RURAL PARCEL POST

In the opinion of the Postmaster
General every large city and the VII
lages and farming communities about
them should be interested in the pass
age of the bill introduced In the House
by Mr.. Moon, authorizing experiments
by the Postmaster General in the op-
Grafton OF motor truck rg6tes in the
vicinity Of large cities, says an article
In the Power Wagon
In view Of the department the op-
GRAFTON of these motor truck routes,
as contemplated by the bill, would
add 100 per cent to the value Of the
parcel post service In the vicinity Of
the cities where established.
The purpose Of the bill II to try
q plan by which the benefits OF mil
lions Of dollars expended in making
good. roads and in the great develop
ment of motor vehicles may be CO.
ordinated with the parcel post sys-
tenn, 80 as to open up great stretches
of country within easy motor distance
from large cities and to facilitate the
delivery of>food products.
About many Of the large cities,
within a radius Of fifty miles or more,
there are productive districts occu-
pied By farms and villages which are
without direct postal facilities. These
would be reached by the contem-
plated motor truck routes, to the con-
venience and advantage Of both the
Isolated communities and Of the con-
Sumers in the cities.

According to Joe Wells, Of the Fed

enforcement Il being built into Fed
eral tires.
The advantage OF this improvement
Is that Il prevents inside wear against
the rim, thereby enabling the owner
of q car to get longer and better serv-
Ice out OF his tires.
-Four unstretchable cables do the
trick. They anchor the tire SO Sc
curely to the rim that the longest,
hardest use cannot make them shift
their position This keeps the toe of
the bead from tube-pinching, prevents
rim-cutting and blowouts Just above
the rim, and It absolutely insures the
car owner against the danger Of haV-
ing q tire blow on the rim.

At Banquet of the Boosters,
Where the champagne freely flowed,

Just crowed, and crowed and crowed.
Oh, it'wa9 happy meeting
Of the Boosters of the town,
When each exchanged greeting,
And no glasses were turned down.
But that was away back yonder
In the good old halcyon days,
Before the "Bootlegger" had to ponder
To invent such devious ways.
Now the Solons have passed law,
To keep "Licker'' from our state,
And unless in it they find flaw,
John Barley will meet his fate.

The Clubs have all gone to the bad
And our town-it is finished.

SFFERINGS
Chimp AIMEE TO
LEAVE NEXT WEEK

Yesterday a cablegram was receiy-
ed Dy Sally from her owner in Los An
geies. The message stated that the
chimpanzee movie queen was needed
IN the Southern California city not
later than April /. She will leave on
the Wilhelmina Wednesday in order
to reach Los Angeles in time TO work
in a new series of plays that have
been written for her and her consort,
Napoleon.
After completing these films at the
Z. e r. Jungle Film Company's stu
do, both Sally and Napoleon will be
taken to Japan and possibly to China.
Negotiations are now under way to
take the only monkey movie stars to
the Orient for an extended engage
ment. s" .~. -.
Probably no motion pictures made
cost more to produce than the jungle
pictures now being shown at the BIZ
jou theater. For every foot of film
successfully made nearly a dozen feet
are lost. This is due to the fact that
both Sally and Napoleon insist on
doing many things that are not called
for in the plays. Both the chimpan-
ices are exceedingly nervous and con-
slant care must be exercised to keep
them interested while posing before
the movie camera.
Six new comedies will be shown
tonight at the Bijou and for the re-
naming nights Of this week. Charles
Carter, the trainer of the giant apes,
declares that the best features have
been kept for the last. Two extra
reels of travel pictures will be added
to the jungle-land program.
