posToFFlcE AND VOTES.

Congress- is again hungrily eager 10
beautifv rural America with pOstof-
fees and court houses. The OMNIBUS
public building bill to which our rep
resentatives are devoting carefui con
sideration, will spend about $Sb.ooo.ooo
in this fashion il 1t is passed. A $4o'-
900 postoffice will grace the village
green at Hazard, KY, constant re-
minder to its 537 inhabitants that their
congressman has not forgotten them.
Some such similar evidence OF con-
gressional devotion will be found
throughout Florida, which already mas

sits more than six days a. year. Al
most every village over 1000 wnicn
has not been remembered in the past
is to receive gift from Uncle Sam.
The present bill Is pork getting car
ried to It's highest development II IS
/ so well evolved that It Is little TOO
obvious. One postoffice and some
times two for every vote. 1t 10 care
fully worked out to please almost ev-
cry community. II 1t IL passed only
few congressman will return to their
communities empty handed.
To see postoffices regarded as gar
| den seeds, things to be distributed
among constituents by congressman, Is
what so particularly annoys Congress
man Frear. Their erection throughout
the country Is based on the political
necessities of congressman and not on
the commercial necessities Of the Unit
ed States.
Congressman Frear Is conservative
when he asserts that at least one-half
OF the proposed postoffices are unne-
cessary and unjustified and their cree
ton nothing but outrageous waste OF
public money. Treasury department
officials have been asserting that so
per cent OF the items In the bill are
pork.
The attitude Of the treasury depart
ment gives hope that this particular
piece Of scandalous legislation may be
defeated. But defeating It will only
interrupt this system Of footing the
; treasury 1t is so profitable that they
win be at 1t again Immediately. An
answer may be found in the budget

Rumor Says President A. H. Garfield of Williams College Will Be Chos- en To Fill Important Position
 Country Divided Into Districts.
Bituminous coal

Washington. Bituminous coal prices were fixed by President Wilson for every mine in the United States. The next step in coal control. a White House announcement said will be to fix the prices to be charged by middlemen and retailers.
 Prices were set on cost of produc- tion estimates furnished by the fed eral trade commission after months of exhaustive investigation. The coun- try is divided into 29 districts and every producer in district will mar ket his output at the same price.
 The president is expected to ap- point soon coal administrator, who will ,be given entire control of the coal industry. Rumor named Presi- dent H. A. Garfield of Williams Col lege as the man. MT. Garfield now heads a committee appointed by the president to fix a government price for wheat. The wheat committee probably will be dissolved by Septem- Der l.
 The prices announced for run of mine coal in the large producing dis tricts average slightly more man $2. In few districts they are below that figure and in western territory they are higher. Washington state s highest. with S3.25.
 The presidents statement said:
 "The following scales of prices Is prescribed for bitumnous cc3l at the mine in the several coal producing districts It is provisional only. Ii is subject to reconsideration when the whole method of administering the fuel supplies of the country shall have heen satisfactorily organized and put into operation. Subsequent measures will have as their objects fair and equitable control of the distribution of the supply and of the prices not only at the mines. but also in the hands of the middlemen and the retailers.
 The prices provisionally fixed here are fixed by me under the provisions of the recent act of Congress regard ing administering the food supply of the country. which also conferred upon the executive control of the fuel sup ply. They are based upon the actual cost of production and are deemed to be not only fair and just, but liberal as well Under them the industry should nowhere lack stimulation"

 Before Walter had taken hundred watchful paces down the road she had Ward at the other end of the line. What with running and terror, she could hardly speak.
