The Government Profits by Carelessness

r HERE is one source of revenue to
i the government of which but few
persons are aware-that proceeding
from the large number Of stamps that
are wasted by the people.
There are two ways in which the
government profits by the Carelessness
and ignorance Of the public. In the
first place many Stamps are destroyed.
This means a profit TO the Post Office
department of many thousands of dol
lars n year; how much cannot be esti-
mated. for there is no means of get
ting figures, except by elaborate and
untrustworthy calculation. \ person
carries stamps in his pockets until they
are so worn that he does not dare
use them. In point of fact, anything
that looks like a good stamp, no mat
ter if it is somewhat mutilated, is
passed by the clerks. just as diIapi-
dated bank note Is good If there is
enough of 1t to show what it is. Wear
and dirt cannot. without almost de
stroying the stamp. give 1t the look of
persons will put damaged stamp on
letter. Besides, many stamps are
lost or destroyed entirely and the gov
ernment makes clear gain.
The other source of loss. to the in
dividual by which the government
profits Is the number of stamps that
are wasted in excess postage. People

Planned New
War on Britain

Chancellor Won Bcthmann-Hollweg and
following the adoption OF the peace
resolution in July. 1917.
Compromise" Means Take AL"
He says the emperor became entEu-
siastic over the phrase peace or
compromise" which he assumed was
what the reichstug majority demanded.
Excellent word - Compromise
William stated. TT means that we
take the money. raw products, cot
ton, oil and ores out of the pockets
Of our enemies and transfer them TO
our own"
The parliamentary leaders, Herr
ErZhcrger continues, were aStOniShcd
by this unexpected display of imperial
mentality and felt that they We're be-
ing made the victims of his mockery.
The emperor's further remarks were
in the same channel he declares.
William asserted that the United
States and Great Britain had entered
into an alliance for the purpose of
reckoning with Japan after the war.
He was also reliably Informed that
Russia would join Japan in warding
off the Anglo-SaXon blow. He admit
ted that Great Britain would not
emerge from the war defeated. but
said the final accounting would come
when he led his continental armies
against her in "the second Punlc war"
Promised French Entente.
The amaZement of the parliamenta-
rians grew as the kaiser continued,
Herr Erzberger reports. The mon
arch asserted that "a complete under
standing would be reached with
France when the war was over"
referring to Il battle in Galicia
which occurred only few days pre-
vous. the kaiser claimed that the
PruSsian guard under the command
Of his son Fritz had "brushed the
democratic dust off the vests of the
Russians"
Wherever the guards appear there
is no longer any democracy left" he
exclaimed.
The Roumanians got their just des-
serts, the war lord told Herr Err.
berger when the latter suggested that
the poor Roumanians had probably
lost everything but their shirts.
Herr ErZberger adds that the whole
meeting between the kaiser and the
parliamentary leaders was not only n
grave misfortune, but 1t proved "the
deepest cut with the spade that ulti-
mately resulted in the overthrow of
the prevailing regime"
He concludes the chapter with the
statement that the reichstag veterans,
who up to that time were opposed to
the parliamentary system, that very
night openly avowed that the old sys-
ten would inevitably plunge Germany
into disaster.

Motors Speed Up Farm Work and Cut Cost

farm work. 1t extended productive eff
fort
Each truck displaced on nm aver
age l.2 head of work stock and saved
an average of $lG3 worth of hired
help.
"Thcsc trucks averaged 2,777 miles
year at cost of 1G5 to II cents per
mile, making the total annual opera
tion cost from SiG0 to $40. This in.
cludes depreciation on the basis that
the average life of truck is six and
one-half years, the largest single item
of expenses"
AS 1t costs about 5000 n year to keen
a horse in the corn belt, the saving
from displaced stock was $40; from
reduced help $lG3. cuts the average
expense TO $50 or $40. To offset this,
custom hauling amounted to $50 II year
each for all the S3l farms, leaving the
net expense between SO anu $50.
More than one-half Of these farmers
have not reduced their work stock
since buying trucks. and do all the
hauling in the fields and around the
buildings by horses and wagons. Abou,
one-fourth have disposed of one or two
mead and 20 per cent have reduced
their stock two head. the average for

wished to move from one ear to an

opened when the train was at Il stand

the train ran in darkness, and ut each
divisional point, when engines were

As an additional precaution the train
