AERIAL MAIL SERVICE

When the postofice department a
Jew months ago asked for bids for ae-
toplane mail service for seven routes
Im Alaska and for one from New Bed
eord to Nantucket, Il was realized that
was making an effort to encourage
Ihe development of aviation and to
snvel the possibilities which it holds in
store for this government work
through actual tests.
Now that the bids have been opened
tnd II has been found that there is a
shance to make such a test over but
,ne OF the routes, and that in Alaska
yetween Seward and Iditarod, a dis
.ance OF $50 miles inland, it becomes
evident that either those who might
,b interested In such proposition
nck confidence in their ability to live
1n TO the requirements OF the govern
nant OF else there are other fields
which are more attractive at this time.
Nothing could serve better as a
means OF demonstrating the merits OF
irronlanes than the faithful carrying
iuf of such contracts, but at the pres
ne time the manufacturers Of flying
narhines are deeply interested in
urning out military machines. There
tire orders being filled not only for
hin country but for those abroad SO
hat with the lack OF machines and
non TO operate them those who might
tharwise be interested In mail carry
6 service are giving their attention
other and probably more profitable
tslne6B
This branch Of the government has,
owever. indicated its willingness to
elp aviation and unquestionably the
time ~ coming when mail deliveries
in ny made through the air, but It
70 re hoped that the departments Of
he government which have to do with
nu defense OF the nation WIN show as
uunA enthusiasm to make use OF and
oValop the aeroplane as the postofice
Fpnftment has.

Mr.. Editor: There are lot of peo-
pie in the world who hate dogs, and
hate all who like dogs, and they rush
into print on every possible occasion
to influence others to hate as they do.
One of their pet arguments is the al
legged fact that farmers cannot keep
sheep because of the large number of
dogs, the dogs thus preventing this
profitable live stock industry. What
these farmers would like to do is to
turn a flock of sheep into some back
pasture, salt them once or twice a.
month, shear them once a year, sell
the wool, mutton and lamb and pocket
the money. They don't want to take
care of the sheep by putting them in
dog proof pens at night as they do
their poultry and other stock. Sheep
must be easy money.
Why do farmers want to keen sheep
when other stock are so much more
profitable? A eve breeds only once a
year, has only one or two lambs at a
time, while a sow breeds twice a year
with Is to 25 young a year. A pig at
8 weeks old is worth as much as a
lamb at months. A lamb at 8
months may weigh rs pounds, while
ten pigs could as easily weight 5000
pounds. and the latter usually sell at
two or three cents higher per pound.
Then it takes far more feed to make
a pound Of mutton than to make a
pound of pork. A table before me by
Prof Wing states that it takes only
six pounds of dry matter to make a
pound of pork, while it takes II

COMMERCE EXPERTS.

The announcement that the govern
ment is looking for experts in COM
merce to be placed in Washington and
in the district offices in some of the
principal cities indicates that new in
terest is being manifested in the de-
velopment of the foreign trade of this
country, or to take care Of that vol
ume of business which can be had by
this country If there is the proper dis
position to go after it. These experts
which the government is seeking will
be required to handle Independently
particular<lines of research and other
work connected with foreign trade, to
answer inquiries and to take charge
of correspondence, to prepare papers
on economics and business conditions
and on public and private finance in
foreign countries, both for publication
md for use in the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce or some other
branch Of the government service.
The government is apparently un-
dertaking to inform itself and others
who may be interested upon the trade
conditions and opportunities, and what
it needs is men who are. capable OF
taking hold of such work Taken in
connection with the establishment of
branches in South America by the
National City Bank Of New York city
which has stated that twice as many
would have been established in the
past year if the men could have been
found to fill the stats. there is evil
dence that a determined effort is being
made to solve this problem of in
creased foreign trade and solve il
right.
There is a certain amount of work
in this connection which falls upor
the government and a proportion
which manufacturers and others con-
nected with trade development must
assume, but it is gratifying to see thai
some move is actually being made
along important lines. Foreign trade
is not going to come or increase by
simply wishing for It.

INCREASING The ARMY.

After long delays and the presenta-
ton Of numerous plans for increasing
the army OF this country, the result
Of the conference between the COM
nittees Of the senate and the house
ought to mean the early passage of a
compromise bill which will set in mo-
ton a plan for better military pre-
paredness. That It will fall far short
OF what a country Of this size requires
in the way OF an army. without in the
least tending to mtlitarism, is prom
Used. but 1t is necessary that a start
should be made.
Had the bill which received favor
able action in the senate been accepted
by the house, it is not believed that
any too great provision for the mill
tary defense would have been made
- view If the manner in which an
army must Of necessity be distributed.
This was in accordance with the rec
onmendations Of the war college and
~ ny further claimed to have had the
support Of the administration, but the
support in behalf OF it was not sufi-
Gent to overcome the opposition, which
looks upon a small addition to the
army as entirely adequate.
Under the compromise which has

peace standing Of the army will be
2o6 900, which in case of an emer-
gency can be raised to a trife over a
quarter Of a million of regulars, in ad-
dition to which there will be the fed
eralized national guard amounting to
425.000 more, but 1t is to be realized
that a minimum Of 100000 at least is
required for service in the island pos
sessions and in the coast artillery SER
vice. and that those in the quarter
masters and medical departments can
not be regarded as contributing to the
military strength. however important
they are in case Of trouble.
The one ground for satisfaction thus

Ever since widespread attention was
called to the fact that there was q Sc
rioue shortage Of raw material Tor pa
per manufacture. and that as the result
there was sharp increase in the value
OF waste paper and old rags, which
many people had been In the habit Of
burning In order to get rid Of them
since the bother Of saving them much
more than balanced the cash they
brought there has been q brisk trade
for those who make q business Of
handling such material.
Not only has 1t served to relieve the
situation somewhat but It has pointed
out one Of the many ways in which
much of the waste which Is steadily
going on can be checked. There are
many avenues for blocking the wastes
which 20 hand in hand with extrava-
gance. and until attention is called to
it in some such way as It has been in
connection with the shortage Of paper
making materials little thought is apt
to be given to It. It Is much easier to
throw away than It is to save unless
the habit Is formed, but with the
proper incentive the prevention Of
waste holds out great possibilities not
only to the individuals and business
houses, but to the industries which
make use of such material.
When it is realized that something
like $1,000 tons of different kinds of
paper and paper board are manufac-
tured every day in the United States
ana a large proportion Of this after it
has served its purpose could be used
over again in some class Of paper, it
can be appreciated what large con-
tribution can be made by saving what
is now burned or wasted instead Of
being obliged to replace it by new
materials. 1t is as important that rags
should be saved for paper making as
it was in the early history of the pa
per industry, and a little attention in
this direction not only relieves the
drain upon the sources of supply for
new materials but it serves as one of
the ways of meeting the steadily in
creasing cost Of living.

TRAGEDY OF STORE HAIR

under by other hair sticking right out
in front Of everybody. Say. girls, I
would wish 1t to happier to my
worst enemy! It felt just like it
couldn't be anything but q night
mare.
s'For a minute the thing iust Law
there in the bottom Of the auto like 1t
was chucxIing to itself and PLANNING
what it would do next and then it be-
gun doing it. First IL dipped around
q little bit. gentle like. and then 1t
hoped up and batted Jim in the
face. Jim batted back at it kind of
surprised at first. like it was a mos
quito, and it bumped down into the
bottom of the auto again. Then 1t
hoped up and bobbed against the wind
shield and then it took another swat
at Hnl-seemed like it had took a real
fancy to the lad and couldn't leave
hi@ alone. Say, It was the real cutie
all right!
And about the time I come to and
was going to take a whack at it 1t
c1um up over the wind shield and
took header down into the street.
See it would q been a circus all right
if the Joke had a been on somebody
else! bet there was a couple OF mill
lion folks having the time of their
lives before Jim got a strangle hold on
that thing and hoisted it back into
the auto. He'd been so busy up to
then that he hadn't really looked at
me, I guess, but when he did! Honest
to Pete. girls. he just stood there and
gasped like a fish
For the love of Mike he says. for
tho love of Michael"
Miss Riley gave little gulp. Then
her eyes filled with tears.
Say girls" she said after mo-
ment's pause, 'T can't wish none of
you any better luck than to get a fell
lok like Jim. All he did was just
hop back into the car and hand me
my hair and give my hand kind of
squeeze after the folks quit looking
and start the car for home.
II don't know how got my hat and
my hair nagain. All I remember is
the minute I got inside the house

to and 1 cried and I cried. And be-
the arm of the chair and he was kind
of hugging me up to hisr and then
when I stopped bawling he said,
What's the plot in the sob stuff, old
girlT Honest. girls, he hadn't tumbled!
Huh,' he says, when I told him
that now he knew I didn't have any
! hair he wouldn't like me any more.
Well, did you think it was your hair
I was crazy about? Why, old dear, he
says, if you didn't have a hair on
your blessed head there amt a girl

no trick for girl with a whole lot
of busy hair to make herself look

There was reverent silence for a
