"If Congress will let the Presi-

Mr.. Helm, but if this agitation
in Congress keeps up and the
President and Secretary OF State
are continually harassed about

is likely to come.
"The United States certainly
does not want a war, even with

Postmaster General Burleson is
making many changes in the De-
partment, which will result in the
saving of much money and will
eliminate much red-tape. He has
abridged the letters in the Depart
ment also. to this extent that all
unnecessary words be left out of
correspondence. He has directed:
THAT the names of officers of the
department IN addressing official
communications be not used; that
instead of addressing one of the
assistant postmasters general by
his full title the words first assist.
ant. second assistant, etc, only be
used: and that the use of any salu.
tation and complimentary closing
be discontinued. On account of
the large volumeof correspondence
handled in the department it will
thus be seen that great saving in
time of the clerical employees will
be effected by this innovation
thereby considerably raising the
individual employees capacity for
writing letters as we'll as reducing
the amount of so called red tape
which too often hampers the work
OF the government, Mr.. Burleson
believes that by attention to Just
such small details as this the
government viii be saved annually

coming of these new forces.
Let Louisville awaken to he
necessity of reaching this section
of the State. 1t is hers by right of

join with the people Of this section

Dear Sir:
Our information is that you own
large farm near Bowling Green,
KY, also that you have not made
success of it, and knowing that
you are always interested in and
open for All investment in a good
live business proposition. take the
liberty of presenting to you what
seems to me to be an excellent
business proposition, and in which
no doubt, you will take lively in-
terest. Please advise me of the
amount OF stock you wish to sub
scribe towards the formation of
company for the exploitation OF
this idea.
The object of this campany is to
operate a large cat ranch near
Bowling Green, KY, where lani
can be purchased cheap for that
purpose.
To start with, we will collect
say one hundred thousand cats
Each cat will average twelve kittens
Sear. The skins will sell for ten
cents for the white ones TO seven
| tytive cents for the pure black
We will have about twelve million
skins to sell at All average of thirty
cents each, making our revenue
about $40, 900. 90 per day gross.
/ A man can skin fifty cats a dav;
he will charge 81. a day for his
labor; it will take about ole hun
dred men 10 operate this ranch
therefore the profit will be about
/ $1,000 90 a day.
We will feed the cats on rats,
and we will start rat ranch ad
/ Joining the cat ranch. The rats
will multiply four times as fast as
cats, and il we start with one hun
dred thousand rats, We will have
four rats day for each Cat, which
is plenty.
We will feed the cats on rats and
in turn will feed the rats on the
stripped carcasses of the cats, thus
! giving each lat one-fourth of a cat.
| Ii will be seen by these figures
that the business will be a self-act-
/ ing automatic one. The cats will
eat the rats, and the rats will eat
the cats, and we will get the skins.
We have made arrangements
with the iddler's union TO supply
them with cat gut.
