Says in Annual Report.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-Telephone
and telegraph lines of the country,
now under government control, should
become fove.nment-owned at the con-
clusion OF peace and the expiration OF
the provisions Of the act under which
the utilities are now controlled, Post
master General Burleson declares in
his annual report, made public today.
The war has shown that government
ownership OF telephones and tele-
graphs us not only sound. but prac-
ticable," the Postmaster General says,
In repeating the recommendation
which he had made in previous re-
ports, but which he makes for the first
time as head of the government agen-
cy controlling the land communities

THE experience, as result OF the
present war, fully have demonstrated
that the principle Of government own
ership of the telephones and tele-
graphs is not only sound. but practi-
CAL Mr.. Burleson says.
Profit Not Considered.
1T has been necessary as war
measure for congress to consider leg
lslation authorizing the President to
assume control Of the telegraph and
telephone systems OF the country
While such control Is temporary, and
will exist only until the ratification of
the treaty of peace, yet the best re-
suits can be obtained only when these
systems are owned by the government,
made part of the postal establish
ment and operated solely with view
to serving the public and not making
profits or guaranteeing returns on the
investment.
Government ownership Of the tele-
graphs and telephones should not
longer be delayed, and the action Of
congress in this matter Is urgently
recommended"
Operations of the Postoffice Depart
ment for the fiscal year ending last
June 80 resulted in surplus of re-
ceipts over expenses Of $19979, 798,
according to the report.
Approximately S44, 100000 additional
was paid over to the Treasury from
the increased postal charges imposed
for war revenue. Total revenues Of
the department from all sources dur
ing the year are given as 1898, 975, 1862,
against $329,726115 for the 1917 fiscal
year.
Total expenditures are reported at
s324,S33,728, against $319,S3S,71S in
1917. Disregarding the increased
postal rates effective November 2, un-
der the war tax bill, the actual in
crease in postal service business dur
ing this year is placed at 4.47 per cent.
while expenditures increased 1.56 per

rheumatism is a dangerous disease,

Manager M. A. Ryan, of the local

develop new class Of Geographic

SIMPLE WAY TO
REMOVE DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is
all you will need, apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three OF
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft. and look and
feel hundred times better.-Adv,
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-12-06

sage rate is 20 cents, and for 25 cents
ten word overnight messages can be
sent considerable distance, while the
maximum rate is so cents as against
a maximum of 81 heretofore charged.
The new rates should not only prove
a boon to the business interests of
this city but lead to the same large
use Of the telegraph in social CORES
pondence that prevails in European
countries.

Doctor Van Horn stated that every

serted that the total loss due to dis

said tuberculosis and infantile paraly-

The average loss for every death

Doctor Won kuehlmann stated this re-

act in opposition to the movement for
peace. The German government be-

peace ne gotiations might be hindered
by an unofficial conference held
simultaneously with the official neSo-
