heretofore denied this accommodation from 500 to 1000 in number. Surely the slight delay it might occasion to one or several patrons should meet with little or no objection when it was shown that this had been the means of obliging many others with at least single delivery who previously had none whatever.

 Policy and Purpose of the Department
 It has been the policy and the pur- pose of this administration to make of the rural delivery and its partner in public bepefit. the parcel post, all that it's most 'sanguine projectors hop ed to accomplish. The Postmaster General is deeply interested in both, and has used to the utmost the great powers of his office and his personal influence as well to promote in every possible way these two great factors in our national life. He wants the man away from the greater advantages of commercial opportunity to have an equal chance with his more ravored brother in the cities. and gain for his industry, whatever it may be, the full est measure of benefit that govern ment can bestow. To this end the energies of the Department have been directed, the wisest counsels sought, and the greatest personal attention

given. As important postal centers provide an easy market for the prod ucts of the farm and the rate of pos tage is reduced by the extension of the local zones, motor delivery was established, whereby exchange was stimulated between producer and con- sumner, and both alike benefited. De- livery zones from these important centers will be, and have been, doubled; still others established, and the families tributary to these centers thus enabled. to take full advantages of this enlarged opportunity to mar ket the products of their industry to the best advantage.
 The administration expects to great ly widen and still further improve this public benefit and advantage un- til all sections and all localities Where rural service can be made operative shall have these conveniences afford ed them and have them generously maintained. Petitions for service are no longer necessary. The recommen- dations of the postmaster brings an inspector who goes over the ground, and if service can be made at all eff fective, it will at once be given. No considerations of administrative econ omy, no more saving of money by miserly methods or parsimonious pro- cess, is to stand in the way of any benefit which the rural delivery can give or wise public policy can sanc- tion. The common people, upon whom the burdens rest and upon whose toll the nations prosperity is built, are to have their share of Government favor in full measure returned to them and every aid to the furtherance of legitimate enterprise and effort se- cured to them by performance and by practice.
 What It Has Accomplished
 The rural delivery is indeed a boon to the country. Its measureless ad- vantages can not be estimated, nor need the cost of maintenance be con- sidered, for it has broadened the field

of the kind which jonathan ana me
the Lord admon- '""
ishes His followers to have the love
which In honor prefers one another.
This love doubtless stands pre-eminent
above earthly love, especially because
founded upon religious basis. Be
cause David loved God and sought to
be guided by His will, he conducted
himself with wisdom; and because jon
athan discerned this spirit Of wisdom
and righteousness, he loved David.
In proportion as we understand the
Bible and receive the spirit of the
Truth, we shall appreciate and copy

Of friendship or of duty to n monarch,
to our family or toward God. There
are many influences operating toward

friendship, true lOve-the best qualities
of heart and head are from the Lord.
We noted in a previous lesson how
Jonathan acted as peacemaker between
his father and David. Today's lesson
relates another occasion when iona

Realizing that his life was in danger
David mentioned his fears to iona
than. The latter was at loss to be
lieve that his father would break his
word, yet was impressed by Davids
attitude. The feast of the new moon
was at hand: and David was expected
to sit at the royal table. In harmony
with an arrangement between the two
friends, jonathan was to find out def
nitely his fathers intentions and to
communicate them to David.
On the second day of the feast the
king asked for the son Of Jesse" as
though he hated the very name David.
Jonathan replied that David had gone
to Bethlehem by his permission. APP
parently the king had been foiled In
his intention to kill David at this time,
and he vented his wrath upon his son,
whom really he greatly loved, In his
anger he threw his iavelin at iona
than. probably not with the intention
of striking him, but merely Of venting
his feroclous jealousy Jonathans
speech In return shows that he was
thinking less of what he himself was
risklng and more respecting the injus-
tice being done his friend.

The intent of jails and peni-

chief aim of the law enforcing

years since none of us thought it
an offense to give a drink to a

not to do so. Since public senti-

long course of education and laws
have been passed making it a
crime to handle the fruit of the

While the editor Of this paper be-

it is more than a venial sin when
the man not yet educated to
present day standard, which are
still very low, does offer drink
to a friend. The evidence of
moral turptitude was not over
whelming in the liquor case set
tied in Haley Thursday, and
though we are unacquainted with
the prisoner who pleaded guilty

for the best good Of the county.

There is through this part OF
Gilmore county % miles of the
state highway still to be built.
1t is up to Mountain Home to
build it if the job is to be done.
We do not know just the neces-
sary procedure to go through to
raise the money. But it is al
together probable that it will re-
quire bond issue. This must
either come from the county or
from a highway district to be
created of the territory included
in and contiguous to this city.
At the present time there Is an
annual levy made for road and
bridge purposes large enough to
take care of the interest and
sinking fund of very consider
able bond issue. There is also a
state law providing for the divert
ing of automobile license money
to such a fund. 1t is possible
that the money could be raised
and the road built with no pres
ent outlay OF great size and with
easy enough provisions made for
its payment that the increase IN
taxes would not be so great but
that we could afford it.
1t must also be remembered
tht every year more and more
people tour the country by auto.
1t is also a fact that one Ford OF
tourists will leave more money in
Mountain Home than thirteen
Pullman loads on the railroad.
Its the outside money that
keeps the town alive" One weea
last summer or arly this fall we
counted more than 80 loads OF
strangers going through town.
The traveller by car is always on
the alert for a good road and it S

word for to the people back home
So there you have your endless
chain that works while you sleep,

Mr. McVey says that his personal
knowledge of the extent of commercial
vice in Kalihi extends over only the
past six months, during which time
he has been a resident and church
worker in the section, but that one of
his able assistants, Sergt. Long, says
that for IS months past there have
been several h buses of ill-fame in the
section, more or less systematically

"No Question as to Character"
There is no question as to the
character of these places" McVey
says. They are frequented by many
different men, who come and go at all
hours of the night, often of the day,
and many come in autos. There is
much drinking and fighting. McDuf,
fie says that the police were never no.

of such notifications are kept, they

McVnv has had plenty of experience
dealing as an officer of the law with
vice conditions. He was sub-inspect-
or Of metropolitan police in Manila,
and he also served as a member of
the Philippines secret service At
Kalihi he is not only building up a
church, but a children's playground
and community social center, and he
says that vice conditions in the dis
trict have grown intolerable.
Later in the morning McDuffie said
that he had approached McVey be-
cause he had heard the pastor has I'M
warrantedly used his name.
At the police station it is said that
McDuffie was not to be blamed for
the failure of the officer to get to the
scene promptly, as this is not in his
department. 1t is also claimed that
there was no officer available to be
sent when McVey first telephoned,
