NATIONAL MAIL RECEPTACLE
AND HOUSE NUMBER CENSUS
DAY

The following order has been receiv-
ed by Postmaster Coffiand from the
Postoffice Department:
If expeditions and efficient city mail
delivery service is to be accorded it is
essential that all buildings to which
mail is delivered be properly numbered
and equipped with private mail re-
ceptacles. Without house numbers
carriers are delayed in serving routes
and errors in delivery unavoidably oc-
cur, especially when substitutes are on
duty This condition, coupled with the
lack of mail receptacles, inevitably
impairs efficiency and delays delivery,
with resultant public Inconvenience
and loss.
To correct this evil it has been de-
cided to conduct national campaign
with view to having every building
properly numbered and equipped with
suitable receptacle or opening in
the door.
AS a preliminary step, on October
| 10, 1921. the postmaster of every post
office having city or village delivery
service will require his carriers to re-
port the address of every dwelling and
place of business on their routes not
so numbered and equipped.
House numbers enable carriers to
locate buildings promptly, to which
mail is addressed, aEd avoid errors
and delays in delivery.
Mail receptacles insure the prompt
and safe delivery of mail in the alb
sence of the tenants. Avoid delay to
mail through return to Office because
of absence of occupants or delay in
answering carriers ring. Expedite
the service generally, and permit more
prompt deliveries. The practice of
placing mail in vestibules, under doors,
on window sills ETC., where it is ex-
posed to the elements, is hazardous
and frequently results in the loss Of
highly valuable or important mail.
All delinquent patrons should be re-
ported by the carrier, and the matter
should be followed up in cases where
either receptacle or a number has
not been provided.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

LaFarge boys and part, of the stu
dent body came over week age
Wednesday with the intention of an
easy game for them, but they went
home slightly disappointed. The score
stood to in our favor in the fourth
or fifth inning. Then the .aFargt
boys started in making 3 or scores
in one inning. 1t looked as if the
game would sure be lost, but all OF
a sudden the shrill notes of the band
which accompanied the crowd to the
fair grounds was heard, and with the
combination of this and the noise OF
the students, our boys began to run in
the scores also. The game went on
until the ninth inning with the La
Fargo boys still ahead, but in the
ninth one of our boys brought home
the score that tied them.
Darkness was gathering around
so the game was called at the end Of
the ninth. inning, the final score being
IL to IL.
We were wellrepresented at the
game which gave our players the nee.
essary support. The tie win be play
ed of some time in the near future
on the Viola diamond.
The snow storm Friday postponed
for US another ball game which was
to be held with Soldiers Grove. The
Grove team had arrived before the
storm, but when they saw the storm
coming they changed their course to-
ward home.
A delightful party was held in the
Commercial room of the High Schoo
last Friday evening by the Senior
class. Dancing aud refreshments be
ing the main feature of the evening.
On casting your eyes around tbs
main room Monday morning, It looked
like Army shirts and more of EN-"
A public auction was held in the
High School auditorium one day last
week dispOsing of some valuable ar.
ticles at low price. All those par.
tieipating in buying We're not sorry Of
their bargain The clerk was KEPT
busy recording and taking in the cash
while the auctioneer faithfully fulhllet

CROSS ; EYED REASONING
Some Degree Of Financial lnde-
pendence Is Necessary.
BY EDGAR TAYLOR wHEELocK.

ny ECoHh tHfLOh WHEEGONNs
Copyright, 1921. American Press League.)
Every man and woman In this
country should keep In mind, and ev-
cry child should be taught. the wis
dom of striving to attain some meas
ure of financial Independence.
1t Is lack of understanding Of this
necessity which inspires certain men
tally cross-eyed people 10 protest
against the cultivation of the thrift
spirit. Here is fair sample of their
peculiar philosophy:
automatically Sound; Economically
Rotten.
Most people don't realize that II every
body cut down their daily expenses even
one fifth 1t would require one nth less work
to supply their wants. In other words. they
would throw q few million people out of
work. Think It over and you have the key
to the present depression. People are thrift
mad. and. like other forms OF insanity. Il
viii take some time to run it's course"
The same individuals who counsel
us to spend our earnings freely In or
der that work may be provided for
others Will pub long faces whenever
attention is called to the unequal dis
trlhution of wealth.
What They Actually Propose.
In effect, their proposition Is that
Jones who earns $50 week, and may,
by practieing economy, support his
family on $25. must not save the extra
$40. He must pay more rent or spend
1t on choice cuts of meat. fancy gro
ceries, more and better clothing, mo-
vles. monographs with the latest jazz
records, etc.
Their understanding Is that Jones'
money will pass along from hand to
hand until Ii finds some wage Garner
who In turn, will start Ii ON another
Journey. Meanwhile all wage earners
praetlclng the principles of the free
spending philosophers will be dancing
on stuck wires above the rapids of
actual want.
What Jones Purposes Doing.
But il may be Jones purpose to
save his earnings until he can make
| the first payment ON a home. In that
way he viii be able to give employ
ment direct to men engaged In build
ing the home.
Second: lie may conclude to use
his savings TO establish himself in an
independent business or trade which
he understands. Ia that case he will
become an employer and pay wages Mt
| first hand.
| Third; He may invest his savings
lin the securities of firmly estab-
Hshed Industrial enterprise. In this
case. too. his savings viii furnish en-
ployment for wage earners,
| II more workers would follow Jones'
example there would soon be a more
equal distribution of wealth ard less
social unrest.

OCTOBER HUMANE THOUGHT
BY A. E. Frederick

By A. f. Frederick
"And God made the beast of the
EARTH. /. !. and God saw that it was
good" -Genesis.
As a rule, the valuable animal re-
ceives good care. Our annual fairs
illustrate this. 1t is a matter of finan-
cial gain, for neglect means loss. But
while the breeder of full-blood cattle.
hogs, horses, fowl, ETC., is particular
as to the feed and care of his animals,
the one who raises scrubs" is often
not so particular. He has not yet be-
gun to realize that despite a poorer
strain of blood, the care of his animals
is important, nevertheless.
Therefore it is that in out-of-the-
way places and in the poorer counties
we find animals improperly housed
and insufficientlv fed.
This thoul IT applies also to the
| care of old or diseased horses. AS
they are not valued highly, thep are,
therefore, neglected. Such owners for
get that any animal must be we'll fed
and cared for if it is to render service.
If it is well provided for it will render
financial returns. If it is not worth
feeding we'll and taking good care of
it is not worth keeping alive. II
should then be humanely disposed of
There is no greater cruelty than to
leave without sufficient feed or shell
! ter the animals which have served us
faithfully for many years.
The same reasoning is applicable to
the dog or to any other animal. The
| pedigreed dog is given care. Some
times money is lavished upon it I'M
necessarily. But the mongel. the 'un-
der-dog," is allowed to drift without
feed or shelter. Such dogs then of
ten become nuisance and arouse pub
| lie prejudice However, it is not the
fault of the animal. 1t is the fault Of
the owner who has neglected it.
I Let us realize that animals were
created of God for purpose and thu.
I they can fulfill their mission only il
/ properly cared for.
Let us be just to our animal life
+ Justice to animals is closely linked to
the spirit of kindness. We cannot be
/ just unless we are kind.

HIGH COST OF Stops
Fancy Prices Paid for Beverages
Unfit to Drink.
BY EDGAR TAYLOR wHEELocK

BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELocK.
Copyright. 1921. American Press League.)
A woman who conducts a bath es-
tablishment recently found one OF her
customers dead In a tub. The pa
tient had been there before as her
practical protest against the pro-
hibition law frequently resulted In Sc
rious consequences.
Not an Uncommon Incident
Naturally the good woman who ran
the establishment was panic stricken
until she was treasured by an officer
detailed on the case, who told her that
1t was one of the regular jobs of the
police 20 take dead people, victims Of
alcohol poisoning, out of bath estab-
lishments. This sort of thing hap
pens every week" he said.
Leaving out of consideration the
moral side of this situation, how about
the waste Of money incidental~to the
Illicit liquor traffle?
Beer at any price up to 80 cents;
common whisky at 81 drink; ginger
ale with a dash of alcohol In 1t at
10 cents; bootleg poison (the kind that
leads to death In a bathtub) any price
the peddler can get.
What Genuine Whisky Costs.
The average price for real whisky
legally purchased is IS pint, a
cheaper quality being sold at $3.50,
while seven-year-old whisky brings "a.
as rule. There is a pretense that
liquor sold on physicians prescrip-
lions Is used for medicinal pur-
poses, but the man who would bet that
more than 8 per cent so sold Is ac-
tually used for that purpose would
be a reckless gambler.
II would be foolish TO even hazard
guess as to the amount of money
annually wasted in this way, but the
profits In the business are attractive
enough to induce large army of
vlolators to take the risk of Jail SEN
fences In order to win the prizes held
OUT TO lawbreakers
Should Be Used to Build Homes.
One does not need 10 be statis-
teal sharp to know that If all the
money wasted in "the pursuit of hap
piness" through the medium of booze
and the mutitudinous varieties of
Stops known as home brew, NOON
shine, etc. were deposited in saving
banks and used as a foundation for
BODYBUILDING or income-earning
securities, there would be less eco
monte unrest In this country.
Three million new dwellings are
needed to restore the pre-war average
Of 10 families per 100 houses.
This phase of the subject is re-
spectfully referred to individuals and
communities that are now hostile or
Indifferent to law enforcement so far
as II applies to the liquor traffic.

exhibits being corn and stock. The
boys and girls club showing q fine
line of cattle. Hjalmar Thiege was
awarded grand championship for one
of his fine Guernsey animals. The
money taken by this department also
amounted tdsa large sum.
The pleasing manual training ex-
hibit of the schools attracted the high
est comment from fair visitors, and
the most tasty and high quality edu-
catiOnal exhibit behind it was certain
~ most creditsble. There was q look
of uniform high quality about it all
that was pleasing, and was we'll set
off by the presence of the silver cup
won by the corn Judging team.
The same could be truthfuily said
of the exhibit of the four grades of the
Model school in charge of Miss Gross.
A significant feature of this exhibit
was the Vernon county map with the
