A RANK INJUSTICE

An example of the stubborness of gov
eminent bureaucrats is seen in the persis-
tence with which the Post Office Department
clings to it's practice of competing with local
printers in the sale of printed envelopes at
less than cost.
There is no more justification for this
practice than there would be for selling cloth
ing, groceries, or any other commodity at less
than cost, and making up the deficit by tax
alton.
Still, every administrator, whether Re-
publican or Democratic, has effectively resist
ed every attemp to put an end to this unfair
and indefensible proceeding.
Local printers do not object to the sale
of plain stamped envelopes, or those bearing
the return address of the post office, with a
blank line for the name to be written in. They
do object to the printing of individual return
addresses practically for nothing, the expense
being paid from the public treasury.
1t is not selfishness that impels small 10
cal printers to protest against this practice
They ask no favors from the government
They merely protest against the rank injus-
tice of policy which singles them out for a
species of discrimination not employed
against other citizens and taxpayers.

WAR ON PESTS COSTLY

Few persons, even among those engaged
in the fight, realize the enormous cost of the
warfare which must be continually waged
against the various forms of insect pests. 1t
is estimated that the time and money ex-
pended for this purpose in the United States
represents loss of two billion dollars year.
In spite of this mighty effort, insects
and plant diseases destroy between 10 and
Is per cent of all food raised. This situation
also confronts Canada and South America
and to large extent the entire world.
Grasshoppers and corn borers have
caused much damage of late, and among 9TH
ers which are particularly destructive may be
mentioned the Japanese beetle, boil wevil,
leaf hopper, red spider and an almost endless
list of minor psts.
An eniminent scientist declares that if
continuous warfare were not waged against
these destructive agencies they would cause
a loss of 60 per cent of all crops. 1t is there
fore imperative that every possible means
should be employed to check their ravages.

NEWSPAPER TALK

When one reads an unusual news story
about somebody who proposes to perform an
unheard-of-feat, the item is often viewed with
skepticism, and dismissed with shrug of
the shoulders as being "only newspaper talk"
And more often than not that is all it
amounts to.
Files of daily newspapers of February
5, 1927, contain such an item, which it is in
teresting to read again, in view of what real
ly happened later. 1t is an Associated Press
dispatch from ST. Louis in part as follows:
"a st. Louis-to-Paris airplane flight for the
$4,000 Orteig prize is under contemplation by
Captain Charles A Lindbergh chief pilot on the
st. Louis-Chcago air mail route. Captain Lind
bergh proposes to go alone using small plane.
The fight to New York would be made in one
day. The second leg of the trip 5000 miles,
Lindbergh believes he can make in 80 hours"
Three and half months later that dis
patch was verified except that it took the
flyer an hour and half longer than he had
estimated. This made more newspaper
talk" and Indy is still making it.
