SAYS S75PER CENT
DC. MAIL LGOESFREE
Postmaster Chance Says Re-
ceipts, If Government Paid.
Would Exceed al States.
WAR DOUBLED BUSINESS

1f the Washington city post Office
was paid for all of the government
mail which it handles. the receipts
of the local Cfiice would exceed those
Of forty-one states of the Union, ac-
ccrding to pamphlet prepared by
Postmaster NJ 0. Chance
The pamphlet states that three
fourths of all mail handled by the
Washington post office produces no
revenue.
Despite this fact. the report of the
Postmaster General for the fiscal year
ended June 81. 1918. shows that the
receipts of the Washington office
totaled S3.0S5. 1892. or more than the
post offices of twenty states.
Assuming that the postage value of
tie official mail would be approx
mately the same as the value of the
commercial mail which goes out of
Washington. Mr.. Chance estimates
hat his office would show total re-
'eirts of s12.340.29 if all the mail
produced revenue.
Evening star., 1919-03-31
Detailed Data,

The revenue of the local Office for
the nineteen months before the war
was S3,404."121S For the nineteen
months of the war it was sS.046259 96.
This was an increase of s2.642, ,226.S0,
OF IS per cent.
The table shows that the increase
in the amount of mail received in
Washington during the war was not
as great as the increase in outgoing
matter.
In the pre-war period 206..42 pouch
es were dispatched and 251. .091 re-
ceived. In the war period. however.
there were {22.295 pouches dispa tched.
against 330.S41 received. In the pre-
war period there were 2227146 sacks
dispatched and 559.517 received In
the war period there We're 3,164.152
sacks dispatched. against 1885, 40S re-
ceived.
The report of Mr. Chance for the
last fiscal year showed that the re-
ceipts of the local Office. amounting to
.3.oS519S1o, were more than the re-
ceipts of the post offices of twenty
states.
Evening star., 1919-03-31
Shows 129 Per Cent Increase.

The report is not prepared with any
view toward having the government
pay Tor its mail. but merely to show
In" amount of matter handled by the
local post office.
There are only seven states in the
lnion which show greater postal
revenue than the Washington office
would show if all the mail which
goes out of Washington was revenue
producing. They are New York.
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Illinois. Cali
fornia. MaSSa chusetts and Missouri.
The pamphlet also contains table
showing how. in comparison with the
nineteen months before the war, mail
increased in the local office during
The nineteen months the war was in
progress.
IN the nineteen months prior to the
entrance of the United States into the
war lS1. .66S.96S letters were mailed.

THE MOVIE REFERENDUM

In the referendum held at the Pleas
ant Hour theater regarding the idea
of a censorship committee or board
the vote seemed to be greatly one way.
Out of eight hundred and seventeen
votes cast, eight hundred and six Of
them were to the effect that a censor
was not needed at the Pleasant Hour
and was without any popular call for
such an officer or board. Eleven vot-
ed that censorship was a good thing.
Quite a number of the votes contained
sentiments of the voter as to what
they thought of censors, and several
of these notations on the ballots were
far from complimentary to the per-
sons who seem to desire to say what
shall be shown and what shall not,
In view of the approaching hot wealth
er of our usual summer some of the
views were entirely unreasonable.
They would have been more appropri-
ate just at the beginning of a long
and cold winter. This expression of
opinion by the patrons Of the Pleas
ant Hour Is the first one taken in the
city and seems to be rather conclu-
sive in its sentiment.

ing Mr.. and Mrs. Christie left for the

FINE SALE

The Nagel sale held on Tuesday was
another of those Brookings county
success sales that are becoming so
frequent. Prices were good and buy
ers were active in bidding for what
they wanted. Five head Of horses sold
for $4,000, an average of $4,000, and
as three of the horses we're only two
year old colts, it is certainly an an
swer to the question if it pays to raise
good or poor stock. Five cows sold
for $4,000, two of them were only
heifers and brought $40 and $50, the
older mes bringing s1l5, 1926 and
1923. There was a goodly CROWD
present and all seemed satisfied with
the result of the sale, both seller and
buyers. Auctioneer Rudolph states
that the roads were awful and that is
the reason why many interested par,
ties were not able to attend.

WHAT ONE SOW ACCOMPLISHED

On Saturday a hog sale was held
in the Fair Grounds pavilion by Z.
NJ. Barnett & Son that demonstrated
what big things can come from small
beginnings. Ten years ago Mr.. Bar
nett gave his son, then a high school
boy, a bred SOW, and the sale of Sat
urday is the final result of what that
SOW and her progeny have accom-
plished for Ray Barnett. This OF
course does not consider all of the
smaller sales that have been made
during the intervening years. Sixty
two head brought the fine sum OF
So, 10000, and nearly all of them we're
gifts. The top SOW was bid off at
$40. making an average for the en-
tire lot of $104. When it is remem-
bered that they were almost all un-
tried animals, it is a very high aver
age. There vas quite a big crowd
present and twenty-five animals went
outside of the county and five of them
outside of the state. The purchasers
were all well pleased with the offer
ings and with their purchases. Not
only vas this a remarkable showing
of what small beginnings will accom-
plish, but it was also n OF the pre-
MUM sales of the year. Messrs. Bar
nett have purchased five fine bred
sows from Johnson & Crothers and
are preparing to develop a fine herd
of swine.

FARMER ENTERS NEW FIRM

]. B. Biggar informs the Register

ers as a partner in the development
of a big pure bred hog proposition.
These gentlemen will combine their
three herds and will purchase more
sows and more land and conduct a large
breeding ranch for pure bred swine.
Mr.. Biggar will be the managing part
ner and give all of his time and at
tention to the practical working out
of the details Of this big enterprise.
The firm of Johnson & Crothers have
a high reputation and Mr.. Biggar is
we'll known in this county as n Of
the most successful of our swine
breeders. He is a young man Of en-.
terprise and progressiveness and will
take into the firm a new spirit of de.
termination and vigor. We congratu.
late all parties to this new combina-
ton and predict for them a future OF
success and profit.

THE C|TYLOSES
BUT COUNTY WINS
DIVISION BASKET BALL TOUR
NAMENT FINDS BROOkINGS
COUNTY AHEAD
ELKTON WILL SHOW WELL IN FINALS
Home Team At Great Disadvantage
Battle Against Odds And Fight
Bravely To The Finish

The basketball tournament of the
high school teams for this district was
held at State College last Friday af.
ternoon and evening and fair-sized
crowds were in attendance. In the
afternoon the pr~eliminaries were held
and Elkton beat Clear Lake by the
awful score of so to IA, and Brookings
got the best of IroQuois by the score
of rs to II. In the evening the
slaughter of the innocent occurred
when Elkton walked over, through and
across Brookings to the tune of As
to 5. Elkton was playing the same
kind o. ball they did last year, the
pepr your toes, kind, while Brook

80 ever played real ball before. All
he best players in the school had
,een carrying some conditions and it
is claimed that they we've not given
sufficient time in which to work these
off before the date of the tournament.
AS a consequence when a protest was
made to their playing and the matter
was referred to the state board of con
troll at Pierre, it was found that none
of the first team could play Supt.
Hargis seemed to have labored under
the impression that if they were work
ing off their conditions that it was all
that was necessary, while it turned
out that the rule is that no player can
be carrying any conditions in his
studies. Coach Holiday had worked
up a pretty good team and the boys
as we'll as himself are much chagrined
over the fact that the authorities in
charge did not understand the rules in
time to provide for these conditions
being removed so that u best play.
ers could be in the game. Elkton will
give a good account of themselves at
the state meet and we can be looking
for them to bring home the bacon.
If Bookings city did not win Friday,
Brookings county did anyhow. So of
course we are proud.
