MORE ASSISTANCE TO TAKE
CARE OF BUSINESS
Parcel Post Window be Opened This
Week-Heayy Increase in Postal
Insurance is Noted

Extra clerks and carriers will be
utilized in the local postoffice to re-
lieve the congestion due to the holi-
day rush of mail during this and the
coming week, according to Postmaster
Cornwall, who states that he has re-
ceived permission from the postoffice
department to utilize whatever serv-
ice necessary in order to facilitate the
movement of mail.
During the latter part OF the pres
ent week a special window will be
opened in the south end OF the post
office for the purpose of exclusively
handling parcel post business. The
public is urged to cooperate with the
postal officials in the handling of
parcel post packages by having pack
ages wrapped firmly and securely with
both the name Of the sender and
the name and address OF the destina-
ton written plainly.
The Christmas mail is already be-
ginning to arrive in Moscow, each
day the mail matter becoming more
heavier. An extra carrier was plac-
ed on the city delivery this week and
two extra carriers will be put in
service next week besides an extra
clerk in the mailing room.
I'VE find that the public is making
strong use of the insured package
feature of the postoffice department,
more packages being insured of late
than has been evident in the past"
said Postmaster Cornwall today 'sThe
cost is SO slight for insuring mail
matter that it is economy for send
er to use the service Packages val
ued up to 50 may be insured for three
cents. Packages valued from IS to
S25 may be insured for five cents
Packages valued from $25 to $50 may
be insured for 10 cents and packages
valued between $50 and 500 may be
insured for % cents. Under this rate
one can readily see the economy"

LECTURE TONIGHT
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Judge ROLAND A. Russell of Illinois
VIII Entertain Moscow People at
High-Sc Auditorium With an
Able Address

Judge ROLAND A. Russell of Illinois
will appear at the high-school audi
torium this evening. This is the sec
ond number on the lecture course.
Harry A. Arnold who was to fill this
engagement has been forced to leave
the lecture platform for a time on
account of poor health. Assurance is
given that Judge Russell will give a
lecture in every sense equal to the
one that would have been given by
the regular talent. His subject will
be "The Fine Art OF Living"
Hon. ROLAND A. Russell was in the
year 1897 elected judge of McLein
county, the largest county in the
state, which position he held for 12
years During his administration, the
laws of the state put the juvenile
court work in his court, and thus
Judge Russell had charge of the juv-
emile court work for 10 years. Next
to the city of Chicago, this juvenile
court handled more cases than any
other in the state. Such public serv-
ice brought out the best there was in
him, and so marked was his ability
as a speaker and public servant that
the whole state began to listen to
him.
In January. 1910, Governor Deneen
appointed him superintendent of the
state reformatory at Pontiac. Illinois,
which is known to be one of the
largest and most important in the
United States. With years Of serv-
ice in this great work, and with a
previous experience Of 16 years as
a professor in the Bloomington, Hi
nois, law school. Meanwhile, his
writings were published insAbook

Aside from those holding season
tickets, the charge of admission to
he lecture will be so cents. 1t is the
purpose of Superintendent Henry to

SHIPPING WHEAT
RAIL TO NEW YORK
FIRST TINE in HISTORY OF WEST
COAST WHEAT GOING BY RAIL
TO EAST COAST
Is For Export Shipments Made From
Moscow Movement is
For Allies

Wheat for export, presumably for
the Allies, is being shipped by rail
from Moscow to New York, it be-
came known here today, but the ex-
tent of the shipments have not been
disclosed, though it was learned five
carloads are being shipped today and
that five carloads had been shipped
from this point earlier this month.
The shipments eastward are being
made by the Interior Warehouse COM
pany, of which Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., of Portland, are the managers.
The transportation of wheat by
rail to New York from common
points in the west is extraordinary
and so far as known the present
shipments by rail to New York are
the first in history. The rate to New
York from Moscow is so cents per
bushel.
The local agent of the Interior CON-
pany would not comment on the fact
Ol Tie SulpulSulS UcluS luduc WHcu
seen today, but it is believed that
lack of ships on the west coast and
the fact that the Panama canal is
closed, together with the necessity of
rapid transportation to Europe is the
cause for the extraordinary method
Of reaching the east coast for export.
1t is believed that thousands of bu-
shells of wheat is being billed by rail
from other western points to New
York. .s.....
The wheat markets are at prac-
.ical standstill due to the lack of
ships and also because 'of a sufficient
volume of wheat being on hand for
home consumption. That the railroad
are reaping a rich har-
7est in handling tonnage of wheat for
eastern shipment is not denied. Dur
ng the latter part of November, 13
of wheat were shipped from
MOSCOW to Lexington, Ky, while fire.
luent shipments have been made to
chicago.

"PEKING, Dec 14-Your telegram

"The sovereignty of the Chinese re-

II have instructed the different min

to carry them out with due considera-

cement this closer and to exert the
utmost to promote the industrial and
commercial development of the two
nations.

The latter goes at length in quoting
other cases before the supreme court.

The letter is summed UP in a state,
ment that he will conduct tie case

of the people, that the employment OF
special counsel by the commissioners
in the case will not be at the expense
of the county, if he can prevent 1t,

same amount, or $90O to $500.
 There is a regular scale of increase for larger amounts.
 That most of the counties in Arkansas have snapped up these offers of free aid for several years past is shown by the fact that in 1913 Government aid amounted to $40,G00 while local appropria- tions amounted to $53, COG includ ing $2, 780 contributed by the rail- roads in transportations to the farm demonstration agents.
 This amount was greatly in- creased in 1914 when the total of nearly $i12,000 was spent for farm demonstration work in the State. It is expected that still larger increase will be seen this year, particularly in view of the great interest shown in inproy- ed and profitable farming meth ods, and the remarkable awaken Ing shown by bankers, business men and the public generally.
 With increased crop production absoutely shown by farm demon stration methods 1t is plain that money sent to maintain an agent in county, with the Government and College contributing nearly half the amount expended, is brought back into the county and spent among local business men through the increased value Of crops produced. In addition to this the farm demonstration a. gents are instrumental in making. farm life easier and more satis- factory and thefore easier. 4 phase of this IS seen in the boys corn, pig, and poultry club work, and in the girls canning club work, in demonstrating good roads, and other forms of con- ST fsuetlpe and instructive methods.

The cotton yield was 524 pounds, State average, but farmers following the advice of the farm demonstration agents raised an average of 1, 128 pounds to the acre.
 County Judge Marsh has receiv- ed a proposition from c. W. Wat son, State agent, farm demon stration work for Arkansas to be submitted to the Quorum Court that meets on October 27.
 The work costs more than the amount contributed to the Coun- ty by the Government and State College of Agriculture, and the difference, of course, has to be borne by the county where the work is done. For instance if the court will levy, in cash, $750, the College and Government will con- tribute $450 cash, and if the coun- ty will increase the amount by S150, the Government and Col lege will increase it's gift by the
