POODLE IS MAILS GUARDIAN
Small Kansas City Dog Dirty and Shaggy, but as Faithful as
 They Make Them.

He is just little shaggy poodle, and as black as coal dust and smoke can make him, but he is very devoted to his self-imposed duties. He may be seen each morning waiting at the rear door of Post office Station C, 3021 In. dependence avenue.
 He draws no salary from the post office department, but is as regular in his attention to his task as though lie were receiving the top wage.
 Someone is always at the door to admit him. Then. after a casual in- spection of the office, he hunts up his chosen friend, Ed Easton, carrier 109, and commences his daily duties as guardian and friend.
 He waits at each stop for Ed to un- load his mail and accompany him back to the station, staying till Easton goes to lunch. Then he will trot of to his own home for rest, and at one o'clock may be seen on duty once more.
 Even Sunday mornings, when his friend does not come to the office, ht will run up to the door, wait patientl! till he Is tired, and then will disappeal and not be seen any more till Monda. at the usual hour.-kansas Cit! Times

GUARDS MEN HOLD
 MEETING AT 7::3O

Headquarters company of the Ar kansas National Guard is called to meet at the armory, the building on East Oak street formerly occupied by the Simpson Douglass Machinery Company, tonight at 730 o'clock, for the purpose of ordering uniforms and making requisition for other supplies. Capt. G. s. McHenry, commander of the company, said that all members would be measured for uniforms and requisition made for what supplies needed in training. The building on East Oak street will be occupied as the company's armory, arrangements to that effect having been completed.
 A few more recruits can be accepted by the company, Captain McHenry said. Guard service in the headquar- ters company, he said, offers fine opportunity for physical and in some cases, vocational training, as well as providing excellent pay for the amount of time required.

ECONOMY MEASURES
 BY WAR DEPARTMENT
tBy United Pressl

Washington, April 25.-In line with the policy of rigid economy laid down by congress, the axe has been swing ing m the quartermas corps of the army since January l last with more 1han usual diligence, and it was an- Aounced today at the quartermaster generals office that nearly S3,000, 900 m salaries will have been saved to the fax payers by June 30, or at the rate of about s6,000,000 a year.
 For the first three months of this year, 5,556 civilian employees have been separated from the quartermas Ser corps, and the approximate amount of savings in salaries up to June 30 will S2,778,000. In addition, ALAG em- pfoyees have been denoted in the diff ferent corps areas and depots, with a saving of Sl4S, ,S23.90.
 Since February, 1919, more than 30,O00 civilians have been discharged by the quartermasters corps, and this Aranch of the army is on a new peace time footing The 499 different kinds of civilian positions in the corps are to be consolidated into 125, and the same job will no longer have two or more different names. None of these wholesale reductions will in any way Impair the efficiency of the supply service of the army.

CALLS FOR STEADY NERVE
Duty Devolving on Cook for East African Monarch Can Not B.
 Called . Sinecure.

The Rev. John Roscoe, rector of Ovington Norfolk. kept members of the Royal society wondering for more than an hour while he lectured on his journey through East Africa, where he went on tour of investigation on behalf of the government and the Royal society.
 King George was amused by the travellers description of the royal sery- ants at Bunyoro, one of the places Mir. Roscoe visited. He described their duties in his lecture in London.
 The kings chief cook has a very trying job," said Mir. Roscoe. "The custom is that every morning he brings to the king a pot of specially prepared meat, with which he must walk all around the royal enclosure. With his face whitened he enters the presence, and in dead silence throughout the court, which may no, be broken by coughing or sneezing on pain of instant death, the chief cook puts a piece of meat at the end of 8 fork into the kings mouth.
 He does this four times, but If by chance or nervousness he touches the kings teeth with the metal fork he dies instantly.
 These servants find the ordeal SC trying that they can only carry 1t out for few days. after which they are sent away for a six weeks holiday That is all the meat the king Is sup posed to have in a day and for the rest he lives on milk."-London Daily Mail

The Story of
 Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XX.-MISSISSIPPI @Ez@a TIE q, nissis: s5ats HAA&@ sippi derives 9 ~ sN its name from K AlV NE the river AN&2EA which forms N AN it's western ~ oundary. The word itself comes from the Algonquin mlssi-sepe which means great river" It is popu- lariy supposed to mean Father of the Waters" but this interpre- tatton is incorrect. The state is also known as the Bayou State from the many bayous which are formed by the shifting river. In this connection It is interesting to note the uneven course of the Mississippi river. Though the extreme length of the state from the Gulf to Tennessee is 330 miles, the western border, due to the winding of the Mississippi river, extends for nearly 500 miles.
 The rivers play an important part in this state. They are so numerous and the country so subject to flood that the river bottoms cover nearly one fifth of the area of the entire state. The early history of Missis. dppi is yoked up with that of Louisiana of which 1t originally formed a part. Discovered by De Soto in 1539, 1t was not until 1a Sale sailed down the river and claimed this territory, which he named in honor of his French king. Louis XIV, that a perma- nent settlement was established. In 1763 the territory east of the Mississippi was ceded by the Wrench to the English. For a while the lower portion of the present state was called West Florida. After being captured by the Spanish and later re- turned to the United States, the Territory of Mississippi was ex- tended to its present size of 46.- 665 square miles and in 1877 it was admitted as the twentieth state of the Union. At the time of the Mexican war, although called upon tc supply one regi- ment of volunteers, Mississippi responded with enough men for two. One of these regiments vas commanded by Jefferson Davis, who later was the presI- dent of the Confederate states. Since Its readmittance to the Un- ion in 1870 Mississippi in na- tfonal elections has been Demo- erxtic state except in 1872, when R voted for Grant.
