rather poorly for the past few weeks
and is kept to her bed a part of the
time, but at ether times is able to
be up and about doing her work.
Joseph Armstrong, with a force of
seven men, is getting the streets of
Alvo in good condition and with some
pardonable pride is able to point to
the improved condition of the city.
The Alvo schools were holding
their midwinter examinations last
week and getting ready for the pro
nu tions which occur at the conclu
sion of the half year's school work.

and as a rev ard for his diligence in
j Simon had tossed his hat into the
air four times and Cay had fired at
an equal number of times, being
but a short distance away, it was
found that the headpiece was still
undamaged. It would seem that Gay
can sheet rabbits better than he can
targets, or perhaps he just scared
them to death.

Elmer Rcscnow, who for some time
has been employed as a salesman In
stores here and later at Elmwood,
with a change in the proprietorship
of tbc business at that place, found
himself out of a job and has con

on his own account. By the end of
this week he will open a grocery in
the room east of the Alvo bank. Mrs.
Resenow is postmistress and has the
office located in the same building,
so now they will conduct the busi
ness bath in the same room.

Postal Business
Shows a Declin
Farley Reports
Faliinf Off for tlie Third Successive
Year with Consequent Deficit
in That Department.
Washington. Decline of postal;
business for the third successive year
and a postal deficit of $112374,892
were reported to the president by
Postmaster General Farley. "Even be-
fore the depression began," Farley;
said in his annual report, "the period
of constantly increasing postal re
ceipts was approaching an end, the
records of the department clearly in
dicating it was probably due to
changed methods of advertising and
merchandising."
Saying the postoffice department
was "the largest single employer of
labor in the country, if not in the
world," the postmaster general re
ported the numberof employes as
235,573 persons, a drop from the peak
of 254,946 reached Dec. 31, 1920.
Expenditures for the year were $700,-
00G,25G, a decline oi" ?93,71G,277
Revenues totaled $5S7,G31,3G4, a de
crease of $540,55 8. The gross defi
ciency cf revenues was $112,374,S92,
compared with $205,550(011 the pre
vious year.
An attack on the deficit was made
hru substantial i eductions for trans
portation, rent, supplies and equip
ment but the principal saving was
made in expenditures for personal
services. Approximately SO millions
vas saved in payrolls, with 5S mil
lions cf it attributable to reductions
thru economy legislation. The re
mainder was thru normal ieduction
In personnel.
Pointing out that ?45.2G4,945 was
paid in shipping and commercial avia
tion subventions and $15,335,035
' orth of mail service was performed
tree for congress and the govern
ment. Farley said deduction of those
amounts made $50,GS3.G05 the true
deficit attributable to postal trans
actions alone. A year ago the deficit
jn that basis was $152,24G,1SS.
Predicts a Larger Volume.
Increase in icverne? due to the 3
,-ent postage rate was estimated at 75
millions. As business onditions im
prove. Farley told the president, the
department believed it could look for-
.vard to a gradual increase in the vol
ume cf the mails and with contin
uation of the present postage rates an
ineerase cf 15 millions over expected
receipts cf the pre.ent year may be
.ooked for next year.
Farley said that in the absence oi
further legislation the letter postage
rate automatically reverts to 2 cents
July 1 next. Should that occur he
estimated receipts would shew a 60
million dollar decline compared with
.his year, unless thc-re was a substan
ial improvement in business. Other
.emporary provisions of the economy
legislation, unless re-enacted, he re
ninded, also cease July 1. Their dis
continuance would add SG millions
to annual charges and bring a 190
million dollar gross revenue deficiency
for the next year.
The postmaster general made no re
commendation for placing first, sec
ond and third class postmasters un
der the civil service, but the presi
dent has asked him to study legis
lation for such a change. There are
15,029 such postmasters, which with
fourth class postmasters, already un
der civil service, make a total of 4u,-i
2G1 in the postal service.
The foreign airmale was reported,
to have performed nearly 100 per-
cent service scheduled on all routes.!
The domestic airmail established a'
record for safety, Hying 35,909,811 j
miles, carrying G, 741, 788 pounds of
mail, with onlv one fataltiv to pilots:
to each 4.48S.726 miles flown. The,
average cost per mile of domestic air
mail wa:; 54 cents against 02 cents
last year and 79 cents two years ago.
Postal savings ended the year with
deposits of $l,!j03,S42,759, an in-1
crease of 40S,490,725 over the prev-j
ious year end. Recommendation!
again was made to increase the limit
of individual deposits from $2,500 to
$5,000, for which bills new are pend
ing in congress.
Second class publications showed a
22.54 percent decrease in the year,
total mailings having been 0G8,C54,
05G pounds on which $18,151,110 in
postage was paid.
