But it does not usually come out that way. There is a rough sort of justice that works almost automatically in industrial relations, and in the long run people get out of their pay envelope about what they put into in in the way of effort and intelligence. Those who are looking for soft snaps on their own labor, are apt. to find that the noise made by their pay envelope also softens down to such a small amount that they can hardly hear what it says. GREAT BUSINESS IDEAS For brilliant business ideas, commend us to Uncie Sam. Faced with the necessity of increasing the postal revenues, he hit upon the happy ex- aience of raising rates, bu* without any semblance wt consistency.” For example, the rate for private mailing eards, furnished by the postoffice patron, who also the stamps, a fee of two cents is charged. for the government postal card, the cardboard p imprinted furnished by the government, only < one cent is required. Result: While 1,250 million post-cards were mailed at one cent in 1924, the estimate for 1926 is only 200 million under the two-cent rate. The Postoffice Department regretfully admits ‘that “the expected increase in revenue from post- catds has not been realized.” Disappointing, isn’t it? | Horses and cattle find their ways home through THE KEY WEST CITIZEN CAST-AWAYS ON STOCK ISLAND There are numerous simple and humane me- thods of getting rid of domestic animals that may have become undesirable to have about the home, and any one who throws 4 dog or cat, away to starve to death should be prosecuted for cruelty to animals and given the maximum penalty provided by the law. 3 The reports from Stock Island that cats and dogs are being dumped over there to starve to death are deeply resented by the kind-hearted peo- ple of Key West, and they cannot imagine that a genuine Key Wester could be so heartless. and cruel. wid Ls Dogs have been known to travél long distances through strange country and find their way back to old homes from which they had been taken. dense forests or over barren plains. It is strange that this same instinct does not guide the cats and dogs from Stock Island to their old homes in Key West, or at least get into- the residential portion of the city where food to sustain life ae be | foraged. Possibly the poor animals now beipg found on Stock Island had followed or got lost. from: their owners over there and are yet faithfully searching in vain for them, still hoping to find them. A faithful dog will starve to death Yor this ‘master, and has been known to do so on many. occasions. But ‘heartless people who would cast: away helpless animals to slowly starve to death ought to be prosecuted and punished to the limit of the law. VETERANS OF 1898 The House recently passed a bill ‘increasing the pensions of veterans of the Spanish-American War, of the Philippine Insurrection aud the Chinese- Boxer Rebellion. It was a worthy measure, passed without a dissenting vote. ; . In @ brief but able speech im. behalf of the measure. Congressman Almon of Alabama said:* “Tt will not be denied that the veterans of other wars have been more generously treated than the veterans of the Spanish War. I am glad to | know that the prospects. are now so favorable for the correction of this injustice. It was the only American war in which all of thepseldiers’ were | volunteers. ‘The records of the: show: that there were more casual the number involved than in, World War.” } p the Civil, or of Wagner and Mendelssohn must also go under Those statements me vorreét, While the Spanish War was looked” ‘upon _as a small af- fait, it meant more in Fisk of life ‘to the participants than any war in our history. ~~ © Out of less than.12,000 men on the firing line | in the. battle of Santiagé duly 1, 1898, the Am- ‘ican casualties in killed ‘and wounded, totalled 15a gen, or approximately,/4 mpet cent in one} day's fighting.

This. tardy act. of injustice to the suryiving | veterans and their widows should meet with uni- | versal approval: | permanent- OPPOSE SMALLER BILLS Bank téllcrs are voicing Be sition to the pro- | posal of the Treasury Department to reduce the | size of paper currency by making bills three- | eighths of an inch narrower and three-quarters of | an inch shorter. Several very good reasons are | advanced for opposing the’ suggested change. It is declared that difficulty in counting would | result from mixing old sizes with the new; that | uninformed foreigners in America would be con-'t fused and likely to imagine it the new bills were | counterfeit; that a similar difficulty would arise in passing the smaller-sized bills abroad; that ! handling two sizes of bills in cash registers arid tills, | as well as carrying them in, bill-folds, would lead | to loss of time and ‘the possibility of counting out | large b..:s with smaller ones Goncealed between them, and so on. ‘ It is not believed that. any advantage which might arise from the adoption of the smaller size would offset the objections noted, especially as | several years would elapse before ‘all those of the | present size could be retired from eirculation. Few of us habitually carry around a’ sufficient | number of paper bills to make their present size | and weight any serious hardship. WHERE MOSQUITOES COME EROM The State Board of Health ‘Booklet on Mos- quitoes says: * “A major portion of those, mosquitées whith frequent and trouble oye about his house, are lo- ; cally bred either on the immediate premises or in | the adjoining neighborhood.
