Extend the Mail Tubes

If Postmaster General Burleson, who
wishes to abolish the pneumatic tube ser
vice. were to consult with some of the
business men of The Bronx he might gain
a new idea about the desirability of the
tubes and the practicability of substitute
ing automobile trucks for them. For a
year the Bronx BOARD of Trade has been
greatly interested, not in having the tubes
discontinued, but in obtaining an exten-
sion of the service which a part of this
city now enjoys. That desire has been
vastly increased by the experience Of The
Bronx during the recent snowstorm.
This tube service exists in Manhattan
snly south Of 125th Street. In The Bronx
arc forty-four square miles Of territory,
with a business centre or "hub" at 149th
Street and Third Avenue. The Bronx bust
ness men are working to have the tubes
extended to this "hub," saying they would
be able to have excellent mail service if
truck deliveries were relied on only to
distribute the mail from there. AS condi-
tions are, they insist the service is made
ouatc. A large part Of their mail bust
ness is transacted with Manhattan. They
have experienced great delay in the trans
initial Of letters to downtown New York,
owing to the traffic congestion in the
streets and the not infrequent breaking
down of the mail trucks. This handicap
would be removed if tubes existed to
handle the letter-mail between Manhattan
and the Bronx "hub."
Of course this demand merely empha-
sizes certain points which Mr.. Burleson
seems persistently to disregard in his in
sistence on the giving up Of the tubes,
with the automobile trucks as the only
thing to fall back on. New York City,
with its great area and huge population,
is like no other community IN the country.
Manhattan is the focal point of business !;
railroads and steamship lines have their
termni here; this borough is the point of
origin or destination of tremendous guam
titles of mall besides being a clearing
house for other tremendous quantities ad-
dressed to other cities or other countries
The streets of Manhattan are crowded
with vehicles as are the streets of no
other city in the world, with the possible
exception of London. The very conges-
tion of traffic has slowed up the traffic
pace so that business trucking is now a
heavy expense. To all this Mr.. Burlesor
bithely proposes to add mail trucks--how
many would be necessary under existing
conditions the postoffice people don't seem
to have definitely in mind. But whether
more or fewer, congestion would become
worse congested; traffic for streets don't
increase in capacity become slowe,
and infinitely more dangerous; the deliv
cries and collections of first class mai
would inevitably be fewer. The industries
of New York and the country at large
would suffer
Far the better way would be to provide
for the extension of the mail tubes re
quested by The Bronx, rather than any
curtailment of the present service

TRAIN WRECKS AUTOMOBILE
Passenger Train No. 80, East
Bound, CrasheseInto Ford Car
and Kills Lady of 43.
Accident Occurred on the Jauret
Crossing, Tuesday Evening,
Two Miles East of Ossian.

Passenger train No. SO, east
bound, due here at 4:10 p. M,
crashed into a Ford automobile on
the John Jauret crossing, 2R miles
east of Ossian, Tuesday afternoon,
resulting in the death of Mrs
Rhetta Thompson of Shiocton, Wis
Mrs. Thompson AID her daughter,
Pearl had been visiting at the
Geo. DaLOng home, relatives, at
Rudd, and were homeward bound,
Mr.. DeLong driving tie car. The
road from the John V. DeCou farm
to the Jauret farm runs parallel
with the railroad track, and the
crossing at which the accident oc-
Cured is an open one, making it
possible to see a train from Ell her
direction for at least a half mile
Just how an accident of this kind
could take place at this crossing
is a mystery.
The front wheels Of the Ford
were Just over the rail when the
engine crashed into it,, badly
dana ging the front end of the car
Mrs. Jauret who witnessed the ac-
cident, states that the car turned
over twice MIR. belong and Miss
Thompson occupied the front seat
and Mrs. Thompson the back seat.
The occupants of the front seat es-
capped with slight injuries, but
Mrs Thompson was thrown or
dragged over the cattle guard, n
distance Of twenty or thirty feet,
her body lying in the grass north
of the track, her head badly crush
ed, it is said.
The train was brought to a stop
and the injured people were taken
to the Postville hospital. Mrs.
Thompson died on the train be-
tween Castalia and Postville. Her
body was prepared for burial and
shipped on No. the same even
ing to Shiocton, accompanied by
! her daughter and Mr.. belong.
Mrs. Thompson was 43 years old.
The wrecked car was taken to
the Harvey garage at Castalia where
it will be repaired. -Ossian Bee.

Has Fifty Stands of Bees

McGregor, Ia, July why
spend tina worrying about that
one pound of white and one pound
of brown sugar, when you can get
busy and raise all the sweetness
you want and more too in your
front yard? That is what Robert
Liebner of McGregor is doing with
his front yard.
He has small truck and dairy
farm and a beautiful, well kept
lawn, with roses, lilacs, syringas,
plum, cherry and apple trees all "a
round in 1t. In among the shrubs
and trees he has fifty stands of
bees. A high hedge is between the
front yard and the road. This per-
mits the bees from annoying peo-
pie driving by and permits him to
have the stands in the part Of the
yard close to the roadside.
Nearby is his clover field WHICH
while growing fodder for his Guern-
sey COWS is at the same time pro-
viding nectar for the bees. One
year he sold $500 worth of honey.
1t is just so much added income,
takes up no land and the bees feed
themselves.

NINETY POUNDS OF FLIES
Caught in Traps by Cedar Rapids
Men.

4
I The campaign carried on Turing
the last six weeks by the Grune-
valid brothers, in whieh it was plan.
med to reduce the fly output in Ce-
dar Rapids to an appreciable ex-
tent closed today with results which
are somewhat staggering. 1t is
planned to exhibit the catch" in
Third avenue and Third street this
evening, at which time visible eYi-
dence may be obtained as to the re-
suit of the campaign carried on by
the two men with twenty fly trars.
In order to get the approximate
number OF flies caught during the
campaign, an ounce measure viii
hold 1886 flies. The Grunewalds
caught total of ninety pounds of
flies, or approximately three mil
lion insects. On the basis of one
fly producing 5000 progeny during
season, under ordinary conditions
there will be five hundred thousand
pounds less flies in Cedar Rapids
on September 1 as result of the
work carried on by the two men.
BY close study and experimenting,
scientists have learned that in the
Iowa altitude each fly which APP
pears in the early spring produces
ten generations of flies. Each fe-
male fly lays approximately 600
eggs or larve, and if all lived and
reached maturity every fly would
produce millions - each season.
Weather conditions, birds, etc., &C
count for the death of millions each
season, and it is known that under
normal conditions five hundred
thousand is the average progeny of
each fly in one year. 1t is safe to
say, therefore that the fly family
was reduced by fully five hundred
thousand pounds of flies. At the
rate of 1886 flies to the ounce, the
number can be : arrived at if you
have a leaning toward mathematics
The Gunewalds carried on the
campaign at their own expense
which included the purchase OF
building of the traps and the pur-
chase of approximately $50 pounds
of fresh liver as bait. 1t is said
that the collection includes eleven
different varieties of fiies.-Cedar

Plums Years Old Good as Ever.

Mrs. L. G. Findley and daughter,
Miss Carrie, called at the Waverly
Republican Saturday. While discus
sing various subjects, the topic Of
canned fruit came up and Mrs. Find
ley told us that when they lived IN
the farm they always had an album
dance of fruit, and each year they
canned a considerable quantity.
The result was that this canned
fruit exceeded the consumption and
they had a goodly quantity to bring
to town with them when they moved
in. Last week they felt they want
ed some canned fruit Of some kind
and they brought forth can of
plums from their supply. Upon
looking at the date on the can they
discovered that the fruit had been
canned twenty-one years ago. When
opened it was found to be as pala-
table as when first canned, and they
didn't have to swear that they were
going to use sugar with which they
were sweetened for canning pur-
poses, as they would have to do
ii they were TO can plums now days.
Their experience with canned goods
has been such that they still be-
lieve it pays for the average family
