The sign stands for the amount i ! costs the Government to write a letter and deliver it. Gen. Lord is trying to cut down the immense amount of letter writing. He feels that this little reminder of a 26-cent sign on each desk will serve to chock many budding and unnecessary letters. He explained to the business meeting of the Government recently that as a result of practical tests with a group of stenographers it had been found that the average letter costs 26 cents “This figure is not final,” said Gen. Lord, “but accurate enough to be sig- nificant and startling.” He has great The Puritan--A Table Model Electric Rotary Sewmg Machine The Rotary Principle Eliminates Vibration All working parts rotate—thereby eliminating nerve-racking vibration and allow- hand to guide the material Irung sewn.

FARMRELIEF FIGHT 1S DUE IN SENATE, !Action on McNary-Haugen' Bill Looms in Agriculture Committee. the Assaciated Press The farm relief battle promises to| shift to the Scnate this week, where | there are indications that the agri- culture committee. will take swift and favorable action on the McNary- Haugen bill, the subject of three weeks of hearings so far before the House committee. A showdown is expected Wednesday when the Senate commit- tee will meet in executive session to, consider several pending proposals. Advocates of the modified McNary bill, temporarily blocked in the House, | insist they have enough votes in com- | mittee to report out the measure im- | mediately and force it lo early con- sideration in the Senate. As a result the McNary-Haugen forces have sud- | ! denly shifted their attack from the ! | House, where opponents of the bill, | \l‘lov.‘d last session by President Cool- | 1dgc have waged stubborn battle. | Hearings Banned. The Senate agriculture committee has decided definitely to do away with hearings on farm relief, believing the extensive discussions of years past and | of those conducted this session before ! House committee will serve its pur- | in reconsidering agricultural | The new bill of Senator McNary, Re- publican, Oregon. who is chairman of | the agricultural committee, meets some | of the objections voiced by the Pres dent a year ago in vetoing the McNary- for collection of an equalization fee as a means of obtaining revenue to mar- ket the surplus crops. While Senator McNary has announced he expected White House sanction of his modified bill, there have been no indications of such favor toward it by Mr. Coolidge, and the Oregon Senator does not pro- fess to have received any approval for it as yet. Enough Votes Scen. There is a confidence, however, in the McNary-Haugen ranks in the Sen- ate that the bill can be reported with- ont any trouble by the committee, prob- ably at its meeting Wednesday. and that the votes can be mustered to put it through the Senate. The Senate gave a comfortable ma- jority to the old McNary-Haugen bill last vear Meanwhile _there has been little farm relief discussion in that body and just what line-up will develop on the modified bill is mmcwhfll uncertain Assigned to New York Post.
