WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Secretary Alexander
of the department of commerce in an
official statement announced today
that the total volume of American
shipping has been increased by six
hundred and sixty-nine vessels during
the fiscal year ending June 20, 1920.
This enormous increase has pushed
the United States from the four na
tion in the amount of tonnage under
its flag to the second, being passed
only by England. It the present rate
^)f increase continues, America will
soon lead the world as a maritime
country.
WORKING
INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 16 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The National Federa
tion o£_ Letter Carriers is in session
here at its annual convention, attend
ed by delegates from every city where
free delivery service is in vogue. The
convention was opened today, being
addressed by the mayor of this city,
and other prominent men. Among the
addresses was one by W. H. Kewan of
Lowell, Indiana, speaking on behalf
of the Association of Rural Letter
Carriers. The high cost of living and
the failure of Congress to provide
adequate compensation for its postal
employes was dealt with by Mr.
Kewen, and he said that his organ
ization, despite the prohibition of the
postmaster general, forbidding postal
employes to enter politics, would go
before congress and demand “what
they think is right.” The inference
from his speech was that political
pressure would be brought to bear on
congressmen unfavorable to the de
mands.

Associated Press).—Official advices

the bomb had exploded in the daytime,
great loss of life would have resulted.

PROHIBITION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16 (by
Associated).—At the conference being
conducted here by representatives of
the Anti-Saloon League who have
gathered from all over the country, a
committee was appointed today to
draft a resolution addressed to ail fed
eral judges dealing with the enforce
ment of the Nineteenth Amendment
and the Volsted Act. It is announced
that the re .olution in its final form
will say ' that unless the federal
judges “sacredly ferform their sacred
duties” in enforcing the prohibition
laws the Anti-Saloon League will seek
the punishment of all offending judges
by impeachment proceedings.
We hold the busy bee up as an ex
ample for our children to emulate—but
it would be just as well to deprecate
the fact that it never learns by re
peated experience that what it labors
so diligently all summer to treasure
up some loafer comes along in the fall
•and steals.
If you change your address, do not
notify the carrier boy—report your
new address to the office.

CHERBOURG, Franco, Sept. Jo (by
Associated Press).—An unusual pros
perity is affecting this town due to
the fact that active preparations are
being made for the shipment to Am
erica of the bodies of thousands and
tens of thousand of American soldiers
who sacrificed their lives in the great
war. Everything incident to the hand
ling of the bodies is going forward
with rapid strides. Hundreds of car
penters are employed making coffins,
and a greater number of seamtresses
are engaged in the sewing work neces
sary to the lining and ornamentation
of the same.
The Port Althorp cannery in south
eastern Alaska closed down recently
with a pack of 105,000 cases. The
Cape Edwards cannery put up forty
thousand cases.
An English medical paper says the
prettiest girls are the stupidest. Well,
this old town has some of the brightest
girls in the country.
