The first planning of the Postmas-

towards economies. Solicitor Lamar

ctal experts looking over statements
OF telephone companies:
There will be no radical readjust-

of the committee. I'VE look at our
selves as trustees for the owners, and
Will make no radical departures until
We find out thoroughly just where
the companies are. not only geographi-
cally. but also financially and in an
operating way"
But there will be a demand from
radicals all over the country that the
government try out the more import
ant of the many hundred inventions
controlled by the big telephone and
telegraph companies, which might
speed their service or reduce its cost
but which have been discahred because
their installation would make Of their
equipment. valued at many millions
Of dollars, a heap Of junk.

WAR AND SHOW BUSINESS
Makes Poor Circus Mans Life One
Continual Round of Just What
Sherman Said il Was.

Our people never quite realized how
extremely scarce labor is getting to
be in this country until Gentry Bros.
show landed here last Friday and they
saw them trying to haul the big tents
and paraphanalia from the railroad to
the grounds with two teams and about
half dozen men to handle it all. II
was slow and painful process and
will be worse at the next stop as sew
eral quit here and said it was that
way ut every town where they stop
ped.
Most of our labor is in the essential
class and we have not been disturbed
to the extent some sections have. The
crew attempting to handle the Gentry
show barely get the tents up in time
for the parade and then they have to
assist in the parade, and by that time
they have to begin tearing down the
tents to get them back on the track
by train time. Some joyous life, be-
lieve me, boy!
What there was of the circus was
good. The animals were well train
ed and did their part nobly in taking
the places of the men and women who
have mostly filled out the program
in the past. The place of the numer-
GUS army of clowns that generally de-
corate a circus, was taken by two
ancient wrecks that were tottering toe
near the brink of the grave to get any
joy or hilarity out of living. and their
quiet and sedate occasional appear
ance drew no breathless amazement
from the kidlets. Even the peanut and
popcorn butchers seemed to have oozed
away their accustomed pep even in
proportion as the size of their sacks
had dwindled-and that is some dwin-
dlc-almost reaches the vanishing
point. II is evident that until the war
is over the circus will have to follow
that other national game. baseball,
and go into retirement.
