Improved Postal Service

- The post office department has been under

.severe criticism for many months. The attack

13 not directed against the employes, but against the mistaken theory of the postmaster general, who has permitted the system to deteriorate in order, as some critics allege, to make a good financial showing. In support of this contention they assert that mail trains have been taken off in such large numbers that it takes as long, if not longer, to inove a letter from New York to Kansas City today than it did many years ago. Cities along branch railroads have been hit hard, because in many instances only one mail train in either direction is operated. The" Indianapolis Star, editorially says that the small pay of employes in the service is responsible for the breakdown. Others believe this is only one of the many factors responsible. The Star says: ..... , - Those employed in the postal service have been granted increases in pay in . recent years, but those have not been proportionate to the advance in the cost of living nor have they kept

pace with the higher prices paid to workers in industry. The result has been that the young and desirable men who might be induced to enter the service are going into factories. 'Many who had passed the civil service examination and taken places in the postoffices are leaving to get more money elsewhere. The result' of that policy has been that the postoffices of the country are now manned by old employes, many of whom should be on pensions and' others of whom feel that they have been too long in the government employment to change, neither competent nor dependable. The helpers who do take the examinations remain only a short while, as a rule, and there is a constant procession of new men passing in and out of the postoffices.

The news reports from Chicago a few days ago explained that college students are employed

to work at odd times getting out the accumulation of mail in that city. It is not generally known that much mail collected in Chicago is shipped to Indianapolis to be sorted and started on its way. Such are conditions in Chicago compared with those in Indianapolis, which are bad enough. Detroit is said to be in worse condition than Chicago even, all due to inability to get enough competent help. The problem is a serious one and should not be neglected. Its solution lies in making the postal service sufficiently remunerative to attract and hold a high-grade quality of helpers. A few years ago a mail carrier or clerk got better pay than was received in the various industries. The result was keen competition for places in the service with corresponding benefit to the personnel of the department. Similar conditions should be restored in justice to the men in the service and in the interest of the public dependent upon ! the postoffice.

The greatest word in the English language is "wonderful." When used by the so-called weaker sex it possesses a punch that is a sure-fire knock-out. A man's lady friend can tell him that he is handsome and he perhaps does not believe her. She can tell him that he is honest and he experiences no thrill. She can tell him that he is good and he mildly agrees with her. But when she gazes into his eyes, and with a tremble in her voice, pulls that ancient, wheeze: "Dear, you are wonderful," he hits the ceiling with a crash, be

Farm Federation

The executive committee of the Howard County Federation of Farmers, meeting in Kokomo, Saturday, made a final decision against a county agent and hired Aaron Deardorff, a prominent farmer living near here, as business manager and purchasing agent for the county federation. The action was taken following the reports of various townships, which disclosed that practically all were opposed to the employment of a county pgent. Committees representing Clay, Erwin, Center and Howard Townships, at a separate meeting, took definite steps toward building a farmers' elevator in Kokomo.

In a recently issued volume bearing the above title, the author says: "Continuous use of grease paints, rouge and the like had ruined my complexion. My skin was colorless, wrinkled, coarse and punctured with large pores. In England I heard of the virtues of mercolized wax; my first experience with this marvelous substance convinced me it was more valuable than all cosmetics combined. Now whenever my complexion begins to go wrong I get an ounce of mercolized wax at the nearest drug store, spread

on a thin layer of it before retiring, ' washing it off next morning. The wax, ; after a few such treatments, seems i

literally to absorb the worn-out cuticle, when a brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin appears. "For the wrinkles and enlarged pores I began using a solution of powdered saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in a half-pint of witch hazel. Eathing the face in this every day for a while soon relieved the condition most wonderfully." Advertisement.
