POSTDFf ICE DEPT. SELEJPPOMG The United States is close to that postal Utopia, a one cent sealed letter rate. For the first time in thirt / years the postoffice department is not only self-supporting, but is bringing a large revenue to the government. When we remember that only two years ago there was a deficit of more than seventeen millions of dollars and that there is now a surplus of three millions, involving a change of twenty millions, we can have some appreciation of what Postmaster General Hitchcock has accomplished. He can do much more if congress will but second his efforts, and by the establishment of a parcels post 99 per cent, of the people of the United States will be notified and the federal government will turn what has heretofore been a losing business into one of great national profit. At the present time there is besides the three million dollars turn-

j ed back to the treasury, a full million in the national postoffice and I unles the expenses during this month should prove extraordinary, the surplus will be still greater so ' the fiscal year. Let it not be forgotten that the present administration inherited a» deficit of more than $17,500,000, the largest in the history of the postal service. This deficit was soon changed after Postmaster General Hitchcock took charge. In the past it always has been the custom for the government to set aside at least ten millions to meet the deficit cf the general postoffice, " but Mr. Hitchcock found that he would not have to use any part of the amount and sent it back to the treasury. An accounting plan was adopted about a year ago, which insures the prompt deposit in the treasury of postal funds not required for disbursement at postoffices, and to this reform in the financial system of the postoffice department the present much desired condition is in part indebted.

Pence, and to them were bqfn two children, Mrs. Pearl Darr of Syracuse and Ollie Pence, who resides on the home farm one mile west of Benton. There remains to mourn a husband. two children, two grandchildren, one brother, two sisters and many friends. She was a devoted wife, a kind and loving mother, ever having interest of others at heart. She was a faithful member of the United Brethren church of Solomon’s Creek for many years, and a very capable and efficient teacher in the Sunday School at the same place. Sister Pence will be greatly missed in the home, the church, the Sunday School and the community in which she lived. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. O. L.

The man who had first been secured to make the address was unable to be present but a very able substitute was found in a friend of county superintendent Edson B.

By a new ruling of the postoffice department, which has been received at the local postoffice, the government permits the sending of dunning post cards through the mails, provided the dun is couched in respectful language. Heretofore no duns, even notices of assessments, etc., have been allowed to be sent out on postal cards. The law required them to be enclosed in an envelope and a 2-cent stamp attached to same. The new ruling will enable firms to cut down materially on the postage required for sending monthly statements to customers. '

j Delicious Ices Made At Home. The secrets of making good iced desserts are many and when once learned, the work is simple. Always use half milk and half cream To every quart of liquid add one cup of granulated sugar, one tablespoonful of flavoring. Let it stand in a cool place for an hour before freezing to blend the flavors. To make the cream smooth, always strain before freezing. If eggs are to be used never allow more than one to a quart of liquid and add it lastly when partly frozen Be sure that the freezer is sweet and clean and fill only two thirds full. Remove dasher after the cream is frozen so it can be easily handled. VANILA ICE CREAM. To make this simple but excelent ice cream for six, use one pint of rich milk, one pint of cream, one cup of granulated sugar and one table spoon full of vanila. Set away in refrigerator for an hour or mnre. (Add yolk of egg if cream and milk are not very rich) strain through cheese cloth and freeze. STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM Take one pound or one quart of fresh strawberries carefully picked and with a wooden spoon rub them through a fine sieve, then add one fourth pound of powdered sugar, juice of one half of a lemon, one half pint of rich cream and freeze. This is very fine in taste and in color. Clara G. Reilly. Oil For Dusty Roads. Roads and streets are being oiled in many places to keep down the dust. The method is thus described by an exchange. The dust has all been scraped off and a top dressing of gravel , spread qver the street. This is sprinkled with water and rolled down evenly. The road is then ready for the oil to be put on, which is done by a specially constructed wagon. After the oil has applied, the traffic is turned off for about twenty-four hours to allow the oil to soak in. A thin layer of coarse sand is then put on, which takes up the surplus oil. When the traffic is turned into the oiled street, in a very short time it becomes almost as hard as a pavement, perfectly smooth and impervious to water. Solomon’s Creek. Wesley Ott is sporting a new Jackson automobile. Mrs. Art Nicolia-and Mrs. Arthur Stuart are on the sick list. Bessie Juday returned home Tuesday after visiting several days at Cromwell. Quite a number from here attended the Old Settters meeting at Goshen last week. John Rex wife and little daughter of Marion, visited with Henry Rex and wife over Sunday. Levi Pearmon and wife, B. F.

Children’s Day at Church of God. The Children’s Day exercises at at the Church of God Sunday evening was well attended in spite of the inclement weather and those present felt well repaid forgoing. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and in orange and black, the colers of Findlay College. The efforts put forth by the chilcren could not but have been gratifying to those who worked faithfully to drill them. All performed their parts creditably and well, and we recall all with pleasure but’some of the feature which stand forth most prominently in our memory were the songs by Geneese Rapp, Louise Bushong and the groupe of children with the small Japaneese umbrellas who sang “we’re the Rainy Day Brigade” and also the piano solos by Violet King, Katheryu Rapp and Helen Bowld. Mrs, John Pence. The funeral of Mrs. Omar Darr s mother, Mrs. John Pence was held Friday morning at the Solomon’s Creek U. B. church when a large number of the friends and nighbors assembled to do honor to the memory of the deceased. Rev. O. L. Richart pastor of the church, assisted by Rev. Buckner pastor of the M. E. church at New Paris and Richville and Rev. Ayers of Syracuse conducted the funeral services.

Resolved that inasmuch as God has seen fit to call from our midst a sister, we hereby extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family and while they have lost a good wife and mother, and we, a good teacher and friend, yet we realeze that our loss is her eternal gain, and God doeth all things well.

Annual Lodge Memorial Servises. The annual Memorial services of the various lodges were held Sui - day, June 11, and despite the threatening weather, a representative crowd was in attendance to pay due homage to the departed brothers and sisters. The K. O. T. M.’s decorated the graves of their departed members in the morning, in order that those who were also K. of P. brethren might join with them in the afternoon services. The Syracuse band -furnished the music for the marching. At the Opera House a male quartet, Messrs. C. C. Bachman, B. K. Eldridge, Abe Hire and Joe Cory, rendered several selections. The address by Judge Bowser of Warsaw, was a masterpiece and greatly appreciated by all present, and has been largely commented upon. The central thought is eir.-; bodied in these words: “If fraternal love held all men bound, wl at a beautiful world this would be.” After the address the line of march was formed with the band leading and they proceeded to ti e cemetery. Where the regular ritualistic Memorial services were held and the graves decorated. The march back from the cemetery was made in a 'hurry on aeof the approaching storm, and thcrowd barely reached town when the rain commenced to descend in torrents. Bro. Groves An “Early Riser.” Hardly an issue of the esteemed Milford Mail reaches us without internal evidences of Bro. Groves being an early riser. Last week we read wid? interest his account of the big rain and the wonderful electric storm of last week and its direful consequences to the good people of that slumberless village. From its reading one is impelled to conclude that Bro. Groves was one of the busy ones hunting the leaky places but whether he was of the band that wore the bracelet or the sock the Mail sayeth not.
