YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG
Larrazolo's Letters

Governor Larazolo has issued
three letters to the public; one to
the District Judges, one to the
municipalities of the state and
one to localities where no munic-
palities exist. These letters are
sent out with a view of putting
an end to profteering. IL there
be any. the inv a7t cation Of ex-
isting conditions being the meth
cd recommended by the Execu-
tive to bring out the facts.
The substance of his letter to
the Judges is as follows: For
some time past, ! have been Civ
ing serious thought to the diff
icult problem Of living under ex-
listing conditions and to a method
whereby that problem can be
solved, IL possible of solution.
| believe that under the constitu-
ton, giving the general congress
power to regulate interstate
commerce. it is difficult for any
individual state to properly deal
single handed with that PROPOSE
ton; still. II anything we can do
properly under the law to rem
edy a condition that has become
unbearable, | believe il is our
duty TO apply that remedy as far
as we may, IL such remedy can
be found under our laws. Sec
tons 1886 and 1886 might in a
measure bring about some re-
lief"
IL therefore call your at
tention to these sections and
beg to suggest that II might
prove beneficial TO call the at
tention Of the grand juries of
the various counties Of your dis
trict. The Attorney Generals
office has made a similar request
Of the several district attorneys
in the state"
In the two other letters refer
red to, the Governor says: "I
will not hesitate to call a special
session of the legislature with a
view Of eEacting such laws as
will protect the public against
extorhon and undue. illegal pro-
hteerinR. l have great faith,

URGES 13 MONTHS IN YEAR
Plan for Simple Perpetual
Calendar.

Cincinnati. - Printed calendars
would be a thing of the past If the
perpetual calendar were adopted" said
c.. B. Braunstein, who has a plan for
simplifying dates.
LET the year be divided into Ii
months Of % days each. This would
make 1854 days. AS there are 1854
days in a year, the odd day could be
placed anywhere in the calendar and
be a universal thanksgiving day. The
other extra day would come every
fourth year and could be placed after
the last day in leap year and be known
as Zero day. Leap Year day or Gala
day
"Under this plan Monday would al
ways come on the LIST, 9Th, 18th and
22d days Of the month; Tuesday on
the I'd, 9th, 10th and Odd; Wednesday
on the Sd, 10th, 18th, Oath; Thursday

FIX DUTY ON FLYING PLANE
Tariff on Machine Brought Into Coun.
try on Its Own Power Is
Puzzle at First.

Washington. - Customs authorities
have encountered the first case Of an
airplane imported into the United
States under it's own motive power.
An American bought a Canadian
plane, and it was flown across the
border near Detroit. The question then
arose as to whether 1T is dutiable, par
ticularly since airplanes are not men
toned in any tariff acts.
Customs officials finally decided that
If 1t remains permanently in the United
States 1t should be taxed 'as a manu-
featured article" at the rate Of 20 per
cent, and If it flies out of the country
again within six months 1t will be re-
garded as "On a tour" and will not be
taxed. In view Of the prospects that
international air touring may soon be
common, the ruling was regarded as
important.

the possibility of Germany Coming

German people are disguised with the
military idea, which has brought them
nothing but misery and hunger, and
that above all other things the French,

This does not mean that any ami
able feeling is growing among the
American officials here In Paris to-
ward the Germans, and 1t does not
mean that an unfriendliness toward
the French people is developing. The
Americans who have been In Germany
and who know the Germans from long
experience before as well as during
the war, are convinced that the Ger

Doctor Taylor and DR.. Vernon Kel-

Germany has no great amount of
manufactured goods waiting to be;

state in the Union, and to every city.
town, hamlet and rural route.
Mr.. Richard n. Bird, who was de-
tailed by the post office department
TO take general charge Of the Offices at
Bordeaux and Brest, has recently re-
turned from France and his report Of
the work over there Is full Of interest.
Mail leaving this country addressed
to the expeditionary forces in France
passes out Of the jurisdiction Of the
post office department into that of the
army when 1t leaves the port of de-
~barkatiOn at New York. The army
collects the soldiers mail through APP
proximately 80 army post offices scat
tered throughout France, making the
letters up in packages by states, and
delivers 1t to the officials of the post
office department at Bordeaux and
Brest. Before being dispatched to the
United States all mail Is sorted at Bor-
deaux or Brest and made up for direct
dispatch to cities and railway mail
routes In this country.
Every bit of mail is cleaned up to
the very minute of sailing, and choice
between sending 1t by a slower boat or
by a faster boat that may sail a day
later is determined by the time sched-
uled for the boats to arrive in New
York. The boat to arrive first is given
the mail in preference to sending it a
day ahead by a slower boat. Approx
mately % dispatches, or one every day
except Sunday, are made from either
Bordeaux or Brest each month. and
the time to New York Is about ten
days, with an infrequent delay of q
day or two due TO storms or accident.
Sent Direct to Trains.
The pouches or sacks when received
In New York are sent direct to the
railway postal cars and dispatched on
fast mail trains to the routes or cities
for which they are labeled. About So
per cent of mail is handled in this way.
The soldiers being located with sub
stantial permanency since the signing
of the armistice, there Is no delay in
the distribution of mail on the other
side by the army except where it is
improperly addressed or the unit to
which 1t Is addressed is one selected
to return TO the United States. In the
latter case the mail is held on this
side. Whenever any mail from the
army post Offices is delayed reaching
Brest or Bordeaux, the date Of its re-
ceipt at those terminals is noted by
."back-stamp" on the delayed letters.
The site of the Bordeaux terminal
post Office is on the river close to the
depots. The building Is $50 feet long
and 28 feet wide and is well ventilated
and lighted. II was built by the United
States army engineers from plans sub
mitted by Mr.. Bird. 1t has every con
venience for employees, and every ap-
pliance for the proper handling of
mail. Provision is made for 10000
separations of letter mail and 400
separations Of paper mail.

Home Bound Mail From France
Increased Enormously
After ArmiStice.
SEND TONS OF SOUVENIRS
Post Offices at Bordeaux and Brest
Have More Extensive Distribution
Service Than Any Post Office In
World--MaiI Handled Quickly.

Washington.-Since the boys "over
there" have stopped fighting they have
taken to letter writing.
The hOme-bound mail from France
has increased enormously since the
signing Of the armistice and the parcel
post has become a souvenir service.
The value OF souvenirs may be meas
ured by the ton, consisting Of small
cases, parts of rifles and revolvers,
bayonets, uniform buttons, and frag-
ments of demolished airplanes.
A captured German helmet is the
most priced token. Four or five hun
dred thousands of these have come
through the mail since the war began,
and the shipping requirements Of the
postal service were relaxed SO that a
large number have come through I'M
wrapped.
The mail from the American forces
in France Is dispatched from two
ports, Bordeaux and Brest.
During the month of November-the
armistice having been signed on the
11th-17 ,615,4OO letters were dis
patched from Bordeaux, besides 2,S16
sacks Of papers; 5.419 sacks Of Gus
toms packages and 26,0S9 pieces of
registered mail, the whole volume
amounting to.2S7k tons.
Busy Letter Writers.
The fght-freed boys got into full
swing of letter writing during Deem
Der and January. and for these months
the amount Of mail increased about 20
per cent ove the plethoric month Of
November. One soldier wrote 80 let
ters In a single day. 1t Is not known
how many others equaled or surpassed
this record. Frequently IL to Is let
tiers were sem by each soldier.
1t is likely to be some time before
the home-bound mail from France
grows less. AS the number Of boys
coming home increases the impulse to
write becomes stronger among those
who remain. The regularly equipped
post offices at Bordeaux and Brest,
from which all mail from the expedi-
tiOnary forces to the United States Is
dispatched, have the most extensive
distribution service Of any post Office
In the world. While a larger volume
Of mail is carried by the New York
and Chicago Offices, their fields Of dis
tribution are more restricted. From
Bordeaux mail is dispatched to every

"WHY HE is DETAINED"

A remarkably striking cartoon en-
titled "Why He is Detained" by Nc.
Cay, appeared in the New York Am
erican, William Randolph Hearst's
leading newspaper, on the editorial
page, in the issue of Wednesday, June
4th.
The picture represents President
Wilson seated at table with King
George, who is filling the Presidents
glass out of bottle labeled, "RoyaI
Condescension," and asking, "Do you
like it?" to which the President is
quoted as answering, otis great;
can't get enough of it." Standing be.
tween them with her hand on another
bottle is maiden labeled 'The French
Republic" who. holds aloft other bot.
ties labeled, "French Flattery," Eu.
ropean Attention." etc. Tuggfng al
the Presidents sleeve but unable to
divert his attention from the feast, is
a child labeled, american interests
who is appealing to him with, "Fath-
err, dear Father, come home with me
now"
1t is most significant depletion OF
the Presidents protracted sojourn
abroad, and is rendered all the more
remarkable by the fact that it is ex-
plotted in newspaper that uniformly
supports the Democratic. ticket in a
national campaign.
