FAILED TO OBSERVE RULINGS
Wonderful Tinsel Post Cards and Cal
endars and Many Other Small Gifts
go to Furnace on Account of Failure
of senders to Mail Them Properly.

Twelve hundred people living in
other cities and states and in foreign
countries to whom Kenosha friends and
relatives sent Christmas greetings will
never know of the thoughtfulness of
the Kenosha people as today the Of
ficials at the Kenosha postofice began
the work of destroying the great ac-
emulation Of mail matter which col
lected during the Christmas holidays.
There are a half dozen big pigeon
holes filled with the unavailable matter
and it is filed to the brim with mes
sages of good cheer.
Continued advertisement of the fact
that there are certain sorts of unmail-
able post cards has failed to penetrate
the minds of Kenosha people. Even a
trip of these unavailable cards through
the schools of the city, while undoubt-
edly of educational effect, failed to
stop the food of unavailable post cards.
Some of these cards are wonderful
hand wrought cards on which some one
had worked for hours. Others must
have been purchased at considerable
expense by the people who pretended
to prepare them for mailing. A large
majority of the cards are Christmas
greetings covered with tinsel. Some of
the senders went as far as to enclose
the cards in the paper envelopes but
then failed to seal them or if they did
seal them put on one cent postage
stamp. Of course this would be suf-
fcient to carry the cards to their des-
tination, but the department has not
as yet granted the one cent letter post
age and they went with the others in
to the box to be destroyed. These
cards and Christmas greetings probably
represent value of more than humid
red dollars, to say nothing of the post
age that was paid upon them.
In former years these were all sent
to the dead letter Office said Assist
ant Postmaster Zens, "but under the
new order of the department we are
instructed to destroy this class of I'M
mailable matter here. They are held
two weeks and then taken to the
furnace room and burned or given away
to children who may come into the
postofice..'
There will be the usual large mum
Der of parcels t. go to the dead letter
office from the Kenosha postof1ce this
year. Most of these have been held
either for lack of postage or for lack
OF proper address and wherever it was
possible the senders of the parcels or
the. people to whom they were consign-
ed have been notified. Some of the
eonsignees have declined to send the
postage necessary for the forwarding
Of the parcels. These parcels will get
into the dead letter Office within week
and they will be sold along with other
hundreds of parcels sent in from other
offices. The amount of first class mail
to be sent to the dead letter Office is
increasing very rapidly. Hundreds of
letters are received weekly addressed
to Kenosha people who can not be
found and who have left no forward
irg address and all of these letters
must go to the dead letter Office.

The Electric Mali.

The electric mail service which the Telepost committee of the United States senate in it's report of March 4, 1915, recommends tc the consideration of the postmas- ter general, means telegraph ser vice throughout the United States in conjunction with the United States postoffice. The rates at which the Telepost will give this service are l cent word for 10 words and one-half cent a word for 50 words or more. The cleo tric mail service will differ from the present telegraph service in rates and in that the postal facili- ties would be used to collect and deliver messages sent at the re- duced rates. In case special de- livery or messenger service is de- sired an additional payment of ten cents would be required.

 If hash is stirred, it is better tc use a fork instead of a spoon, as il will make the hash lighter. h. stead of stirring hash, some cooks allow it to remain until it is nicely Drowned on one side, then turn with a pancake turner so as not to break the crust that is formed This makes a nice looking dish when the hash is slipped onto a platter.

WHY |S WOMAN

DESTINY OF NATIONS DEFENDS

By w. D.. Lewis.
President Texas Farmers Union.


 Why ss woman dissatisfied? Why does she grow. restless under the crown of womanhood? Why is she weary of the God-given jewel of moth erhood? Is it not sufficient political achievement for woman that future rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in her arms and kneel at her feet? Can ambition leap to more glorious heights than to sing lullabies to the world S greatest genuises, chant melodies to master minds and rock the cradle of human destiny?
 God pity our country when the hand. shake of the politician is more grati. flying to womans heart than the pat, ter of children's feet.

God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked
 Nation.

I follow the blow for a living and my views may have in them the smell of the soil my hair is turning white under the frost of many winters and perhaps 1 am a little od-fashioned but 1 believe there IS more moral in- f1uence in the dress of woman than i'll all the statute books of the land. As an agency for morality. l wouldn't give ny good old mothers home made gowns for all the suffragette's constitutions and bylaws in the world.
 As power for purifying society, l wouldn't give one prayer of my saintly mother for all the women's votes in Christendom. As an agency for good government, wouldn't give the plea of mothers heart for righteousness for all the oaths of office in the land.
 There is more power in the smile of woman than in an act of congress. There are greater possibilities for good government in her family of laughing children than in the cab inet of the president of the United States.
 The destiny of this nation lies in
 
 the home and not in the legislative halls The hearthstone and the fam fly Bible vii. ever remain the source of our inspiration and the Acts of the Apostles will ever shine brighter than the acts of Congress-

Woman Is Ruler Over All.

Why does woman ehafe under re- straint of sex? Why revile the hand of nature? Why discard the skirts that civilization has clung to since the beginning of time? Why lay aside this hallowed garment that has wiped the tears of sorrow from the face of childhood? In it's sacred embrace every generation has hidden it's face in shame; clinging to it's motherly folds tottering children have learned to play hide and seek and from it youth learned to reverence and re- spect womanhood. Can man think of his mother without this consecrated garment?
 Why this inordinate thirst for pow CT? Is not woman all powerful Man cannot enter this world without her consent he cannot remain in peace without her blessing and unless she sheds tears of regret over his depar- ture, he has lived Tn vain. Why this longing for civic power when God has made her ruler over all? Why crave authority when man bows down ant worships her? Man has given woman his heart. his name and. his money What more does she want?
 Can man find 1t Tn his heart to look with pride upon the statement that his honorable mother-in-law was one of the most powerful political bosses in the country that his distinguished grandmother was one of the ablest filibusters in the Cenate or that his mother was noted warrior and her name terror to the enemy?
