Jonesville Route J

We were suddenly shocked at New
Hope church Sunday morning about
II o'clock when death claimed Mr.. NJ.
G. Gault. was present when the
end came. 1t was a sad experience.
"Moxy," as we all called him, will be
missed, for he was so cheerful and al
ways met you with smile. You could
hear him whistling or singing when he
was passing the road. He believed in
going to church and Sunday school
and getting others to go. He was
superintendent of the Gault Sunday
school for several years and was hard
ly ever absent. He stood for all that
was right and made friends wherever
he went. He had few enemies to the
number of friends as anyone as was
proven at his funeral Monday after
noon. The family have my deepest
sympathy in this sad hour.

FEDERAL MONEY
FOR GOOD ROADS

Washington, March s.-Appropria-
tions Of $5,000,00O for federal road
construction next year, 81 900, 900 for
continuing the rans-continental air
plane mail service and $5l3,OOO to re-
pair the New York Brooklyn pneu-
matte mail tube service are additions
to the annual postoffice appropriation
bill carrying about 1924, ,OOO, 900,
which was ordered reported today by
the senate postoffice committee.
In addition To the $50, 700 900 for
next year in carrying out the federal
highway act, the committee declared
for $65 100000 for 1924 and $75,OOO,-
600 for 1926.
Altogether the senate committee
added nearly $70,0OO,OOO in the postal
budget as passed by the house. Among
additions inserted were provisions for
continuing the joint postal commits
son next year and for investigation
of "star route" contracts for 1919 to
1921 to determine whether there
should be readjustments of compensa-
ton.
An increase of 100 in the number of
rostoffice inspectors over the 42O
authorized by the house also was rec
commended by the committee. The
present force is 435 and Chief Inspec-
tor Simmons testified that the inspec-
tor force was "hopelessly behind" in
its work. Depredations of parcel
post mail, Mr.. Simmons said, have in
creased the bureaus work greatly.
The $l.9O0,OO0 authorized for con-
tinuing the trans-continental mail
service, which the house refused to
provide for, is the minimum for safe

which he received two weeks ago. Nc
Gregor was not able to take his seat In
the usual way. At first he stood. sup
ported by his crutches later he took q
seat on the arm Of u large chair. and
finally found more comfort by using n
table. The Court showed itself very
s0licitOus about his comfort.
Midshipmnn Robinson and related on
the witness stand by McGregor was
that he had been punished by Robinson
because lie failed to learn certain nauti-
cal terms which the older man had told
him. to learn. but in no way In pur-
suance of official authority. The hazing
took place in RobinsOn's room, nfter
dinner on the afternoon of the sixth Of

McGregOr said he was compelled to
perform three separate forms OF
physical exercises, each one until he
became exhausted, but was allowed to
have short rest between them. The
forms were termed "sitting on in
iinity," the 'stoop fall" and the
'asynpton."
Sitting on iniinity consisted Of taking
q sitting position with back against the
wall, but no support to the body. The
stoop fall is done by lying on the floor.

part of the arm and lowering 1t again.
The asympton is hanging from any

he sat In infnity four or five minutes
and became utterly exhausted. After
resting few minutes he performed the
stoop fall twenty five times, according
to his estimate. and then, after another
short rest, hung several minutes from
the locker, performing the stunt known
as the "asymptOn.'
At the finish of the third period Of
hazing McGrcgor said he dropped to
the floor IN great pain and exhaustion.
