r Ktnrt the working week iu a
tliHiikf ul mood, even though
call money may cost you 30
per cent before you know
where you are.
Everything is going well with
this fine country. Truly, "lie
has not dealt so with any na
tion, and as for His judgments
they have not known them.
Praise ye the Lord.'.
On the radio, each night, by
courtesy of Mr. Hill and of the
American Tobacco Company,
you hear the song, "I'm a
Lucky Boy."
Uncle Sam might make that
his national anthem.
Tins country's population is
growing at the rate of 1,400,000
a year, one new American ev
ery 23 seconds. Our popula
tion has doubled since 1S90.
New York City will have, in
its metropolitan area,; 30,000,
000 population before 1990.
Wealth is accumulating, in a
way to make Creoesns feel like
a Gypsy.
AVe should be grateful and
prepared to defend what we
have. ,
If you think the native born
arc better than others, which is
not so, note that of 1,400,000
-,.u -,,.,,. -1 innnnnn ,..; iw,t.,
here. :
i Not even the Federal Reserve
I'ourd can hold back a nation
such as this.
Americans are beginning to
own the outside world. Uefore
the war Britain controlled sonic
of our railroads. Now Ameri
cans own more than fifteen bil
lions of foreign securities. In
South America before the war,
American investments amount
ed to one hundred millions.
Now they have risen to twenty
five hundred millions.
I'nelc Sam is rich. When
everybody owes you billions.
you should invest a billion or
two in national safety.
It is good news that more
than 700 airplaiies will be add
ed to the national fleet this
coming year, at a cost of
000,000. Money could not be
better spent.
Our.CaiiaUian fricntls, by tliu
way, arc included, .among tlic
"Aiaericaiifi" tbat know bow
to invest in good sccurlics.
Tlic biggctit stockboldcr ot
record in tlic American Tele
graph & Telephone Company is
Sim Life Insurance Company
of Canada. If you do not think
that is wise investing, you arc
mistaken.
The Cheshire eat, in the
T "Alice" Mory, gradually disap
peared until only the smile was
left. '.
Kailroad owners fear that
that railroad labor is tending
in the same direction, soon to
disappear, all except the pay
roll. .
Unions dcraunri a alx-lioitr day
and a five-day wcok.
There are limits to the speed 01
progress. You cannot RO upstairs
a whole flight at a time. '
Hut the Miggestion of the union,
which shocks ratlif.ad owners now,
will be reality before long, If prea
pcrlly continues.
Tho five-day woek, giving men
a day In which to spend what Ihcy

Of much intcrent nnil impor

ning with May lt they can aend
air mail from hero to New York
City, and to intermediate eastern
and middlewest points in far less
corresponding time, ut least 1 1 .
hours quicker than is made by tho
present air mail schedule.
This news, wiiic.i meant so
much to the local people, signifies
that the air mail service is devel
oping so fast that very soon a busi
ness' man or other citizen can
hardly afford not to make use of
the ah mail, was received by Post
master Wm. J. Warner this foro
noon from tho postmaster gen
eral's department at Washington,
L). C.
Iu general, tho Information im
parts the knowledge that effective
Alay 1st, because of the great in
crease In air mail handled on the
transcontinental air mail route
from coast to coast, this volume of
business require; additional service
which will be inaugurated on the
date above mentioned.
. This is made possible by the re
cent completion uf the lighted air
mall route between' Kan Francisco
and Salt Lake City as it permits
the postoffieo department to so
schedule the transcontinental ser
vice as to provide for two continu
ous trips between Sun Krancisco
and New York City,. and vice versa,
Uu'iivg..Ui& '-horff-period.
When the two trips dally sched
ule is inaugurated the planes will
depart from Sun Francisco at 8
a. m. and 8 p. m. daily, will arrive
In Chicago at 6 p. m. mul 6 a. in.
the following day, hours later,
and arriv In New York at 6:lu p.
m. and 6:43 a. m. practically a
continuous flight except a two t
hours layover In Chicago.
Mall leaving Medford ut 9 a. in.!
will lie In New York City ut 6:43 a. ',
m. the second day, the trip being
made in 46 hours lapsed time, a
gain of 1 1 hours bver the present
air mail schedule. A letter can
then leave New York by nlr mail
at 11 a. m. und be In Medford .at
0 ii. in. the second day.
Furthermore, it is known that
the coast air malt local schedules
will be so changed In the not dis
tant future as to make the time
still shorter, by muking better con
nections with tho transcontinental
air mail plsnes.
Daily almost, developments in
aviation make Medford people feel
that they are exceedingly fortu
nate In having mi important air-,
