postoffice men who hnve been with

estimate on the mall increase during
the weeks preceding Christmas"
The ease with which the huge
crowds were handled Is credited in
part to spirit Of cooperation on
the part OF the public and TO careful
preparation by officials. Additional
mailing space was provided at the
office thru opening the basement to
tho public. and several stations, for
the use OF postal employees only in
handling parcels, were operated in
districts OF the city.

For years it has been popular for the daily

oorations doing business with the public.
However. The Gazette has refraincd from

5ughly convinced that 1t was justified. We
believe we have a Just kick now. For the
ast fifteen DAYS we have been trying to get
ONE information from the local PemSyl-
ania Agent regarding a shipment OF print
aper which has been somewhere between
brownsville, n. y. and Alexandria since the
ventieth of January. But all OF our efforts
ave been in vain 1t is apparent that those
charge of the freight office here have adopt
| policy of the Public I've damned.
Our request was simply that the agent trace
he car and advise us as to when 1t might
: expected in Alexandria We tried to I'M
ress upon those with whom we talked the inl-
ortance of getting the Car to its destination

After Fifteen DAYS of tclephoning and send

e local agent would write a letter to Phlla-
elphia and that we would be advised later
,e could not send telegram because tee-
-am would cost fifty cents and he had no

toMptTfNG FARMERS

Farmers are learning rapidly to cooperate
with each other in selling their products.
There are now $4,000 cooperative selling
organizations in this country. But with their
increase comes a new evil, which is really only
\ new form of the old evil.
The trouble now, says President Bradtute
OF the American Farm Bureau Federation, is
that these organizations which were formed
TO eliminate competition among the indivld-
nal farmers are now coming into wastetui
competition with each other.
That. however, will remedy itself IN time,
in agriculture as it has in the steel and OH
and railroad industries and is beginning to
do in the automobile industry The tendency
in our modern society, is toward larger and
larger organizations
Sooner or later. it may become necessary
70 assert public control over farm combina-
lions, TO prevent too much cooperation Tor
purely selfish purposes. But that time Is
still distant.

prove its way OF living. Apparently 4 good
deal remains to be done.
Lack of rest unwiSe eating and extreme
styles in footwear were the basic reasons for
most of the physical untitueSs discovered by
the Marine doctor. Unless the nation mendS
its way he sees a gloomy outlook
1t is nearly five years since the war ended
During these wears the country has been
flooded with health propaganda and Sugges-
