FOR BETTER MAIL SERVICE
From all over Alaska comes com
plaints for improved mail conditions.
Even where postoffices yield re
ceipts enough to entitle them to
the improvements given offices in
outside states, there is the same
c< mplaint
People in Fairbanks do not set
hardly any seccad-class reading mat
ter during the winter months, and
In some of the more isolated dis
tricts the neople are lucky even it'
they secure Christmas first-class
mail before the Fourth of July.
While the interior people are the
greatest sufferers, the mail facili
ties for Southeastern Alaskan towns,
measured by the population, are far
more adequate. There is scarcely a
community but has just complaints.
And yet the yostoffice department
is cutting down expenses Instead of
trying to meet conditions and im
prove them—Juneau Dispatch.
VOIR MONEY
A correspondent from a small
Pennsylvania city has nominated as
promoters of a new club, to be
called the "Spend More Club," the
proprietors of salary at:d chattel
loaa offices; those who conduct in
stallment furniture and house furn
ish ii g stores; the credit clothing
sellers, and those persuasive sales
men tv ho let you have jewelry on
the am&l 1-paymen t- d o w n-a n d -a-<o> •
taiu-sum-each-weck plan.
"Talk about getting stung with
"watered stock:' " he writes. "I
have quit railing agaiast Wall strce
since I began to study conditions
in my own circle. 'Watered stock'
from head to foot, and in every
room in the house!
"I didn't mean in the house and
on the persons of the lazy or in
competent, but among these who
make from*$100 a month up—those
who might easily accumulate a
savings account of J 1,500 in five or
sis years of judicious thrift. 1
mean those who are caught in the
current of competition to have the
same gaudy furnishings as their
neighbors, wear the same late fa
shions la clothiug, and belong to
the same number of fraternal organ
izations.
"These are kept stripped to their
last penny. Tradesmen who serve
them, mechanics who repair their
little houses never know where
their pay is coming from.
"Tbe$e initiates into the Spend
More club maintained by the in
stallment sellers and loan offices he
come the 'deadbeats' of our little
city. We know them and their
history. Spending gets a grip on
them, and they cannot shake off
the habit until every cent
they make and every cent they can
borrow is gone.
"There comes a tide when these
Spend Mo-re club members are poor

They lose their homes and become

siiabbiness increases, th«ir credit

SAKE BLOWERS MAKE A
RIG HAl'Ii IN ST. I'Al'L
St. Paul, Jan. 10—Safo blowers
made one of tho largest hauls ever
recorded lu the police annals of
tho Northwest when the door of

Saturday and tho place looted.
12. C. Lynch, internal revenue col
le. tor, today estimated that the
robbers secured $5,000 in cash
and also escaped with possibly $1,
OOC,000 worth of internal revenuo
stamps. Tho robbers knew just
wha» the*' were about because they
took only negotiable stamps leav
ing the unnegotiable stamps in
tho vault.
The police announced today they
have absolutely no clues and bo
lieve the work was done by the
cleverest safe crackers remaining
outside prison walls.
