FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1929 WHA*rWILL POSTMASTER GENERAL DO ON ‘FRANKING* Poastmaster General Walter Brown cornea from Ohio and o f course we as citizens o f the state or all interested in his administration o f that branch o f the government. Just at pre­ sent Mr. Brown is investigating the “ franking” rights o f con­ gressmen and government departments. For years the press o f the country had pointed at this unjust privilege granted to congressmen who have abused that right beyond any doubt. Sending “ franked” mail cp&te the government several mil­ lion dollars each year and the public, gets little or no benefit from it. Congressmen send furniture, automobile tires, the fam ily laundry, in fa c t what ever can be sent through the mail goes free fo r those who hold this postal right. Plainly speaking the “ frank” is a species o f graft that has government sanction because those who attempt to justify it and make it legal are the only persons that can use it. Free matter sent by congressmen costs everybody something f o r the railroads get just as much fo r hauling “ franked” mail as first class mall paid fo r by the individual citizen. Postmaster General Bjrown has a big undertaking on his hands when ,he goes to meddling with the business o f the congressmen. BEFRIENDING THE.BIRDS Fourteen years ago the Farm Journal set aside the second Friday o f April— this year the 12th— as “ Bird Day.” The magazine founded at the same time a club which now numbers some 916,900 youthful members. Millions o f American children will observe the day this year. But most o f them are on farms and in the rural districts. City folks o f all ages should cooper­ ate in giving a thought to the birds. The growth o f the cities has pushed the birds back, Where they have not already deserted city backyards fo r fa irer coun try they should be encouraged to stay, Civilization .has made inroads on the ranks o f the wild songbirds'■and insect-eaters which it is to man’s advantage to protect; Laws have been in­ voked in many states to this end, but they .must be supported by individual cooperation i f they are to be effective. Every com­ munity should have its bird sanctuary,.and the homeowner should help by planting trees, shrubs and vines that will attract birds and provide them with feeding facilities. The winter birds need shelter and fo od which man is best able to furnish them, but natural plant growth is the ideal summer, refuge fo r the feathered folks. A s yet there is no national bird day, but the selection o f the agricultural magazine could well stand f o r that purpose. It ■comes appropriately when most of. the migrating birds have returned after, the winter absence and are seeking desirable spring and summer quarters, which man can do much to pro­ vide. . — Dayton News: A STIR IN WASHINGTON SOCIETY Down in Washington, D. C „ there is a new topic fo r con­ versation outside o f the prohibition enforcement department ' playing tag with dry voting congressmen who have liquer on them. The subject under discussion may or may not interest the average citizen but he or she should be because the standing o f V ice President Curtis is in question due to the fact.that he is a w idower and Washingtorl society demands a hostess. The Vice President, desires to have at his side his sister, Mrs. Gann, who has a husband, Mr. A lbert Gann. According . to society rules there is some question whether Mrs. Gann Can be admitted in the ranks o f the elite above th e wives o f foreign diplomats. The gravest question is where to put the husband o f the V ice President’s hostess, Albert. Meantime authorities are being searched fo r a precedent to keep th e V ice President satisfied and yet take care o f the fore ign nobility that graces most o f Washington’s social events. The desires o f the Vicb President to have at his side may b,e recogn ized at the table add they may be well up towards the starting line fo r the artichockes and the strawberries. When A lbert Gann takes his seat, i f he gets by the doorkeeper, who is not supposed to admit one lady with tw o escorts, it may be near the service table where the green onions and radishes repose until serving time. I f the press reports are correct'and the foreign legations are permitted to receive their liquor by the truck load fo r state . occasions where the observance o f society rules come first, we imagine after two or three servings o f Champaign the rules will be laid on the shelf in the butler’s pantry. Washington society must have its moments and formality must be recognized even though other things must suffer the attention o f the nation’s leaders. A t bast ne dry voting con­ gressmen should have to carry a bottle on his hip to a foreign legation party. What he carried home, unless disorderly,.at best could only cost him ?5 and the costs in the case f o r plain intoxication, a term that may not be in the social dictionary. it&nKiMfiiiniiiiiiiiiin.........itm tiitium ilm itm im iiiiiiH iih im m iiiii,^ F U R N I T U R E REPAIRED and UPHOLSTERED A t Prices In Reach Of Everybody CharlesHHoerner PHONE v Cedmilk 148 ^ Res.
