Reduction Of Postage Hate to 16 Cents Is for When Service Is Extended by the Postoffice (ByNewspaper Enterprise Ass'n.) New York, July 24.—The perform ance of the air mail" carriers between New York and Washington has been such as to justify further develop ment of this service in other parts of the country. A volume of business large enough to warrant will bring other air routes into operation and at the same time airpost rates will drop. If 100,000 people in the United States would send a 'letter a day by air mail the result would not only permit extend ing the service east, west and south, but would provide continuous train ing for at least 300 aviators. Letters caji be sent to any city south of Washington by airpost from New York. They make connections with regular postal routes and arrive many hours before mail sent all the way by rail. The same is true of mail sent v»i Philadelphia to points vest and also to points in New Eng land via Washington. The following new routes are under consideration now: Washington to Chicago via Wheel ing, W. Va., and Lima, O. One dav han. be saved in fhe delivery of mail by this route. The time will be cut WEBB.

Baseb&ll Men To Duluth Shipyards St. Paul, Minn., July 24.—When word was received from Washington on Friday afternoon that the work or fight order applied to ball players, baseball fans in this city were of the opinion that this order would mean an exodus of baseball players from the major leagues and the American Association to the shipyards at Du luth and Superior. It is known that these concerns have made attractive offers to various ball players, contin gent upon the enforcement of th» work or fight order. you're For the man who does business with you, That's the whole idea of trading at home.

Miss Detroit II is a hydroplane built by a Detroit millionaire on plans The other day the Bailey brothers, prosperous farmers in the northern oart of Burleigh county, bought some life insurance. The agent who made the sale was so tickled about signing up the whole family that he invited hi^ clients, ten of them, in to Bismarck to a feed. The ten Bailey brothers accepted, and when they sat down to a spread in the private dining room of the Grand Pacific, the ten of them for the first time shoved these twenty Bailey feet under the same board. They made a remarkable group. The eld est is 48 and the youngest 25. All are more than six feet tall and "built ac cording." They are big-chested, broad-shouldered Cumberland moun tain men from Wesf Virginia. Thomas I.

You are not liable to sell him a skit- n°t» you have an idea that Mr. Naybur fair profit on two good horses usually is bigger and more satisfactory generally than an unfair profit on one bad one. When a man's selling merchandise as a business, the first thing he does or seeks to do is to build up good will and a reputa- ^who accomplishes these results stays in bus- t's why they were here last year, and year before last. With some of them your grandaddy traded when he came out here in a prairie schooner with some of their grand children you grandchildren will be trading along time hence. A square deal with the home merchant is a mere matter of ordinary business good sense. He knows that, even were he/so in clined—and we're proud to believe that we haven't any of that brand in business in Bis marck—he couldn't hook you today and ex pect to catch your neighbor tomorrow. And when he says "bring it back if it isn't satis factory," he means that, for he can much better afford to take a loss on you than to have you dissatisfied. The biggest capital the average merchant has is his good will. Without good will, with out a reputation for playing fair and doing business on the square, without a belief on the part of his community that he's honest adn sincere and a man who wants to see his neighbors do well, the goods on his shelf wouldn't be worth to him 75 Cents on the dol lar on the purchase price. Think it over, and see if it isn't pretty Sound gospel. IRON and JUNK HIGHEST PRICES PAID For Men's cast off Suita, Coat* and Shoes. WE ALSO BUY JUNK OF ALL KINDS IN HANDFUL OR CARLOAD LOTS.

COLEMAN'S NEW AND 2ND water craft tfrtd it was not until the hydroplane type was invented that it was proved that this extreme speed was attainable. The boats are built to emilinate practically all water resistance, the body of the boat leaving the water when extreme speed is reacher'. and the bone and brawn they devel oped then has been handed down to the present generation, which pre sents about as handsome a spectacle of upstanding, stalwart American manhood as one could find in ten states. The Bailey boys enjoyed the feed they enjoyed getting together for the first time in their lives, and after the dinner was over they all went to a movie show and then ad journed to the Butler studio and had their pictures taken in a group. Mother Eailcy, who is still alive and hale and hearty, will be mighty proud of that picture. Series Clioosinfjs. Life is one loim -ries ot choosings. is a S a leave undone?

Meadow Trials South Dakota's Newest Offering •Moliridge. S. !)., July 24.—Meadow trials may become distinctly popular in South Dakota. Several weeks ago, it was an nounced that the heavy demand for farm labor and the absolute neces sity .for farmers to remain on the job until after I ho harvest, made it necefe sary for court officials to do one or two thiugs—to exempt farmers from jury duty, or to hold the cases in the country. The first plan is being tested. One meadow trial took place this week and mOre may be held. A case is to be tried at Timber Lake. The'attorneys went there and found that the judge was on his farm, near that city. The delegation then went to the home of Judge Raymond L. Dillman. of the Twelfth circuit and found him shocking rye. "Why not tr.y the case here," some one suggested. "Suits me," said the judge. We are very particular about the kind of printing we turn out. Nothing but the best workmanship leaves our plant.
