can't dodge 'em. They're in win
dows and tackled all over town.
We also thought winter had left US
for this season. What's the matter
with the weather mans machinery?
Push the summer lever!
What's the use of getting on the
water wagon in New York. Fish,
lizards and eels are issuing from
many water taps, and in one meter an
eel foot long was captured.
You "see things" whether you're
able to walk straight or not.
The proposed Municipal Court act
is about as popular as ice skates in
the summer time.
States Attorney Hoyne is far from
backward about telling the public
what he thinks of it. And his opinion
agrees with slews of others that are
coming to light.

CLAIMS PARCEL POST HAS HIT
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Washington, March 23.-'Fresh
eggs, butter, vegetables and fruit at
your door each day, right from the
hen, the churn, the garden and the
orchard. That is what we have been
working for, and in opening the par
eel post to such commodities the
postofice department has struck
terrible blow at the high cost of liv-
ing" said Mrs. Ellis Logan, president
of the district federation of women's
clubs today.
Postmaster General Burleson has
issued an order permitting the ship
ment of crates of eggs, poultry, but
ter, vegetables and fruit by parcel
post. The innovation, which will be
tried out at Washington, Boston, St.
Louis, San Francisco, Atlanta, Balti-
more, Detroit and half dozen other
postoffices, will soon be extended to ,
all parts of the country.
I'VE are expecting this move"
Mrs. Logan said, land have been pre-
pairing for it. Already there is a
cylindrical papier-mache egg case on
the market, in which from one to
three dozen eggs may be shipped for
six cents.
''This new departure will place the
housewife in direct communication
with the producer and help her in
countless ways. 1t will cut out the
troublesome marketing, reduce the
cost and above all insure fresh and
pure edibles."

New Locomotives Have Thrown
Enginemen Out Of Work.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.
THE CHICAGO VASE HEARING

A rumor, has been persistent in
Tulsa, Okla, railway circles that the
Santa Fee has taken over the Midland
Valley railroad.
For some time it has been known
that negotiations toward that end have
been pending and from a well-authen-
ticated source received in Tulsa yes
terday, the deal has been consum-
mated" said a morning Tulsa paper a
few days ago.
Topeka officials do not put much
faith in the supposed Midland Valley
purchase. President Ripley has said
repeatedly this fall that the Santa Fee
would make no extensions.
1t is also rumored among the optim-
istic people of Tulsa that the Santa Fe
will build a line from Tulsa to Shaw
nee through Sapulpa, thus shortening
the main line of the Santa Fe sixty
miles and sending the California
trains to Oklahoma instead OF through
Kansas and Colorado.
Tulsa is expecting to have the Santa
Fee shops for Oklahoma located at Tul-
sa. The Frisco shops are already in
the enterprising city and if Santa Fe
shops are ever located there, with the
oil and gas regions Astounding. Tulsa
people should be happy.
Regarding the purchase of the Mid
| land Valley, a Santa Fee official said,
II do not believe that the move is
contemplated just now. It has been
| talked of several times. but at the
present time do not believe the Santa
Fee can afford to take over the other

ASSIST SMALL SHIPPERS.
Railroads Are Supplying Them With
RcYenue STAMPS.

AS an assistan nee. to their patrons in
complying with the regulations of the
emergency revenue law just effected,
railways in Kansas as rule have
placed the stamps on sale in their Of
fices for convenience of shippers. 1t is
aimed in this way to protect the ship
ping public against the breaking of the
law, as under the act it is necessary
that a one-cent revenue tax stamp be
placed on all bills of lading. mani

ments pertaining to shipments. where
the charge for such service exceeds 5
cents.
With regular shippers, such as
manufacturing or industrial concerns,
the stamps are purchased in large
quantities direct from the internal
revenue department, but for the con-
venience Of the Occasional shipper
they may be secured through the rail-
road agencies.
