A Gard to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition to furnish efficient service. Where the
of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sionaly if the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with be
overhauled least year. and that at least
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small, and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.

will appreciate their talking the matter with

Over S6.OOO,OOO Will Be Saved
Annually in the Transport
tation of the Mails.

All departments Of the Gov
eminent are of interest to the
people, and the activities and
idustries of each are matters OF
great and vital concern, for the
welfare of the nation depends
upon the manner in which these
great public enterprises are con-
Quoted and administered.
The Post Office Department,
being in close and constant
touch with all classes, necessari-
ly occupies large share of pub
lie attention, and anything re-
lating to its projects and pur-
poses is always of special inter-
est. The adoption Of measures
calculated to lessen expense and
broaden the field of usefulness
may easily come within that
category.
The principal cost of the post
al service is that Of transporta-
ton. With an annual expendi-
ture exceeding $55, 100000. the
price the government pays for
this service, it may be naturally
assumed that the men who now
manage our postal affairs were
concerned to know if it we're
not possible 70 lesser this cost
without impai,iny tn. e!ficien-
cy of the service. Tn. first uues-
tior which suggest tel itself in
this connection was whether the
weight of equipment could not
be reduced. since the govern
ment pays as much per pound
for the weight of the bag as it
does for the mail within it.
The first step in this needed
reform inaugurated by the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General. was the withdrawal of
all heavy equipment and the
substitution in it's stead of light
er and more suitable material,
disseminating the further man.
ufacture of the equipment then
in use with a very considerable
savineg of both cost and weight.
Many experiments were made
and tried out in actual service
to find the best and most SER
viceable kinds. expense and dur
ability considered, and to the
present postal administration
belongs the credit of having pro-
duced something in this direc-
ton combining not only all the
essential needs Of such equip
ment but lessened in cost and
from 40 to 60 per cent reduced
in weight. 1t is believed that
these improved models of bags
and locks will meet the require
ments for years to come. The
actual introduction of these new
and better styles began in the
Spring of 1914 and the results
may be summarized as follows:
Reduction in weight accom-
plished with
1880 new style catcher pouch
es at 2 lbs. each $4,000 lbs.
10000 new style ordinary
pouches. at three pounds each

Tuesday viii be read with interest

men of Pensacola:
Crowned and encircled by those
colors typical of the attributes of pa
triotism and purity that spuIred loved
ones to charge the lannon's fiery
mouth and the glittering bayrnets for
the principles and honor theV held to
be right and inviolable, the twenty
first annual convention of the Florida
division Of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy was opened on Tues
day night in the Christian church,
which was a symphony Of red and
white executed in flowers, flags and
bunting.
Opening the program Of the even
ing, the Rev. J. E. Corsuch, pastor
of the Christian church, pronounced
an invocation that was exceptionally
appropriate to the occasion. Contin-
uing the program, the audience sang
rousingly america"
Much of the evening was given to
addresses Of welcome by representa-
tives of the city; Mayor ]. G. Brad
shaw appearing for ST. Petersburg,
President Paul r. Boardman for the
board of trade, Adjutant A. c. Wright
for Camp Zollicoffer Of the United
Confederate. Veterans, and President
Mrs. John C. Blocker for the hostess,
Dixie Chapter 1,o08 of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy. Each
of these extended hearty and cor
dial welcome to the convention.
Between the addresses of welcome
and the responses by the state Off
GERS, the audience sang, Florida, My
Florida"
Sister Esther Carlotta, as president
Of the Florida Division, responded in
behalf of the convention. A betting
close to her response was the pre-
sentation, by Mrs. J. C. Hamlet in
behalf of Dixie Chapter, of a magni-
ficent bouquet Of Easter lilies and
carnations TO the state president. This
beautiful feature of the program con-
cluded, the audience sang the division

sacola and vicinity to place special
stress on this event. In addition to
the regular methods of observing this
day, a number of innovations are be-
ing suggested. One of these is the
especial appeal to men everywhere to
attend both the Sunday schools and
church services on this day. Most all
schools viii put forth efforts to have
large attendance of mothers, but
added strength and beauty viii be
given to the occasion if great num-
bers of men will attend, thus lending
honor and dignity to the spirit of the
day.
Not only is this day designed for
mothers, but it is also an occasion
when people everywhere should cele-
brate the greatness of motherhood,
and no better way can be found to
give credit to our mothers than for
our men to join heartily in the exer-
cises Of this day. Therefore the
strong appeal to men.
Another special feature which is
not only new but in keeping with the
thought Of the day is the suggestion
that all persons who find themselves
separated from their mothers make
an effort to send them a message Of
cheer, appreciation and love, so that
this message will reach the mothers
on or before the day set apart as

vention to the audience, and made the
announcements.
With ''Dixie" by the audience, the
program for the evening was con-
cluded. Upon the first score of the
great southern song, the audience
broke into tumultuous applause which
stopped only as the pianist finished
the prelude.
Decorations of the convention hall
were especially worthy of mention
and praise. Everywhere the red
white and blue were in evidence in
both the Confederate and the United
States flags and buntings. The red

of the Confederacy was executed eff
fectively in flowers, mostly Easter

the character whose part she played.
The costumes were especially ap-
propriate and attractive, and this
added much to the beauty and pic
turesqueness of the scene.
No play by our college talent has
ever been so decidedly a dramatic
triumph throughout. 1t was under the
direction of Dubois Elder, director of
the School of Expression of the Flor
ida State College for Women, ably
assisted by Theo Roberts, also con-
nected with the School of Expression.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon Miss Henrietta Spragins Mas
tin, teacher of voice in the college,
asd Miss Isabella Rausch, teacher of
violin, for the beautiful and appro-
pirate music rendered at both the aft
ernoon and evening performances,
Miss Mastin having directed the work
of the Glee Club and Miss Rausch
that of the ensemble class during the
year. The untiring efforts of those
in charge made this Spring Festival

and play ever held at the Florida

Gated, but easy of access both by
railway and boat, being at the head
of navigation on the st. Johns river,
n the north side Of Lake Monroe,

Ideally located, it possesses many
advantages, not least of which are the
famous Benson Springs, whose medi-
cinal water has been in demand for
many years. The hotel fronts the
lake with spacious grounds for out
door sports and swimming facilities
near.
A small steamer makes several
daily trips to Sanford and can be
chartered at any time for delightful
side trips.
The mornings win be open to help
full class work, the afternoons being
left free for recreation and rest. The
