Nail aid Freight Service There is a daily exodus, we are told, of men from the postal service because of higher wages elsewhere. And the public suff ers Mail that reacheas our off ice is frequently da\s and even week behind time. The men em ployed in .the postal service can not be blamed for seeking other positions where wages have been advancedl over prewar scale. The only way of -topping the loss of men and the holding of sufficient numbers to keep the mail sevrice efficent seems to he by the increase of v salaries or the reduction of the demand for them eleswhere. For fourieen.raonths the Congressional committee has been invesitgating postal salaries but has done nothing toward iriv ing relief to the employees On account of a shortage of help freight is tired up in transit as it has not been for years, making it difficult for manufactui erg, coal men. and the shippers of grain and foodstuffs to secure cars. And the entire public in suffering from the lack of the prompt delivery of freight. There is aian a shortage of help in many other lines of industry and commerce. But there are plenty of men out of empioy | ment to fill all the vacancies. Of l one thing we may be sure: Not untill men settle down and go to wo:k will there be any return to | normal conditions. Even if the wage is not ia keeping with the , cost ot living, it is the duty of ; every citizen to go to work. Steady employment would graet. ly reduce the dissatisfaction and agitation, would increase pro puction and rapidly bring about a reduction in the cost of living. Let eveyybody go to work. j&v,. •. i. .. . dune Wedding Announcement The marriage of Roy Bell and Miss Willie Quinn has been an nounced to take place at the First Baptist Church in Little ; Rock June 8th, Miss Quinn visit ed in Ozark last summer and impressed everpone who met her as being a most loveable and accomplished young lady.
