WE NOW HAVE A THIRD
CLASS PoSTOFFIcE

When the postoffice inspector check
ed up the business done at our Office
for the year ending September 30,
1918, he found we were entitled to
third class post office. and since jan
uary I, 1914, Postmaster Funk has
been receiving salary as third
class postmaster instead Of commits
sioner on stamp cancellation.
Recently Mr.. Funk has received
letters from the district inspector
urging him to establish rural free
delivery for Coveville. operating the
same from the Richmond Office. The
good people Of Cove should welcome
this move upon the part of the inspec-
tor as 1t would give them daily mail
delivered at their doors which would
be a big improvement upon the pres
ont system.
Since the change to a third class
post Office for Richmond there have
been several petitions circulated for
appointment as postmaster under the
Wilson administration most prominent
among them being that of s. w. Hen
bricks and Marie Hendricks.

r,ps FOR WALTERS
FOUND NECESSARY

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Ttps for walters
are a necessity. according to a deci-
s,on reached last night by the board
of governors OF the Illinois Athletic
club.
For some time the club has had a
strict rule that when a member was
detected tipping n waiter the former
should be reprimanded and the latter
discharged.
On a third offense member was
suspended.
In the future five cents will be
added to all food checks at the club.
OF this sum three cents will go to the
waiter and the remaining two cents
will go to a general fund, the ulti-
mate disposal Of which has not been
settled. The belief that better serv.
ice can be obtained by tipping the
walters and information that many
tips were being given secretly result.

THE PROBLEM OF
WoMEN'S WAGES

Nothing seems to rankle more with
women than the fact that they receive
less pay than men for the same work.
The subject is suggested by recent
utterances of DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
a Suffragist leader, in complaining Of
the Ford Automobile Company for fail
ure to include women equally with
men in their profit sharing plan.
A woman teacher often gets only
about $500 for school work for which
a man would be paid $500. The same
is true In almost all salaried positions
To be sure, woman's work Is some.
times more irregular, and she may
throw up her Job any time to get
married. So do men throw up their
jobs at any time for good reasons or
whims.
Perhaps the root Of the trouble Is
that women crowd into occupations
paying low wages. Out of 4,S00,OOC
women wage earners in this country
1.l65,O00 are servants. There are
S2S,935 washerwomen.
Department store employees ant
sweat shop workers, paid some meag
er amount like SIS week have Otter
protested against minimum wag
law. They say there are plenty o
girls ready to take their places an
they fear worse competition IL wage
are raised.
When an ambitious man finds hin
self in an employment where the SUI
ply of workers is greater than tn
demand, he tries to fit himself I
compete In a higher class. Wome
must do the same. If they could max
women teachers relatively scarce
this occupation would have to pa
higher wages.
Women who 20 into business, pa
ticularly in such lines as dressmakinl
millinery, restaurant, lodging hous,
and hotel keeping, seem to do well

TILLABLE LAND
IN The u. S.
over Eleven Hundred Million Acres,
According To the Department OF
Agriculture

Washington, Jan. 17.-Preliminary
estimates by the department Of agri.
culture show that Of the 1.14O, 000, 900
acres Of tillable land In the United
States only % per cent is actually
under cultivation. The estimates
were based on reports Of $4,000 cor.
respondents scattered in every state.
The country, excluding its possessions
contains about 1900, 100000 acres OF
which about so per cent is tillable.
This includes land already under cul.
tivation or which may be brought un.
der cultivation by clearing, drainage,
irrigation, etc. Only 10 per cent or
800 5000 acres was estimated to be
OF no use for agriculture, either now
OF in the future; 10 per cent, or 81,
100000 acres, is non.tillable, but val
liable for pasture or fruits.
According to the census of 1909 the
land area in crops where acreage was
given was 311,OOO,000 ares. This is
approximately 16 per cent of the total
land area or about q per cent Of the
estimated potential tillable area.
In other words, says the depart.
ment, for every 100 acres that are now
titled about 375 acres may be titled
when the country is fully developed.
