MEXICAN co.
 SERVICE DROPPED
Country to Continue Hon= bring Money Orders
 Issued in U. s.

Registered cod. service to Mexico by the U. s. Postal Department has been suspended until further notice. Local persons seeking to make use of that service have been informed of the suspension by local author ities.
 The suspension was made by Harlee Branch, second assist ant postmaster general, immediately after the Mexican director general of posts notified the U. s. Postofflce Department of the temporary sus- pension of money orders issued in Maxico for payment in the United States. The announcement stated that Mexico would continue to honor money orders issued in the United States, however.
 MT. Branchs statement in regard to the situation was as follows;
 "In view of the suspension of the issue of money orders in MeXl- co for payment in the United States
 the registered c. o. d. Servlce to Mexico is suspended until further notice. There is no interruption m the c. O. d. service from Mexico, or in the ordinary and registered (eX- cept c. o. d. parcel post service to and from Mexico
 The situation is similar to that brought about in Austria, where temporary suspension Of interna- tional money order service has also been made.

ington and what are you Indians going to do about that or are you all Democrats and Republicans?" asked the square-jawed gent with the handle-bar whiskers who, someone said in an aside, was none other than the walking dele- gate from a chain gang.
 Well, I guess we can take 1t, can't we, pard?" the big stranger queried his surveying companion. "All's well that ends well, guess, and it's only April first once this year. See you in pictures"
 Whereupon parade started from the corner of LeavenWorth and Grand streets and the walk ing delegate shed his whiskers and whooped April Fool to you, my dear"
 Such fun.
 Fake telephone calls, of course, were numerous. Fire and police authorities usually reluctant ac- complices in the perpetration of jokes, report lack of old-time en- thusiasm for playing of pranks to- day.
 In former years there was a traditional parade of lawyers to police headquarters eager to repre- sent themselves as counsel for the defense, only to learn no prison- CTS were on hand anticipating their arrival.

Two strangers in town started a survey today of Library park, and when asked by officials of the Hire-a-hall for the Perpetuation of Hot Air Association what they intended, the big guy, six-foot, nine-inch stranger wearing red shoes and lavender neckpiece, remarked as follows:
 Listen, youse!" said the stranger, pointing a ten-inch clay pipe at the officials, When I want advice on what I does, I asks it, don't IF"
 Threatened with a poke in the nose, the stranger finally confess ed that he and his partner. beezer named Ottonomy x. Bridge of 2231 Main street, Hazardville, Ky, had bought Library park from another stranger at Coney Island last Saturday.
 Red Building
 "We weren't told about that big red building on the property but I suppose that goes with 1t, don't it?" asked the little feller. We could use that as the wigwam?"
 After stunned seconds of silence the Waterbury group elicited from Ezekiah Earlybird, the big guy, who turned out to be an Oshkosh Indian from Oskaloosa, Tenn, that the plans of the pair includ- ed giving Library park back to the Indians of the Oolah tribe of the Big House on Crazy Noun tain.
 But you can't do that" remon- strated the Republican committee man from the Fist ward. Tt just ain't legal. We've had that library for years and we're fond of it. Be- sides, I'm still reading Gone With The Wind and won't be through until fall, at the least"
 "A pooh, pooh! and lush to you" said the Indian. My family hath many pickaninnies and none so unintelligent as to come daily to a place like this to read books so long as the summer lasts. What care we whether you don't bring your slippers. too"

 catOrs May 7

Formation of a State Association of Boards of Education will be dis cussed at the spring conference of boards of education at New Britain, May 2. Program for the conference is being prepared by Commissioner of Education Ernest w. Butterfield.
 It has been stated by Commis- sioner Butterfield that formation of the state association would give greater freedom for initiative and board action. Commissioner But terfield has stated that he will not urge the establishment of an asso- citation if the members believe the present plan of organization more desirable.
 Under the present plan general meeting is held in the fall and in the spring, and county meetings are held in January. Commissioner But terfield suggests that the individual boards study sample bylaws which are based on those of the Vermont association. The local board will undoubtedly follow out this sugges- ton at their next meeting.
