On the subject of the increase of
postal rates by the war-revenue act
the report says. in part:
s.The language of the act clearly in
dicates that the increased rates on
first-class mail and the tax on parcel
post were imposed as war tax. and,
therefore. only temporary, while the
rates on second-class were to partially
reimburse the department for the enor-
nous loss 1t suffers In the handling Of
this class Of mail, and is permanent
legislation. The department does not
favor tho use of the postal system as
a means Of raising revenue except to
meet the cost of the service. and so in
formed the committees Of Congress.
"The rates which apply to reading
matter are lower than any ever recon-
mended by any investigating commit
tee, and the final rates for advertising
when a part Of the periodical are on
the advertiser would be required to nav
II such advertising were sent as third
class mail. Even when the maximum
rates provided in the law are reached
the rate on reading matter will be 5A
cents less than the average cost to the
department for the transportation and
handling. and heavy loss will still be
incurred.
Some publishers claim that thew
cannot pay q higher rate of postage.
II must be conceded that the plea that

Organizations Criticised.

Efforts OF these organizations along
other lines have been severely criti-
cized by men in public life. as they at
tempt to control political as well as
Legislative matters and openly boast of
the influence they claim to exert in the
furtherance Of selfish interests.
AN outside organization has during
the past several years attempted to
unionize government employees, includ-
ing those in the postal service ana 2
large number of postal employees are
now affiliated with 1t: others soon wI4
be. Notwithstanding the fact that such
afiliation is believed to be contrary to
the act of August "a. 1912. The advisa-
bility of permitting government en-
ployes to affiliate with an outside Or
ganization and use the strike and boy
colt as last resort to enforce its de
mands is seriously questioned by those
interested in the public welfare.
Postal employees have become bold
because of this aftiliation and have
within recent years threatened to
strike. and in one case actually did so
by rendering their designations and
abandoning the service in Il body. IN
this case they Were promptly indicted
and prosecuted in the federal courts.
While strikes in the postal service may
be averted for the time being. yet they
will inevitably come, and the public
will then be brought face to face with
a most serious situation-one which
VIII be a menace to our government.

Local and Personal Mention
NEUROLOGICAL.

NEIEOLOOtIAL-
One of the saddest aeciden's that has
ever happened in Polk county was tina! in
which Mrs. Mary C'Nca!, Of 0coee, was
struck by passenger train, last Saturday
afternoon about 2:30, and almost instantly
killed
Deceased, in company of one Of her lit
tie granddaughter, had been down IN the
orchard gathering apples and had started
home. She had on a sunbonnet which
must have prevented her from. seeing or
hearing the train or noticing the frantic Ell
forts of a daughter, who saw heI danger,
to warn her. The granddaughter did not
see the train hit her, but a shower OF APP
pies caused the daughter to fear that the
worst had happened.
The body was found about 10 feet from
where it was struck One of the tram
men, we understand, stated that she had
one foot on the track when he first saw her
and too late to prevent the accident.
The funeral was held at Ocoee, Monday,
and was conducted by Revs. Rymer and
Lillard and was very largely attended.
One pathetic, and nearly fatal, incident
occurred while preparations for the fune-
raj were being made A pair of white
gloves, which were part OF the shroud'
proved trihe too small. By Sitting them
slightly in the palms they could have been
used: hut to this, Clifford, one of the sons,
strongly protested, and, in company with
his sister, Mrs. Charles Parks, started for
Cleveland to get larger pair. On the
way, their car turned over, badly bruising
Mrs. Parks. though not seriously .
Mrs O'Neal was O. years of age and
one of the best known women in that sec
ton of Polk and Bradley counties. A
devout and consistent member OF the Bap-
fist church since early childhood, she had
led cose Grated life that was JOY to those.
with whom she came IN contact and COM
fort to her in trials tina. confronted her In
life. That such an one should have
numberless friends was attested by those
who came to mingle tears with mourning
ones whose loss had left them stricken and
numb
To mourn her loss, husband and the
following children are left:
Mrs Lou Campbell, Ducktown; J. T.
O'Neal and Mrs. Betty Rose, Cleveland
Mesdames Della Mason and May Frazier,
Ocoee; ]. S. O'Neal, Cleveland; Mrs. Leila
Rose and Ernest M. O'Neal, Chattanooga;
Mrs. Lora Parks, Memphis; Miss Ada
O'Neal, Ocoee; c. B, O'Neal, Chattanooga;
Mrs. Eula Hineman, Ocoee.

In memory of Joseph D. Vaughn, of Re-
lance, Tenn, who was born in l045 and
departed this life in 1917, aged II years
He was united in marriage to Miss ANIME
Reed to which union seven children were
born. OF these two are dead-Elsle and
Charles. Thomas and Alley are Proml-
nent farmers and stockmen; Fletcher is a
prominent merchant at Athens; Mrs. Alice
Webb lives with her mother at Reliance;
Mrs. Jennie Barber lives at Riceville.
For more than thirty-hve years Mr.
Vaughn had been identified with the social
and business interests of Polk county and
welded an influence for good that made
il the better for his having lived in IT.
He was kind father, an affectionate
husband md great is the mourning in this
family because he is not.

SEES LOST HUoun.s1
: IN NEWSPAPER PHOTO.
Brings Ray Of Hope to Mrs. Lucy zad-
Ter, Polish Refugee.

Albany.-There was ray of hope in
this Yuletide for Mrs. Lucy A. Fad
Ter, comely Polish woman Of thirty,
that she may find her husband in some
Of the armies or prison camps in Eu-
rope. He was taken from her more
than two years ago, and she hauheard
no tidings of him since. The ray of
hope was brought about by the illus
trated supplement of Sunday news
paper. Mrs. Zadler's employer, know
ing her hatred Of the Germans and
Austrians, tossed the supplement- to
her with the remark, "There are some
Austrians' for YOU AS her eyes fell
nearly collapsed. Then she pointed to
a picture of some soldiers and ex-
claimed: chats him! That's Joseph,
my husband!'
Her journey to this country from her
home in Lublic, Poland, she says, is
like dream and is still hazy in her
mind When the war broke out her
husband, who had saved little money,
decided to come to America and live in
peace. He purchased railroad tickets
to Rotterdam and steamer tickets to
New York. They had proceeded on
their way for some distance when at
a railroad station, Mrs. Zad4er says,
some soldiers took her husband in GUS
tody, telling her to proceed on her jour-
,ney and that he would meet her at the
ship. Where the station was or it's
name she has not the slightest idea.
Neither could she say what was the
nationality of the soldiers who kidnap-
ed her husband

THE "POILU"

"Poilu," as applied to the rank and
file Of the soldiers of France, is a
word which, in it's present application
many people are unable to under
stand, since it's definition, literally
translated into English, is hairy
While it is true that the French SOL
der is more given to facial adorn-
ment of the hirsute variety than is
his comrade in arms, Mr.. Thomas At
kins, there seems \little reason why
the French soldier should be distin-
guished from the civilian by the APP
pellation hairy The term was for
merly applied only to the army re-
cruits who were serving their Sec
ond or third years in the uniform.
In times of peace the French in
fantryman serves a stage of three
years. During their first year they
are known to their older comrades as
"les bleux," meaning ''the blue ones'
which, in an approximate English
translation, means ''greenhorn." Aft
er that the soldier is known as s1e
poilu," on the superstition that he
has more hair on his face than the
"bleuX." Since the war the word
"poilu" has been applied to all COM
mon soldiers, irrespective of length
of service, and it has almost super
ceded "pioupiou," which means 'foot
soldier" or infantryman. The name
Tommy Atkins given to the pri-
Yates of the British army, is said to
have originated in the custom Of
making out blanks for military ac-
counts with the name, 81 Tommy At
kins,'' etc. 1t remained for Kipling
to immortaliZe Tommy Atkins" in
verse, and give the name a general
vogue.

wage price is based on the amount OF
work an operative can do In a day
and the hundreds of different wage
prices are based On the number OF
particular pieces or parts Of the gar
ment that can be sewed in a day.
The great strike preceding the recent
one drove some of the biggest manu-
facturers out of business and resulted
in establishing all over the Jewish dis
tricts, but particularly in Brownsville
and Williamsburg, small shops employ
ing from three to twenty-five sewing
machine operators They cut into the
trade of the big manufacturers, and
one of the objects of the recent lock
out and strike, so far as the members
of the Manufacturers Protective asso-
citation is concerned, was to drive these
outsiders OAt of the trade and restore
the $10O,O0O,O0O a year industry to its
former centralized condition.
