EXPRESS
BUSINESS HIT
Likely Now to Balance of
Public Money Transportion

Washington. D. c., Aug. IRE
cent events indicate a complete loss
of all government business by the
express companies. But a more sew
ere blow even than that, officials Of
the companies assert, is the fact
that the government once the biggest
express customer, now actually is a
most aggressive competitor.
The latest act in this line was the
statement from the Treasury Dep
artment yesterday that plans have
been perfected by which, after Aug.
16, all government money and secur-
tiles will be transported by register
ed mail. The express companies
have handled this business for %
years, and their revenue from that
source amounted approximately to
500, 900 annually.

bleachers and let your enthusiasm
do the rest. Be one OF the bowling
mob: yell as loudly as you want TO
mhen yCu feel like it! It's good for
yoqg Every time you jump up and
down and yell for ahomerun, every
time you forget yourself and let
your excitement have full play, the
blood is sent racing thru your veins
and arteries and every organ of your
body is purged and stimulated. Ev-
cry time you "bawl out" the umpire
and cheer your fayorites the oxygen
rushes into your lungs, worry aud

holly contested game is more stimuli
lating than drinking whisky, and it
leaves no injurious after-effects.

of harness racing experts.
Prospects for excellent racing this
year are of the best. For the seven
early closing events there were 203
entries, an average of tWenty-nine. the

been made by Minnesota and Iowa
this year. Entries for late closing
events close on August 23rd.

set aside for special match race and
the contestants for this event will be
