SCHOOLS DEVELOP
 STRONG INTEREST
RURAL CHURCH STUDIED
Dr. Ava w. Taylor Speaker at As sembly Tonight-More Students
 Enroll Daily.

Splendid interest has been develop ed in the schools for rural and urban pastors and Christian workers now in progress here, and the great num- Der enrolled is studying diligently the oprblems of the two classes of Chris tion service. At the rural school to- day at Hendrix, the program includ- ed lectures and class work by Dr. Oscar E. Goddard, Dr. H. N. Morse, Dr. Edwin L. Earp, Dr. Paul L. Vogt, Dr. Homer K. Ebright and others. Dean Bradford Knapp, who spoke at the public assembly last night, was forced to leave this morning, and his place as speaker at the noon forum was taken by Dr. Vogt. From all angles, the schools are reaching a de- cided success.
 Dr. Ava w. Taylor, commission on the rural church, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, will address the assembly at 8 o'clock tonight at the First Methodist church. Bishop Edwin Hughes of Boston, an- nounced as the speaker for Friday night, probably will not reach Con- way until Saturday morning. Defin- ite announcement in regard to the ser vice for Friday night will be made to- morrow
 The growing interest of the min- insters and laymen in the work of the schools is also being accompanied by an increased attendance. While def mate figures are not available today, it was said that late arrivals have entered both the urban and rural schools and the number will continue to be swelled.
 Dan Knapp and Dr. John Hugh Reynolds were the speakers at the first public assembly, held at the church last night. Dean Knapp re- presented the farm demonstration forces as one of the rural agencies closely allied with the church. He spoke of religious and agricultural development as going hand in hand. His lecture was instructive and was made highly entertaining by the stories which he told.
 In the courses of study given at the rural school, Dr. Goddard has Rural Evangelism" as his general subject. Dr. Earp has "The Rural Church Serving the Community" and Dr. James Seehorn Seneker, "The Rural Pastor and the Sunday School ' Dr. Morse presents "The Social Mes sage of the Rural Church." and Dr. Taylor Rural Church Methods and Programs. Dr. Vogt has as his speciality ''The Rural Church and Economic Welfare" and Rev. Clem Baker of Little Rock, Organization and Administration of the Rural Sun day School" In planning the pro- gram, the directors of the schools have made every effort to cover both the rural and urban fields of Christian work, and to have all presented by acknowledged leaders.

200 BOY SCOUTS GO
 TO YELLOWSTONE PARK
(By the Associated Pressl |

Clinton, Ia., June 9.-Two hundred boy scouts of this city are preparing for the time of their young lives as they will leave here on June 20, bound for the wilds of Yellowstone Park.
 The trip is unique in the annals of youthful entertainment. It is being conducted by 50 business and profes slonal men of this city who will be hosts to the youngsters.
 Nothing so prosaic as Pullman sleepers will be used and hotels will be decidedly taboo. The boys and their hosts, together with 25-piece band will travel in five automobiles while their sleeping equipment, com missary and such, will follow closely in five huge trucks.
 Camps will be made each night en- route, the entire party tenting in the open. The personnel of the hosts will include doctors, nurses, a moving pie ture outfit and wireless equipment
 The trip will consume more than a month of travel, starting on June 20 and ending July 26.

complete address cause loss of time
to distributors who could otherwis,
have been employed in handling
properly the fully addressed mail
thereby making possible in many in
stances to give an earlier delivery
We who constantly yell for greater
economy" and greater efficiency
in the public service may well
pause and ask ourselves whether 1t
wouldn't be good thing, a consis-
tent thing, if we took little more
care in making ECONOMY" and "ef-
ficiency" in the public service pos
sible.
Some of the more common mis-
takes, locally observed, in address,
ing. mail are noted as follows: Ad-
dresses are written hastily and il
legibly, often in lead pencil; pencil
addresses become obliterated in the
course of handling. Abreviations in
the names Of firms, post Offices, and
states are confusing and invite trou-
Bile: for instance, contemplate the
similarity in the authorizations of
"Pa" for Pennsylvania, LA" for
Louisiana, and "Ia" for Iowa; also
"CoP for Colorado, and "Cal" for
California. Unless all the letters in
these authorizations are written very
plainly, there is danger of mistakes.
Street addresses are often omitted
'(also the regional direction-NE;
Sc; NV; -SW., on city mail) and
obsolete mailing lists are the bane
of postal existence.
All things considered, it is really
wonder that the post office makes
as few mistakes as it does. When
one thinks of the 5000 misdirected
pieces of mail in Grand Rapids daily
and 100000 pieces in New York
and when one multiplies an aver
age figure by the number of post
offices in the country, it is neces-
sary to confess that the people do
not do their whole part in the mat
ter. of postal efficiency. If we are
going to throw stones, we mustn't
live in glass houses. We are all de-
handing of the Post Office Depart
ment that it turn over new leaf"
under its poppy new Washington
chief. Let US "turn over new
leaf" too.

FOR BETTER POSTAL SERVICE


vice in the Postal Department, Will
H. Hays, Postmaster General, has
sent out the following article, taker
from the, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Herald, of July %, 1921, in which
there are some splendid suggestions
concerning the enormous amount
of misdirected mail The article fol-
lows:
1t seems almost inconceivable; but
it is reported as an official fact, that
$50, 900 pieces Of misdirected mail
are handled daily at the New York
Post Office, which includes Man
haitian only. This means that 127,-
750, 900 misdirected pieces are han
died every year in this one metro
politan center. It requires no inn
agination to appreciate what this
means by way of hampering and
slowing down the Postal Service
Great armies of Postal clerks who
might otherwise be engaged in ia
cilitating the general service, are
thus tied down to the problem Of
rectifying the mistakes and supply
ing the omissions that are chargea-
BILE to careless correspondents. We
Americans sort of take our Postal
Service for granted. We kick like
steers when one letter out of mil
lion handled daily goes astray or is
delayed a few hours; yet we are so
neglectful of our own responsible
ties in this connection that we pile
thousands of pieces of misdirected
mail into the post office and expect
that the postal machinery can and
must in some way surmount our own
negligence.
The New York situation is merely
TYPICAL of the situation in every
other city of the land. Take Grand
Rapids, for example. Postmaster
Hogadone says that, as nearly. as can
be estimated, the local post office
handles 5000 pieces Of Unsolicited
mail every "a hours; and in addition
thereto, about 100000 pieces Of
mail are received without street adj
dresses. It requires the full time Of
five clerks here in Grand Rapids
alone to correct the addresses on
misdirected mail. The mail without

BAYOULABATRE 7 ASKS MONEY FOR
 DEEPER CHANNEL
Shrimpers and Freighters, With Valuable Cargoes, Fre- quentIy Suffer Loss as Re-
 suit of Shallow Waters

Mobile, January s.-(Special.) )-Re- ports on a preliminary survey of Bayou sra Batre will be completed during the Booming week and will be forwarded to the board of engineers at Washington by Maj. Earl North, United States en- gineer in chargs' of the rivers and harbors of this district.
 Those interested in the shrimp, oys- ter and fishing industries at that port ing made to obtain channel not less than six feet deep at mean low tide, and 100 feet wide, into the bayou from Mississippi sound, and the removal of two bars within the bayou which in terfere with navigation.
 Since the seafood industries at Bayou la Batre have grown to such great inn portance, heavy losses have been oc- casoned by delay of boats bringing the highly perishable raw products to the canneries and iE returning to the fishing grounds, owing to the shallow water in the bayou and at it's mouth. One schooner carrying cargo of canned fshrimp. valued at $27 900. was held up in the bayou for five days waiting for tide sufficiently high to permit her departure for Biloxi, whence the shrimp were shipped to Pacific coast points. Similar incidents are of frequent occurrence.
 -1s During the winter, when the tides %are extremely low with the northerly winds, the entire fleet of between 200 and 300 shrimpers, oyster boats and freighters is sometimes delayed for a day or more. waiting for sufficient wa ter to return to the fishing grounds. In such cases the total loss, in the value of time. runs into the thousands of dollars, and affects those engaged in all branches of work connected with the canning industry, besides reducing the annual output of the canneries.
 Efforts are being made to show that the deeping of this channel is some thing more than local matter; that ~the shrimp ans; other seafoods are shipped over the entire United States. and that the total output for these canneries on the gulf is not sufficient to meet the demand for these gulf products. Bayou Ia Batre also is shown to be the only safe haven for the fishing fleet in case of hurricane weather between Mobile and the Back bay of Biloxi. When similar effort was made to obtain a channel from bayou to sound in 1915-1916, Bayou la Batre had not attained importance as a canning port
