prosnects for Mail serviee Poor

Prospects for Mail Service Poor
 JEROME-Just haw the discontin. uance of service over the United verde & Pacific railroad will affect Jerome's mail service. Postmaster R. H. Cum ningham is not yet able to forecast with accuracy.
 At present the daily mail arrives in Jerome shortly after o'clock and by 7:30 o'clock at the latest, 1t is all distributed. When the mail comes by way of Clarkdale it cannot reach here before 7:30 o'clock and there is no assurance that it will not be much later.
 There is some talk of putting on new train over the Cedar Glade line which will reach Jerome at [: 30 o'clock. If this is done the postmaster promises that the mail will be distributed as soon as possible after its arrival. The railroad company, however, has given no assurance that the new train will be instituted.
 The postmaster has every confidence that when the Jerome Prescott short line highway is open the government will let contract for the hauling of the Verde districts mail from the county seat by motor truck.-Verde Copper News.
 Hard Boiled Police Attitude
 MORALES Tucson motorists, caught in Nogales without enough gas oline to carry them back home, will be out of luck. according to Police Chief J. J. Lowe, who declares their chance of getting a permit to buy supply will be equal to that celluloid dog would have in catching an asbestos cat in d race through the lower regions.
 The reason for Chief Loves appar- ently hard boiled attitude is, he said today, that Tucson nabbed two tanks of gasoline consigned to Nogales in order to relieve her own shortage of the joy-riding fluid.
 This action, the chief, denounces as reprehensible and unneighborly in the extreme.-Nogales Herald.
 Soldiers Get Checks Cut
 PRESCOTT-Ex- soldiers who have been classed as totally disabled are complaining of having their compen- sation checks cut down without any reason being assigned, or notice given of the rules governing the change.
 Several veterans suffering from pulmonary trouble, due to being gassed or from tuberculosis, and who have come to Prescott to get the bene- fit of this climate, have suffered re- auctions. One ex-soldier who was drawing $50 a month for total disabil- ity, and who was so adjudged last month at the United States Public Health Service hospital here, received only $11.15 in his February check and s66 for March. Where he had expectedY to have $l6O to live on during those
 
 It is expected that the American Legion of this city will institute an inquiry into the practice of the Blu reau of War Risk Insurance as to the cause of these reductions and the au- thority or warrant of law therefore, Journal-Miner.
