 At the state convention of the
 woman's organization recently held

 in the future success of the temper 6nce movement was the generatioH
 which is about to attain the voting age and that this phase of the work had been neglected to some extent in the past. And so in the plans which were laid at that time for the campaign of education which will be carried on in this state during the COiIlIIS SuIlIltI diIu ntAl NiHttl Wal one which had for it's object the bringing of the two above amed societies into closer relations and to enlarge the scope and influence of both.

U. is also taking an active interest in this branch of the work.
 The meeting tonight is the first gun to be fired in the campaign which will have for it's slogan, Every young person in the state a temper ance worker" The young people will receive words of encoura cement and counsel calculated to spur them on to greater efforts for the cause. the speaker being Senator Drachman. Powers, Mrs. Gam mage. and others MT. Drachman and MT. Powers jointly introduced the prohibition bill in the regular session of the legislature.

WAR MAKES BIG HOLE,
 IN POSTAL RECEIPTS

A statement covering the fiscal op- erations of the postoffice department for the first half of the current fiscal year, as submitted to the postmaster general and to the secretary of the | treasury by the auditor for the postof- flee department. shows audited receipts of $143.249,S4S.1S. a decrease of $456- l5O.49 as compared with the same per iod of last year. The expenditures tot aled $l49,7l6,91244 as compared with $l4O, SO,O06.65, an increase of $9136,- 965.79 over the corresponding six months of the preceding year. The ex- cess of audited expenditures and losses over audited revenues for the first half of the fiscal year. therefore, amounts to $642S,719
 Eighty per cent of the total expendi- lures involved six principal items. as follows: Railroad transportation. s27. 142, 715.11: rural delivery service, s25, 4 244.045.79; clerks in postoffices. s21, 967S04.45: city delivery carriers. s2O.- 423.205.49: compensation to postmast CTS, S15,23S,S SS2.52; and railway postal clerks. s13.9O2. .243.1S.
 In connection with this financial statement. Postmaster General BurIe- son said:
 "The deficit is directly attributable to the European war which interrupted the normal growth of postal revenues The principal losses of revenue were sustained in the receipts from first class and foreign mail and internation- al money order business.
 The closing of the stock exchang- es last fall was one of the factors which reduced the flow of hotb domestic and foreign letter and registered mail and cut big hole in postal receipts at the large cities. Then. soon after the war began, advertising generally fell off and clrcularizatiOn for the promotion of new business practically ceased, facts which immediately were reflected in postal finance
 Mail order exchange also was for q time seriously restricted Tn course ,ot the recent hearings in New York in connection with the failure of the J. B. Greenhut company it was brought out that the mail order business trade of that one concern dropped off at least 50 per cent
 Were it not for the parcel post. the deficit for the first half of the present fiscal year undoubtedly would be much larger
