Mr.. Hays, our new Postmaste-
General, is putting lot of pep into
the Postoffce Department. He is
getting out a new special delivery
stamp with the guy on II riding q
motorcycle instead OF bicycle.
He figures the rider can get more
speed this way and your letter will
be delivered quicker.
He Is going to save a lot Of time
by having you put yellow stamp
on a letter which is going to Japan
green one on a letter to Ireland,
and red one on an envelope ad-
dressed to Russia.
Not only this, but he Will have the
bnck Of the stamps gummed In dlf.
ferent fIavors, such as vanilla. choe.
olate and strawberry.
He is also going to change the
pictures on some of the stamps. He
discovered that Jack Dempsey has
been going around saying that he
licked Benjamin Franklin.
The recent Administration got out
some new 2-cent stamps with a. pi5-
ture OF the landing OF the Pilgrims
on it. This was TO signify that a
letter mailed at that time would be
delivered any day now.
Hays also intends to put q lot Of
life into the dead letter office.
He says just because an envelop.
has a tlack border around 1t, he
isn't going to send it to that de-
partment.
He also claims that his clerks will
not waste their time opening postal
cards to see il there is anything co.
closed in them.
The post cards will be delivered
inst rs fast rs the clerks can read
them.
II they can't get them all read
during the day, some of the clerks
have agreed to take them home with
them at night.

A
Sport
Editorial

Georges Carpenter returns to
America in the role Of a friendly
enemy. He is seeking a trophy Of
physical prowess that has been held
by Americans for some years. He
is after the title Of heavyweight
champion Of the world
There is nothing peculiarly Amer
lean about this title. Within the
past twenty years it has been held
by two men born under the Eng
lish flag, Fitzsimmons and Burns;
by an Ohioan, a Californian, q Tex
as-born negro, a Kansan and q Col
oradan.
II the title is to leave these shores,
some Americans would prefer seeing
it 90 to France than to any other
country. They have a very friendly
feeling for France, and for Carpen-
tier, the Frenchman, who comes, a
sort Of young Argonaut of Fistiania,
seeking the golden fleece Of pu9ilis-
tic glory.
However, the average American
doubts that Carpenters quest will
be rewarded by success. A, frail
looking chap, with nothing notable
in his record in the way Of accom-
plishment beyond withdrawals
against ordinary American fighters,
or victories and defeats on fouls,
the Frenchman is meeting a rug
ged, tough opponent.
The Dempsey Carpenter match
has been called "the battle Of the
century" 1t may turn out to be
that, and then again it may prove
to be one Of the greatest imposi-
tions on the public in many years.
Bill Squires, an Australian, once
came to America almost as widely
heralded as Carpenter. One of the
greatest fistic authorities in this
country picked him to beat Tommy
Burns for the championship. The
fight" was the joke Of ring history,
Squires falling in a brief furry.
1t is to be hoped that the Demp-
sey- Carpenter affair will have no
such unfortunate termination. Car
pentier has been carefully "built up"
on little foundation of form, as
shown in the ring, but he may be
the surprise of all time.
In any event he is welcome to
America, and entitled to every cour-
tesy that can be shown him, not par
ticularly as a fighter. but a. . citi-

MARKET QUOTATIONS INCREASE
INCOME OF LOUISIANA FARMERS

A few years ago it was the practice
70 ship most of the strawberries from
the Hamburg, La. district to Chica-
go. That was before every shipper
knew the daily distribution of ship
ments. To-day Louisiana strawberries
are marketed in upward Of 90 large
cities from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Several carloads are also sent to Can
ada every season.
This increased distribution is attrib-
uted by growers to the service render
ed by the field station of the Bureau
of Markets, United States Department
OF Agriculture, at Hammond, La. Here
reports of general market conditions
and prices at important strawberry
shipping and consuming centers and of
car-lot movement everywhere in the
United States are published daily.
Weather conditions at shipping and
market points are also reported upon,
a service Of great value in shipping
highly perishable products.
Despite the fact that IS to 90 per
cent Of the Louisiana strawberry grow
ers are Italians or other foreigners, a
considerable number of whom speak nc
English, they have been quick to APP
preciate that TO KNOW THE MAR
KETS" is A PRIME REQUISITE
IN MARKETING FARM CROPS
: Keeping in close daily touch with
national marketing conditions they
know precisely when and where CON.
petition is to be met, the quantities Of
berries in the markets and rolling tc
market, and the markets offering high
est prices. Not only has wider distrib
ution resulted but the growers are real
izing very satisfactory returns for thei
fruit.

men who remain at their bencheh, re-
ceiving smaller pay, whether conscious
y or no, exert less effort than before
Many men, unwilling to submit to a
decrease in their pay, organize a strike,
and all profits in the industry cease
when the wheels stop, though expenses
continue to run on. In other indus
tries, employers combine to lock out
their men, Or to lay them off, in the
hope that they can break their spirit
and their organizations, and thus sue
coed in cutting wages. In the process
CT destroying the willingness of the
worker, in locking him out and in fore
ing strikes, industry again slackens;
demand is still further decreased, and
we go back to the inevitable reduc-
ton of prices, then further reduction
of wages, and so on, ad infinitum. We
are descending vicious spiral.
All of this results from the existence
of large class who demand income
from property and investment alone.
No organization of society can endure
which makes it possible for people to
have the good things without paying
for them with service. An economic
system built upon gambling and exploit
taton can not exist peacefully.
But it is useless to point out the fal-
lacv of wage reductions. A famous.
king of France who was increasing
| the burdens of his people until they
were well-nigh uncomfortable. was warn
ed that he was making the destruction
of his system inevitable. He replied:
after me, the deluge." Our profit
GERS to-day are just as indifferent Of
the ultimate outcome, which their
greed is fastening day by day.

THE FALLACY OF
WAGE REDUCTIONS

Employers all over the country are
drastically reducing wages. A gener-
al reduction of 22Iz per cent was
made in the wooden mills; a $3.50 re-
ductlon in wages of steamfitters, paint
ers, electricians, and in scores of other
trades. Not content with the fat per-
centage of profit attained during the
war, manufacturers are attempting to
increase profits by reducing wages.
They see the problem is a very simple
one; reduce wages and the cost of pro-
ducton is reduced; reduce prices lust
enough for advertising purposes, but
keep a safe margin and all is we'll.
They overlook some important factors
which complicate the problem.
They forget the elementary fact that
those who make products also consume
them. And every cut in the pay of the
workers means a corresponding de-
crease in their purchasing power. La
Dor makes shoes; it also uses them.
II the workers in the shoe factories re-
ceive less pay. they can buy fewer
shoes. But, says the shoe manufac-
turer, we can afford to lose custom
| ers among our employees, if the general
demand remains the same" But the
general demand cannot remain the
same, for wage-cutting is now being
applied in almost every industry, from
one end of the country to the other
The prevailing decrease of $50 or
more in wages means simply that much
inability 10 buy what is made. And
slackening in demand inevitably brings
about sIackening in production, which
means that fewer goods are sold, and
in the long run, less profit made.
Slackening of consumption means I'M
employment. The same dispatches
which inform us of wage reductions
state that the mills are only operating
| on half-time. As we write this, it is
estimated by Labor" the official Or
gan of the Railroad Brotherhoods. that
there are 2,325,000 unemployed in the
country. These figures include 30O,-
600 workers in the building trades,
100000 automobile workers. 225.0O0
in the textile trades, 10000 in the
clothing industry, etc. These figures
do not take into account the workers
in the clothing industry who are lock-
ed out. Unemployment means lesser
consumption and a further decrease in
production.
As a result of the decrease in de-
mand for goods, prices are reduced.
Business men all over the country com
plain bitterly that people do not buy, -
but they are still further reducing the
buying power of labor by cutting wag.
es. The greedy manufacturer who
tries to increase his yearly profit sue.
ceeds for brief period in increasing
his percentage of profit by cutting
wages; he soon finds less demand fol
his goods; he has to cut his prices tc
keep going, and then he finds himself
back in the same place he started from
except for the loss and disIocation o
industry in the meanwhile.
A this is not a slight matter. Force,
have to be reduced. and in the labo

BRAHMAN CATTLE FOR
THE GULF COAST

A Brahma bull has been purchased
for the Iberia Live Stock Experiment
Farm which is conducted by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
at Jeanerette. La. There is a general
belief among some cattlemen in GER
tain sections of the southern coastal
regions of the United States that the
progeny of grade Brahma bulls of de-
sirable type have certain outstanding
merits that make the use Of these bulls
on native and grade cows preferable
to the use of sires of better-known
beef breeds.
Several points favcring Brahmans
are claimed by the producers. Among
the more important ones it is claimed
that Brahman cattle withstand the in
sect pests and diseases prevalent in the
low and damp areas and that they
withstand heat during the summer sea-
son better than the recognized beef
breeds. 1t is also claimed that fewer
bulls per hundred cows is necessary
where Brahman bulls are used, and the
basis for this statements is attributed
to the vigor and vitality of Brahman
bulls.
The work at present is to compare
the merits Of pure-bred bull of beei
breed and Brahman bull as sires fC
a herd of grade beef cows in this sec,
ton. Results so far have not been con.
elusive.
