 Twelve other offices in the United States showed increase of from 50 to 100 per cent
 The report ofs Postmaster General Burleson states:
 For the fiscal year 1915 postal re- ceipts remained about stationary, whereas normally at least the aver age rate of increase, which was 7.21 per cent. for the years 1910 to 1914, inclusive, should have been maintain ed. This would have meant addi- tiona1 receipts of about $21,0Oo, 900. This sum approxfmates the cost of the European war to the American Postal Service.
 Special attention is given to the SO called short-paid postage evil It is pointed out that the failure to affix adequate postage to business letters destined for foreign countries often creates a bad impression in the minds of tn ose who receive the letters
 The expansion of the parcel post is described as follows in the report:
 notwithstanding the adverse bust- ness conditions resulting from the war; the year just ended records de- -sfrab1e and gratifying growth of the parcel post. In operation less than three years. this service has become a transportation agency of the great est importance.
 t"Fo enable the department to as- certain the growth of the service, as well as it's revenues and costs, periodf- cal counts have been made. and de- tailed information obtained at all firstN and second class offices.
 .4These statistics indicate that the Postal Service is now handling 1s000,- 900. 900 parcels annually. When ii is considered. that prior to the es- tablishment of fthe parcel post not more than one-fourth of that number were handled, the immense Popularity and growth of the service Is at once apparent
 Privilege and extravagance in the rural delivery service isN vigorously assailed. The report states:
 "A thorough investigation reveals mum erous examples of special faXer and privilege which, as a whole, con- stitute gross extravaganee. Frequent 1y new routes established, for a con- siderable part of the distance covered. duplicated old ones. Long retraces were numerous, which served only one or two families. In other eases it was found that short routes had been created over which service was provided twice d day. affording pa- the great majority
 At the post office here it was said today that the increase in postal sav- ings since the period included in the Burleson report wasfso great that the percentage now, no~ doubt, is greater even than that in New York city.

Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1915-09-30
READ THIS NOW-F1vE MILLION MAIL ORDER CATALOGUES

1t would be well to stop right now, Mr. Business Man, and do some
very serious thinking if you don't want to lose a lot Of your customers
this fall and winter. There is no time to be lost if you want to protect
your interests and hold your trade.
One great mail order house alone, according to an article in a
metropolitan newspaper, is o preparing to mail out five million
catalogues. That is just being sent out by ne house alone, and stats~
tics tell us there are rs different mail order concerns in the United
States.
Now if n house alone sends ii the enormou number of five
million catalogues, how many do you suppose will be sent out by the
whole 228 concern combined?
How many Of these carefully worded, handsomely printed and verv
anuring catalogues will be mailed to country people right here in our
w community eve to people in this DOWNRIGHT to II w us
tomers?
Isn't it fair to assume that almost every farm house, and NAM of
the town houses, will receive ne O more of these catalogues?
And lsnt 1t again fair to ssum that the people are going to paw
i've those catalogues, and look att the attractive pictures of the thous-
ands of articles, and read of the 'marveously low prices at which these
goods are sold?
And do you think there are many who resist the temptation
to send for some of those YER a1urng bargains" especially when
they are led to believe that the goods are sold by the mail order man
for less than what you charge?
knowing that to be just exactly what a great many of or country
and town trends will do unless measures are taken tic protect Ill local
in their legitimate territory, we ask you, seriously what are
you going to do about it?
hi office wants and stands prepared to do what it a to pro-
tect you and other local business firms from the constant encroach-
ment OF these numerous mail order houses who are doing Sc much
toward demoralzing local trade conditions, but we not do it alone
o without your cooperation.
The question is if this paper fights for you are you willing to fight
for yourself?
There is a effective remedy for this menace, if you care to apply
it, and n which has proven successful and highly profitable in other
communities.

LET THE PIGS DO THE GRUNT1NG

Let the pigs do the granting.
There is better work ahead for us.
Grunting never lessened the burden OF a load, eve pulled a cor
munity out of a rut, never added a dollar to n mans bank account.
Grunting makes pessmists, and pessimists have bad ivers, and
poor dgestions, and sour countenanees, and are general nuisances all
around.
And pessimists are always gruntng about something.
They grunt if times are bad; they grunt because they are not better
when they are good; they grunt v their meals, and " politics
and religion, and anything else that offers a chance to grunt.
And then they grunt because there is nothing left to grunt about
Gruntng is a habit with them-it is their daily pastime-and
nothing is so dear to their hearts as a great, big unadulturated grunt.
Many of us grunt a part of the time, but some folks grunt all of
the time. 8
Now let's quit granting.
Let's get down to hard tacks and dig a lot of wealth out of this
community. It's here, but grunting won't do the digging.
Let's make the coming year the greatest productive year in local

Pastor Uses Ball Team
to Illustrate Lenten
Talk

Dirty lives make rotten char.
acter; subtract the dirt and add 70
your character" said the Rev. n.
Lester smith In his MONDAY Len
ten talk In the Detroit opera house.
"Wednesday. His subject was "Ad-
dition by subtraction"
Every life must have subtrac-
tion," he continued. Learn to make
II addition. The carpenter hews 10
the line. The stone mason cuts 10
the shape. The sculptor chips OF
tte supernuous marble. The plan
Is the thing Of value. All IL well
lost that helps by It's going 20 bring
tic plan TO the clear-cut beauty OF
perfection. Everyone must Lore
their life. Learn to lose yours so
you will have " forever.
Subtraction Is addition when the
loss develops our latent powers. The
education OF q child In assisted at
lrss by helps. but the time soon
comes when the intellectual life II
greatly benefited by taking away
helps and props and requiring II TO
stand alone.
The moral welfare OF a child 10

upon proper occasion, but the time
cores when the rod must be laid
aside and with Il external compul-
sions toward righteousness. for good
ness springing from self-control 10
far better than that which is COM
PEELED by the rod.
THE comforts and luxuries OF life
arc good. but too frequently they
produce a fabbiness OF moral fiber
and an indolence In ambition and
purpose that arc absolutely destruc-
tive OF life. Then subtraction IL
good. Loss Is gain and poverty tc-
comes an asset, for II compels vigor
and effort that bring strength Of
manhood.
Subtraction Is addition when II IL
made for the purpose OF efficiency.
The Tigers have just gone to Texas
to lose some weight that they may
gain sufficient efficiency. we hope.
to win a pennant for change.
Every man who makes an honest
examination OF his life will find that
he carries many great and needless
burdens. habits that are not only OF
no benefit, but many that are a posi-
tive hindrance. Every man should
cast aside not only the drag upon
his life. but also every particle OF
supernuous weight.
"The great task OF Detroit's motor
engineers is to build their cars
light, TO throw away every pound OF
useless weight Detroit men ought
TO seek TO do the same thing with
their lives.
Subtraction Is addition when II
is made for the purpose OF puriflca-
ton. The crude ore OF our human
ity has much valuable metal In u.
Men and women OF Detroit assay
high In the fine and splendid quail
ties which enrich human life. ]
have never found in any city a inner
type OF men and women than ] ind

Belated Appointment
Prevents Loss of

While II is practically assured that
Aid. Harry J. Dingeman will be ap-

ish war veteran. and II is unlikely
that the change In the once will ar.
feet him. The other members Of
Mr.. Lawson's stan are under the
protection OF civil service.
The reason for delaying Aid.
Dingeman's appointment 10 purely a
political one. according to a state
ment made by a member OF the
mayors cabinet. Aid. Dingeman
holds an important once now as
chairman OF the council committee
on liquor regulation The Marx ad-
ministration draws support from the
saloonkeepers and the liberal ele-
ment In general. Aid. Dtngeman.

to support Charles II. Jasnowski.
the mayors candidate for prosecu-
tor.
"A report was Immediately circu.
lated among a number of east side
saloonkeepers that Aid. Dingeman
was To succeed Mr.. Lawson as cor
poration counsel. and that Aid. Her.
man Schultz, OF the Seventeenth
ward. an active supporter Of Guy A.
Miller, would become chairman OF
the liquor committee" said the cab
fnet oficer.
"Saloonkeepers were given TO un-
derstand that II they did not get out
for Miller there would be something
doing when Schultz became chair
man OF the liquor committee. The
LIQUOR committees work Is finished
by May 1. BY holding up the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Lawson's successor
until May 1. the mayor tacitly as
sures the saloonkeepers and others
that there will be no change In the
policy of the present liquor com
mittee. Il was pretty poor piece

bunch tried to pull OF on the mayor.
but they didn't have a chance on
