This Week
Ambition the Picker
Money Cheap, Stock Nervous
Fourth Dry Anniversary
By Arthur Brisbane

1t is suggested that the United
States admit ''picked immigrants. -
How will you pick them? A pick
ing system would have rejected
Steinmetz, crippled hunchback, who
came here as boy, became head
electrician of the General Electric
company, and created work for many
thousands.
The picking system would have
rejected Napoleon, had he come to
the United States, when he went down
to Italy and beat the Austrians. He
was understood, pallid, thin and suf-
fering from the itch.
The picking system would have
turned away Pope, who wrote the
Essay ON Man. and some ether things
worth while. He was such a sickly
little creature that he had to be sew
ed up in canvas jacket each morn
arg, that he might sit up straight
and write.
The safest picking system" is to
allow immigrants, in future as i'll the
past, to be selected by their own am
bition and energy.
Money in the stock market was
cheap last week. You could borrow
it at percent if you wanted to spec
ulate in stocks. 1t cost a little more
if you wanted it for some slower,
duller business The stock market
went up and down like the pulse of
nervous lady expecting a proposal.
Gentlemen that are gambling Tor as
they would prefer to put it, invest
ing don't quite know what is going
to happen with General Dawes in Par
is and the Labor party in the House
of Parliament.
There was some comfort for the
farmers, corn and oats going to new
high prices for the season. OF course
the new high prices come, as usual
after nearly all the farmers have sold
their-c corn and oats.
The fourth anniversary of the
amendment has just been
celebrated in Washington. How do
you think prohibition has worked |
thus far?
It's enemies tell you, truly, that !
bootleg liquor born of prohibition is |
the worst ever drunk-it blinds, poi |
sons and kills.
Friends of prohibition tell you, also
truly, that fewer people go to Jail,
and many more millions are deposited |
in savings banks than in the old days. |
1t is for you to choose. Mean
while, be sure of this: Nobody will
know anything about prohibition for
at least sixty years. 1t will take
that long to prove whether alcohol
is necessary to northern races
orientals have amounted to
little because they drink no alcohol,
OF in spite of the fact that they
drink no alcohol.

New Mail Route
Service Will Be
Thrice Weekly

Although official notice for estab
lishment of rural mail route No. has
been received from the postoffice
department, certain conditions must
be complied with before the service
will actually begin, says an announce
ment by Charles J. Simmone Grange
willie postmaster.
Prospective patrons will be. required
to erect approved mail boxes or file
a written agreement with the post
master that they will erect such boxes
and have them in proper shape to
receive mail by the time service is
started. AT least ninety families must
make this agreement before March 10,
or Che order will be postponed or re-
scinded. More than one family, but
not more than five families, may use
the same box, provided they sign a
mutual agreement with the postmas-
ter that such service is agreeable to
all. Boxes should be ON the right
side of the road on the line of travel
for the carrier and should be so ar
ranged that the carrier need not
leave his vehicle to take up or de-
liver mail. Boxes should be grouped
together as much as possible so the
carrier may leave mail in as many
boxes as possible with a minimum of
stops.
Rural carriers are required to de-
liver TO the box all mail addressed to
the patron or his family, and collect
all mail deposited in the box for dis
patch. The carrier will carry suf-
ficient supply of stamps and stamped
paper to supply needs of the patrons.
Registry, money order business, and
the insurance will be furnished pat
rons by meeting the carrier in person
when receipts will be given or taken
for the business transacted. The let
Ter rate of postage win be 2 cents for
each ounce or a fraction thereof. The
service will be tri-weekly, Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays.
Glen Manring, acting substitute
carrier, has been named temporary
carrier ON the new route.
