The Electric Mall.
The electric mail service which
the Telepost committee of the
United States senate in its report
of March 4, 1915, recommends to
the consideration of the postmas
ter general, means a telegraph ser
vice throughout the United States
in conjunction with the United
States nostoffice. The rates at
I which the Telepost will give this
, service are 1 cent a word for JO
words and one-half a cent a word
for 50 words or more. The elec
tric mail service will differ from
the present telegraph service in
rates and in that the postal facili
ties would be used to collect and
deliver messages sent at the re
duced rates. In case special de
j livery or messenger service is de
] sired an additional payment of
ten cents would be required.
This service is made possible by
' the Telepost Automatic system
^ of telegraphing by which as high as
quicker than a letter, much cheap
er than a telegram.
By this service several commun
ications may be exchanged during
business hours between the busi
ness sections of all cities having
frequent postoffice collections and
deliveries.
The Telepost is now ready to in
troduce electric mail between St.
Louis and Chicago and to extend it
as rapidly as its lines are built, or
leased. _
The Plan Worked.
Verbos, a miner at Jamison, Pa.,
had a dog which he wished to get
rid of. He tied a stick of dynamite
and a tin can to the dog's tail and
fastened the dog lightly to a tree
Then he ran away, expecting the
dog to work himself loose, become
frightened on account of the can,
start running, explode the dyna
mite and be blown to bits. The
plan worked almost. The dog

Sunday Night, June 20th,
EVERYBODY CORDIALLY
INVITED TO ATTEND
1,000 words per minute can be
transmitted over a single wire.
From the point of view of the
postoffice, the Electric Mail means
a letter or card handled by the
postoffice just as any other letter
or card is today handled, with the
single exception that instead of be
ing carried by train the contents of
the letters or cards are transmitted
by wire between the two postoffices
From the point of view of the
Telepost, the electric mail means a
message sent by Telepost just as
any other telegraph message is
sent, with the difference that the
collecting of the message at one
end and the delivering of it at the
other is done by the regular collec
tors and carriers of the postoffice.
Where a message is delivered on
a post gi},rd it will be called a tele
card. which midgns 10 vyofds for
10 cents. When it is delivered in
a sealed envelop, the message is
called a telepost, which means 50
words or less for 25 cents, and 5
cents for each additional 10 words
or less. These rates will be uni
form, regardless of distance, be
tween any two points connected by
Telepost lines.
Tba electric mail will be far
broke away and, like a faitniul ani
mal, took after his master, tin can,
dynamite and all. Verbos, panic
stricken, rushed home, the dog fol
lowing. Just as Verbos reached
his door the dog caught up, the dy
namite stru k the steps and ex
ploded. wrecking the porch. The
dog was unhurt, but Verbos was
blown several feet and badly shak
en up._ _

Kitchen Kinks.
When making juicy pies, insert
two or three pieces of macaroni in
the center of the pie to stand up
right. The juice will bubble i p in
to the macaroni instead of running
over the crust.
If hash is stirred, it is better to
use a fork instead of a spoon, as it
will make the hash lighter. In
stead of stirring hash, some cooks
allow it to remain until it is nicely
browned on one side, then turn
with a pancake turner so as not
to break the crust that is formed.
This makes a nice looking dish
when the hash is slipped onto a
platter. _ _

the dryness of his town, took a trip
to Glouster where he proceeded to
slake his thirst not wissly but too
well. In his room in the hotel, he
removed his clothing and went to
sleep on the floor. He awoke to
fjnd himself glued to the fresh var
nish with which the floor had been
covered. A physician was called,
but it was necessary to give the
man chloroform before he could be
freed. He returned home minus
two large slabs of skin and a wad I
of back hair.

DESTINY OF NATIONS DEPENDS
UPON CONTENTED HOMES.
By W. D. Lewis.
President Texas Farmers' Union.
Why hi woman dissatisfied? Why
does she grow, restless nnder the
crown of womanhood? Why is she
weary of the God-given jewel of moth
erhood? Is it not a sufficient political
achievement for woman that future
rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in
her arms and kneel at her feet? Can
ambition leap to more glorious heights
than to sing lullabies to the world’s
greatest genuises, chant melodies to
master minds and rock the cradle of
human destiny?
God pity our country when the hand
shake of the politician is more grati
fying to woman's heart than the pat
ter of children’s feet.
Woman Is Ruler Over All.
Why does woman chafe under re*
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has clung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to Its motherly
folds, tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from it
youth learned to reverence and re
spect womanhood. Can man think of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when Ood has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
Can man find It In his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
the most powerful political bosses In
the country, that Ills distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that his
mother was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whither
are we drifting and where will we
land?
God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked
Nation.
I follow the plow for a living and
my views may have In them the smell
of the sol]; my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
perhaps I am a little old-fashioned
Put I believe there is more moral in
fluence in the dress of woman than in
all the statute books of the land As
an agency for morality. 1 wouldn't
gtve my good old mother's home
made gowns for all the suffragette’s
constitutions and by-laws in the world.
As a power for purifying society, 1
wouldn't give one prayer of my saintly
mother for all the women’s votes in
Christendom. As an agency tor good
government, 1 wouldn t give the plea
of a mother's heart for righteousness
for all the oaths of office in the land.
There is more power in the smile
of woman than in an act of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
laughing children than in the cab
inet ot' the president of the United
States.
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
nails The hearthstone and the fam
ily Kible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress. •
This country is law mad. Why add
to a statute book, already groaning
under its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? If we never had a
chance to vote again in a lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the oV
deal, hut without home, civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out of Congress
and forbid that women becopic step,
fathers Jo goverppient. is the prayer
of the farmers ot this country.

WHEN
HOT WEATHER
DOES SET IN,
You’ll find a good refrigerator very
i| profitable. The secret of buying a
|r refrigerator is to get one so well built
that heat can’t get in and cold can't
!l1, get out. Such a refrigerator saves
ice and keeps the temperature low
enough to save your food. The
i! LEONARD One Piece Porcelain and
\il THE KANNEY are good Refriger
,j ators. They have many unusual
points which cannot be found in any
other make. Our enormous output
, enables us to buy two solid cars for
this season, thereby securing the low
est jobbing prices. This saving we
hand on to our trade, and it is an ad
vantage. which no other dealer in this
section is able to offer.
