MAIL SERVICE BY
AIR IS SUCCESS;
DELIVERY FAST

Washington, d. Records for
transportation of mail along the east
ern seaboard and from New York city
west are being established daily by the
airplane mail service which now ia
well along toward its fifteenth month
of existence. Phe service, according
to Otto Praeger, second assistant post
master general, who is in charge, has
speeded mail delivery all over the
country
Letters mailed in New York city or
arriving there from New England be-
fore eight o'clock in the morning are
sent by airplane so far as possible, in
suTing their delivery in Washington by
noon. Those for Washington are sent
out on the first mail delivery In the
afternoon and those intended for cities
farther south are forwarded in earlier
trains than otherwise would be posi-.
ble
The same is true of the New York.
Chicago airplane mail route. The time
from New York to Chicago is cut down
to between nine and ten hours. There
Is corresponding saving on mail from
Chicago and western cities intended
for New York.
There are two airplane mail routes
In the country, one between Washing
ton and New York city and the other
between New York city and Chicago by
way of Cleveland.
Air Service to Be Extended.
Flights are made in both directions
over these routes every day, with such
success that the postoffice department
is about to institute other routes which
will link up Omaha, Neb. and St
Louis, Mo. These latter routes are to
be opened alToSt Immediately, to care
for the volume of mail and to assist
In quick deliveA es to and from t Pa.
cific coast.
1AirT lane mail service started on May
Is, 1918 largely as an experiment, with
a route between New York city and
Washington. Two trips a day had been
arranged, one in each direction. The
first fight from Washington was a
spectacular affair in which President
Wilson and other officials figured prom.
inentIy and sent letters just before the
aviator started. Since that time the
service has continued without inter.
ruption.
Postage for airplane mail at the time
was fixed at fifteen cents an ounce, the
pOstoffice department figuring that
speedy delivery made that price fair.
In addition to being carried by air.
plane the letter was to be specially
delivered which ordinarily costs ten
cents in addition to letter postage.
Airplane mail service continued on a
paying basis for a time, until the nov
city wore Off Many persons at first
used the airplane mail for it's novelty,
and the letters carried were unimpor-
tant, apparently. At any rate, after
few months, the sale of airplane stamps
dwinded, as did the mail.

SOME person or persons, and it
does not seem to be the work of boys,
have taken it upon themselves to do
az much damage as possible to the
equipment of the children's play
grounds which have been established
on grounds at the Garfield school,
with the result that some valuable
equipment on which good deal of
time and money has been spent, has
been put out of commission.
These Fairgrounds were estab-
lished by the Women's Council
through public donations and money
raised by the Women's Council and
they are fine place for the children
of the city to enjoy themselves
When the grounds were established
a director was in charge and expected
to remain here and give them SUPER
vision, but this director has since
moved away and other arrangements
for supervision have not as yet been
made.
With the school year soon to start
the school department of the city
should take it npon themselves to
provide supervision for the play
grounds as part Of the education of
the children of the city. To learn
to play the proper way is just as i'm
portant to the growing child as to
learn to work, and it should be a
part of their training.
Some people have the idea that
only education and work should be
drilled into the mind of the child,
but without proper recreation the
child will be unfit for either work
or educational training and this
should be taught through the schools
and in turn it will be carried home
to the parents of the children and it
will not be long until the Fairgrounds
can be maintained without suffering
destruction from people who at the
present time may be opposed to the
Fairgrounds.

Bad Morning Fire

The Milberg grocery store was
almost totally destroyed by fire
at an early hour this morning,
the damage to the buildingfand
contents being in the neighbor-
hood of eight thousand dollars,
partly covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered by
Oscar Plumton, proprietor of
the ,Bayview Hotel. Mr.. Plum
ton had just.come nsfrom.a "trip
with his automobile when ne
smelled smoke and he immedi-
ately made an Investigation of
his premises, thinking that the
fire might be around his proper
ty, but shortly afterwards he
noticed flames at the rear of the
Milberg grocery store.
An alarm was sounded but
when the department. arrived
the fire had good start and it
proved a difficult blaze to put
out. The fire started in the
basement and spread to the
store above and to the roof and
was not'extinguished untilabout
seven o'clock this morning. The
loss to grocery stock and fix
lures was almost complete while
the building was badly Quilted.

especially New York, afraid of
losing some of the foreign bust

that the government will see fit

gained it begins to look as if
they will have little trouble in
reaching their goal. This asso-
citation started out with some
forty patrons and they have now
reached seventy.six, with more
being added weekly. The farm
er is beginning to realize that a
lot of work on the farm is es.
capped by letting the creamery
have his cream while the returns
are about as great.
Last year there was short
age of hay on the farms in this
vicinity and many of the farm
ers disposed of a part of their
stock, but this year, with barns
full and hay in abundance the
number of COWS is going to be
increased, which means more
business for the creamery and
more money for the farmer.
