Can TALK 70 UNCLE SAM
Postoffice Is to Have Telephone For
public's Convenience

Acting Postmaster Shearer has
after much effort secured permission
to install a telephone In the postOffice
for the convenience of the public. The
postOffice has had phone but no
number and only for the employees.
Now 1t is to be an open phonetic
number Is S79-and the public may
call the office on business connected
with the Office. ''Thls Is not to be
abused" explained Mr.. Shearer, land
its continuance will depend on how
intelligently the public uses 1t. The
employees cannot, for instance, read
postal cards to patrons Of the office,
but we shall try to give any informa-
ton permissible. The phone Is In
intended for business purposes only.
II used otherwise it will require too
much Of the employees time to care
for the calls"
The idea also is that patrons
should not, except In some emergency
like illness, ask IL there is mail for the
individual calling Delivered mail Is
in the hands OF carriers and the Office
force cannot without much difficulty
in finding the carrier, who may be
absent, locate It, The public should
use Judgment and then the phone
service will be Of much value and a
real improvement that will be appre-
ciated.
Mr.. Shearer has also applied for
permission to place telephone In the
lobby for use Of the public which will
be a great accommodation in many
instances.
Plans for caring for the Christmas !
package rush are going ahead and the
office will as last year have special
force on duty. Last year every pack
age was out Of the office Christmas
morning which was fine record.
Careful wrapping and marking of

DEATH AT STREET CROSSINGS
Motor Accidents Take Heavy Toll
From Pedestrians


Most persons remember, or have
heard Of the IroQuois theatre ire In
Chicago. 1t shocked the world. Five
hundred and eightytwo persons lost
their lives. AS a consequence req
lights marking exits have been
placed in every theatre, the world
over, and in nearly every public as
sembly hall. And these are only o
part of numerous safety provisions
which now must be met by the own
er of every public hall before Ii can
be opened to the public.
The horrors of the Iroquois theatre
fire did that for the American people
and caused theatres and public halle
everywhere to be better protected
against fires and panics. Five hun

the same total Of dead as the Iro-
quois fire-5S2.
Chicago Is killing people at the rate
of AZ a week largely by automobile,
although numerous and highly
trained traffic policemen make cross

This is the most spectacular produc-
tion from the Ince studios since the
historic Ince film Civilization" which
created new standard for film pro-
ductions.
1t required five months to make the
production and many of the screens
highest salaried artists were employed
Mr.. lnce himself handled the mega
phone in the big scenes because it is
his intention to have Lying Lips" the
biggest film of the year.
House Peters has the leading male
role of Blair Cornwall, young Can
adian> whose grit and resourcefulness
carried him over obstacles that would
have dauhted man of less energy.
The future and the happiness of hils-
self and the daughter of an English
arlstocrat, Nance Abbott, the part
played by Florence Vidor, are to be
sacrificed at the altar of convention
and 1T is against this, the falsity Of life
that Peters as Cornwall gives battle
and energies triumphant.
In point of lavishness, Lying Lips
is masterpiece, and the golden stair
way used in the film and the ballroom
with Neptune's nymphs, represents an
expenditure of thousands of dollars.

MAKING MONEY ON OATS.
BY A. L. Bibbins, Extension, Special
ist. M. A. C.

Many Michigan farmers are each
year losing money on their oat crop
Those who /are harvesting average
yields are just about meeting the cost
Of production. The man who makes
money on this crop is the one who
produces high yield to the acre of
good quality oats.
Quality Oats.
The profitable pat is the one hav-
ing small per cent of hull but a
large per cent of meat, as it is the
latter portion that comprises the food
value Of the oat.
Good oats are those that stand up
well, which are free of disease, and
are adapted to the conditions under
which they are to be grown.
Professor Spragg has had these
points along with many others in
mind during the past fifteen years
that he has spent in developing su-
perior oat varieties for Michigan far
mers.
