Improvements are being made and
new equipment added constantly at
the Morris post Office, the latest thing
being a new time clock. The Morris
post office has the distinction of be-
ing the only second-class office in
the United States that has one of
these clocks as part of its equipment,
and it is a big improvement in keep
ing track of the time of the different
people employed in the office: The
only persons who do not use the clock
are the postmaster, VIM. Hope, and
the. assistant, Mrs. Newell. The 9TH
ers check in when they go to WORE
each morning, check out when they
go to dinner, check in again at one
o'clock and out again at night. The
clock stamps the exact time on the
cards of each person, The carriers
check in and out each time they
leave and return from trip. Several
of the employers about the city have
expressed the idea that a time-clock
is."just what they need in their bust
ness, places. >}.~ag% r.

WHY ALL GOOD MEN
SHOULD BE MOOSE

The other day the writer suggested
+ to business friend that he should
/ join the Moose. This friend came back
with the question, "Why should II"
He then related that in the earlier
! days of his life he had joined several
fratemities but never paid much at
tention to them. Became engrossed
/ in business, was successful and from
time to time, added to his life in
surance until now he felt that he did
not need to belong to any beneficial
societies.
| Our reply to him was also in the
form of a question, "What have you
done to help your fellow-man while
you have joumeyed along the road to
prosperity" He was forced TO admit
that he had given very little thought
to the welfare of his brothers and so
we told him that while the Loyal
Order of Moose provided sick and acci-
dent benefits and funeral expenses for
those of. its members who needed such
benefits, still this is the smallest part
of the work of our Order.
The raising of the standard of
citizenship, education by association,
an interest in our fellow-men, an
opportunity to help others, the edu-
cation of deceased brothers children
and the giving to these children an
opportunity to make good in life are
some of the objects, aims and privi-
leges of the Loyal Order of Moose.
The carrying out of these objects is
far greater satisfaction to the man
who does not need its pecuniary bene
fits than to the members who does.
UnSelfishness is God-given quality
and when selfishness shall have been
crushed out of the human heart, the
day of universal brotherhood will then
be a reality and mans greatest pride
will be in his ability to help his bro
ther.
On the North American continent
more than a half million men have
banded together under the banner of
Purity, Aid and Progress. These men
have found in the Loyal Order of
Moose the opportunity to help their
fellow-men. Within the next few
years this army will double in size and
will stretch out its influences through
out the civilized world, preaching the
gospel of brotherhood and fraternity.
My friend signed an application.

ELMER FITZGERALD
COMMITS SUICIDE
Frisco Employe Kills Himself BY
Drinking POisOn-No In
quest to Be Held.

Springfield, Feb. Elmer Fitz-
gerald, % years old, an employe of the
Frisco at the north side shops, ended
his life yesterday about noon by drink
ing carbolic acid at his home, 921 E.
Adams st. Fitzgerald did not go to
work as usual, telling his wife that he
did not feel well. After eating break
fast he went down town but returned
in a short time. He secured a fresh
bucket of water and after giving his
two-year-old daughter drink he then
went to an adjoining bed room where
he was found struggling on the bed
a few minutes later by his wife.
A physician was summoned, but all
efforts to save the mans life were of
no avail and he died within a short
time without regaining consciousness.
An examination of the room disclosed
an empty bottle hidden behind the bed
and which had contained the poison
that caused his death.
Coroner Ely Paxson viewed the
body and after learning the circum-
stances surrounding the death decided
that an inquest was unnecessary. The
funeral will be held from the chapel
of the Bentz Undertaking company at
2:30 o'clock, Monday afternoon. Burial
will be made in Greenlawn cemetery.

Dulness Rules in Market
for Heauy Chemicals;
Glucose Is Wunted
for Export

The market for heavy industrial
chemicals continues inactive, buyer,
placing only small orders to fiji i'm
mediate and urgent needs.
There was a somewhat increased de-
mand for citric acid yesterday for use
in the manufacture OF syrups and in
the production of maznesla. 1t was
quoted at about S1.26 pound in second
hands. Stocks of this comm odity are
gradually accumulating after the re-
cent shortage which suddenly developed
with the spread of Spanish influenza
rnagnesia being largely resorted to as
an emergency remedy in the treatment
Of that disease. The demand was large
enough to almost wipe out the ready
supply Of citric acid
There was a heavy demand for glu-
cose, 43 degree, in the local market
yesterday, for export, at prices rang
ing from 6 to 6h cents a pound. This
product, which is used IN the making
Of confections and as BODY for sy,
rups, IS in increasing demand all over
the world, dealers say, while there is
little supply available outside of the
United States.

Steel Market Dull;
Output Decreases

a spirit of hesitancy still prevails in
the iron industry, and purchases for
domestic as we'll as foreign account are
restricted to immediate and pressing
needs only Consumers are generally
reported as waiting for reduction in
prices, while the same motive is hold
ing back the producers, who, in ad-
dltlon, are reluctant to go in for anv
large undertakings until further pro
gress has been made by the peace con-
terence. The iron market summary of
the Iron Age" ascribes the present state
of industries to the general mental
sickness that has taken hold Of the
world following the reaction that came
with the cessation of hostilities. That
authority is of the opinion that no bet
terment in the state of trade will take
place before next spring.
few tons of pig iron were sold
to European buyers last week in com
petition with English sellers, according
to the Iron Trade Review" which calls
attertion to the fact that this product
was quoted at unusually attractive
prices. mainly because of combination
OF circumstances which made pig iron
desirable as ballast. January pig iron
production showed a decrease from the
December output amounting to 100, ,32S
tons. This decrease was anticipated
The total production for the month Of
January was 3,303,7S5 tons, the number

Miners Suggest Lending
Germans Money to Buy
C0pper-The Steel
Trade

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The sugges-
ton that the United States lend Ger
man interests money enough to buy
what copper they need is made
by representatives of the copper miners.
The idea of the miners is that Ger
many needs copper badly but has not
the money with which to buy it. Ger
man buying, they contend. would have
the effect of strengthening up the mar
ket, which has gone down sharply since
the government agreements were sus-
pended. Prior to the war Germany
bought about 450,000OOO pounds Of
copper annually.
Senators to whom the proposal was
preached rejected the idea with some
Indignation, whereupon the represent
atlves of the miners went to Post
master General Burleson, urging him
while in control Of the telephone and
telegraph systems to buy more copper
supplies for Che telegraph and md tele- ssie
phone companies are bought the same
now as they were prior to the taking
over OF the systems by the government.
Reports from other quarters are to the
effect that the telegraph and telephone
companies have plenty of copper on
hand

Production OF Platinum
Jeicelry Increases as

On somewhat larger scale.
The release Of the platinum supplies
