REDUCED RATES
!. TO SEND MONEY

Western Union Makes Announcement,
OF New Scale to Become
Effective March l.
GLADE RECEIVES AN ORDER
Charges for Transfer of Money Made
Uo of Two Factors. Premiums
and Telegraph Tolls.
GLADE RECEIVES AN ORDER

Manager John c. Glade OF the
the local Office of the Western Union
Telegraph Co, has received notice
from headquarters announcing re-
ducticn in rates. effective March
First, governing the transfer Of
money from one place 10 another,
these rates subject 10 the approval
of the commissions.
The reductions apply TO every
point in. the United States and
Canada.
The design of the new rates is 20
cheaper, particularly the charges for
transfer OF small sums Of money. A
tabulation of the business for 1919
shows that the average amount re-
mitted in telegraph transfer was
about SAL. Nearly two-thirds OF
the ertire number of transfers We're
for sums of S25 or less. while 81
per cent OF the total transfers in
yolyed were for s100 or less.
The business OF transferring
money by telegraph has had notable
growth during the past ten years
having more than tripled in vol
nme. This had been due principally
to three causes: The urgent neees-
stiles OF American business; the ey-
tension of Western Union transfer
facilities to many additional points.
and the enlarged system OF bank
agencies throughout the country in
connection with the Western Union
transfer service.
The number of places in the
United states and Canada to which
money may be transferred by West
ern Union telegraph for payment is
now over $4,000
: Charges for the transfer of money
by telegraph are made up OF two
factors. One is the premium and
the other is the telegraph tolls.
lThe premius is varying percentage
on the amount of money transferred
to cover Insurance and banking
costs. The tolls are for the neces-
sary telegraph messages involved in
transaction
| The schedule to become effective,
| March i, changes both OF these
charges, SO that the new rates will
be rs follows:
/ Premium.
] For transfer of SO or less
use.
For a transfer of over s25 and not
exceeding s50,-85c.
| For a transfer OF over $50 and not
exceeding s75,--50c.
For transfer OF over SIS and not
| exceeding s100,-S5c.
! For each additional s100 or frac-
tion thereof up to and including So
Loco, 25c
| For each additional sl00 or frac-
| ton thereof over s,e00.--20c.

THEOLOGY AND TEMPERANCE

Editor Star: | notice several ar
ticles in the Star that argue the liq-
uor question from the standpoint of
Christianity. If you will kindly al
low me a little space | will express
my views.
While Christianity, no doubt has
a very great bearing on the question,
it is, in my opinion, by no means the
greatest. When a man gets drunk
he becomes a nuisance, and the law
think, says that when anything be-
comes a nuisance, it shall be done
away with. And the saloon is
breeder of nuisances, and so should
be ousted
Many drinking men when they
are intoxicated, become dangerous,
ana if they have or can get gun or
knife, will do lot of damage. Times
without number persons have been
killed or wounded by attacks of
drunken men, and at best, they are
an insult to all law-abiding and
peace respecting persons ana as the
saloons furnish the material for ere
ating these nuisances it becomes it
becomes nuisance itself and should
be done away with. If Christ made
wine at the wedding he undoubtedly
made a wine that was not intoxicat-
ing. The Bible is certainly against
strong drink. Look not on the
wine when it is red, for at the last it
biteth like a serpent and stingeth
like an adder" Touch not and
handle not" and a great many other
such denunciations against drinking
and drunkards. But this is not the
point. Better to argue from the
standpoint of If eating meat max
eth my brother TO stumble, | will
eat no meat" and no one can deny
that many whisky drinkers are men
of influence and many stumble and
follow after them into ruin.
This question is not one of Chris
tianfty alone, but of social and moral

the saloon is responsible for the most
Of them.
Now wet voters, many of you are
honest, some of you are among my
true friends. You deserve respect,
whether right or wrong-we simply
differ in opinion. But do you think
we can afford to perpetuate by our
ballots the institution that fathers all
and more than this hell, misery and
depreciation, just to give the saloon
man personal liberty" to cause it?
Don't you really think hell would
explode and go to nothing without
these breathing holes to act as safety
valves?

FARMER KILLED NEAR HOME
Man Who Paid Victim Money on Day
Of Murder, 10 Held.

western Newspaper Union News Service
Iexarkana.--George B. Thaggard, a
farmer 90 years of age, was murdered
within 200 yards OF his home on n
boulevard in suburb of Texarkana.
His body was found the following
morning in clump of bushes 800
feet from the boulevard.
Robbery was unquestionably the
motive for the murder as Thaggard
is known to have had large sum of
money on his person and none was
round on the body. Thaggard went to
MS farm, near Queen City, where he
sold several bales of cotton and re-
ceived $l65 rent money from Eugene
Mason.
Mason has been arrested and placed
in jail at New Boston, charged with
causing Thaggard's death. The Off
GERS claim that they have evidence
that Mason was with Thaggard on the
night the latter was killed and that he
started home with Thaggard from the
railroad station.
