struction of highways in Lake

ing of the board. :
The federal government has ap-
portioned 11,243.07 to Lake county

6, 900 miles a year, which are gen.
orally accepted figures. The fore
going estimates for this county are
based on the state totals.
Commenting on the comparative
amounts being spent for automo-
biles and for roads on which to run
them, the bulletin suggests that a
few dollars reduction in the auto
tax looks big to the average car
owner because he forgets at the
time that every cent of auto tax
goes into better roads which in turn
reduce his car running cost. Real
ization that the automobile bill in
the state is 1925, 100000 a year-in-
Guiding $45,00O,00 for gasoline
and oil and that of $25,000,000 for
tires alone-may put a less formid-
able aspect on proposals for &c.,
coo, 900 or $12,000,000 for the ST.
900 miles of trunk highways on
which to run cars at less cost, it
adds.
A previous bulletin pointing out
that Minnesota owners are spend
ing too much on cars because too
little on roads under an economical
balance said that railroads invest
more than ten times as much in
roads as in rolling stock.

POSTAGE RATE
CHANGE MADE.
NEW POSTAGE RATES WILL BE.
COME EFFECTIVE ON
APRIL Is.

The rate of postage on all pri-
vate mailing cards will be cents
each, whether they bear written or
printed matter. The rate will also
apply to each portion of double, or
so-called 'reply" cards. There will
be no change in the rate for gov
eminent postal cards, the govern
ment maintaining monopoly of the
business in the future.
After the new date, mail of the
third class will include all matter
now embraced in the third and
fourth classes up to and including
8 ounces in weight. All packages
over 8 ounces in weight will be list
ed as fourth class. The rate of post
age for matter included in the new
third class will be one and half
cents for each two ounces or frac-
ton of two ounces, except that on
books, catalogues, seeds, cuttings,
bulbs, roots, scions and plants, the
former rate of l cent for each z
ounces up to 8 ounces shall apply.
On fourth class matter, ordinarily
listed as parcels post, the rate will
be the same as at present with a
service charge of 2 cents per par
eel added. Parcels to be oiven spe-
cial handling will have to cary 25
cents additional postage, in addition
to the 2 cent service charge, and
should be marked Especial Hand
ling, prominently. Parcels origin
ating on rural routes do not need
the 2 cent service charge.
Registry charges are increased.
The section devoted to that depart
ment says that mail matter shall be
registered only on the application
of the party posting the same, and
the fees therefor shall not be less
than Is cents nor more than 20
cents in addition to the regular
postage, to be in all cases prepaid. !"
Minimum fee for insuring parcels
post will be cents for values up to
SIS, 8 cents for values to $25, 10
cents for values to $50, and rs
cents for values not to exceed 500.
Any parcel worth more than 500
cannot be insured for its value.
Fees charged for domestic money
orders are materially raised For
orders not exceeding $3.50, the new
rate is cents, up to SIS, It z cents,
and so on, an increase of 2 cents in
each division of prices.
No longer will it be possible for
you to wrap up your latest copy of
the county paper or village journal,
write on an Address, afix one cent
stamp, and forward it to a friend
or relative. The new regulations
say that on such second class mat
ter the rate shall be two cents for
each two ounces or fraction thereof,
for weights not exceeding ounces,
Just the same as if it were parcels
post.
These are the most important
changes made by the new postal
laws, which are designed to raise
the salaries of post.I clerks all over
the United States Additional facts
may be ascertained upon application
to the postmaster.

February amounted to 703,185 tons
as compared with 622,581 tons in
January of this year and 522,505
tons in February 1924. Total
shipments from the docks for the
season as of Mar. / amounted to
24,166,693 tons as against BATS
622 tons on this date last year.
February was short month and
the increase in consumption of iron
ore during that month was at
largely increased rate over that of
January. But with the present
consumption it seems that with the
opening of the shipping season this
year there will will be we'll under

Born in the aftermath of ter
rible war;" the speaker said, ''the

tinued, ''there is no truce in our

at home to pile up millions during

"a priceless heritage has been
given us. We pledged ourselves to
keep faith and so long as a disabled
man or orphan remains we shall
carry on for God and country. The
providing of American homes for
the orphans of every one who paid
the supreme sacrifice is our child
welfare program. 1t is right TO give
every homeless and helpless child a
chance for proper rearing. Every
time a child is diverted from squat
or, ignorance, and misery into the
way of decent home life, education
and character building, we are build
ing for the constitution and citi-
zenry.
Ninety percent of the crime to-
day is the result of neglected child
hood. We have caught the torch
. that is thrown from falling hands
and shall carry on"
