INFAMILY IS FATAL

fitted to enter upon the work of life
is friction in the family. Young people
are by nature loyal to their parents
and it is almost never that a young
person will give as a reason for his
leaving home the fact that his father
and mother quarreled or nag at each
other or do not agree upon certain
points.
Friction in the home creates an In
tangible, impalpable atmosphere In
which the sensitive child chokes and
pants for the free air of happiness,
or is warped and stunted mentally and
morally.

coast routes will be established be-
tween San Francisco and Sacramento,
CAL, via Stockton and Fruitdale, dis
lance of 1875 miles, and between Red
lands and Los Angeles, CAL, via On
tario and Pomona, CAL, distance OF
rs miles.
1t is the belief of the post office de-
partment that the operation of these
routes, and others to be established,
will materially aid in the distribution
and in lowering the cost of food prod
uctS.
The existing law does not provide
for the employment of government
owned motortrucks or rural delivery
= routes, MOI does it require the rural
carriers to use motorvehicles.
In the star route service however,
where the mail is carried under con.
tract q recent law permits the post
office department to designate the sort
of vehicles to be employed, and in
awarding new contracts the depart
ment will specify that mOtortrucks
shah be employed on all routes where
the roads are such as to admit of their
use. These contracts are advertised
for bidders, and where payment asked
for the service is deemed to be Excess
sive the department is authorized to
provide government-owned motor
trucks and to employ drivers for the
operation of these routes.
A further extension of the employ
ment of aforementioned motorve-
hicles by it's adoption for the parcel
post service of the rural routes, will
be made whenever congress enacts
law now pending for that purpose.
Operating under the law as 1t now
stands as applied to the star route
service, motortruck routes, some I'M
der contract and some operated with
aforementioned motortrucks, are in
process of establishment as follows:
New York city to Port Jervis, N. z,
via Belleville, Montclair and Dover, N.
J., a distance each way Of SO rules
New York city to Hammonton, N. z,
via Mount Olive, Bordentown, Trenton.

sand why shouldn't you be nice to
the precious ones?" asked Mrs. Buffalo
Indignantly.
"NIany animal daddies aren't" said
Mr. Buffalo, "and so it shows our fine

Buffalo. "Have you anything else to

"Right and fine mean the same, my

"Well, l never pretended to know

Buffalo.
"One more thing" said Mr.. Buffalo,

But Just at that moment a strange
animal came along and all the buffaloes
went together for defense and safety.
"we1l play in a storm or lie in the

danger was past, "and we're a strong,

Supplementing his recent announce
ment in Washington that United
States troops exceeding 100000 in
number" have disembarked on French
soil, the secretary told the cadets 1t
is not unfair to speculate that we VIII
shortly pass the million mark
Secretary Baker, who awarded the
diplomas to the graduates, told them
they we're destined to have a part In
leading the armies OF the nation to a
victorious peace. After that he
said, "as officers of the regular army,
you will, prepare, not for war, but be
ready for another war If anybody
wants to make it."
Paris. June 12.-Further gains have
been made by the French tro os in
the fighting in the region between
Montdidier and Noyon, where. in addi-
tion to the capture of territory near
Belloy and ST. Maur. the center of the
line, 400 additional Germans have
been made prisoner and some guns
and machine guns have been taken.
Numerous German counter attacks
have been repulsed, but the enemy
succeeded at one point in cross
ing the Matz river On the eastern
side OF the Oise river the French have
carried out a strategic retirement
along the line of Belloy, Tracy-le-VA
and Nampcel, unobserved by the
enemy.
Further south, north of the Marne.
In the region Of Chateau Thierry, the
French have recaptured the village OF

avail. Attempts by the enemy to re-
capture the village OF Bouresches went
for naught

He is recuperating from an attack Of
sclerotitis which affected his left eye
and which has caused him much
pain and suffering. For two weeks
he was in the hospital in Winchester,

able to do any work. The doctor
thinks that perhaps in another month
or two he will be so much improved
that he can take UP his pastoral du-
ties.
