INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT
OF A PUBLIC INDUSTRY
v g
' Washington, July .18.—The interest
of peorple in public affairs is consider
ably neizhtened when they learn that
the revenues of the government are.
wigely and judiciously managed. A
statemcent of economical expenditure
which iz susceptible of proof will al
ways atiract attention and please the
thoughtful reader.
Amocag the varied industrial enter
prises of the Post Office Department in
Washington is an establishment de
voted entirely to the manufacture of
mail locks and the bag attachments
aused in mail transporiation. When
this administration came into power,
the dopartment sorely needed an im
proved type of mail lock. The shop
was immediately reorganized, placed
on a business basis, and its activities
enlargod so as to meet this imperative
demand. Within a very short time a
new and greatly improved lock had
been devised and its production begun.
The lock in use weighed 5 1-2 ounces,
‘the new one weighs 2 1-4 ounces. As
430,000 of this new procduct have been
put into service, tho difference in
weight (the governmnt paying as
much for the equipment as it does for
the mail itself) can be easily calculat
ed. The locks replaced by this new
and betier sivle cost 21 cents each to
make. Those now heing used and man
ufactured cost B§l-2 cents, direct and
fndirect charges considered, the sav
dng ‘hus shown on original cost of
prodiaction to date amounting to $52.-
M5O. Of the old style, 26,600 were an
nually returned for repair at a cost of
‘about § cents each. Of the new style,
out of tiie great numbor sent into ser
vice, hut 906 have been returned, and
as these new style locks can be re
paired at a cost of 3 cents each, the
annual caving on this item will amount
to over $2.100.

commercial tortoise shell of high grade

BACKING THEIR EMPLOYEES '
IN THE NATIONAL GUARD ‘
Full pay while absent; at least as
good a position when they return as
they are leaving; and the company’s
thanks for their readiness to do their
duty—such is the (reatment accorded
those employees of the General Roof
ng Maonufacturing company, who have
‘hm'n cadled to serve with the colors in
the national guard.
[ This company, manufacturers of the
widely advertised Certain-Teed FP'ro
ducts, has twenty-one sales ofiices, four
factories and about twenty-five ware
houses over the country. Officials at
the aome oflice in St. Louis could
give no estimate of the number of men
in their employ who would be called
or what their going would cost the
company in continuing their salaries
althougn it was thought that this
might he a considerable item.
“1t is as little as we can fairly do
for these mea,” was the word sent by
the president of the company, George
M. Brown, who is spernding the sum
mer it Oyster Bay, Long Island. Mr.
Brown has been consistently in the
front rank in St. Louis and in the mid
dle wost in advecatirg preparedness
for ‘lefeonse. As chairman of the St.
Louis hranch of the National Securi
ty League he was an instigator and
pritne factor in the gros¥® preparedness
parade in St. Louis, on June 3rd.. He
is a graduate ¢f West P'oint and his
opinion on matters pertaining to the
trmlmr\":: defense is as much respect
ed as is his jodgment in the aifairs
of the company which he has directed
with such remarkable success. Mr.
Brown looks forward te universal ser
vice, when such circumstances as now
confront the nation will find every man
fit and ready to immediately take his
place. <

AMERICA'S WONDERFUL RESOUR-]
CES AND UNPARLLELED BEAU
TIES STRIKINGLY PORTRAYED.I
Washington, July 18.—How pecul
jiarly blest are the American peoplel
not only in that they have been spar
ed the horrors of the great war now
devastaling most of Europe, but in the}
wonderful resources and unparalleled
bheauties of the country itself, is strik
ingly set forth in a communication to
| the National Geographic Society from
|its director and editor, Mr. Gilbert H.
| Groveaor. A part of the communica
!tion, issued as a bulletin today from
| the Society’'s Washington’s headquar
' ters, says:
“Rarely has there been afforded a
| more ‘mpressive illustration of the
| stateinent that it pays to advertise
) | than is to be found in the story of the
) | endless stream of tourssts hastening
)| to Europe during the several decades
: before thieh great war, 7
“The appeal of the art treasures
’ and associations of the Old World,
)| which s the ‘original home of all
) | Americans, is really nnt sufficient ex
) | planation of the fact that until last
’ yvear 100 American tourists were
| crossing the Atlantic to one Ameri
'l can tourist who crossed the TUnited
) | States. The delightful literature
) | which the Huropean travel bureaus
)|and steamship companies placed at
) | our Jdisposal so whetted our appeptite
|for a review of the lakes of Ireland
‘|and Scotland, of the castles on the
| Rhine and Danube, of the scenes
| made famous by Shakespears, Dick
lens, Vietor Hugo, and Goethe that
| we turned our backs upon scenery
| more bheautiful, wild f'ower gardens
' and forests incomparabiy finer, moun
tains lore supberb, and lakes more
{radiant {han any to be seen in the
'|lands across the Atlantic.
» “It is true that one finds a more
lancient culture in Europe. It is also
| true that he finds more splendid ar
chiteccare. And likewise it is true
|that he nnds there better art; for be
fore America was born into the fam
ily of nations Europe had castles and
cathedrals and masterpieces of art
and sculpture.
“But in that architecture which is
| voiced in the glorious iemples of the
sequoia grove and in the castles of
the Graad Canyon, in that art which
is mirrored in American lakes, which
is painted in geyser hasins and fres
coed upon the side wall of the
mighticst canyons, there is a maj_os;ty
and an appeal that the mere handi-,
work of man, splendid thought it may
| be, can never rival.
“Nor is our country lacking in hal
lowed and historic spets. It Water
loo, ‘vhere Napoleon's star of empire
set foraver, any more sacred to the
American heart than Appomattox,
where a new nation was born out of
the throes of internecine strife? Are
Austerlitz and Wagramn, with their
high tides of the French empire, of
soil more sacred or atmosphere more
hallowyed than Valley Forge and Get
tysburg, Plymouth Rock, Independ-
Bdnce iiall, and Mr. Vernon? Does
London or Paris or Berlin contain
more of inspiration {¢ us as a peo
ple than Washington, the Nation's
capitai?
“We nave wandered far to Ind the
picturesque and the magnilcent and
yvet it ‘s mot entirely provincial phi
losophy which says that New York is
in many ways the most wonderfu!
and most striking, the most interest
ing of a« cities of theh earth; neither
it it onty the voice of the man who

nounces Yellowstone Park the most

brary; nor yet is it the narrow pride
of the spread-eagle orator alone that
awards 1o the Grand Canyon and the
Yosemiie and the Big Trees first place
among tiie wonder sceaes of the globe.
“Luray Cave, in Virginia, and
Mammotih Cave, in Kentucky, surpass
in originality and grandeur any caves
in Europe, while Niagara IFalls has
no rival ‘n Europe or in Asia, and our
American forests are thte glary of the

PEACH CROP DAMAGED
BY INCESSANT RAIN
Fort Valley, Ga., July 12.—Heavy
rains have wrought havoc with the
crops ' this county. The wheat crop
will suffer greatly.. The oat crop had
been injured to some extent before
the raia and this will cut the yield of
oats 10 per cent. The farmers in the
lowlanls have been the greatest suf—‘
ferer, as they did not have time to
gather their corn and much of it was
washel away. The Flint river, near
here, is over its banks. One bridge
has al-eady been wasbed out and rail
road cfficials are watching all bridges
in this vicinity. All crops near this.|
‘stream have been practically wiped‘
out.
The greatest sufferer from the rains, |
though, is the peach grower. The
rainy weather has kept the grower
from picking peaches as closely as he
should and those neglected until the
next day are in such bad condition
that they cannot be shipped. When
the packers get the peaches they are
so wet and dirty that it is very diffi
cult to make a pretty pack. Incessant
rain nas also caused tlic peaches to
ro on the trees.
veake ¢xd Ohio Canal from Wash
ington to Cumberland, or the historic
Mohawk Valley of the Erie Canal—a
desert with colors as heavenly as
those of the Sahara and, though de
void of picturesque.camels and Arabs
adorned with the most extraordinary
cacti and desert vegetation on earth,
and studded with marvelous works of
the huinaen hand like Salt Lake City;
great iresh water lakes, on which you
can take a voyage of one thousand
miles on ocean liners; Alaska, posses
sing the grandest glaciers in the
world outside the polar region, fiords
more impressive than Norway’s and
mountains like Mr. McKinley, which
towers nearly one mile higher than
the loftiedt peak in Furope.

water and limestone phosphate
on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out
all the sour fermentations, gases;
waste and acidity and gives one
a splendid appetite for breakfast.
While you are enjoying voun

The millions of peope who

sickly eomplexions are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone

which will cost but little, but is
