DECORATIONS OF
PURE FOOD SHOW.
TO Be SURPRISE
sighty-Seven Distinct Exhib'
its Will Make Show
Biggest Of its Kind
in Country.

The services OF expert interior
decorators have been acquired by j.
J. Cameron, secretary OF the Omaha
Retail Grocers' association, to work
their miracles of transformation
upon the Auditorium for the big
Pure Food show, which the retail
grocers are to told beginning next
Saturday and continuing until the
following Saturday.
An entirely new and novel scheme
OF interior decoration will be fol-
lowed for the show The floor plan
has been worked out so that the
greatest number OF display booths
may be installed. This floor plan
has been so worked out as to make
the display booths not only practical,
but attractive.
Mr.. Cameron is not making pub
lie the general scheme of decoration.
He plans to furnish a surprise to
visitors to the show. The Audito-
rum is rather a barn-like structure,
but the decorators have assured Mr..
Cameron that when they complete
their work it will not be recogniz-
able as the same building.
Restrictions have been placed
upon exhibitors so that their dis
plays will not interfere with the aim
toward attractiveness and a big
corps of janitors and other workers
will be employed to restore the Au-
Nn ditorium r!,. to its norpal appearance
There will be 81 distinct exhibits
At the food show, making it one of
the biggest of its kind in the coun-
try. 1t would be still bigger show
with still more displays if the Audi
torium was OF sufficient size to ac-
eommodate them, as any number of
manufacturers, wholesalers and job
bers Of food products have applied
for space, which could not be award
ed them on account OF the limited
capacity of the building.

OUR POOR MAIL SERVICE.

An Engishman, who has been in
America. writes to the London Times
in its July 18th edition that the mail
system of America is the worst he
ever saw. To test it he mailed two
letters addressed to the same adj
dress which they should have reach
ed in six hours. One got there in
eighteen hours and the other in two
days. 1t is not unusual--the mail
service has never been so poor.
The writer has in the past month
paid ten cents each for registering
two letters, information Of whose
receipt was important. A receipt
card was asked for and we know
proper memorandum was made by
the local office. In neither case was
a receipt received from the address
see The department took the regis
ter fee under false pretenses and
did not live up to its agreement.
Every registered letter should bring
back n receipt as formerly. Now you
are told you will get it only if you
ask for it--and when you ask for it
maybe You do and maybe you don't.

WHO CARES FOR EXPENSE?

Seator Capper: One of the most
shameful extravagances Congress
must find means Of remedying is
the abuse Of the franking privilege.
Congressman Fuller of Massachus-
etts, recently asserted publicly that
-'there Is franked out of the House
office Building daily from 20 to 80
tons of mail matter and about cleo
tion time this quantity is increased
to 80 or 40 tons. One Congressman
sent out 100000 parcels Of litera-
ture and one political party at one
election sent out 55 million speech
es." Mr.. Fuller gives the superinten-
dent of the mailing force ms his
authority for the statement that lat
times there are from 500 to 600
clerks doing nothing but packing
free literature into free envelopes to
be sent thru the mails free of ex-
pense for congressman.
A certain congressman, who is a
candidate for governor in his state
sent out 100000 parcels Of books in
one day, "and upon inquiry at the
pOstoffice," said Congressman Fuller,
Il found that the postage to ordin-
airy mOrtals would have been 40
cents each for each parcel. 1t is a
simple matter, In arithmetic to see
that 100000 parcels at As cents
piece cost Uncle Sam more than
100000 for postage OF course.
the cost of the books themselves
(also free to the candidate) would
be greatly in excess of this amount.

SOME KANSAS FACTS
By Secretary j. c. MohIeT.

Were the land of Kansas equally
app0rtioned among the present in
habitants of the state, each man,
woman and child would have tract
OF about thirty three acres. As a
matter Of fact, the Kansas farms
average Old acres in size.
The total area of Kansas amounts
to 82,156 square miles, or 52,531,-
200 acres. Belgium is only one
seventh the size of Kansas; Seryia
is less than half as large; Roumania
is % per cent smaller, and so is
England, with Wales included. Den
mark or Switzerland is a little more
than fourth as large, and the
Netherlands are not one-fourth. The
States Of Pennsylvania and Indiana,
or Maine and Ohio united, or all
New England, with Delaware and
Maryland for company, could find
resting room on her ample bosom.
According to the latest census,
Kansas had 1,734,0O0 inhabitants.
If the population to the square mile
in Kansas equaled that of England
before the war, Kansas would have
fifty five million people; If as great
as that of Belgium, 54.6O0,00O peo-
pie; similarly, If on par with Mas
sachusetts, we would have $1,000
900 inhabitants; If even with Ohio,
100000, or with Illinois, $1,000
900.

Here is story from Harvey's

Its sadness speaks for itself and is
a vivid comment on how a grateful
republic Is caring for those who risked
their lives and lost their minds for

making speeches but he might take
a day off and visit this asylum incog
and see for himself what his de-
partment is doing for these soldier
boys. with the war ended nine
months ago:
Some months ago the Weekly cali
ed attention to the fact that troops
from France, shell-shocked, gassed
and wounded. whose minds had
given way in the trenches. had been
brought back to America and were
herded into st. Elizabeth's insane
asylum along with the degenerate
and criminal insane. Denials. that
denied nothing we had printed, were
followed by excuses. and then came
promises that conditions would be
remedied as soon as 1t was humanity
possible to do so. This was before
the armistice was signed in No

The other day we went over to
st. Elizabeth's to see some of these
boys. For while we looked over
the beautiful grounds and well kept
and then went to some of
the wards where casual visitors do
not go. We had been told that the
soldiers and sailors were segrated
from the unfortunates who are pick

times from the slums, but this was
a mistake.
We were taken through many

no nurses and no attendants, except
a youth who carried the keys, and
this was true Of the other wards.
We asked II these sick men were

the answer was mo" Such a thing

We asked If they were ever taken

ONE YEAR oE FAILURE.

The telegraph and telephone wires
have been turned back to their own
ers after one year of government
control. When on August /, 1918,
the wires were taken over by the
postoffice department many people
thought the millennium had come.
For many years 1t had been pointed
out that the government could
handle the wires so much better than
private owners.
Twelve months were not needed
to demonstrate the falsity of the
idea. Dropping from experienced
hands into the hands of politicians
of the Burleson stripe, service rap
idly degenerated on the telegraph
lines until it became a joke. The
telephone companies maintained a
better service but their business was
hampered by the food of orders from
Washington, many of which were
childish and incompetent. Politics
took the place of business and while
the country paid more it lacked SER
vice and the actual managers of the
lines, DESTROYS to give it and striving
their best to do so, were bound by
the political claptrap with which ser
vice became surrounded.
The wires are again in the owners
hands and they win have an oppor-
tunity to put the service back where
1t was. The country is mighty glad
OF 1t and is anxiously waiting for
the end Of that other disastrous
scheme, the government control Of

Of almost useless employees, that the
records were balled up so badly the
collapse OF the bureau followed.
All this Ii Illuminating and char
acteristic Of departmental manage
ment In Washington. But note this:
Besides the commission to allot Of
fee space, Congress also has pro-
yided an efficiency commission to
recommend reductions or changes In
the departments, and a commission
to reclassify Government employees
In Washington, butt has given
none of these commissions authority
to do away with useless or unneces-
sary employees. And this Is very IL
Eliminating Of the way business
sometimes is transacted by Congress.
1t was disclosed in one of the
hearings On appropriations that there
were forty-seven agencies spending
money in the Public Health Service
alone. No one has to have any con
gressiOnal experience to know this
is ridiculous and wasteful and must
be remedied. Elimination of unnec-
essary employees and reorganization
Of the departments to prevent dupli-
cation, are recognized as needed by
the entire public service.
1t is only fair to say the new
Congress did not have time in the
six weeks 1t had to examine the ap-
preparations. TO go thoroly into all
these matters. but / am hopeful that
before the time comes to make APP
preparations for another year, some
thing will be done to bring about a
co ordination of governmental func-
tiOns among the departments and an
elimination of useless offices and
employees. 1t has got to come.

THE BACK OF THE u. s. A.

There surely can be no disposition
in the United States to do what
President Wilson fears will be done
--''break the heart of the world
by inconsiderate changes in the Gov
enant of the league Of nations. There
may be-we hope there is-a dis
position not to break the back of the
United States by adopting something
too heavy and dangerous for the
United States to carry.
The United States does not want
to break the heart Of the world, or
break its own back, or be put at
some future time to the unpleasant
necessity OF breaking its word. If
anything has to be broken a little
we prefer that 1t be the heart of the

MAY FIX 1T NEXT YEAR.

Senator Capper does not see much
hope of cutting down the number OF
useless employees in Washington un.
til next year. He says:
ut seemed to be the policy of the
director of the war risk bureau to
see how many employees he could OBJ
tain irrespective of the work to be
accomplished. He had nearly 49,
600, and every girl that could be
induced to come here from any part
of the country was added to the list.
And this is why the bureau eollap-
sed."
Il have been in the building" says
Senator Shoots report, "when IL
was so crowded with girls that they
were falling over one another. / do
not believe the girls in that bureau
did as much work in a IA hour day
as could have been done, and done
much better, by competent employees
in an hour and a half"
Consequently a great quantity Of
the information collected in the be-
ginning, and the records kept, by
the War Risk Bureau, were worse
than useless and had TO be done away
with entirely, because the informa-
ton was incorrect. 1t was due to
such Encouragement and this mob
