GOOD SILVER MONEY NEEDED

The world has just witnessed central Europe
being jerked back from the edge of an economic
abyss, debacle caused entirely by bad money.
Paper money worthless; silver money, in
which the amount of silver used had been cut to
half that required in the standard United States
dollar, had become merely token money, worth far
less than it's face value. Such currency and money
is bound to have dsquieting effect on the peo-
pie among whom it crcuates.
American silver may yet be the savior of Eu-
ropean nations. It's production should be en-
couraged by every legitimate MEANS as well as it's
use in replacing much of the worthless money OF
the world. Western mines will play big part in
bringing about world stability.

KNOW YOUR INDUSTRIES

Wooden packing box manufacture for 1923 was
carried on by 865 establishments, employing 49,
154 workers and paying $94, AGA, ,026 for material
and $36, 026 for wages, for product selling
for $162, ,857,7 ,784. The number of wage workers
was 20 per cent larger than in 1921, with the
wage total 288 per cent higher. The average
wage was 1869 in 1921 it was 1881 in 1928, with
6559 more men employed
These figures emphasize the Importance of the
lumber industry for box making is only one OF
it's smallest branches. In the aggregate the pro-
duction of lumber in the western states has a
direct bearing on every home because Of the inn
nense sums it pays in taxes, the thousands of
men it employs and the millions of dollars it
spends for supplies in the immediate locality
where it is situated. Many sections would not
have railroad if it were not for the lumber
shipments to furnish large bulk of the traffic.
Learn more about the lumber industry, its needs
and its future Take an interest in the subject of
reforestation and realize that legislation or taxa
ton which cripples lumber production, hits the
pocketbook of every western citizen.

Special Handling and "Spe-
cial Delivery" Service.

The act oe February %, 1925, offers a
new and speedier service for parcel post
which mailers may or may not purchase
at their own option. This new service
for parcel post is called Especial Hand
ling" service.
Especial handling", in this law, means,
practically speaking, that such parcel
post is to be handled not as parcel post
is customarily handled, but as tirst-class
mail is handled. So far as the nature OF
the mail permits, the especial handling"
stamp makes parcel post first class mail.
Additional charge for this service is 70
cents for each parcel, and the words
Special Handling" must be written or
printed on the wrapper.
SPECIAL DELIVERY service ensures
immediate delivery at all United States
post offices of any class of mail on which
the required fee is paid in addition to
regular postage, namely 10 cents for
weight up to and including 2 pounds; 10
cents up to and including 10 pounds and
20 cents up to the limit of weight OF par
eel post.
Special handling and special delivery
are separate and payment of the fee of
enc does not secure the advantages OF
the other, bat they may be combined on
payment of the fee for both.
During the Christmas rush the special
handling Of your parcel post packages
and the special delivery will carry them
to the addressee without loss of time.
The service is provided with distinctive
tags to be attached to sacks of parcels
for especial handling" so they may be
readily recognized and given first atten-
ton.
