Christmas Orders at Postoffice

1t may be a bit early in the
season but after all Christmas is
near and before many of us are
aware of it the great season will
be here. That is the way the
postma ster general looked at it,
for he has been issuing in
structio ms to local Offices with
reference to the Christmas mail.
He anticipates that the volume
of parcel post during the Christ
mas season will establish new
record.
In order to prevent congestion
in postoffice lobbies, postmasterS
are asked to urge the public to
obtain in advance the tags which
must be filled out and attached to
insured, c.. O. ID. and registered
parcels. Attention also is called
to the necessity of having par
cells properly wrapped and adj
dressed. The address of the
sender must appear on the face
of the package, preferably in the
upper left hand corner. All
parcels must be presented at the
postoffice window or given to
rural carriers and not placed in
ordinary mail drops.
Of course, the postoffice viii
be helped, just as everybody else
will be helped, by early shop
ping. And then. the people will
be helping themselves by ship
ping with care, that is, packing
with care and addressing with
care. 1t is a wise policy to ship
your gifts early. Put a little
legend on your package: Not to
be opened until Christmas day"
In ninety-nine out of one hun
dred cases the injunction will be
needed.
The postmaster general calls
special attention to the insurance
feature connected with the pal
Gel post system and advises that
the public make liberal use Of the
same. The feature is one OF the
very best that has yet been de-
veloped in connection with The
parcel post and many people have
not as yet come TO the point
where they have familiarizcd
themselves with it and make the
use of it which should be made.

The heavy purchases of horses
made throughout the West by
British and French agents for
war use, is presenting a serious
problem to the quartermaster's
department of the United States
army, and it is feared that it
will soon be impossible to obtain
enough horses for its own pur-
poses during the present year.
Already the young horses brought
in to remount stations cost SIT
per head more than last year,
and these horses are too young
to be put in service at once. The
regular cavalry horses are worth
$50 a head more now than year
ago.

human and thousands of us are
related to them by blood. In
deed, in large sense, they are
all our brothers. In recognition
of that fact it is our privilege
and opportunity to do whatever
we properly may toward re-
storing the essentials of ordered
life after the conflict shall have
ceased.

Among the recent arrivals in
New York are 1,70O pieces of
tourist baggage. the latest batch
from the war zone of Europe.
This makes in round numbers a
total of 25,0 trunks and other
pieces recovered abroad and
brought to this country, consti-
tuting notable tribute to
American efficiency in baggage
rustling.

Aiken fiiniSter a Suicide.

With bottle of poison beside
him, the Rev Jesse Plunkett.
who lived between Windsor and
White Pond, in Aiken county.
was found last Tuesday afternoon
in dying condition in his field.
he died a short time afterwards
without regaining consciousness.
A note found on his person.
written with pencil, stated that
Chree negroes with whom the
minister had had trouble forced
him to drink the poison, but
every physical fact pointed to
suicide. The three negroes were
at work a short distance from
where Mr.. Plunkett was found.
and there were only his own
tracks in the sand leading to the
stump against which he rested.
He had no pencil in his pocket,
and it was evident that the note
had been written before the
poison was taken.

1t is inevitable that the UnitcG
States should, in commercial
sense, be the beneficiary Of tn,
war. This is am accident which
we as the friends of mankind
deplore, but which as a nation
of producers we are compelled
to regard as an extraordinary
opportunity for the expansion
Of our productive industries.
Eventually America will be the
overwhelming victor, because
with her vast resources and un-
interrupted activity she will be
required to assume the foremost
rank as the provider. This is a
decree sof the fates: our hands
are clean; we shall profit legiti-
mately, fairly and abundantly
not because of our designs but
because of our position and re-
sources.

HOUSE PROTECTS
 LABOR UNIONS Organizations Exempt From Prosecutions as
 Trusts.

Washington, June 1.-Without a dis senting vote the POT members of the House present today wrote into the Clayton antitrust bill provision ex- empting labor and farmers organlza- tions from prosecution under the Sherman law or other trust legislation as conspiracies in restraint Of trades, but holding members of said organize ton liable for acts which are ad- judged in restraint of trade.
 The House rejected proposed amendment granting similar exemp- ton to farmers associations, formed for the purpose of community buying and selling.
 Attacks on the sections of the Clay ton bill legalizing conferences and agreements among railroad officials were shut off when it became known the sections were rafted by the Inter- state Commerce Commission. Sucn agreements and conferences must meet the approval of the commission and complete records of them must pc given the commission. The agreement cannot have anything to do with flx. ing of rates, pooling or division o' | traffic

G0ULDS ID THE
 RESCUE OF MO. ?
Company Saved From Re. ceivership, $20, 900
 Extended.

New York, June 1-The Gould inter- ests and Speyer & company stepped into the breach today and saved the Missouri Pacific Railway company from the jaws of receivershlp.
 Receavership was prevented by an agreement entered into between Speyer X company the Jay Gould estate to purchase any notes unde- posted under the extension agree ment and thereupon deposit them under the agreement
 Up to the close of business a trifle more than $20,000,000 of the $25 5,000,- 900 due today, had been deposited for extension for one year. Upon the advice of the Union Trust company holders of the trust deed under the note indenture and their lawyers, the Missouri Pacific was advised it would be necessary to have practically all of the notes pledged for extension tC make the plan operative.

55,000 R. R. MEN TO VOTE ON STRIKE Recess Taken Until July 14
 by Conferees at
 Chicago. INVOLVES ARKANSAS
Ninety eight Railroads West of Line from Fort William. Canada, to New Orleans Included in
 Labor Differences.

Chicago. June Negotiations for new wage scales and working condi- tions for 5000 locomotive engineers and firemen on ninety-eight railroads were suspended today until July IA. The railroad officials and the cm- ployes' committee found themselves so far apart that a recess was taken to permit the engineers and firemcn to take strike vote on the following suggestions:
 First, will you accept the present wage scale and working condition for another year? or
 Second, will you insist upon your original demands for increases in wages and changes In working condi- tions, and if it becomes necessary tC secure them will you withdraw from the service?
 The negotiations have been on since January 27.
 According to the railroad officials the wages now paid the employees in volved are $67 750.0 a year. The in crease asked by the engineers an( | firemen, they state, would add $27, 000,000 or 40 per cent to that amount The total mileage of the railroads af fected is 40,000 miles.
 They include all railroads west Of line running from Fort William, Can ada, through Chicago to New Orleans
 All Canadian roads, except the Gran
 Trunk Pacific, are involved.
