SERVE LUNCHES
TO PoSTOFFICE
FORCE IN RUSH
Christmas Nail win Not be Delay.
ed By Sunday and Holiday;
One Monday Delivery.

The aroma of luscious hot coffee
has permeated the first floor of the
postoffice building during the last
four days. Reason: through the CO.
operation of Postmaster H. P. Simp-
son, Assistant Postmaster Olson,
the local welfare council and the
women of the Office Arrangements
were made to serve coffee to the
employees during the overtaxed per-
iods, daily from II O'Clock ip the
morning to 2 o'clock in the after
noon, and from 4 to 7::30 In the
evening. This is for the comfort
Of the carriers and clerks whose
hours Of duty we're such that they
could not go home for their meals,
during the rush, but who brought
their lunch with them, while the
women had made provision in the
way of sandwiches for employees
who were Unexpectedly detained
and had neglected to bring a lunch
with them. 1t was an innovation
which was appreciated by the en-
tire force. The coffee was prepar-
ed in one of the swing rooms in the
basement by the charwoman of the
custodian force, Mrs. Mayme sRin7
insland, and the coffee was always
steaming hot and ready to serve to
all corners.
Postmaster Simpson today an
nounced arrangements for service
tomorrow and Christmas day. The
Office will be closed both days, but
the entire feet of government
owned motor trucks will deliver
everything that may come into the
Office. The same arrangements
will be in effect Christmas day, and
in addition to this, carriers will
make one delivery, expecting to
complete it by noon, cleaning up all
Christmas mail that may come into
their hands.

IDEAL STATE Law.

Cleveland, Dec. 23.-What may
develop into an ideal system of au-
tomobile regulation-in all its di-
'versified aspects-is being planned
for, adoption in Ohio by. the Ohio
State AUTOMOBILES association.
Fred II. Galley, president q the
Sfganization. has begun sounding
the views Of the various other as
sociations in the state concerning
series. of proposals for new legis-
lation. The combined opinion Of
these organizations is. expected to
be incorporated into the Ohio state
automobile laws.
The proposals ON which views are
being gathered are: =.
L. Licensing Of all auto owners
and drivers, based on passage Of a
mental and physical test and pay
ment of small fee; license revoca-
BILE by traffic court.
2. Regulation Of motor buses and
! trucks. ass
8. Control Of speed traps by linn
iting country constables and mag
| istrates. ~ s.s sf
4. Strengthening Of the Atwood
law providing for bill of sale on
transfer of used car.
5. Repeal or amendment Of anti
glare law, so it will not react to
benefit certain manufacturers OF
dimming devices.
6. Increase Of license fees on
commercial cars.
Z. Legislation requiring auto
drivers to stop before crossing rail-
road tracks,
s. Enforcement OF liability insur-
ance or bond by every car owner
or driver. H.
3. Enactment of gasoline tax.

| vehicle drivers to remove Tugs OF
spikes from wheels before opera
ting on public roads.
II. Raising penalty to $500 for

u. Raising minimum sentence tc
one year for auto theft.
| These proposals. Galley points out
have been made to the state legis-
latufe by interests of all sorts
some OF which he says are purely
i commercial and selfish. He lists
them, however. in order that he
may obtain as representative an
opinion as possible from all the in.

II Il Z foreeone conclusion that
the committee report. in which the
Illinoisan will join, will vindfcate
the attorney general and repudiate
Representative Oscar e. Keller Of
Minnesota, who filed the fmpeach-
ment charges and last week with
drew from the hearings, charging
that the committee was packed
against him.
Representative Keller is now at
work on = speech, to be delivered
when the committee report is sub
mitted, in which he will renew his
charge that Chairman .volstead.
Yates, Graham of Pennsylvania and
other members of the committee
showed bias and a determination to
"whitewash" the attorney general
early in the hearings. The house
will probably adopt the committee
report, practically all of the Illinois
members supporting it,.
The position OF Representative
Edward J. King, Galesburg, and the
Democrats from Chicago is in
doubt Representative King has
heretofore been a harsh critic Of the
attorney general and may line up
with Representative Keller and
other ''fnsurgent" Republicans who
believe the Impeachment proceed
ings should be renewed in the next
congress. Representative William
J. Graham Aledo, attacked the
Daugherty injunction during his re-
cent campaign in the Rock Island
district, which was mentioned in
the impeachment charges, and as
chairman of the war frauds investi-
cation committee repeatedly criti-
cized the attorney general for al
legged inactivity in prosecuting Of
tenders Representative Graham
has not yet indicated how he will
vote On the report of the judiciary
committee. Woodruff of Michigan,
Sinclair of North Dakota, and
nearly all the Wisconsin s"insur-
gents" will join with Keller in an
attempt to override the committee
report.
/ Down-state Illinois congressman
declared here today that they will
ask the department of justice to act
on the basis Of the report sub
mitted this week to Governor Small
by the Daley building investiga-
ton commission. Representative
Graham, King and others have fol
lowed the Investigation closely from
the start and believe that the fed
eral government has authority lo
bring prosecutions under the anti,
trust laws which may alleviate
evils complained of in the report
The attorney general has already
been requested to bring pr0secu-
tions in New York in cases of build
ing frauds revealed by the Lock
wood investigating committee.

Dairy farmers as well as the

banner. 1t will not only mean val

but it will result in a higher price fer
all the butter produced in the state.

cry in Southern Minnesota exhibited
butter at the Worlds Fair in Paris a
number of years ago and won the
first prize in competition with the
whole world. that one stroke Of good

Creameries Of the State
Face New Competition
Cooperation Made Minnesota Great
est Dairy State. Says Mcclure
] Now Threatened

For rs years Minnesota has been
recognized as the greatest butter
state in the Union. Minnesota won
this distinction chiefly through the
quality of butter produced. Mime
sofa was building its creameries, but
cause of it's 600 cooperative creamer-
les.
Other states built cooperative
creameries at the same time Mime
sofa was building its re9meries, but
in the other states the cooperative
creameries have been largely illed off.
In Minnesota they have survived, but
they are by no means safe.
Twenty-Five years ago the cooper
ative creameries manufactured prac-
ideally all the butter that was made
in Minnesota. At the present time
there are 1000 cream stations scat
tered throughout the state and owned
by the centralizers.
The centralized system is what kill
ed off the cooperative creameries in
other states and they are now making
every effort possible to get control of
the butter industry in Minnesota. To

this end one of the largest centrali
zers in the United States has an
nounced its plan to establish sweet
cream creameries in Minnesota. 1t is
doing this in order to be able to com
pete with the cooperative creamer-
les on the New York and Philadel-
phia markets where the consumers
demand high-quality butter. The CEN
tralizers have practically all the 9th
er butter markets or che United
States, and they are now making a
drive to get these two important mar
kets.
The establishment of sweet cream
creameries in Minnesota by the CEN
tralizers is putting into effect the
most dangerous weapon the farmers
creameries have yet had to go against.
The cooperative creameries in Min
nesota have ept in the lead because
they have made better butter than the
tralizers taing the field for high

quality butter, the cooperative cream"
cries will have to put forth except

they have made during the past Is

HARRISON WANTS SHAVE
But The Request of Prisoner Is Not
Granted.

Columbia, Dec. 23.-Ira Harrison,
who has apparently been in state
of coma since being resentenced on
Dec. 9 to die in the electric chair on
Friday, December 22, for the murder
of J. G.. Annette today asked prison
attendants to give him shave and
hair cut. His request was not granted.
Harrison apparently relapsed into a
state of coma after making the re-
quest and paid no attention to re-
marks directed to him.
Harrison was reprieved to Feb
ruary 16, by Governor Harvey on
December 21, after his attorneys had
appealed from a decision of Justice
