Later.

Denver's new postoffice building is
to have cold storage plant for the
of parcel post articles. Postmaster
General Burleson has asked for it and
Comptroller of the Treasury Downey
has agreed to it.
Henceforth, or after the postoffice
is opened, the uneasy farmer will fear
not for his eggs Matching enroute to
the consumer. If the package is mark
ed "perishable' it will be slipped spec
Oily into the polar regions OF the post
office, there to await delivery.
Burleson's request for cold stor-
age plant in the Denver office is a pre-
liminary move toward placing such
adjuncts in all large postoffices in
America. The postmaster general ask
ed tho comptroller if the postal de-
partment has the authority to install
cold storage room in the new office
IN Denver with plant, and if so, are
there any funds available for the main
tenance and operation of such a plant :?
Downey was also asked by Burleson
II plants could he installed in other
postoifice buildings of the same class
as that one being erected in Denver.
In lengthy reply, Downey said that
as. "a general proposition. it has been
properly held that public buildings

unless specially limited. to construct
it in such a manner as to handle all
lines of business for which it is is in

There is the fellow who takes pride in saying
that he is independent of the town. He holds mort

buys most of his goods away from home and is the
star kicker He has very little property in the town
but is against every proposed progressive step, fear
ing that his taxes will be increased tenth of
per cent. He is tired and retired The community will
not have lost much when he is inferred

their goods by mail because theyhave idea that by

imagined economy is not the main inducement They
love pore the catalogues and discuss the diff

fascination.
There is still another class Of mail order buy

ends meet They save money sMeu part of the time

themselves that they do all of the time.
These latter folks are often made incurable cata-
