Light Rigs and Small Loads Spring
Need.

Minnesota roads are freezing and
thawing nowadays and are soft and
easy to damage excessively, says a
current highway bulletin. 1t is the
time when the road user can serve
his own interests and public econ
omy by using light rigs and carrying
light loads.
Where unnecessary abuses are re-
ported, the bulletin adds, the high.
way department will be compelled to
enforce loading regulations by pro.
secutions and road closings.
But common sense cooperation
will avoid drastic action and work
to the advantage of all concerned.

A professor in the east has issued
his opinion that after man has
reached the age of sixty years he
should BE- chloroformed and put out
of the way as useless. Bright idea,
idea would be to begin on some of
these old fogies in the colleges and
thus cut off many of these foolish
chickering's.
Representative John Saari of the

Boyle Bros, in Duluth, had 100
cartridges in cold storage on the
roof of their place and Deputy War
den Green found and confiscated
the same. The grand jury has in
dicted Boyle and besides losing the
birds, he is liable to a fine of 3d.
400. As cartridges are not allowed
to be sold, Warden Green might
further increase his usefulness by
ascertaining the scouree from which
so many birds came into possession
of one man.

OUTLAW CABIN
TURNED INTO
RADIO. CHURCH

Tonopah, New, June I'm the hills
near the new gold camp of Gilbert,
30 miles from here, is an old stone
structure known as the Outlaws Ca
bin. 1t has stood for 50 years or
more. Many tales are told Of this
rendezvous of the desperadoes who
once infested the desert country. It
was here they gathered to plan thir
stag hold-ups and periodic raids on
the scattered settlements--or to d.
vide the booty, an occasion that often
ended in a bloody fight. Many bullet
scars in the walls and dark streaks
on the floor testify to the former
character of the place.
Recently the name of the cabin
was changed to the Radio Church.
The discoveries OF gold in the sur
rounding hills lately. bringing
stampede of prospectors, provided a
new use for the old Landmark. Ey-
cry Sunday evening It il filled with
those who listen in on q sermon de-.

Some of the grizzled old-timers are

certs in remote places, to prospecting
with IN automobile instead Of with a
string OF burros.

FAMOUS PAIR
WILL APPEAR
HERE TONIGHT

Tonight, Mr.. Gallagher and Mr..
Shean, will appear in person, at the
Auditorium in special edition oil
that gorgeous annual revue, the
Greenwich Village Follies.
SO often has it been said that the
lot of this city is usually to find a
number two cast and production in
their midst, that it is a most welcome
piece of theatrical news to hear that
Mr.. Gallagher and Mr.. Shean, the
highest salaried comedians on the
American stage will appear, in per-
son, in Americas greatest annual
musical revue, the Greenwich Village
Follcs. And when one stops to
think that this is the same identical
organization, cast, chorus and pro-
duction in which these "unique and
extraordinary" comedians will make
their World Tour, it is no small Won
der that anticipation runs high.
For the past three years Gallag-
her and Shean have been the most ad-
vertised and discussed comedians on
the American stage, if not in the
world. First their famous song, ooh.
Mr.. Gallagher, and Oh Mr.. Shean"
swept the country like wildfire, and
the long controversy between the
Messrs. Shubert and Flo Zegfeld
over their services kept the names
Of Gallagher and Shean constantly
in the newspapers. Immediately fol-
lowing this legal battle, Messrs.
Jones and Green with their accus-
toned and unusually rare Snowman
ship, secured the services of Gallag-
her and Shean for last seasons
Greenwich Village Follies, in which
they were a positive sensation.
The unprecedented popularity of
these "Misters" Of the music revue
prompted Messrs. Jones and Green
to organize for these comedians a
special Greenwich Village Follies and
arrange for them tour of the
world" the first bookings of which
they are now playing.
In the special supporting cast to
appear here will be a long list of
notable musical comedy and revue

MEN
ARECARELESS
WITH LETTERS
New Pleads For Good Mailing
Practices in Opening
Better Mailing Drive

= Washington, June ;.-Offenses
against good mailing practices are
not confined entirely to the average
man who mails only his yearly quota
of ll2 letters, Postmaster General
New declared today in connection
with his better mailing campaign.
The business man, who is naturally
expected to take every precaution
in the interest of intelligent COM
municaton with his clients or Gus
toners, often falls woefully short in
providing adequate safeguards for
the efficient delivery of his mail.
1t is true that comparatively few
business letters reach the Dead Let
ter Office because the business man
learned long ago to, have his return
address printed on his envelopes if
only for its accruing advertising
value.
There are firms, however, that
purposely leave off return cards
when sending out circulars and adj
vertising matter. They seek this
method of arousing curious recpi-
ents to examine letters which other
wise might he consigned unopened
to the waste basket.
4 But "Nixies letters re-
quiring directory service before de-
livery can be effected-are com
prised largely of business letters,
and this service costs the Post Office
nearly two million dollars yearly.
The practice of buying sales lists
Anticipated ones-for ad-
vertising soliciting through the
mails is especially prolific of mikes.
The owners of such lists seldom at
tempt to keep them current although
the Post Office will furnish clerks
to revise such lists at the nominal
charge Of 62 cents an hour.
Advertisers in newspapers, maya
zines and elsewhere often fail to
specify their own street addresses.
Answers, therefore, particularly
where the advertiser is located in
one of the larger cities, just as fire.
quently are returned to the sendcrs.
"That's a penny wise and pound
foolish policy" Mr.. New said The
return of one letter marked Not
