WASTING WEAITH.

The United States National Museum
has prepared a series of exhibits to
aid in the conservation of natural
wealth-coal, fertilizers, petroleum
water power and gas.
Gas for example which pours from
the earth in vast quantities in the oil
regions, is being exhausted by waste
fitness. Every year an increasing
| number of towns are compelled to
augment their natural gas supply with
artificial gasti which eats into the
precious reserves of coal.
The exhibit represents how for
tunes are dissipated through the mis-
use of gas. Wells drilled for oil are
abandoned while enough gas pours
out to light cities and run great manu-
factories. Unless the gas can be I'M
mediately utilized commercially. no
'3ne cares what becomes of it.
Wastefulness depicts our forests;
great sources of power in our river
await the exploitation of private cap
ital; profit, not public need dictatos
the operation of our mines,
What tho government is attemptif,s
through the National Museum is com
mendable, but instead of pleading TO,
conservation, the government should
be enforcing conservation.
Control of what nature has bestowed
should rest with the people of the
United States, not with the selfish in
terests whole sole concern is the pill
ing up Of dividens.

THE uNpERPAlD MAIL CLERK.

: THE uNDERPAiD MAIL CLERK.
If your mail is late, you blame Bur
Lesson.
Wait bit. Burleson's only one
man. He couldn't disorganize the Ell.
tire postal service. He's not a good
enough disorganizer
Then what's the trouble? The Bis
trouble is simply this:
Postal employees don't get living
wages
And so they quit. And the govern
ment can't hire enough good men to
take their places. Which means the
men are overworked. And that means
more men quit. And the good loyal
efficient men that remain see their
Fcrmer fellows getting more money
and MAXIM ggood in other work and
they begin to realize there's no future
advancement in their postoffice posi-
tons. So they lose their pep-and
your mail keeps getting later and
later.
Present salaries in postal work were
fixed by congress in 1912-two years
before the war.
Railway mail clerks, for instance,
start at $1.110 a year
That was fairly good salary to
tart on in 1912.
But railway mail clerk must know
The names of all the postoffices in sew
eral states. and how they are reached
by mail routes Some of the larger
state contain nearly 5000 postofflce5
So that applicants for jobs as railway
mali clerk must keep in his head sew
eral thousand postoffices and how to
reach them. And the government
pays such men 81 100 year
A superintendent of railway mail
service with 1900 to 1000 men work
ing under him, and controlling rail
way car space that cost the gov
eminent 100000 gets $500 year
Such men out in the business world
command $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
OF thirty-six men who take the pre-
liminary examinations for posts in
the railway mail service. only six Ton
the average) qualify, and of these six
only one will take the job when they
discover what they're up against,
The loyalty of the railway mail en-
p,Cyees can be gagged when you know
that may of them have been more
than Is years on the service.
And conditions in the railway mail
service are repeated in other branch
es of the postoffice.
Certainly it's Up to congress to i'm
prove the mail service in the only
possible way-by fixing salaries that
will attract high class men to the
work and keep those that are already
it.

mails.

Miss Emma SEWER Of Crsston, Iowa,

Miss Emma SEWER of Creston.
Iowa, where she has held position
as linotype operator on the Cres-
ton papers for some years, arrived
in Holly Saturday from Rocky
Ford, where she has been visiting
n sister, and has accepted position
on The Chieftain.
Thus, The Chieftain office, has
been relieved from a two weeks
handicap, during which there was
no operator on the job, and the pa
per came near missing an issue, ex-
cept for the timely aid of the Daily
News and Register forces at Lamar.
From this time on 1t is hoped The
Chieftain will reach it's readers on
time, as Miss Sewer is very pro.
flcient operator. It Is also hoped to
make the paper better from time to
time as the business and other de-
mands may justify.

One Of the largest and most i'm
pOrtant business transfers in Holly
for some months was the purchase
this week of stock. business and
good will of the Gretchen Lumber
Company jointly by the R. w.
English Lumber Co. and the w. F.
McCue Mercantile Co. The two
firms. it is understood will absorb
the Gretchen stock equally and
that the Gretchen yard will be
abandoned.
The transaction had been pend
ing for several weeks though
tangible agreement was not reach
ed until last week.
H. A. Dawley, general manager Of
the r.. w. English Lumber Co.,
whose headquarters are at Rocky
Ford, and N. K. Berry of Lamar. rep
resenting the w. F. McCue Mercan-
til Co, arrived here Sunday even
ing to close up matters and an in.
ventOry of the stock was completed
yesterday morning. The exact con-
sidcration has not been made pub
lie but is said to involve something
in the neighborhOOd of $4,000.
MIR. +. j. Gretchen. president and
general manager vi the Gretchen
Lumber Co., who was also the prin-
cipal owner Of the business, has not
determined what he will turn his
attention to in the future, but will
of course, remain here for some
time yet, to collect up outstanding
accounts.
During his residence and business
operations in Holly, covering per-
iOd of some five or six years, Mr..
Gretchen by his jovial and courte
GUS manner has made many friends
and acquaintance as well as built
up substantial business in spite
of the fact that three large lumber
stocks were apparently In excess of
the demands of the town and terri
tory. Many will regret to have Mr..
Gretchen leave Holly.
