Postmaster Gives Hints to Public
on Handling Mail.


Postmaster L. ]. Hall said yesterday
that the local postoffice was continually
having trouble in handling some of the
mail that comes through that office be-
cause Of the negligence or ignorance Of
the public.
4 would like to emphasize the import
ance Of putting the street number on the
mail address" said Mr.. Hall. This is
especially important in sending mail TO
people who are only temporary residents.
'It should not be necessary to remind
the writing public that return addresses
on the envelopes result in prompt return
of the letters in case of their being un-
deliverable, and that a special delivery
stamp does not insure safety. also
would like to urge all business firms in
Columbia TO have street addresses on
letter heads and envelopes.
"The dispatch Of mail from Columbia
would be facilitated If letters were de-
posted frequently during the day, and
not held until the close of business. On
many days the volume Of mail deposited
after p. m. is so great that it is i'm
possible for the office force, working in
an 8-in-l0 hour schedule, to dispatch all
of ii on that day.
Valuable matter should be registered,
he continued. Postal money orders
should always be used instead Of coin
for remittance by mail. Coin should
never be sent by mail unless fitted into
card as thick as the coin"

LEGISLATORS
Senator Harris and Representa-.
tive Rollins Managed Well
During Recent Leg
islature.
HELPED APPROPRIATION
For First Time in History Uni
versity Fund Passed
Without A Dis
senting Vote.

BY SfaU CoUeap0ndenf.
II is not always the legislator who in
PRODUCES the most bills, and makes the
most speeches that serves his constituency
to the best advantage. One representa-
tive from St. Louis was the author of
fifty-nine bills and as result became the
laughing stock Of the House. In many
cases il is work which does not show on
the surface. that counts for much in the
long run. II is for service such as this
that the Senator from Boone County.
Frank Harris, and the representative
from Boone County, Sidney Rollins, de-
serve credit.
The writer has been in close touch
with both men during the session Of the
Legislature just finished and has watch
ed them working day alter day for the
best interests of Boone County and the
University Of Missouri. A large share
of the credit for the S2.65l 900 appropria-
iion for the University, the largest the
institution has ever had, should go to
Senator Harris and Representative Rol-
Inns. Il was through their untiring ef-
forts that the way was smOothed and the
appropriation went over with out a dis
senting vote, for the first time in the
history Of Missouri's law making body.
II was through Senator Harris that the
LaFavor Bill, which would have tied up
the fees Of the University and stopped
the work in the laboratories, was killed
in the committee to which il was refer
red. With the aid Of Mr.. Rollins in the
House. Senator Harris secured the pas
sage Of the bill which will greatly add
to the collection in the library of the
School of Law by exchanges with the
various states of the union.
In the upper branch Of the Assembly,
the Senator from Boone County was re
garded as one of the foremost leaders
of the minority and an authority on con-
stitutional law.
Although it was his first experience in
the Legislature, by keeping silent on the
floor and enlisting the aid of many
friends. Sidney Rollins was able TO Sc
cure the defeat of bill which. if passed.
would have taken a large sum Of. money
from the College of Agriculture. The
measure provided for the establishment
of a special experiment station at Lin
coin University and the division of the
Federal aid money, amounting to $780,
600 between the College Of Agriculture
and that institution.
Talking to the writer today, Mr.. Rol-
Inns said that on the whole the Fifty
first General Assembly had passed a
number of progressive measures which
should greatly benefit the state. OF all
the most important measures passed, he
thought, the County Unit and Secured
Debt laws should be placed at the top.
Senator Harris expressed similar opin-
ions.

When the natives attack was turned

tOnished To find the field covered with
babies who had been thrown away In
the flight. The camp humorist, finding
that there was great variety Of
