poration bonds, when they are first
class.
Exaction fully expresses the kind
of Investigation that corporation
bond issues must undergo. Banks,
trust companies and bond houses Of
repute have become extremely con-
sentative during the past few years.
They cannot afford and do not accept
anything for granted. They must
know.
Legality, tangible assets and their
relative value to loans, earning pow
er in the past, present and the future
possibilities of increase and growth,
are all taken into account. Efficiency
of organization and equipment to
meet the demand for service is also
feature of great consequence. Aside
the question of validity, corporation
bonds must pass a greater crucial
test than even municipals.
Legal talent and engineers and
special experts in various quasi-pub-
lie corporations are employed to pass
on their merits before approval for
purchase of an issue of such secuT-
tiles.

THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.
Recommendations Made Concerning
Second Class Mail Matter,

Recommendations Made Concerning
Second Class Mail Matter.
The report of the commission on sec
ond class mail matter is an exhaustive
document containing a hundred pages
Of printed matter.
The commission, IN addition to max
ing the recommendation mentioned in
the presidents message. also gives
many statistics showing the relative
amounts of the different classes Of mail
matter handled by the postOffice de-
partment and the cost in detail
The cost and methods of handling
mail on railway cars are also carefully
considered
The report says in part:
The existing rates on second class
matter are those established by the act
of 1879 as amended in 1884 and 1855.
Increase In Volume.
Our attention has been directed to
the fact that the postmasters general
in their annual reports have repeatedly
commented upon the increase in the
volume OF second class matter and
upon the disparity between the sup
posed cost of transporting and ham
/ ding it i'll the mails and the amount
received as postage. Their estimates
evidently reflected the opinion of the
officers of the department, but they
were based upon general experience in
/ the service and not upon a scientific
ascertainmeRt OF cost.
The first question that arises In re-
gard to the rate is whether any dis
/ elimination should be made between
/ different kinds of second class matter
/ The plan proposed of charging a special
/ rate for the portions of magazines de-
| voted TO advertisements seems open to
grave practical objections. The amount
( of space given to advertising is no cri-
/ terion of the educational value Of a
magazine, and If the same provision
were applied to newspapers the at
tempt to measure the space occupied
by advertisements would involve more
labor than is consistent with the rapid
dispatch Of the daily press.
We conclude that whatever increase
be made should apply alike to newspa-
pers and periodicals admitted to the
second class and that It is impracti-
cable in the case OF newspapers to
charge higher rate for space given to
advertisements. 1t has been suggested
that the proportion OF this space should
be limited for all second class matter,
but the true definition of such matter
Is that which is devoted primarily to
the dissemination OF news and of cur
rent literature and instruction, and we
are not convinced that this can be
measured by an arbitrary standard of
the proportion OF space given to adver-
tisement.
A Serious Question.
The question of raising the rate on
second class matter mailed by publish
ers and news agents for I cent to 2
cents a pound is a serious one. But
we are Of opinion that the change il
reasonable and should be made. 4
reasonable time should be allowed
after the rate is fixed before 1t Is put
into effect. While the new rate will be
very far from compromising the gov
eminent for the carriage and handling
Of second class matter, ii VIII 10 some
extent relieve the existing burden and
result in q more equitable adjustment
Of rates.
All the news all the time.-Th,

Suggests a Cost System.

The commission suggests that the de-
partment maintain an adequate cost
system so that the effect of the new
rates may be closely observed and
proper basis may be secured for the
consideration of any future proposals"
In these recommendations the post
master general and l heartily concur
and commend them to the early atten-
ton of congress. The proposed in
crease Of cent a pound in the second
class postage rate l believe to be most
reasonable, and if sufficient time is
allowed before the change goes into
effect it should work little serious in
jury to the business of the periodical
publishers. while equalizing, at least in
a measure, the burdens of postal taxa

ice tie government performs FOR tfasm
The aggregate postal revenues for the
fiscal year 1911 were S237 SIS, S236o,
derived mainly from the postage col
licked on the four classes Of mail mat
ter. 1t Is carefully estimated by the
aastcAHce department that the revenue
derived from mail matter of the first
class is approximately one and one-half
times the cost Of handling and carriage,
that the returns from third and fourth
class matter are slightly in excess of
their cost of handling and carriage and
that while second class matter en-
braces over IS per cent OF the entire
weight of all the mail carried It never
theless yields little more than per
cent Of the postal revenues.
Reviews Recommendation.
The recommendations Of the commits
sion as to the postage rates on second
class mail are as follows:
F1rst.-The rate OF cents a pound on
copies mailed by publishers to subscribers,
10 news agents and as sample copies and
by news agents 70 their subscribers or to
other news agents
Second.-The rate Of cent for each four
ounces fer copies mailed by other than
publishers and news agents-that is, the
present transient rate.
Third.-The present free In county privi-
lege retained, but not extended.
The commission also recommended
that the cent a copy rate for newspa.
pers other than weeklies and for peri
odicais not exceeding two ounces in
weight and the 2 cent a copy rate
for periodicals exceeding two ounces In
weight when mailed at a city letter
carrier Office for local delivery be abol
! ished.
AS t. the effect and adequacy of the
proposed Increase of cent a pound In
| postage tie commission says:
Such an Increase will not, in the opinion
| of the commission, bring distress upon thu
| publishers OF newspapers and periodical!
or seriously interfere with the dissemina
ton of useful news or Information. A

Postal Service Self Sustaining.
The postal service is now. for the
first time in years, operated upon a self
sustaining basis, and in my judgment
this is wise policy. but it should not
be carried out at the expense of certain
classes Of mail matter that pay reve-
nue. largely in excess OF their cost. 1t
IL not Just that some classes of mail
should be exorbitantly taxed to meet a
deficiency caused by other classes the
revenue from which is much below
their cost OF handling and carriage.
Where such inequalities exist they
should be removed as early as practical
BILE. The business enterprises OF the
publishers of periodicals, however, have
been built up on the basis OF the pres
ent second class rate, and therefore it
would be manifestly unfair to put into
immediate effect a large increase in
postage.
That newspapers and magazines have
been potent agencies for the dissent
nation of public intelligence and have
consequently borne a worthy part in
the development OF the country all
must admit, but it is likewise true that
the original purpose OF congress in pro-
viding for them a subvention by way
Of nominal postal charges in considera-
ton OF their value as mediums OF pub
lie information ought not to prevent an
Increase. because they are now not
only educational, but highly profitable.
There Is no warrant for the great dis
parity between existing postage rates
