40 scarfs melted away like finkes Of

There sure is a bunch of candidates out for office this fall," says Doc the Duck, land from the indications there is going to be a great many more be- fore the time comes for the call of the gong.
 Its not a bad idea at that. says the Duckling, because when there are lots to choose from it may help the voter to catch one that he would want to see get the office and at any rate he has the pleasure of choosing from a number of more than one.
 "Americanism," says Doc, "seems to be more at stake this fall than any politics and I would be led to believe that any tendency to 'slackerism' would be the death of candidate and as a result of this stand of the voter s would be led to predict that should we see any of the candidates in a po- sition where they would have to ex- plain any of their actions pertaining to loyalty such candidate will be beaten as a result"

REVIEW OF AERIAL MAIL
 SERVICE OPERATIONS

The post office department author izes the following:
 In the first months operation of the aerial mail service between New York Philadelphia and Washington, a total of 2-5 tons of letter mail was trans ported. The planes carrying mail covered 11,1O9 miles and had total of 157 hours 59 minutes in the air. The average speed through storm and fair weather for the month was slight ly in excess of 70 miles an hour. Twen- ty-one out of 26 flights were complet- ed at Belmont before o'clock in the afternoon, 12 of them being between 2:3O and o'clock.
 Lieut.. Edgerton has to his credit 20 perfect flights of 130 miles, never hav- ing to mack a stop en route, and with out damaging plane. Lieut.. Culver, flying between New York and Phila- delphia, has 13 perfect flights to his credit, never having to stop en route, and having no damage to his plane. Lieut.. Webb has Il perfect flights to his credit. lieut.. Kilgore made g nonstop flights and two interrupted flights. Lieut.. Bonsal made 15 non stop flights. Lieut.. Miller made II nonstop flights, 4 interrupted flights and two planes damaged.
 In view of the success obtained in the first months operation of the ser vice, and the fact that the capacity of the machines is not being fully util- ized, the department has under con- sideration a reduction of the postage rate on aeroplane mail.

HOW FAR BEHIND THE
 BOYS ARE YOU?

One of Pershing's men, returned from France, was speaking:
 "When l left for home" he said, "the boys over there were feeling pretty blue, because they thought that you here in America were not backing them up as you ought. We had a pretty bitter winter over there. The weather was the coldest France has known in years. Most of us were without proper food and clothing. Some were even without shoes. None of us were complaining, though, but the feeling that when we were doing so much for you, you were not doing everything in your power to back us up sometimes bit in pretty hard.
 "We felt like the little Irishman felt in a Y. M. c. A. hut one evening. A bunchof us had gathered there to listen to a speaker from America. During the course of his lecture he said:
 We in America are behind you bON to a man.
 1ne my uIIle 4Ilsn IIlehu SOG uB Yes he said, you're all behind us all right, h-of ways behind 400O mjles.'"
 Are you that far behind "the boys" If you are, move up closer. Put all your energy into this War Savings campaign. Save to the utmost of your ability and put your savings into w. S. S., and get everyone else to do the same. Make "the boys" in France realize that while the mileage may be great, it is easily spanned by your willingness to help.
