EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT
OF PU3LI0 INDUSTRY
niotisaml of Dollar Saved AninuJIv
by Introduction of Modern Meth
ods in Postoflice Department
The Interest of people In public af
' ilrs is considerably heightened when
hey learn that the revenues of the
overnment are wlrely and Judicious
ly managed. A statement of econom
ical expenditure which is susceptible
of proof will always attract attention
md please the thoughtful reader.
Among the varied industrial enter
prises of the Postoflice Department
n VnMngton Is en establishment
devoted entirely to the manufacture
of mail lochs and the bag attach
ments used in mail transportation.
When this administration came into
power, the department sorely needed
an Improved type of mall lock. Tho
thop was Immediately reorganized,
placed on a business basis, and its ac
tivities enlarged so as to meet this
imperative demand. Within a very
short time a new and greatly improv
ed lock had been devised and its pro
duction begun. "" " ;
The lock in ube weighed 5 V.
ounces; , the new one weighs 2 4-5
ounces. As 430,000 of this new pro
duct have been put into service, (he
difference In wclght. (the government !
Paying as much for the weignt of :
equipment as it does for the mail It
self) can be easily calculated. The
locks replaced by this new and better
style coat 21,. cents. each to make;
those now being manufactured cost
4 cents, direct and indirect charges
i vnldered, the-saving thus shown on
oiiktual tobl-of production to date
aHnountlnj to 153,750.- Of the old!
style, "Be. 000 were annually returned
for. repair at a".c8t of about 9 cents i
wtff, tr y!i new style, out, or tne
Kreat , nuiuher" smt Into the service,
but 906 uvWe! returned." arid as
thejse. pew style locks can be repaired
Lat "fc,cosr of 'J renta each", the annual
Staving on tpls. Item will an.outu to:
over 12,100: " 5
' The depar' mentTias In this admin
istration encouraged Its employes to"
give. their best service to ihe govern
ment and many Instances have re
cently come to notice wherein the de
partment has greatly profited by this
wise public policy. In the lock shop'
a recent achievement In'thls' diree-''
tion Is an Improved cord fastener, the
work of three of its employees,- for
use on. bags; .also one designed for
locking large quantities of parcel
post matter, which , has heretofore
been without this protection. It can
be made at a very low price, requir
ing less material and a fewer number
of operations. The significant part
of this lies In the great number re
quired In the service, between three
and four millions, the output being
500,000 annually. As the cost has
been reduced by the new method
from '4 H to 3 cents each, it will be
seen what a splendid showing this
makes for administrative economy.
Another valuable Improvement has
been the perfected locking cord fas

tener designed for uae on tie Backs,
something which the department for
years has needed, and vainly endeav
ored to accomplish. This device will
be of great value to the postal service
at large by Increasing the capacity
and efficiency of mall bags to a de
gree difficult to estimate. The mod
ern system of business methods and
the proper encouragement of employ
ees to take an active and earnest in
terest in their work, both of which
desirable features this administration
of the department has favored and
put into practice. Is responsible for
the many Improvements . made and
the advantages gained.
Active experiments are constantly
being made for the betterment of the
service. For many years a tremen
dous expense has been the labeling of
the Inunrn-e quantity of mail bags In
use. Th form of label usd in the
past and still used by clerks all over
the country la tbe doubling and re
folding of wat Is known as a "facing
slip." The preparation of these la
bels by thu thousands has been and Is
an expensive proposition, yet there
appears to have been no effort on the
part of previous administrations Jo
progress from the old method. Un
der present direction a perforated la
bel In Bheets and runs lias been de
signed which Is practically ready for
use when furnished to employees.
Kvery postal clerk in the country and
thousands of postoflice employees will
Dud this new method of great advan
tage and it will result In a large
economy in the service.
There havo also been some other
notable improvements made, viz., the
substitution of steel where brass was
formerly used, at a very considerable
lessening of expense; a device for fas
tening foreign mail pouches, dolnp
away with the old-fashioned method
of string and seal; a scheme for sav
ing twine by means of a simple hold
er which permits free and easy use
without waste, and a flexible stamp
design, for which the contract price
was 34 cents, but which will now be
made at a cost of but 8 cents. A me
chanical pickup or facing table for
use in facing and stacking letters In
first-class post offices has also been
developed and will soon be perfected.
This device is considered superior to
those now in use and costs less than
one-third as much to manufacture.
Those at present In use cost approxi
mately $1,500.
It will thus be seen that the activi
ties of the Postoflice Department have
been centered along lines which will
not only produce large economies to
the people of the country, but will al
so prove a great convenience to those
in the service. During the past three
years two objects have been kept con
stantly in view, vie. saving the pub
lie money wherever possible and
serving the people to the fullest ex
tent. There was room for great Im
provement and there has been much
accomplished. It is but common Jus
tice to award due credit In these ad
ministrative reforniB to the fourth as
sistant postmaster general, in whose
bureau these measures of economy
were developed and who has so faith
fully devoted his time to that pur-

POTATO MARKET HEWS
United Ktate ltopartment of Agrl
culture Conducts News Market
Service on l"otaUH
The Department of Markets, which
was represented by C. E. Bassett, of
Washington, who this spring spoke to
the growers, dealers and business
men on "Marketing Problems of the
Potato Growers and Dealers", Is now
conducting a Market News Service on
potatoes. Representatives of this of
fice are stationed In the following
markets: Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, Buffalo. Chicago, Minneapo
lis, Pittsburg, St. Louts, and Kansas
City. Arrangements have been made
to secure information regarding mar
ket prices and conditions in all other
Important markets.
Every morning through' their rep
resentatives or temporary connec
tions In the cities, they receive teleg
raphic reports which show the num
ber of cars of each commodity which
have been unloaded during the pre
vious twenty-four hours together
I with the districts In which they orig
inated; the prevailing Jobbing prices;
! tbe general quality and condition of
the commodities from each Important
commreclal district, as well as the
ev ii us at j ta i nxr v wiiuiiiviio s ua uc
mands, and the general weather con
ditions prevailing that morning on
also will be summarized.
The whole or part of either sum
mary will be sent to any person need
ing 'his information, either by mall,
free, or by wire, day letter collect.
Thus anyone can secure a report re
garding the car-lot movement out of
any one or several competing areas,
or concerning the market conditions
In one or all of the principal mar
I kets, for any Important fruit or vege-
I laoie.
It is possible providing the funds
. of the department are not too limit
I ed to secure a representative to be
located In the Northwest Nebraska
,potato area during shipping season,
i Then the dally bulletin published will
contain the carload shipment of po
tatoes from northwestern Nebraska,
their destinations, diversion, quality.
etc.
. About 800,000 cars of potatoes are
handled by the railroads each year.
i Of this number northwest Nebraska
.supplies between 6,000 and 6,000
cars. - So It depends upon tne im
portance of area and the strength of
petitions being circulated for this
service, whether the department can
give this service.
Anyone who needs the dally mar
ket news bulletin on potatoes can re
ceive this by mall, free, or by tele
gram, day letter collect, by giving
na;, : ddress, etc., to the county ag-rlc-.iliural

IF HI IS IRK
GfiAY. USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darken and Beautify
Faded Hair.
That beautiful, even shade of dark.
glossy bair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, .turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its
- appearance a hundredfold.
- aJon't- bother to prepare the mixture;
yon xan get this famous old recipe im
proved by the addition of other ingredi
ents for 60 cents a Urge bottle, all ready
tor use. It is called Wyeth'a Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always be
depended' upon to bring back the natural
color- and lustre of vour hair.
Everybody uses 'Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it dark
ens so naturally-and evenly tuU nobody
ean tell it has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and drsw this through the bair, taking
one small strand st a time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes beauti
fully dark and appears glossy and lus
trous. This ready-to-use preparation is
a delightful toilet requlste for those wbo
deelrt. dark hair a&d a youthful apar
ance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.-
