PLANS FOR
POSTOFFICE
RECEIVED
Many Federal Offices
Will be Housed in
Big Structure
BATH FOR CARRIERS
Showers and Rest Room
Are Provided for
Employees

The new postoffice will front on
G street. The main building will
be rs feet by 7S feet, of which the
front portion rs by AZ feet will be
two stories. These and other interest
ing details of Aberdeen's new Federal
structure are to be cleaned from the
plans and specifications for the build
ing, received here this week.
In addition to the office of the
Postmaster which is on the ground
floor, there has been provided a
Civil Service Examination room To-
'ated in the basement, and three
uites of offices on the second floor,
of two rooms each.
There is to be a basement under
the entire building providing every
convenience. The furnaces will be
, equipped to use gas as fuel, if neces-
7sity arises. Hot and cold water in
all parts of the building and shower
baths for the carriers. A swing room
36 by Is feet is for the use of carriers
when they wish to remain at the
office between trips. This is located
IN the second floor but is separated
'om the Federal offices.
The lobby of the postoffice is in the
form of an inverted letter T. AS one
enters the Money Order and Registry
room is at the extreme right, to the
left and toward the center are win
dows for stamps, enquiry, general de-

livery and drops for letters and par
cells.
To the left of the entrance is first
an open stair way to the Federal Off
ces above, and then the Postmaster's
office, the remainder of the space to
the center of the lobby being taken
up with lock box sections The. floor
of the lobby will be of Terrazzo and
where cak is used in the finishing
i. e. in the lobby and Postmaster's
room 1t is to be selected quarter
sawed white oak. The oak is to be
fumed to the exact shade specified
and afterward given a waxed finish.
The workroom is sufficiently large
at least for present needs being 36x
60 feet, or the whole of the one story
portion of the building and further in
creased by space to work the win
dows and boxes and the money order
and register room. The floor of work
room is to be of fir. Two large vaults
on the first floor will provide safety
for Uncle Sans valuables
The new building will not lack that
essential to all modern equipped post
offices, a "look out" This is pass
age way which so winds about the
building that an inspector can watch
any employee at work from almost
any angle. This part of the building
is so inconspicous that it would not
be noticed by the average sight-seer.
The flagstaff, nearly sixty feet high,
will make it possible to float Old
Glory 100 feet in the air.
This new structure will add consid-
cradle to Aberdeen's collection of
public buildings. Its red brick ex-
terror will be trimmed with granite
and sand stone and together with it's
parkings on either side, and paved
alley and approaches, which will be
neatly kept, can be pointed out with
pride as Aberdeen's share in the ma
tional government.

Council Listens
to Protest Against
Local Billboards

Billboards came in for brief but
spirited discussion, at Wednesday
nights city council session. Protest,
signed by John Johnson and 4S other
residents near Wishkah and Wash
ington streets Intersection, was made
against a board erected at that cor
ner by the Doyle Advertising agency.
Unsightliness was alleged as good
reason for objection against the board
and Councilman Milette supported the
objection, urging that the council, if
it could find no other way out, should
by ordinance remove all billboards
from the city.
The council session lasted but half
hour and nothing but routine business
was considered. The projected i'm
provement of West Boulevard in South
Aberdeen was temporarily dropped,
owing to excessive cost compared with
value of property affected. Joe Gra-
ham protesting at the improvement
of Simpson avenue from Division to
the city limits for the same reason,
that work was dropped permanently.
Payment of two old warrants, for
$40 and SAL, on the Terrace Heights
improvement district was requested
by E. H. Jackson, former merchant
here, who said he cashed the war
rants in 1891. The rolls of the district,
it appears, have been lost. Matter
was referred to the city attorney.
The Grays Harbor Post was award
ed the city printing.
Payment was ordered made the con-
tractor on the South Aberdeen drain
age district, SIS being withheld until
final completion of the work.

TWELVE YEARS
 OF FAILING HEALTH
Brought to Happy End. Says the Peo pie in Three Counties Know What
 Cardui Did For Her..

Weaverville, N. C.,-Mrs. Abbagail Hampton, of this place, says that about 12 years ago she began to take Cardui after having been in failing health for 12 years, during which time she had to take to her bed four days out of each month, and suffered agony; that the doctors told her she must have female trouble and gave her medicine which did her no good and finally insisted on her going to the hospital for treatment.
 She goes on to say: "l am a large woman, and my ordinary weight, 160 pounds, went down to 1855. got so bad just dragged around and could scarcely sit up. My neighbors all thought I was going to die and would say I couldn't live long. My little daughter thought the same.-...-
 My husband and friends urged me to try Cardui, and he brought me some of it. I began feeling better as soon as l began taking it, and l steadily improved until l was well and strong. I make my garden, do my housework and have cooked for 20 boarders at one time. Am a strong, healthy wom- an, permanently cured by Cardui. My husband and I cant say enorVh for Cardui... The people in three coun- ties know what this medicine has done for me, for neither nor my husband ever cease praising it"
 Cardui is for sale at all druggists with full directions for use. Try it

Old Dobbin is doomed. The charges against him are that he has 70 eat and sleep, and, after working all day, stands in his stall instead of pumping the water or running the cream separator.
 The thing that is putting Old Dob bin out of business is the farm tractor. Twenty thousand tractors were used on American farms last year. Washington agricultural off cials predict that soon practically all farm work will be done by the busy little machine that never grows tired . The farm tractor does the work of the horse-many horses-and does it better at about half: the cost. It plants, blows, hauls or does road grading, It runs the, saw mill, cuts snsilage and fills the: silo. It pulls the binder, works the hay baler pulls stumps, crushes stones and after hard days work in the field pumps the water, or separates the ,ream, or churns the butter.
 The Department of Agriculture nas been making tests of tractors Here are some interesting things il has found out:
 Horses represent more than hall the cost of farming. It takes tht product of five average acres to fur nish one horse with provender for {; year. The six horses on the average 160-acre farm eat up the amour

produced from thirty acres of hay, corn and oats. For the year 1914, the cost of horses per head, on the basis of actual tests, was $13O. A horse works on the average of three hours a day throughout the year, and on this basis would cost about twelve and one-half cents an hour for each working hour.
 Four head of horses, at an actual cost of fifty cents an hour, will turn with the ordinary gang blow, four acres a day. With an eight-foot disk harrow, fifteen acres can be covered With the same four-horse team thirty acres can be narrowed and with an eight-foot binder, fifteen acres can be harvested in ten hours
 Tractor vs. Horse.
 On the other hand, it has beer demonstrated that good light trac tor (the Buckeye Junior. Anderson Indiana), costs, for gasoline ant lubricating oil, an average of $1.65 ; day. Counting up-keep, depreciation etc., this tractor costs $3.75 a day and in that day, at twomile speed blows five and sixteenth acres with <; fourteen-inch "two-bottom gang and, with three bottoms. eight ant fiye-tenths acres. With two-disl harrows and drag in tandem, thi tractor will cover nineteen and three tel.ths acres in ten hours. In day Fthirty-tive acres can be harrowe'
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-06-10

with three sections of peg, or 1T pulling an eight-foot binder twenty acres of wheat can be cut down.
 The tractor, department officials say, does not mean an increased in. vestment for the farmer. It is mere. ly question of selling few horse: to make the substitution. It does more horse-work on a barrel of dis tillate, or gasoline. then six to ten horses will do on an equal eXpendi ture for hay or oats.
 In France, the government gives subsidy to farmers to help them buy tractors-one-third the price of the machine. If the farmer has suffered from the war, he gets one-half the price. American tractors are now iE uso on French farms.
 ct has been shown that the Amer, ican farmer uses more power than is useu in all branches of manufactur ing in the country" said c. B Lauderback, of Anderson, tractor ex pert, who has been comforting witt war department officials on tractor for military use. "Tractors are be coming an absolute necessity fol farmers. The light tractor is tho solution of the farm power question If any farmer doubts that he can dc more work and get greater results and bigger profits, at a less cost with an effective light tractor, vii be .rlad to show him just how he car do it."
