"Of course, wo are going to have a great deal more business than beforu, and for a time there will be some com plaints, but I have confidence that .ho public will be patient for a tlmo until we get adjusted to the new order r.t things. Criticisms and predictions hnvo come from the express companies that we would to swamped and buried In 'a short time and would fall to handle the business. Well, wo are not going to fall.

Besides,, wp will be able to use tn'ono.wuy and an other some of the old wooden mall cars that have been pushed out of service ll the coming ot the steel cars. We can use the old ones for emergencies, and nil together we expect to be able to handle tho new volume of business In good shape, and In six months it will be run ning along well." Superintendent' Slice has not. yet re ceived the pamphlet of regulations that i Is to govern the handling of the parcels post so far as the railway mall service Is concerned. .

It must also be remembered that we will be handling a larger field of business than they handled, for their deliveries endd wth the railway town, while the parcels post proposes to carry parcels Into the country by means of the rural free de livery. This Is a field that express com panies never had to cover." County Dads Buy New Suit in Place of Clothes Ruined Board of County Commissioners gave Aaron Rosenbloom 18 to reploco his clothing, practically ruined by fumigation by the county Jail authorities. Rosen bloom was a sorry sight when he stepped out ot jail to thank his attorney, M. O. Cunningham, who had procured his re lease. Cunningham took him to the county commissioners, Chairman John C. Lynch of the board, declared it a shame that a man should be sent out of Jail with his clothing ruined, especially a man who had been found to have been Imprisoned Illegally. He said Douglas county was too big to let Rosenbloom suffer and should provide new clothes for him. Other members of tho board asreed and the order was made. Rosenbloom wns convicted of wife de sertion In police oourt and g?vcn a ninety day Jail sentencel Judge Howard Ken nedy released him on a writ of error, holding the police court had no juris diction. When Rosenbloom was told he waa to be given, his liberty he shed his Jail clothes quickly. He was penniless, but he would be tree and his employers, having faith in him, had sent word he still had hut Job. Tears came into Rosonbloom s cyesi . - .. i.l- ....

The county commissioners quickly de cided to take the fumigation matter up with Sheriff McShane and Bee that In the futuro such work Is done by a method that will not ruin tho clothing.
