TOPIC AN INTERESTING ONE
The Juvenile Court," will be the
subject of an address by Judge Henry C. Fox, who has charge of that court.
in this county, at the open meeting of
the Brotherhood of he East Main Street Friends' church, Friday evening. This subject is one in which much inteerest is manifested. Judge Fox is trying to solve the problem along lines distinctively his own, and is meeting
with considerable success.
A number of meetings are planned
for the week at this church. On Sat
urday morning at :3o o'clock the
Whitewater Quarterly meeting will be held. The regular prayer meeting of the week will be held Thursday morn
ing at J o'clock and a special service of this nature has been arranged for Thursday evening.
The revival services at the church
last week, were concluded with the

and forty conversions were made. Rev.
Levi Pennington conducted the service last evening. using as his text. "Come
and go with us and we will do thee good.-'
A woi king agreement, in order that
the retail price of certain country pro
ducts may remain the same, was al
leged this morning by a former merchant, who inquired about the retail
price of eggs.
Finding that in all the stores, where
he called, eggs were being sold at '
cents a dozen today, while they were
sold a 24 cents Saturday, he made inquiry to determine the reason. He said that he was certain grocers phoned to
each other early in the day. what the quotations on certain products for that
dav would be.
That there is a collusion among the
grocers was strongly denied by a number of them when called upon today. They rdmit that the products in different stores are usually sold at the same
price. However the day's quotations, according to them, iu not fixed by telephon conversation, but by market conditions.
They explained that the price of 24
cents a dozen for eggs was noi uniform on Saturday, but that very probably p number of the larger dealers sold on close margins, because they
purchyred a large supply from farmers who came in to trade. It is explained that the price of eggs is liable to drop any day, the chief reason that
hens are expected to begin laying more regularly as the weather moderates.

AI THE HORSE SALE
Steps will be taken by the county and Cambridge City authorities to protect the public during the time oX the Lackey horse sale at Cambridge City next week. It is probable that deputies will be sworn into service to enforce the law. While the sale in itself is a big thing and one which the citizens of Wayne county would dislike to see dispensed with, it attracts a certain undesirable element.

vides that thev shall remain as tne
now are. The Weeks bill, which is the same as the Overetreet postal commission bill, does away with the assistant postmasters general. It leaves the postmaster general at the head of the department, but i reates a new office, that of "director of posts." who is intended to be the most important business official in the service. The salary provided is

New Director Must Be Big Man On every side it is recognized that the mere creation of a director of posts will not save the post office situation. The personality of the man will be the big thing. He is to be selected by the president and confirmed by the senate, just as in the case of a great many appointments now considered political. The department is to be divided, according to the proposed legislation, into seven bureaus.

supplies. The bill is strong on coordination and on trying to weld the department into a unified organization. The commission has found that at present the department has no strong, unifying
force. Cabinets Will Meet Often. Under the new plan it is requinii that the iostmaster general shall have a meeting of his department caginet at least once a week. The cabinet
will consist of the postmaster general, the director of posts, and seven directors in charge of the bureaus. Provision also is made for unifying the field organizations. The cabinet of each of the fifteen field districts is to consist of the district suerintendent of the post office, the division superintendent of the railway mail service, and the post office insiector In charge of the division. These three officials are to be required to meet in the field and to pass npon all matters
of administration and policy affecting
their division. The purpose is to put
the responsibility and initiative upon
the men who view the work at close range. All of the voluminous detail
