ON NATIONS SAV|ORS

The Rev Mr.. Howard Of the First
English Luthertn church, spoke to the
high school pupils this morning on the
characteristics of Washington and Lin
coin. zone of the most important ele,
ments which entered into the lives of
Washington and Lincoln was their in.
tellectual development. What these
two great men obtained from the
schools of their time was very small
but that which they did obtain was
studied and every detail examined.
Another trait was their physical fit
ness. They were the best athletes
of their time, and physical fitness,
together with their intellectual power
made it possible that they could over
come the problems that confronted
them.

WEIGH MAIL SACKS
HANDLED BY ROADS

Railway mail weighing started yes
terday on orders from the railway mail
division of the postoffice department.
This will continue for some time in
order to determine the rate of pay the
railroads should receive for carrying
mail, since the interstate commerce
commission has said the recompense
for parcel post transportation is in
sufficient.
This will not mean extra work in the
local postoffice as only few sealed
sacks must be weighed and the
weights recorded. The weighing will
be done at the railroad postoffice
branches and in the mail cars.

vote on legislation with the initiative
by 10 per cent of the voters to compel
the secretary of state to put the meas
ure to a vote Of the people at the next
election believe the bill will passsthe

mer negative vote is also expected.
Study Of the measure has gained
many supporters for it. Friends argue
that 1t will take many moral issues out
Of politics and would provide q weigh.

tors would not be bound by it.
Under law such as that proposed
by McConaha the liquor question
