l WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14.-Sec-
 retary McAdoo is using the Treasury
 Department to frank personal docu-
 ments which have no relation to the public business of the Treasury; Sen ator William E. Chiffon, of West Vir- ginia, Chairman of the Senate Com mittee on the Census, is permitting Henry Fry, Clerk of the Committee, under Chilton's frank, to appeal to the postmasters of West Virginia to get votes for Chiffon in the November election; and officials of the Postof- fee Department are travelling around the country addressing meetings of postmasters and rural route carriers urging them to work for the Demo cratic candidates.
 McAdoo has a large force of em- ployees working in the Treasury build ing sending out, under the frank of
 Senator Fletcher of Florida, large numbers of a speech by McAdoo en- titled Some International Aspects of Public Education" delivered by Me Adoo at the annual convention of the National Education Association in New York City July 9th, last. This speech concerns the International Conference held in Buenos Aires and refers othe "Pan-Americanism" up- on which the Wilson administration is continually harping, although Presi- dent Wilson's Mexican and Haitian policies have aroused bitter hostility of the Pan-American nations.
 It is violation of law for a Cabinet officer to use the employees and facil- ities of his department to send thru out the country, under the frank of a United States Senator, one of his own speeches, which is not a public docu- ment

Men Working For Candi' date For Delegate to Congress Make Wish
 eS Known.
Sulzer, Alaska, Oct. 1, 1916.

oulZer, AldSka, OcJ. l, lJlO. To The General Pubiic:-
 At a meeting held in our hall June 9th, 1916, all members being present a motion was made, seconded and un- animously carried to give Senator Charles A. Sulzer, of the Alaska Leg islature, our entire support in his campaign for Delegate to Congress.
 MT. Sulzer has been a resident here for the past fourteen years. Until the last year he was General Monager for the Alaska Industrial Company, but since last year he has operated the mines himself as lessee. During all these fourteen years he has proved himself a true friend of Labor.
 He gave the eight-hour day of his own free will in 1902 upon starting operations in Alaska, and this was long before anyone else had the same rule in Alaska. He has always paid the highest wages in this District, giv- en everybody square deal and treat ed everybody as man. There is not man who ever worked in Senator Sulzers Camp who will not speak of him in the highest terms, and we know from long observation that he has the qualifications to ably repre- sent us in Congress.
 The foregoing are only few of the main facts of MT. Sulzer's charac- ter which have endeared him to the workers. so we wish you to rally to his support and leave no obstacle in the way for his election for Delegate to Congress from Alaska.
 With best wishes to you, we remain,
 Very truly yours,
 THOMAS H. BUTLER, Pres.
 H. R. RAFFELSON, Sec.

once the hens began TO lay they did It with
such unbounded enthusiasm that they put the
market on the toboggan. There was not enough
cold storage plants in existence to hold the
new supply, and as a result the consumer
got more benefit from the annual egg laying
than he was entitled to, and all because the
hen would lay eggs There was no way TO
prevent her-no way to control her.
THAT, as say, was the situation that set
me thinking. How could the hen be persuaded
to limit her output? The ordinary modern
method, that of forming trust and regulating
the business so that the supply never equalled
the demand, was not to be considered The
hen, thought l. knows nothing about big bust

"Then the spring came and with it con-
ditions that were just the reverse. Fresh
eggs came in in such tremendous quantities
that there was no holding the market. Max
ing due allowance for those that went into
storage, there was still enough eggs to supply
every consumer at most reasonable price.
Eggs, in fact, went from dear to cheap-dirt
cheap. The reason for this was easily found.
The hens had begun to lay, and everywhere,
north east, south and west, shippers were
sending their products to the city.
"This was the state Of affairs that

that, while there was considerable money in
eggs when eggs were high, there was precious
little when eggs were low. How to mend mat
