boom nature about our city and in
that sort of a place where we find an
actual increase from year to year, it IS
a positive evidence that the business
health is good. Douglas just now is
looking into a very promising year and
it is my confident prediction that the
normal and natural growth which the
city will make during this year will
bring it's postal receipts up by an in
crease which compares very favorably
with any that have been made during
the last six years.
The optimism of the postmaster is
shared quite generally by business men.
Postal receipts depend wholly on the
activity of the city's business interests
as the receipts set forth above are
those which come in the sale of serv-
ice, such as stamps and money orders
and SUCH When the business houses
are active in keeping stride with the
times and rounding up their trade OPP
portunities they require more and more
Of the services I. that the postoffice
renders and thereby they add to its
sales. If, as the postmaster forecasts,
Douglas is looking into the best year it
has enjoyed in the last six or seven,
then his forecast of a sizeable growth
in the postal, receipts will be amply
realized.

HUNT PROTESTS
YUMA SUPPORT
SWING JOHNSON.

PHOENIX, Jan. S CF-The board
of directors OF the Yuma Chamber OF
Commerce are asked in a letter writ
ten to them by Governor Hunt to
rescind their recent action endorsing
the Swing Johnson bill.
The governor points out that the
action of the Yuma chamber is un-
fortunate at this time. He also de-
clares that the Swing johnson bill
is not the proper instrument for
furthering irrigation in the Yuma
valley and that he agrees with State
Senator Mulford Winsor CT Yuma
county in that respect.
Winsor several days ago addressed
a letter to the Yuma chamber pro-
testing against the action of that
body in endorsing the bill.

INF ANTRY WILL
MOUNT GUARD ON
TENTH STREET

Army officers at Camp Jones have
announced that ii. accordance with
instructions from the eighth corps
area headquarters at Ft. Sam Hous-
ton, Texas, the 25th infantry will
endeavcr to establish closer rela-
tionShip with the civilian population
of this district The first move in
this direction came yesterday in the
form of Tan announcement that on
Saturday morning at 1O:30 o'clock a
formal guard mount will be staged
on Tenth street in the heart of tbo
city Of Douglas and directly oppositg
the Tenth street park
Similar military ceremonies and
drills will be staged on this street
on the first Saturday of each month.
At the guard mount the 25th infantry
band will play and the guard will
be put through the regular formal
routine inspection which is very
snappy and impressive.
AS has always been the policy OF
the officers of the battalion stationed
here the public is not only invited
to witness the guard mount which
will be held in the city but. is invited
to visit the camp at any time to
see the various drills and maneuvers
practised on the parade ground there
On each Saturday OF the month
except the first one, there Will be
community singing at the camp. This
singing is joined in by all troops and
with the band to lead it is something
worth hearing. The public is invited
to attend these weekly musicales.
There is a formal parade at Camp
Jones each Thursday at 1O:4O
o'clock. While the number of soldiers
at Camp Jones at present is very
small compared with the tens OF
thousands that paraded and drilled
there ten years ago, these soldiers
are regulars and are much more
rigidly trained than those of the wal
days so that with their Incompatible
band at their head they create ar
imposing spectacle.

POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS IN 1927
CONTINUED TO CLIMB UPWARD
GAIN 10 PERCENT SINCE 1927

Something more than 10 per cent
gain has been recorded by the Douglas
postoffice in its receipts when they
are compared with the total for 1921,
or for a period of six years. That. is
shown by the figures which have been
compiled by Assistant Postmaster w.
y. jackson, who is now checking up
on the business and segregating the
cash received by departments. The
actual gain over the receipts for 1926
is not large but it is a gain, so that
the business health of the postoffice is
sound, in the view of Postmaster E. j.
Huxtable.
Here are the totals by years which
were recorded at the local office from
1921 to 1927, inclusive, according to the
figures Just complied:

,itH will be seen. that the Douglas office
was just inside the barrier in 1921 but
that it has consistently maintained it's
position in that group since then. The
record shows that there was a drop,

still was ahead of the record for 1921

New Great Fails Roadway PIanned

A new roadway along the Maryland side
of the proposed park to follow the upper
Potomac to Great Falls is included in a
plan perfected by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. Lieut.. Col.
U. S. Grant Srd has informed the Mont
eomery County Civic Federation. The
statement was made in answer to a reso-
luton from the federation seeking a re-
moval of some of the curves in Conduit
Road.
Col. Grant. while asserting that Conduit
Road will continue to be one of the main
highways into Maryland. admitted that it
had many curves which should be elimi-
mated. but pointed out that these curves
are due to the fact that the road follows
the conduit, which must of necessity be
on the exact contour. He also informed
the federation that the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
could do much to obtain the area neces-
sary for strengthening and wild ening the
roadway. in accepting plats for property
along this thoroughfare.
The Federal Planning Commission. he
says. in planning the parkway. has laid
down another roadway. separating public
property on the river side from private
property on the land side.
For the most part of the distance, this
proposed route does not coincide with the
Conduit Road. but is nearer the river
Too much expense. he went on. would be
involved in acquiring all the land between
Conduit Road and the Potomac River, al
though such park would. of course, be a
magnificent thing.
Col Grant also said that this park and
parkway project. if carried out. will re-
lieve Conduit Road of traffic to a consider
able extent. as a great deal of the passen-
ger traffic will follow the parkway route
rather than the Conduit Road.
The federation also received a letter
from Representative Zihlman. chairman of
the House District Committee. in which he
said that he would endeavor to obtain an
appropriation of $1,000 for the District
engineers office for the purpose of making
a complete report as to the cost of straight
ening. widening. boulsvarding. etc.. of the
Conduit Road from the Great Falls to the
District of Columbia line.

The charmed circle is broken.
Their dear faces are missed day by day
Our main link is broken.
For our dear parents have passed away
Many weary path they have travelled.
In the darkest storms of strife.
Bearing many heavy burden
Which for those they left in life.
Farewell, dear parents. thou art gone,
It's hard to give you up.
To part with all we had on earth
And drink the bitter cup.
You were patient, good and kind.
As mortal ere could wish;
The Lord in taking you from earth
Has taken all from us.
A mother more patient or more kind
Ne'er lived beneath the sun
We think you were without fault,
We do not think of one.
1t was too hard to see you die
And leave US here alone:
To print the parting kiss upon
Your lips, as cold as stone.
Oh, father dear, you are not forgotten.
Forgotten, you will never be.
AS long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
In sight and memory you always are.
And always will remain;
And some day we hope and trust
We will all meet in Heaven again.
