AIR SERVICE MAY
INCREASE RATES
SYSTEM MUST BE MADE SELF
SUPPORTING SAYS HEADS OF
POSTAL Department
Star Route Service to be Organized
on Basis That Will Give Sufficient
Revenue to Maintain
Present Standard

WashingtOn.-Air mail service in the
United States, If conducted in the flu.
ture on contract basis similar to the
Star Route service, will have to be
organized on basis that will make
the service self-supporting. This means
beyond doubt that sufficient addition
al postage will have to be charged for
air service to enable the contractors
to more than break even. The govern
ment air mail service at travelling rates
has not been remunerative.
These facts were agreed upon at
conference Saturday between Chair
man Stevenson Of the house postoffice
committee and representatives Of the
postmaster general designated to aid in
drafting bill which will place the
air mail service on contract basis
Chairman STEVENSON said he was con-
vinced congress will not continue to
appropriate money to maintain the air
mail service on it's present expense
basis. In fact he expressed doubt
whether the service could be made sup
porting under government operation,
and he has the support of Postmaster
General Hays. Detailsiof the new bill
are not yet decided what routes will
be established under the bill.
If it becomes law, the probabilities
are, however, that transcontinental air
service will be provided for over the
route now traversed by government
fiiers, but that the service will be so
recognized that letters will go the
entire route by air and will pay high
er rate Of postage than at present.
The original transcontinental air SER
vice travel operated to expedite the
transportation of mails across the con-
tinent and to postoffices along the
route, but it did not accomplish what
is most desired, quick delivery Of first
class mail entirely by airplane from
points or origin in the east to San
Francisco, Salt Lake, Cheyenne and
intermediate points.
Mr.. Stevenson belives that business
men who can get letters across the
continent by air in two to three days
will be willing to pay reasonable post
age rate on such mail, but contract
carriers, in addition to carrying the
mails, must ii lis judgment, be per- 4
mitted to carry express packages and
passengers where their planes are prop
erly equipped. Further conferences
are to be held next week to perfect
the bill which Mr.. Stevenson is to
introduce.

Fish Leave Home

Rochester.-Men and boys fishing in
the Zumbro river, about two miles
north Of here, were startled Thursday
when hundreds Of cropies, suckers and
sun fish suddenly leaped high out Of
the water, and landed on the banks.
At one farm four men worked an hour
tossing fish back into the water. Many
Of the fish died before they could be
thrown back. The belief was express
ed that poisonous substance poured
into the river through Rochesters
sewers was responsible. !.

A BACHELORS PRAYER

Backward, turn backward, o Time
in your flight.
Give us maiden with skirts not 81
tight;
Give us a girl whose charms, many
or few,
Are not so exposed by much peek-a'
boo;
Give us a maiden no matter what
age, wye '@
Who won't use the street for a
vaudeville stage;
Give us a girl not so sharply in view;
Dress her in skirts that the sun won't
shine thru.
Then give us the dances of days long
gone by;
With plenty of clothes and steps not
SO high;
Dust turkey-trot capers and butter
milk glides,
The hurdy-gurd twist and the
wiggle-tail slide;
Then let us feast our tired optics
once more
On a genuine woman as sweet as of
yOre,
Yes, Time, please turn backward and
grant our request
For Gods richest blessing-but not
one undressed.

BARRE'S DOLLAR DAY.

Whatever may have been the put-
chasing power of the dollar during the
|1ast few years, it is certain that the
dollar will have greatly enhanced
capacity for securing returns next
"wednesday, Sept. 81, when Barre mer-
chants, under the direction of tae
Board of Trade, will put on Dollar
day reception to the purchasing pub
|lic of Barre and surrounding terri
|tory. A dollar will go much further
next Wednesday than it has gone Tor
Ii long time. The advertisements,
(which the merchants of Barre have put
|out, indicate that the public in need
| of any of the commodities mentioned
cannot expect to secure better prices Tor
many years to come, if ever, in regu-
| lar transaction; and hence it will be
| to the advantage of the public to meet
1he temporary slashes, which the mer-
chants are making. In the present
condition of the ready money mar
ket. we do not advise our readers to
Indulge in overlooking of themselves
with products just because the prod
ucts can be temporarily secured at
reduced price, but we do recommend
that where articles are at present
needed or likely to be needed in the
immediate future they should he
bought now and here in Barre. The
uuality of the goods will not be un-
der suspicion as the goods offered for
sale are the regular lines carried by
the stores and are not goods brought
in for special cut price sale; and
shoppers know that Barre stores as a
whole carry good class of commod-
ities. People in surrounding towns,
who have never made a practice OF
trading in Barre, will without doubt
find it advantageous to visit Barre
stores during the ne-day bargain sale
on Wednesday In joining this Dol
lar day" celebration Barre merchants
arc extending unusual opportunities.

ST. Adams has found a temporary
city manager, under its new form OF
government, among its own citizens,
to replace the man from away, who
recently resigned in more or less dls-
gust. The outsider got out OF mar
mony with the remainder of the city
government and resigned rather than
continue an unsatisfactory arrange
ment. The resident will have the ad-
vantage of having fairly good work
ing knowledge of local conditions and
will, in addition, be better equipped
by acquaintance to size up the people
he must come in contact with IN the
conduct of his official duties. Possibly
ahe new appointee may measure up
somewhat near the standard desired.
