ABBEVILLE BAPTIST CHURCH

Next Sunday evening the pastor
will preach his fifth sermon on "the
European War;" the subject being:
''The Worlds Only Hope of Perma-
nent Peace" These sermons are at
tracing large audiences and it is
confidently expected that next Sun
day evening the largest audience of
the series thus far will gather. If
the present war results in one side
being crushed by force, will perma-
nent peace thereby be obtained?
The false hope that peace can be
obtained by might examined and
exposed. The true hope for perma-
nent peace discovered and declared.
The public invited.

users giyen the benefit of big re

users given the benefit of big re-
duction over current rates.
Nearly sixty bills were presented
at the present session of congress,
calling for one cent letter postage.
Scores of representatives and sena-
tors have been closely studying the
matter and have become united in
conviction that the time is ripe for
one cent postage, a reform sought
for many years, but only recently
brought to the attention of congress
through the persistent campaign on
the part of the National One Cent
Letter Postage Association.
At the present time letter users OF
the Unite States net profit to the
government of over s75,000,0OO
year over actual cost of distribution
At the same time large magazine in,
terests are. securing distribution OF
their product at one cent a pound
which means a great loss to the gov.
ernment, and to make up this loss
users of letter postage are paying q
profit of 100 per cent.
It is to correct this great injustice
that the postmaster general and his
hundreds of assistants throughout
the country are now employed. From
all indications one cent letter pos.
tage promises to be one of the most
important issues at this winters
session of congress.

ONE CENT POSTAGE
IN UNITED STATES.

Efficiency in the post office de-
partment with a proper readjustment
of rates will permit the government
to inaugurate a one cent letter rate
within the next year, according to
Postmaster General Albert S. Burle-
son.
This emphatic statement made by
the postmaster general before the
National Association of Postmasters
of the United States at their July
1916 Convention, indicates that this
important reform is much nearer
realization than most people be-
lieve and that next winter will see
radical steps taken toward this end.
In addressing the postmasters
General Burleson declared that they
are giving the best postal service in
the world today, and that is what the
American farmer and business man
are entitled to, for they pay for it.
He advised the postmasters to spare
no expense that means greater effici-
ency.
"But that does not mean extrava-
gance," said Mr.. Burleson. "Where
is an official who will tell me that
employees useless to the service,
should not be Topped off? l do not
want to be hard on postal employees.
1 believe the government should re-
quire only a certain number of hours
work, and that under sanitary and
comfortable conditions, at salary
not only adequate, but generous. 1t
is my purpose and your duty to see
that all employees perform an ade-
uuate service for the money ex-
pended.
"Every dollar intelligently saved
can be utilized for the Improvement,
development and extension of ser
vice, resulting in reduction in pos
tage for those served.
"Plans are being worked out for
the solution of railway mail service
problems. They are being solved in
a way that will enable the United
States to pay the railroads adequate
compensation for service rendered,
and pay only fer service received.
With this result, if next year we
can make those using the second
class mail service pay one-half
part of what they should, we can go
before congress and take the first
step toward penny postage"
"The fact that this year we have a
surplus of between $4,000,000 and
s5,OOO,OOO demonstrates that at last
the postal service is on a strong
business and self-supporting basis.
If we can keep down useless extrav-
agance, we can soon inaugurate one
cent postage in this country"
This frank statement from the
postmaster general substantiates de-
clarations which have ben made dur
ing the past year or two by officials
of the National One Cent Letter
Postage Association, which has its
headquarters at Cleveland, that with
economical operation of the depart
ment and a reasonable adjustment Of
postal rates, one cent letter postage
could be inauguarted without injury
to the federal government, and letter

THE SEA.GOING JITNEY.

The following street-car story has

Angeles an electric car met a jitney
bus with disastrous results, and "a
mong the passengers who were called
upon to give testimony was Jackie"
from the monitor Cheyenne. His
letter to the claim agent follows:

BITTEN BY MAD DOG

Mrs. Fred Lee of Big Stone Flat
was bitten by mad dog last week
and went to Portland Monday to take
the Pasteur treatment. Mrs. Lee
was attacked by the family pet dog in
the yard at the ranch. The ami
NAL tried to get to her face, but Mrs.
Lee protected her head with her arms
and the right arm was badly lacerat-
ed.
There is apparently no doubt of the
dog being mad. 1t ran amuck after
biting Mrs. Lee, and killed number
of chickens and cat, and bit another
dog. Both dogs were killed as soon
as possible. 1t is thought that the
dog was infected with rabies by a
pet coyote which was kept on the
ranch some time ago. The coyote
became rather vicious and was killed.
