We are Indebted to Postmaste
DeLaMare for report of some in
teresting remarks by Postmaster
/ General Hays on postal policies:
Men forget that it is fact tn.
United States Postal Service is the
largest distinct business in the
world; that we have 100000 EN-.
ployes Immediately connected with
the operation; with 1000, 000
customers. The annual turnover OF
the business in the Post Office De-
partment amounts to nearly $4,000
100000, with an expenditure of
100000. We ahve the largest
express company in the world, han
ding over two billion packages last
year. ."
n HlifllOu seven nunufeQ tDOu-
sand letters are handled every hour
by the Post Office Department. Ev-
cry time you buy a postage stamp
you are part of a total of four.
teen billion annually. Theer are L.
125, 100000 postal cards sold every
year and 100000 stamped enve-
lopes; debts to the amount of one
billion five hundred million are sat
isfied each year through the sale of
| so, 900, 900 money orders. The
earth could be encircled ten times
with the two rails on which the mail
s carried in the United States
There are nineteen million undelig-
'rable letters handled annually by
he Division of Dead Letters, owing
o the neglect ofthe public in address
ing mail. ."

And that would be too many,
Perhaps Tolstoi was right when he
suggested that large estate does
not increase the possessor's happi-
ness. The abundance of land that
you actually own may not add To
your hilarity, but how about the
abundance of forest land within ca
sy walking or riding distance OF
your home? Large areas must be
kept as national forests and nation
al parks if the recreational inter
ests OF our nation are to be kept
clean and wholesome.
1t is not too late for the west TO
solve this problem, and to solve il
right. Commercial interests should
not be permitted to encroach upon
our forest reserves, or to pol ute
our brooks and rivers. In many
eastern rivers. the fish have been
killed by chemicals from various
mills and factories and mines. IN
less steps are taken TO prevent il.
the same thing will happen in the
west Commercial interests share
the common human trait of greedi-
ness and will makea few dollars at
the expense of unborn generations
If permitted to do so.
Outdoor recreation will be more
important in the future than now.
Improved machinery and more eff
cient management of industry will
give everyone leisure for life in the
open. Boys and girls will be edu-

Gated how to spend time profitably
in mountains and forests. Good
roads and trails will make access
to all places possible, and the almost
forgotten art of woodcraft will
again come into its own. Perhaps
the boys and girls will be taught
the art of walking as 1t was known
by such men as Thoreau and John
Burroughs.
For outdoor recreation on such a
Wholesale and systematic plan, we
will need a great deal more land Tin
forest reserves and national parks)
than most OF the politicians will
admit. Here is a hint: It's lot
easier for Uncle Sam to keep the
land while he's got it than 1t will be
for him to get it back after he's
given it away.

HOW MUCH LAND
DOES A MAN REQUIRE?"

If you like thickly populated
country, the United States is the
land for you, for few countries are
more thickly populated than Rhode
Island and Massachusetts. Again, IL
you want lots of elbow room. by all
means remain in the United States,
for the census of no other country
on earth shows so many acres per
inhabitant as Nevada offers.
If you like company. you can go
to Rhode Island and get acquainted
with 566 people to every square
mile-on the average. But if you
prefer to be monarch of all you sur
vey, go to Nevada, where you will
find only seven-tenths of one indi-
vidual on each square mile-on the
average. If that (seven-tenhhs to
the square mile) is too many peopls
TO suit you, then for goodness sake
go to Alaska, and there you will see
only one man to every ten square
miles of that large and wonderful
country.
Idaho would have a population of
47,211,705 If she were as densely
populated as Rhode Island. But, in
stead of having 1864 peope to the
square mile, we actually have only |

FEAR TO VENTURE IN SEA
Bathera In Pacific Island Waters,
Among Other Things, Dread the
Lurking Devil-Fish.

Terrors attending sea bathing at Ia.
hiti, already numerous, have been in
creased by reports that giant devil
fish was seen recently lowering around
the island, says Papeete dispatch.
First reports were received when
natives came into this port with tale
of having been attacked by a giant
octopus about two miles east of here.
Their story was not given much Gre
dence until sailors aboard the bark
Roy Summers, which arrived few
days later, told of sighting near here
a huge fish of the sguid type.
AS result few persons are ventur-
ing into the sea. Besides the devil
fish there is the ever-present shark
and wicked fish called the nohu.
which buries itself In the sand just
off the shore and gives poisonous
sting to bathers unfortunate enough
to step on it. Then, too, there Is a
certain kind of coral. which causes
blood poison If it cuts the skin.
