Crops are getting plenty of rain
but on account Of the hot weather the
grain is ripening bit too fast. Corn
crop is fine this year, wheat and oats
fair, while late seeded barley is very
poor.

corn field anybody can wish for. Il
is Northwestern Smoky Dent and al.
most the entire field is from Z to 9
feet in height.

"DEAD LETTER" OFFICE
IS DISCARDED
Misdirected Mail to be Distributed to
Fifteen Offices.

The dead letter. office in the pos
tai department in Washington is no
more. The last auction sale. of old
letters and parcels. has been held;
$4,000 was realized; eighty employees
were discharged or transferred to
other departments and the letter
business" is conducted more efficient
ly.
The Office was really abolished be-
cause of the big decrease in lost, mis-
directed or unsigned pieces of mail
and because letters addressed to per-
sons who cannot be found are more
speedily disposed of by opening ma
chimes and quick clerks.
But while the "dead letter" office
IS to be abolished here the misdirect-
ed mail matter in the future is to be
distributed to fifteen cities through
out the country. For instance, if a
letter is mailed from Springfield
Ohio, to Albany, N. Y, and the adj
dress is correct and there are no re
turn addresses on the envelope the
letter will be sent to Chicago, where
it will be opened. If information as
to the name of the sender is written
therein the letter will be forwarded
back to Springfield.
To Benjamin Franklin probably be-
longs the distinction of starting the
dead letter division OF the postoffice
When the seat of the federal govern
nent was in Philadelphia, Franklin
had bureau where misdirected let
tiers were examined. The deat, let
ter office was established here in
1925. Before 1860 few detailed re
cords were kept of the receipts in the
lead letter Office, although one old
book in the department showed that
in 1880 there were $4,000 letters re-
ferred to that bureau. In 1859 in
RESPONSE to a senate resolution the
postmaster general reported that the
receints of parcels and letters for the
year numbered 100000.
In 1875 there were twenty-nine
men and fifty women employed in
this bureau and the Office was men
toned as 1'model of industry and
punctuality."
Last year the force consisted OF
about $50 persons and more than 12,-
100000 pieces of mail matter were
handled most of it being returned to
senders.-Bemidji Sentinel.

MONEY ORDERS
GOOD EVERYWHERE

Recently the postmaster general
issued an order effective July 1st'
amending the postal laws and reg
ulations so that original domestic
money orders issued on or after the
1st of July, at any money order of
flee in the continental U.S., except
ing Alaska. may be paid at any mo-
ney order office in the continental U.
S.. excepting Alaska. if presented
for payment within thirty days from
the time it was issued, after which
date it can only be paid at the office
drawn upon. This is great improve
ment in the money order system and
will be appreciated, especially by the
travelling public.

SEND LETTER WITH
y YOUR PARCEL

Few people are aware that pro-
vision is made for the sending Of a
letter and parcel together through
the mails. In many cases where a
parcel is sent a long distance it will
travel slower than a letter and may
be lost entirely by having the address
torn from the wrapper Nearly
EVERYONE who sends a parcel writes a
letter at the same time. It is per-
missable to attach the letter to the
parcel and have them BON arrive to-
gether, but each must he addressed
and stamped as if sent separately.
Persons who wish to have their letter
and parcel travel together should
prepare each as if they were to be
mailed separately, being sure that
each bears the name and address
or the SCI der as we'll as hat pf tn,
add eseee, and that of proper post
age is placed on each, then tie them
together so that the postmaster can
cancel the stamps on each and see
the addresses on each. If it is de-
sired to have them delivered by
special delivery only one special de-
livery stamp is required for both par
eel and letter. The letter should BE
fastened under the string with which
the parcel is tied if possible, and not
left dangling on a seperate string

liable to stay with the parcel If ticc

Love of Gossip.

One of the chief characteristics of the human race is inquistivehess-not 80 much about things and places and Ideas as about each other. Every proper person Is born gossip, and the accomplished scandal monger is always welcome, provided, of course. his scandal is about others. You can test this at any time by considering who are the people you like best to meet and who are always surrounded by the greatest number of idle acquain. tances. Invariably you must be forced to the conclusion they are those who have made business of acquiring in- formation about others and retailing their knowledge in various dressings. This love of gossip Is further revealed in the kind of books which claim the widest appreciation. You will find that these books are not poetry. drama. science or philosophy. They are nov els. memoirs. diaries. intimate histories, recollections. letters-all of them es- sentlal gossip (and sometimes scandaD appearing by their power to attract the gossiping sense which exists in all of us.-T.

The Koran.

In the London Eyeryman is a re- view of the Koran and its author, Mo- hammed. It is a one mans book and that man not an imaginative one, but essentially a man of action and lack ing in invention. The Koran is jum- bled mass of precepts, doctrines. threats. injunctions, divine commands. narrative, lyric and epic poetry. It's heaven and hell are too material for modern thought Obviously" says Everyman. "the Koran is meant not to be read with the eye. but to be re- cited, when the repetitions are not nearly so pronounced. It reflects so- cial order, system of ideas as re- mote from Rome. and more especially from Greece. as our own are from the North American Indian. But neither time nor evolution can utterly quench the flame of Mohammed's personality, which carried his followers to reckless excesses, to the sovereignty of em- pires. which created an art peculiar to Islam and founded age long tradi- tiODS,"

One of the Sights of Paris.

The Paris department stores are worse jumbles even than the English department stores When there Is a special sale under way the bargain counters are rigged up on the side walks. There, in the open air. buyer and seller will chaffer and picker and wrangle and quarrel and kiss and make up again-for all the world to see. One of the free sights of Paris is frugal Frenchman with his face extensively haired over paving like a Skye terrier through a heap of marked down lin gerie. picking out things for the female members of his household to wear, now testing some material with his tongue, now holding a personal article up iG the sunlight to examine the fabric while his wife stands humbly, dumbly by. waiting for him to complete his se- lections.-Irving s. Cobb in Saturday Evening Post.
