Prices OF sole leather show the eff
fects OF the situation. They have adj
vanced about percent In the last 30
days. and rs all buyers are partial to
the top grades, a short supply is the
result This estimate is b1sed on
grades commonly known dis high, but
there Is q choice beyond these which
are termed fancy selections, confined
largely to oak bends, and these
brought $1.O2 pound last week.
Present prices win not hold indefi-
nitely, but they are holding now and
are what buyers are facing at present
and upon which the cost of production
must be based.
Upper leather Is In the same cate

supply, and prices are very firm.
Choice colored calf Is now selling at
IS cents, and tanners are urged to
make forwardings promptly. Even
fine blacks bring from 10 to IS cents.

MUZZLING THE REPUBLICANS.

Z The action of Senators Lodge of Mas
sachusetts and Curtis of Kansas in re-
questing Republican senators to make no
expression of opinion concerning the
amended draft Of tie league of nations
covenant until after the draft has been
thoroughly considered and after the Re-
publicans have had a conference to de-
termine what they will do about sup
porting the document may be construed
as an effort definitely to place the league
of nations as football of politics in
stead of bulwark of humanity. 1t has
been aid time and again that the league
of nations matter should not become the
football of politics, and there have been
sound reasons for taking such position.
If an. thing should be divorced from
American politics, this matter of world
peace should be separated as far as from
pole to pole, were that possible; the
question of maintaining the peace of the

should be no place for politics in the
discussion, So we regret to see that Sen
ator Lodge and his colleague from Kan
sas are evidently trying to muzzle the
Republican side of the Senate until such
time as a concerted course of action
might be agreed upon by the leaders of
that lol teal party. Those in the Repub-
lican party who still believe in indepen-
dence of view on matters which have no
relation to politics may resent this I'M
warranted effort to hold the entire Re-
publica.. wing of the Senate in leash
pending the formulation of policy.

Cadillac Men Pay Visit to
Factory; Brinq Back Cars

p ]. Fl. Hansen, the new president
of the local Cadillac concern, recent
ly invited his entire sales organiza-
ton for a visit to the Cadillac fac
tory. The statesmen mere given an
opportunity of studying the methods
employed in the manufacture Of \
complete automobile such as the
Cadillac. The statesmen saw the in
finite care exercised in the making
of Cadillac engines, Cadillac bodies,
Cadillac frames, Cadillac wheels and
ali minor details connected with the
manufacture of this high-grade mo-
tor car, all parts of which are made
by the Cadillac people or by their
accessory plants. The Omaha or
ganization gave a banquet to the fac
tory sales organization at the Pont-
chartrain hotel, at which time the
problems of both factory and sell
ing organization were discussed. All
of the men journeyed home from the
factory in seven new Cadillac auto
mobiles, which were secured for
purchasers who had waited long for
delivery. According to Mr.. Hansen,
the manufacture of Cadillac cars has
now begun to increase and Cadil-
laos are again coming through to
Omaha in carload lots. The men
who composed this party were H. L.

bage, L. G.. Hunt, T. H. Hunt, J. w.

marked success, and it is anticipated
that most of the motors will be httet
to use this kind of fuel instead Of
the higher grade gasoline. The
value of these planes will reach
something like $256,4SS.
But oneof the most important i'll
novations in the collection and dis
tribution of mail has been the intro
duction of government-owned We
hicles for city service. The contract
service for the collection and de-
livery of mail and the carrying OF
mail between depots, postoffices and
stations is being replaced, where it
is advantageous to do so, by vehicles
owned and operated by the postal
service so soon as the private con-
tracts expire. Government-owned
motor trucks are being operated
wholly or in part in e cities.
The extension of the use of the
departments own trucks has provid-
ed a means OF utilizing a great many
Of the surplus army trucks. The
War department has turned over
something like 1902 trucks, valued
at approximately $3,781,76O, for use
in the city mail service.
On account of the extensive use
of its own machines, the department
has found it advantageous in some
of the cities to operate its own gar
ages and repair shops, especially
where it is not possible to lease ade-
uuate and convenient quarters. II al

close to = month for \ letter to
travel across the United States;
With the gradual establishment OF
the air mail service westward, no
doubt mail may be sent across the
United States in two days; especial
ly will this be true if night flying
becomes a fact, as indications point.
From so to two days is decided
change in speed of mail. .
The first years operation OF the
air mail service has indicated the
judgment of the department in
entering upon the work. In the
years operation an aggregate OF
l28,255 miles was covered and an
aggregate of l93,02l pounds of mail
was carried, the cost Of the opera
ton being Sl37,o0008. 1t may be
we'll to state here that the same six
planes that entered upon this service
little over year ago with the
same engines are rendering a con-
tinuous service. This demonstrates
that the results in commercial flying
are much safer and more practical
than in exhibition or military
flying.

ready has begun work on the Wash
ington city postofhce garage, which
is being constructed on the ground
of the city postoffice, on North Cap
itol street. 1t will cost about 100000
1t will house 10 cars and will save
$1,000 a year in rent and $4,000 in
dead mileage, gasoline and time on
account OF its convenience to the
main postoffice.
The automobile in place of the
horse driven vehicle did not come
into regular use in the delivery and
collection of mail until 1907. Now
many of the rural carriers furnish
their own machines under a provi-
sion. granting them additional COM
pensation.
Some of the army trucks are be-
ing used on special motor truck
routes laid out through territory not
reached by other means of transport
tation. These experimental routes
are being very successfully operated.
The department has only a limit
ed appropriation for extending these
motor truck routes, but such as have
been operating have proven great
aid in the distribution of products
from the farm to the city and mer-
chandise from city to country. 1t
has also stimulated the demand for
better roads, The parcel post rates
have been reduced, the weight OF
parcels increased and the rural mo-
tor truck service has facilitated this

ordinarily twice as fast a. by train
and the most promising Of such
routes is the run from New York
to Chicago, which already gives a
handsome profit on operations,
assures the shortage OF Pacific coast
mail by "a hours and throws an in
teresting light on the dangers Of
aviation.
In a period of one year, covering
4 travel of l2S,2s5 miles, there has
never been an aeroplane carrying
the mail which has fallen out Of the
sky. There has not been a single
death Of an aviator in carrying the
mails, which speaks we'll for the
American built airplane and the
mechanics who are engaged to keep
them flying. The casualty for the
year comprises two deaths. One Of
these was the case OF an aviator who
was demonstrating his flying ability
and the other a mechanic who fell
into the propeller of machine that
was on the ground
This record means, taking into
account all Of the accidents, that
there has been but one death for
each 640lS miles flown; one serious
accident in each 64,0l8, and one
minor hurt for each 2l,340 miles.
This is a record which will com.
pare favorably with any mode of
mechanical transportation in its
pioneer period. Especially in this
record a strong tribute to the Ameri
can built motors.
Saving in Larger Planes.
With larger airplanes and over
greater distances substantial reduc-
tons in the sum paid to railroads
would be made, besides cutting
down the time of transit by one
half.
Experiments are now being car
ried on looking toward the delivery
and taking aboard of mail bags
while the airplane is in fight. It's
now regarded as possible for those
carrying 1000 pounds or less to
come close to earth and snatch bags
from specially prepared apparatus.
For the big ships scheme IS pro-
posed for dropping mail or taking
it on from the roofs of buildings.
If this proves practicable it will
be possible to make nonstop runs
from New York to Washington,
serving Baltimore and Philadelphia
and eliminating IS minutes stop at
each place.
Since the end OF the war has made
available larger planes salvaged
from war stock, mail can be CARRIED
in greater quantities at greater
speed and advanced toward the Pa
cifc coast daily to its destination.
This is a service that the public is
now demanding and will in course
of time supplement the train serv-
ice. Therefore the air mail has
been placed on the same basis as
other mail transit. The price OF
postage has been made the same.
The War department has turned
over to the Postofice department
something over 50 airplanes so far,
many of these having been rebuilt
for service in carrying the mail. Al
cohol. with certain other additions

In the early days the need for

became the pioneer in the develop

a factor in their growth, and now

NINE CIRCUsEs THIS YEAR

There will be nine circuses on the
road this season. When this coun-
try entered the war the necessity for
economizing on fuel, railroad cars,
ETC.. and the fact that many of the
performers were needed in various
departments of the army made it nee
essary for the travelling shows to
quit travelling. Now that the war is
over the circus men are again organ
izing their forces and a big meeting
Of circus men is now being held at
the Congress hotel in Chicago to ar
range routes, etc. Already il has
been decided that nine circuses will
tour the country and Audubon may
have a chance to see one of them.
The Barnum and Ringing shows
have united and in addition there are
eight others as follows: Gentry
Robinson, Sells-Floto, Barnes, Rob-
inson, Downs. Sparks and Hagen
beck Wallace.
Three of the seven Ringing broth
ers are still living and they will man
age the Barnum x Ringing show.
Ever since the armistice was sigh
! ed the work of securing wild animals
for the menageries has been going
along steadily. Most of the Hagen
beck animals were killed for food in
Germany during the war, but agents
have been busy in all parts of the
world and 1t Is said that the menag-
cries will he as complete as ever.

OUR NEIGHBORING STATE
LOSES MILLIONS ANNIIAUJy

Urbana, H., March 1.-Sixteer
| million dollars are wasted in the state
of Illinois by rats every year, accord.
ing to A. w. Jamison. assistant SUI
perintendent of agricultural extension
at the University of Illinois, in an adj
dress on Waste on the Farm" de.
livered before the Young Mems Coun.
ty Association of Kankakee county
recently. Mr.. Jamison estimates
that each rat destroys between 40
and so pounds Of food annually, that
10000 men provide rats with home
and fed and that it takes $4,000
more men to replace the property de-
stroyed by them.
Mr.. Jamison said. Maryland esti-
mates her board bill at one quarter
of cent per day for 100000 rats.
Their board bill amounts to S3,193,-
$50 a year. Illinois is six times the
size OF Maryland. If her rat popula-
tion is the same ratio we feed TO-
100000 rats ct cost Of $4,000
600. One pair of rats breeding un-
interruptably for three years would
he increased to 359,7O9,4S2. Better
kill a few ancestor rats while they
are around the buildings. Thir-
teen farmers in Talbot county, Md,
during county campaign had q
total catch of 425 rats; the largest
number on one farm being 10S. The
average was 80 rats to farm. Start
a rat club. a rat and sparrow club
in England spent $50 in prizes and
in three years destroyed $4,000 rats
and $4,000 sparrows.
