HURRY UP CRY DELIVERY

Baxter Springs looks forward with
no small degree Of longing to the
,oming of city postal delivery. With
he force allowed, the room, and the
facilities for handling q mail that
has quadrupled during the past
.hree years, it must be said that our
postmaster and his force render en-
.eptionally good service to the pubic
The general delivery grows over
hight and the line of waiting very Of
zen reaches from the window almost
70 the sidewalk and Baxter Springs
IS a busy town and don't like to wait
IN anything. With line before the
general delivery window pressed TO-
rether as the proverbial sardine'
there is another line before the stamp
window. To the regular, stamp, re-
ristrv and mail order business has
been added the War Savings Stamp
and the Baby Bond. There is always
a disposition on the part Of persons
buying W. S. S. to tell the postal clerk
how novel; the scheme is and how
good it is, ETC., all Of which the post
al clerk knows by heart, and in the
meantime the party at the rear end
of the line is alternately raised TO
delight and plunged to dispair as the
party at the window turns to go and
then turns back for trite and near
forgotten remark. The Baxter Springs
Dostal force come as near being ma
chimes when it comes to speed ana
accuracy as it seems possible to be.
Running through a hundred letters
TO see whether you have an unsealed
envelope from Sears and Sawbuck, or
n terse reminder that your grocery
bill is overdue, is much easier than
running through great stacks of Cap
per's Weekly to see if your yellow
Jacket has lodged mishap and ar
rived here on time. If either Of these
articles of mail are missing oil
course it is your duty then and there
to tell the clerk what you think OF the
postal system and enlarge on the war
subject as far as he or she will per-
nit, and thus earn for yourself the
earnest and sincere hatred of the
waiting dozen behind you.
We don't know how fast that nee
essary sidewalk is going in but for all
of us we hope it is going in a mile-a-

Pathetic Story Of the Coming Of the
Hun-Men Robbed, Women
Ravished In Polish City

Denver, Colo, April 1S-Three
years ago Scholim Wyskowski was
one Of the wealthiest merchants in
the Russo Polish city Of Graievo. To-
day he is a day laborer at a wage Of
S18 a week in the Globville smelter Of
Denver. Wyskowski terms his lot q
rise IN the world rather than falE'
His story is the tale of "The Coming
Of the Hun" Here it is:
"Our home was just three miles
from Prussia. There was the wife,
.hree children and myself. My stock
Of merchandise was appraised at two
hundred thousand rubles. ! had 1OO,-
900 more in the bank. Then came the
Germans. Two weeks later ! had nc
store; there was no bank. We wer
lriven to Wilma, capital Of Lithuania
The German looters followed.
"The population of wilma shrank
from 25O,OOO to 100000. Those who
lied before the Teuton armed moi
could take nothing from their homes
These homes were looted. The womer
eft behind without the protection Of
their men were ravished. Men who
.emained were made slaves. The first
week of the occupation Of Vilno
very householder was ordered, undo'
,enalty of death, to turn over to the
ierman officers one good wooler
blanket if his rent was less than SOI
ubles a year; two blankets if hi
entail was more than that.
"A week passed. The Huns com
nnadeered one bedstead with bedding
md complete change of linen from
Zach home.
"At the beginning Of the secon'
week of the German rule the com
nandeering orders became so heavy
hat virtually every home inVilna was
tripped. My family slept on pll'
If straw in q damp cellar. Soldiers
md officers occupied every house
We were rationed on few ounces o.
,read a day. That was all-no meat
10 sugar, no change Of diet. Inc
Huns lived on the fat Of the land.
Before the outset of the fifth week
If Prussian ruthlessness the Huns
started stripping houses Of every
piece of metal that could be found.
This, with the other loot, was shipped
~ trainloads to Prussia.
"Then the bread ration was cut
md the people began to die OF star,
vation. Drunken German officers ano
soldiers continued to feast amidst the
starving. There was nothing more
20 loot.
"With several starving families We
we're permitted to escape We were
allowed to go because our girls were
200 young to be of use to the officers;
our boys too young to become slaves
"The lucky ones reached America
The others died. How some OF them
lied-especially the wives-is an
other story"
