WATCH FOR GOOD THINGS

1t is the aim Of makers of this pap
er to put into every issue many thing
we believe will prove useful to cur
readers. We vary them week by
week, so it is necessary for you to
look through the paper closely that
you may find the things that are
meant to interest you. Some of the
things intended to help you are in the
news columns, but many Of them are
always to be found amoung the adj
vertisements. And haven't you not
ticed that advertising is much more
useful to you than it used to be? 1t
is now the part of wisdom to read the
ads in every newspaper. If you will
read and act upon the ads you will
find our home merchants are striving
hard to give you honest, sincere in
formation about what and where to
get what you want at fair prices. If
you will read and act upon the adj
vertising in this paper you will find
it not only to your immediate advant-
age, but you will make Belington a
better and better place in which to
trade, a thing that will work to the
permanent advantage of all of us.

POOR BUSINESS

The u. S. government was $4,000
900 short Of making its postal system
pay during the last fiscal year Think
that over, and then take into con-
sideration the fact that it is mon
opoly, too, that nobody is permitted
to operate letter carrying systems
in competition with your Uncle Sam.
We firmly believe, and Belington
citizens who have given the matter
any thought will agree, that if the
postal department was run by cor
poration of level-headed business
men, without being the football of
politicians, it would be such money
maker you couldn't get stock in it
for love or money. The government
doesn't own its own postal cars, and
the rent it pays for a car in just a
few years would buy the car new
and cars are good for long years of
service. 1t owns postoffice buildings
in but few towns, renting the build
ings in which the offices are located
in thousands of towns. And in all
most every case the rental cost of a
postoffice is the highest in the town.
Wouldn't it be good investment for
Uncle Sam to build his own post
office buildings if it is a good invest
ment for private individuals to build
them and rent them to him?
Talk all you please about maya
zines and newspapers being carried
so cheaply that the government loses
money, it's bosh. Fact is the postal
department, business without a
competitor, is so badly managed by
the politicians of both parties that
it has never been able to break even
and as long as it is run as it is now
it never will. And yet, it has been
political plaything for so long that
it seems as foolish to talk about
changing the system as it would be
foolish to talk about relocating the
moon.

Superintendent O J. Woodford has

visor of oral English and Dramatics

The course in Modern Drama
seems to be the one preferred as
most teachers can take this without
duplicating courses in literature
which they have alreay had. The
work will consist largely of lectures
upon perhaps twenty of the best
modern plays. The class is not re
stricted to teachers and anyone in.

Experience is usually what you get

Citizens of Belington may well be
divided into two classes-those who

The funniest part of it is that
while all our senators return from
Europe saying there1l be another
war no two of them are agreed on
what is going to cause it.
If it was actually true that people

with sticks and carrying our harvest
on our backs.

educational system they are making

show the teachers and pupils of this
