The sorry zephyr that waited
Alma Chuck out of the operate
field and made necessary the SUBJ
stituticn of another work for Puc-
cini's ia Boheme" here next Tues
day night brought Omaha its
proverbial good fortune, for we are
to hear Verdi's celebrated "Un ballo
in Caschcra," a work rarely given
outside of the great opera houses
because of its elaborate scenic in
vestitu:e, and never before pre-
sented in this city.
The Chicago Opera company has
notified Miss Florence E. White
side, the local manager, that the adj
ditional stage equipment will be on
hand and that the full ballet will
be included. The some six or eight
extra musicians required in the or
chestra for this work also will be
provided Omaha opera goers are
indeed fortunate.
"The Masked Ball" was brought
out at Rome on February II, 1859,
after tempestuous preliminaries. 1t
was first called "Gustavo Ill" and
designed for production at the San
Carlo, Naples, but during rehearsals
Orsini attempted to assassinate Ma
.poleon III. and as the Staying of a
ruler is an incident in the opera,
its performance was forbidden.
Verdi Immediately changed the
title and transferred the locale from
Sweden to Boston, U. S. A., and
Richard, governor of Boston, was
substituted for Gustavo III. 1t is
amusing anachronism to suppose
that there were masked Balls in the

Between extreme eastern and ex
treme western points in Maryland
the railroad freight sevice is only
occasional. Some points are almost
out of touch with the railroads, but
for months past Uncle Sam has been
delivering fresh oysters by the gal
Ion, from beds in Chesapeake Bay
and elsewhere on the Maryland
shores to Leonardtown and other
points in Central and Western Mary
land within "a hours after they are
dug, and at a saving of from SOC to
$1.00 a gallon TO the consumer, who
pays only a few cents parcel post
charge plus the cost Of the oysters
at the river or bay side.
There are any number Of little
hamlets as we'll as the cities of New
York, Philadelphia and Washington,
where Individual consumers are
benefiting from the Governments
experiment. In some cases eggs
selling at regular market price Of
80 cents and a dollar are sold by the
poultry BREEDERS by parcel post at
from As to so cents dozen and de-
livered to the consumer at this price
plus few cents postage.
In a record kept of forty truck
deliveries it was found that the
average saving to the consumer un-
der the cost at market was in excess
of $50 shipment. One shipment of
274 bushels of potatoes hauled on
November of this year over one of
the parcel post freight routes showed
a selling price to the consumer that
represented saving of $216 on the
shipment. Another shipment of eggs
covering $3.50 dozen on November II
showed a saving of 1881 dollars to
the consumer compared with the
market price.
When the postal truck brings a
load of eggs or milk to the city it is
ready to make its return trip. On
this trip it carries merchandise and
mail, the latter at two cents a, let
ter. Approximately so letters make
a pound. At dollar a pound for
this class of mail which occupies a
little or no space the Government
can pay for it's service and have
plenty of room on its return trip to
carry back for little or nothing the
empty container it, brought on it's
city bound trip.

DEVEL OPMENT OF
SYSTEM
OF PARCEL POST:

| WASHINGTON, December II. -
Demand on the part Of the domestic
consumer is developing the postal
freight system of the federal parcel
| post to point where it has become
, generally known in most sections of
the country. This system, which
carries fresh produce from the farms
and returns merchandise and mail to
the farmers from the city, has thus
far been only an experiment to see
. what could be done.
To date there are approximately
!, seven motor truck lines being con-
Quoted by the Post Office Depart
ment, carrying produce from the
4 farm to the city and from township
and village to township and village.
: This latter phase of the work has
been of great help in stimulating
, commerce between points that have
!, little OF no railroad service. Only
a few thousand miles ais now cover
ed by the experimental routes, but
they are saving thousands of dol
lars, paying for the operating OF
mail delivery on their routes, and
over and above this earning enough
profits to tighten the national cost
of mail service and leave something
to put into the upkeep of the roads
these very routes travels, if it were
decided to do so.
Most of the present routes are in
the East, but there is one out in
Utah that traverses niIls eight
) thousand feet above sea level and
furnishes fast freight delivery over
hundred mile run in less than II
hours every day. This route is be-
tween Helper and Vernon, Utah.
Surplus army trucks are now used in
it's operation and many days of
year the route lies over snow drifts
and difficult hills, but so far the
service has maintained high stan
ard of operation.
This route used to be contract
route and the contractor carried ap-
proximately 10000 lbs, of mail over
it every year. The new post office
motor truck route, now carrying
produce and rural freight over the
route, has increased the haul to $780,
900 lbs, year and is doing this
wcrk at an annual cost Of $4,000.

WHY SOME PREACHERS

We all have our troubles and they
don't always come single. Take for
instance, the case of the down-trod-
den, under-paid ministers. These have
had no increase in salary-they are
working for the same wage they were
five years ago. They are forced to
get on with $4,000 a year just the
same as before the advent Of high
prices For long they would be invit-
ed to some courch members home
for the Sunday dinner of friend chick
en-; now all is changed. They have
no more chicken dinners for chicken
dinners are as scarce as miracles or
the grace of God Even at the week
ly prayer meeting they are hit pretty
hard in the pocket book, which is bad
enough any one knows, but to get on
with corned beef and cabbage for the
Sunday dinners is still harder. It's
really an insult that st. Peter will
surely resent some day.
Sincerely w. s. B.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Galveston News.)

A rather sarcastic subscriber at
Clebourne wants this newspaper to
print the Ten Commandments, under
two-column lead, played up as a
Washington dispatch. His idea is
that the Ten Commandments are so
nearly forgotten by the general pub
lie that reprint Of them would be
accepted by readers as interesting
news matter Our 'Cleburne patron
calls the decalogue "the greatest and
simplest code of laws the world has
ever known. And so it is. If the
peoples of the earth would but live
up to the Mosaic commandments,
most of our troubles would be over.
l. is mans inhumanity to man that
makes the millions act as they do.
II only the commandments against
covetousness and the bearing of false
witness were lived up to sincerely,
much of the worlds misery would be
relieved. But it is an humble leader
or would-be leader of men today who
doesn't proceed on the theory that he
mas better recipe for the cure of
social ills than Moses brought down
from Sinai. The very fact that Moses
used up forty years in leading the
children of Israel through a compar
atlvely narrow strip of wilderness
mas reflected through all the subse-
qrent centuries upon his quality as
a leader, and that reflection has borne
cDllquely on the commandments he
delivered as a messenger to his fol- |
lowers. Our modern leaders mostly
self-constituted, assume superiority
tc Moses, and, so assuming. do not
refrain from arrogating to themselves
the ability to think up and spread
OUT a better or more feasible moral or
economic or ethical code than tha
promulgated by the dusty old Israel
tie. 1t is weakness Of each suc-
cessive generation to assume for it.
SELF superiority over any preceding
generation. Much Island should hn

Every now and then we note a it,
erary coincidence, showing how great
minds run in the same channel For
instance, some years ago Ella Wheel
er Wilcox wrote a pretty good little
roem, bearing on the discrimination
OF the world against the woman who
sins as compared with its attitude to-
ward the man in the,case. Now, right
down here in starke, Florida, another
poet hobs up serenely and writes that
identical poem again, and prints it in
the Starke Telegraph. The Starks
person ought to get out copyright
or mandamus or somethinb, to pre-
vent Ella from stealing his or her
poems.
