A ARDMORE POSTMASTER
SAYS EFF|C|EN CY Of
SERVICE HANDICAPPED

Postmaster II. Lee Hopson was up
in the air this morning over the mail
service the public of Ardmore are re.
ceivng, but after rdding himself of
all surplus steam he stated that he
was doing his best in the face of tre-
mendous odds, to give the people of
Ardmore such service as they demand
and such as they are entitled to.
1t is difficult to keep clerks and
| carriers on the force for the reason
that u man with the intelligence re-
quired to fill either of these positions
can get twice as much money for his
| service from other sources, as the
government pays.
Clerks and carriers at the Ardmore
office receive a maximum of 81 400 per
annum, and they have to put in quite
a time of service before that figure
is reached.
On the other hand they can go to
the oil fields adjacent to this city and
for the commonest kind of labor get
from four to six dollars per day, and
workmen in the city at common labor
can get considerably more than a car

This morning one clerk was sick,
another had quit, and still another had

to other fields, and pastures greener
as soon as possible.
| An examination for clerks and car

| but so far the department has not fur
nished the postmaster with an eligible
| list and he does not know when he will
get it, until he does his hands are tied
and the service will have to suffer.
Postmaster Hopson states that he is
going to make every effort to better
the service here but it is going to
take some radical seconding and co
operating action on the part Of the
department for him to succeed.
The service i'm Ardmore for Il mum.

city, which is growing rapidly as re

1t is reported that the force today
is not one bit larger than it was eight
or ten years ago, when the volume of

the proportion it does today.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 6-After months
Of intensive study the Council Of Ma

taries Of War, the Navy Interior Asri-
culture. Commerce, Labor and Director
,f the Council, Grosvenor B. Clarkson
have arrived az a series OF definite con-
clusions as 10 the cause Of the present
high cost Of living and. what Is more
important. that body Of officials has
Agreed upon a series OF remedies.
While 10 IS true that no particularly
fresh discoveries have been made by
The Council either In the direction Of
causes or IN the direction Of relief, hut
It has stated the case and the cure in a
cogent and easily understandable fash
ION and 10 that extent hss made a con-
tributlon OF value TO the present dis
cussion OF this problem.
In the frst instance, the reasons
which the Council finds for Tho prevail
ing level OF living costs are summar-
Ted as follows:
That the nations productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized since
the armistlce.
That too few goods. notably the
necessities OF life. have been pro-
duced, and that even some Of these
goods have been Withheld from tho
market and therefore from the
people
That the high cost Of living Is due
in part 10 unavoidable war waste
and increase Of money and credit
That there has been and Is con-
siderable proftcering, intentional
and unlntentional
Having laid down these four PROPOSE
tions. all OF which have been more or
less discussed during recent months by

BIG YEAR FOR HONEY

According 10 predictions made
by the department Of agriculture
at Washington. the beekecper
may look forward confidently to
a prosperous season during the
coming summer and fall. The
department at Washington re-
ports that the increase In the
cost Of honey. owing to the big
export demand created by the
war. makes 1t safe to predict
that the coming year will see the
greatest effort ever made to
further Bookkeeping.
During the last half of 1918,
honey to the value of perhaps
S2.WO,oO was exported. This
was about ten times the valua-
ton for any year before the
beginning Of the war. which in
dlcates that honey has ceased
to be n luxury in the minds of
the allied peoples. The home
demand for honey has also In.
creased.

Chalsis Fly Is Principal Cause Of
Blighted Seed.

prepared by the United States Depart

The alfalfa-seed chalsls fly. an insect
the size of gnat, is the principal
cause Of blighted alfalfa seed. Its
range covers practically the whole Of
the United States. While its ravages
extend to clover and bur clover. the
largest damage is done TO alfalfa seed.
Damage occurs wherever an alfalfa
seed crop is grown, but is especially
severe in California and the states on
the Pacific slope of the Rocky noun
tains. The fly deposits its eggs
through the seed pod directly into the
green seed. where the larva Is hatch
ed and grows to maturity. All changes,
both larval and pupal, are effected in
side the seed. The adult insect

of the seed, leaving only hollow

The egg Of the chalcis fly is so small
as to be invisible to the naked eye.
Even the presence of the living larva
In the seed Is hard to detect except
by opening the seeds and examining
them under microscope. There is
some modification. however. OF the
shape Of the seed In which larvae are
feeding. The color. also, is likely to
be darker and the surface less glossy.
The basis Of control work is to al
low no seed pods to develop anywhere
before those Of the regular seed crop
and to leave no infested pods In fields
or around stacks In which the larva
Or pupa may overwinter.
