New rk-Chicago
Overnight Air Mail

| New York, June 2S.-- "a. P.) -

mail service between New York and

/ Whitbeck. superintendent of the
| eastern division, reported to Colone
| Paul Henderson, second assistant
| postmaster general, here today. The
new service will eliminate full bus
mess day between the two cities, the
regular mail time between them be-
ing two days.
The planes will operate in both
directions every night except Satur-
day and Sunday and will supplement
the transcontinental air mail service.
! which will continue to function with
out change.
Letters and packages intended for
the overnight service must be depos
tied in the New York post Office by
8 o'clock at night and in the Chicago
post office by 7.30 o'clock. This mail
will be delivered by the first carrier
trip the next morning.
From the eastern terminus the
planes will leave Hadley Field at
New Brunswick, N. j., at $50 p. NJ.
eastern standard time. and will be
due at haywood Field. on the out
skirts of Chicago, the next morning
at 5.45 o'clock, central standard time.
Eastbound planes, will leave May
wood Field at $50 p NJ, central
standard time and will be due at
Hadley Field the next morning at 6
O'Clock, eastern standard time.
The charge for the New York
Chicago overnight air mail will be
of, including transportation to and
from the air mail route. All mail
able matter will be accepted, includ-
ing sealed parcels weighing not more
than so pounds and exceeding not
more than s. inches in length and
girth combined. Mail matter may be
insured at ordinary rates, registered
and sent special delivery.
Planes in the New York Chicago
overnight service will fly over the
same route followed by the machines
OF the tranScontinental service.
The New York Chicago night air
mail amounts simply to double
tracking the existing air mail route
between these important cities" said
Colonel Henderson. 1.-THE significance
OF this new effort on the part of the
post office department to remove
aviation out of the theoretical or
military and establish it within the
practical lies in the fact that this
service was literally forced by BUSH
ness men. 1t has been just one year
since we opened the worlds first
HShted airway and established what,
In aviation, may be compared with a
slngle-track railway, 5000 miles long.
over which we operated one train,
or plane, each way, each day. What
was both an opeating and a traffic
experiment July /, 1924, becomes a
proven and acknowledged fact July i,
1925. So far as the mails are con-
cerned, Chicago is now located by
ar, with respect to New York, where
Boston is located by train"
Inauguration of the New York
Chicago overnight service is in COM
pllance with requests from financial
industrial and commercial interests
IN both cities, who began urging its
ESTABLISHMENT within a month after
the transcontinental service got un-
der way.

have observed farm conditions for
many years, and can think of but one
real means of doing it. or course
national prosperity always helps the
farmer and that we haven't. Now
everybody is trying to catch what he
can from whom he can. The farmer
is naturally the goat because of no
organization and no system of selling.
He buys at the long price and sells at
the short price. Cooperative buying
much to him. What every city in
this or any other state should do is
establish large central stations to re-
ceive, sort and sell all farm products,
beef, pork, butter. eggs. apples, hides,
vegetables, milk, etc. They should
have cold storage. They should be
able to handle milk and cream and
save some of the tremendous cost of
a duplication of milk dealers.
This plant should be big enough to
take care of the farmers stuff when
he has to deliver it and put it on the
market when it is wanted. 1t would
require a capital of at least 100000 to
operate successfully. The plant
should be built by the city and oper-
ated purely for the farmers benefit
at cost. 1t is just as easy to estab-
lish uniform price on the farmers
stuff as on steel, sugar, oil, coal or
anything else. Controlling the dis
tributing end is the only way to do
this. Such a corporation should be
controlled by board of to direc-
tors. The mayor, one farmer and one
merchant to serve without pay. Such
board should provide a manager and
assistants.
Such an organization would be able
to place their surplus outside of their
own city. This would mean a great
saving to farmers who have to peddle
their PRODUCTS. 1t would enable all
merchants to have a uniform price.
Grocery men do not want to stock
up heavy on anything nowadays, they
want things when they need 1t. 1t is
a shortage or a surplus which upsets
prices. You and I as business men
on the street should be just as much
interested in working out better
condition for the farmer as he is. His
welfare is our welfare. When he
goes the mills go, the business men
go, there will be only real estate left
to pay taxes on.

good will that be in the case of the

A heavier penalty for having arms

be added. Excessive punishment,

THE CHINESE SITUATION

The weakness Of the so-called
Chinese Government has long been
apparent to every intelligent person,
who reads. Such weakness invites
corruption, aggression and pollution
of international relations.
China is far from the United
States, yet this country has vital
interest in the well-being Of China.
We have had and deserved the
friendship Of the Chinese. So far in
the fighting in this uprising it ap-
pears Uncle Sam luckily has escap-
ed a direct clash. But Americans
must be protected against lawless-
ness in China as elsewhere.
One recalls that at the Washing
ton Conference the subject Of the
Chinese concessions was under con-
sideration. That there is more or
less unfairness connected with these
may be assumed; the conditions pre-.
suppose this. On the other hand If
foreigners in China today were at
the mercy of the inefficient Chinese
Government their situation would be
practically hopeless, If we may
judge from such information as has
come to us. Surely we would hesi-
tate to leave their rights to the Chi
nese courts under existing conditions.
or their physical protection to the
Chinese soldiery. China's Govern
ment Is too weak If willing. One
essential to increased strength would
De increased revenue; another would
be honest and efficient administra-
aion OF such revenues. Where is
anere evidence that the latter would
Dc mad II the former were provided I?
A conclusion of the Washington
conference was that gradually the
ahens should relinquish to China
some OF the privileges that had been
conceded; that so q aid be obtained
money whereby ,China's courts and
police might he strengthened, but all
agreed thu must be a gradual
change. The bolshevik element the
world over has no patience with
gradual changes. They ,zAnt what
they want when they want it. and
their wants change from day to day.
communists are undoubtedly TO-
menting trouble in China. They
must not be permitted to prevail il
that be possible. Later reports from
China indicate that this will be nos
sible. The Chinese are not by ma
ture bolsheviks.
