BETTER SEE VICE CAMPAIGN
AMERICAN RAILWAY EXPRESS
"Making Good With The Public Slo
gan Drive."
A cecond educational campaign to
bring the public into closer touch
with the internal operaitons of the
express business is being conducted
by the local express forces, according
to a statement made by agent E, B.
Council.
The rew effort, which is being di
rected chiefly at the employes of the
American Railway Express Co., is
called th "Making Good With the
Public" drive, and the meetings held
thus far lave been widely attended
by the esprersmen. The Better Serv
ice (JarnjrUgn will conclude with a
rally cn June 9. .
The marked success of the initial
campaign to secure better packing
and better marking of express ship
ments, a few months ag5, led the
express officials to probe deeper into
the causes of the inefficient opera
tion, due. in part to lack of intimate
knowledge with the rules and regu
lations governing the handling of ex
press matter.
One of the striking results of the
better packing and better marking
movement, it is announced, ia the
great reduction in. number of "No
Mark" shipments left on the express
company's hands each month, with
out any means of identification. Be
fore an effort to improve conditions
was made, 25,500 of these undeliver
ed packages were each month sent
to the various "No Mark" bureaus,
in different parts of the country
This monthly average has been grad
ually reduced until the April figures
show only 7,642, a majority of which
were identified and sent to their
proper destination. This represents
a very small proportion of this 300,
000,000 shipments handled annually
A marked reduction in the number
of claims presented for lost or mis
handled shipments is also noticeable.
The willingness of the shipping
public to meet the express company
hs.lf way, in this matter, Agent E.
B. Council raid yesterday, has led the
compp.ny to give attention to other
subjects needing improvement. As
ha result of the public co-operation,
yie slogan "Make Good With the
Public' has been adopted . for the
concluding meetings of the drive.
Get-together meetings of the ex
pressmen in every city and town in
tho country, served by a railroad, are
being held simultaneously with tho
local gatherings. Specially prepared
"Shop Talks," dealing with varPous
subjects of importance to efficient
express operation, have been read to
the men and formed the topics for
general discussion.
Agent E. B. Council recently re
appointed his local Better Service
CnmfMgn Committee, composad of
S. S. ckruthers and W. J. Wright to
aid him in this educational work
Ho is very much gratified with the
interest and enthusiasm shown by
tho local forces In the drive.
The local express people are trying
to get the co-operation cf shippers
in this city, in those matters, particu
larly so far as making out express
receipts correctly is concerned. Many
business houses using express receipts
extensively prepare their own re
ceipts, it is pointed out, and arc
liable to encounter complications in
presenting claims for loss or dam
age to shipments, such receipts are
not made out according to authorized
express rules.
The oponing meetings, last week,
wore devoted to a discussion of how
receipts should be made out to make
thqm acurate, while legible way
bills, accurate weights and proper la
bels were also taken up. One im
portant object of the Second Drive
is to prevent rough handling of ship
ments in offices and terminals, and
this subject was considered from
every point of view.
The local committeemen empha
sized the importance of c-.reful hand
ling of shipments from the moment
of their receipt by the express com
pany, in good condition from ship
pers, to their delivery at destination.
Other subjects treated included the
correct methods for handling perish-
r.blo. goods, how the C. O. D. service
can be expedited, the particular
steps which should be taken to pro
tect merchandise of exceptional value
end the proper handling of all of the
miscellaneous commodities traveling
by express.
American troops have invaded
Mexico. The invasion came after bul
lets fired by Mexican troops in the
battle for Juarez had. killed one
American woman and wounded five
other persons, two of them United
States soldiers in El Paso, Ter. In
fantry, cavalry and artillery are in
cluded in the units which have cross
ed the line. The commanders said
they are crossing the border to stop
firing into United States territory.
The battle for Juarez is raging and
losses appear about: equal on both
sides. '

In Memory of Little N. A. Vestel.
Little N. A. from us has gone,
To live with Jesus up above,
And when the trials of life are o'er,
We'll meet again where all is love.
I cannot feel that he is far,
Or that to us he's lost for aye,
But there beside tho golden gate
I kno'w he'll wait for me some day
Just there beyond the evening star,
Beyond the Jasper sea,
I know again some happy day
I'll meet the one who waits for me,
Life seems so sad without him here,
My heart docs ache with pain;
And all the days are dark and drear
I fain would hear his voice again.
And yet I know he cannot come,
Back to my arm's embrace,
But that in that bright yonder's
world
I'll see him face to face.
I oftimes dream of that bright home,
Of that bright happy shore;
And when I'm done with grief and
pain -J.
know we'll meet to part no more.
And tho I long to see my boy,
I would not call him from
That heavenly land so bright and fair
And rob him of its peace and joy.
For well I know he's safe up there,
From all the ills of life;
From all the sorrows and the care,
From all the toils and strife.
So now farewell, dear baby boy,
Till God doth bid me come,
To share with thee the peace and joy
In that celestial home.
