THAT MISDIRECTED MAIL A postal item says it costs the Phil adelphia postoffice around $30,000 a year to look after misdirected mail ; matters. If that extra expense is noted in other large cities, the drain on postoffice receipts must be very large. Then must be considered the many smaller cities, as well as towns, and the aggregate must reach sever al millions, all through the careless ness and indifference of the people. This rank carelessness in addressing mail matter is by no means confined to private citizens, for business firms are by no means as careful as they might and should be. The govern- ' at such pains to correct mistaKes or users of the mails, and the additional expense is an item that some clay may be consider ed. But many letters and mail par cels have really blind addresses, with sutji as cannot be deliveied sent to the dead letter office where exper ienced clerks try it all over again. service is located in Washington and is ano,lur factor in making up the millions appropriated every year to operate the postoffice department.

These articles often comprise currency, drafts, checks, jewelry and toilet articles and the ioss is not the fault of t;e niails, but f)f carelessness, more or less stupid- ity and forgetfulness. i X iT- .Udliuuu. .

Perhaps Dr. Butler has been depressed by the heavy rains in England, and again he may be Edison is something of a genius, that ! men of genius are at work in labora- tories, and some think that one may ue foumi on Wall street. But is it true that no colossal fig- ure was produced by the World War? Lenin will not qualify in the opinion cf many who hate his philosophy, and j yet he destroyed an ancient society in a mighty empire and established something different which has thus far, for 10 years, withstood the at tacks of the world. Genius or not, history cannot dismiss him from con sideration. Some will insist that Mus solini qualifies. Neither is admir able to real Americans, but neither was Napoleon, who was the colossal figure that emerged from the wars of more than a century ago. The little Franco-Prussian War produced a genius in Biswark, but he changed Germany not nearly so radically as Lenin has changed Rus sia, and no more than Mussolini has changed Italy. And time alone will fix the status of Woodrow Wilson, who gave the world the most inspiring message and ideals in centuries.

You Will 3e Pleased WiJh The 1927 Fair At Lincoln, Sept. 4-9 UNCLE SAM'S TIRELESS HAND An illuminating illustration of the inexorable hand of justice when manifested by the national govern ment is that of the final capture of the three men who .several years ago. robbed a mail train and killed three of the train crew in the coldest blooded manner imaginable. For months not the slightest clew could be obtained, but the agents of the department of justice continued their tireless search; if it had been any other branch cf service of city or state government, it is ten to one that the effort would have been aban doned after the first few months. But it is not for nothing that the federal officers have won a great rep utation for clinging to the trail un til they get their man; it has always been said that offenders against the law need not fear a whole lot if they only have the ordinary means of pur suit to fear, but that it the Blood hounds of the secret service are ever let loose, the end is always the same. So the hunt went on, month after month; clews were obtained in var ious parts of the United States, in Canada and even in the army service in the Philippines. But each one, when run down, proved to be found ed only on suspicion. But a few clays ago came the end when the last two rif the three brothers were taken into custody, confessed and sentenctd to life imprisonment. . An interesting phase of the con fession obtained from one of the them was that he had never been able to get away from the ringing of the locomotive bell as one of the train crew wa3 shot. Thus conscience keeps up its steady goad in the mind of the man who commits murder. : o : QUOTAS AND SERVANTS Tormented by the servant problem, some well intentionad ladies have lately been urging an amendment to the immigration law so as to let down, the bars to permit the entry cf more domestic servants. But is that where the chief trouble lies? Not in the view of the department of labor. According to its bureau of labor sta tistics, the real difficulty seems to be that both native and foreign-born prefer other ways of making a living. To anyone who has studied the statistics that conclusion is inevi table. Despite the steady stream of immigrant domestic workers during the decade before 1920, the total number of foreign-born domestic ser vants in this country kept dwindling. The regular hours and larger free dom offered by industry made as strong an appeal to them as it did to the native-born. Another thing that casts doubt on the blameworthiness of the immigra tion law is the fact that "there has been no important decrease in the immigration law is the fact that "there has been no important de crease in the immigration of alien fe males belonging to the races from which domestic servants have been chiefly drawn." :a: Playing golf may help if you're in bad shape, but it doesn't seem to im prove the shape of your legs. Keep Fit! Qood HealthRequiresQood Elimination TO be well, you must keep the blood stream free from impur ities. If the kidneys lag, allowing body poisons to accumulate, a toxic condition is created.

Mr. James is president of the Otoe County Anti-Chicken Stealing asso ciation. The loss was not learned until late Wednesday evening when Mrs. James upon going to a brooder house found that instead of finding a crowded booder. it was less than half filled. She told her husband of the theft anil he in turn came to the city and notified SheniT Carl Ryder. The James family raised a large flock of chickens this season, prob ably S00. The older ones were kept in three large chicken houses on the place while the frys were kept in the brooder. A small door at one end of the brooder is kept open and the chickens are out in the yard by the time the family arises of a morn ing but it is a custom of Mrs. James to see that they are in the brooder each evening. These chickens aver aged about three pounds each and were of the White and Buff Orpington breed. Chickens in the other houses were not molested by the thieves which gives rise to the belief of Mr. James that the thieves were familiar with the premises. The larger chicken houses are at a greater distance from the residence than the brooder but it was evidently young chickens that the thieves were after, Mr. James says. Sheriff Ryder immediately tele phoned to poultry dealers in this sec tion of the country to be on the look out for the chickens but up to a late hour Thursday had not found a trace of them. Mr. James is a member of the Nebraska Farmer association which offers a $50 reward for the capture and conviction of each chicken thief and he offers a similar reward for their apprehension and conviction. Ue told the sheriff that his family had never felt uneasy about the younger chickens being stolen as the brooder was much nearer the house than the others. The family had slept soundly Tuesday night and had heard no unusual sounds about the place. Nebraska City News-Press. E0EDEKER FAMILY ARE TRANSFERRED TO OMAHA F. A. Boedeker and family who recently went to Minneapolis to make their home and where Mr. Boedeker was the general manager for the Michael Oil company will make their home in Omaha iu the future. Mr. Boedeker has secured a much better position with the oil company in Omaha which accounts for the change being made. They have shipped their household effects from Minneapolis and will be at home in Omaha just as soon as a suitable home can be secured. Mr. Boedeker and family came to Nehawka Wednesday evening for a short visit with relatives here while their goods were en route to Omaha and until a house could be found. Mr. Boedeker's father. Ad.
