Poor skim-milk-sort of newspaper with a few small advertisements nnd tht>se looking as though they were run at half price, betoken a dead town just as sure as a corpse indicates a funeral; while a good, lively, well-printed paper, well filled with news and good fresh ad vertisements, shows that the town is prospering and thriving.

I have Several clippings I imagine I can tell the difference. I en joyed it fine though, plenty of time to loaf and plenty of soldiers to talk with and listen to their bales of the war. But I prefer my set^the soilors^ I spent most of my time with them. Going ov er is a cinchj Xot much work and the most I did the last trip was watch the waves and occasionlly a flying fish (sometimes a school of them), or 'a l>assing ship.

McMillan, postmaster of Clinton, recently received a letter from J. C. Koon, .first assistant post master general, in which Mr. Koon states that the postoffice department is now making a determined ef fort to ascertain the views of the general public on the qualify of ser vice being rendered by tfie postal authorities through the nation, and to secure from as many persons as possible suggestions as to methods by which the service may be im proved. 'Mr. McMillan has been instruct ed to investigate conditions now ex isting in the local office with a view to improving the service as much as possible. He is dso advised to con- fef with business houses, banks, and various commercial organiza tions in order to obtain their can did opinion as to the service being rendered by the postoffice depart ment. and to ask those with whom he. confers for the frank opinion as to what steps may be taken to im prove the service locally. He has interviewed the banks and other business houses for an expression of their views as to the present ser vice and for any suggest if ons which may in any way enable the local office to serve the public more efficiently. Tf*there are any who have either suggestions or com plaints to make, the postmaster will be glad to receive them in order that the service may be made bet ter as*is desired by. the authorities ut Washington. —---v, fi' — Air. McMillan said yesterday to The Chronicle reporter that his motto for the office is “The maxi mum of serving. “ He is gratified at the splendid showing made by the office and is desirous that all who may offer suggestions relative Let everyone who wants to build a house do it now. x Can’t we get that building boom started? . . . At the request of the president of the Ladies’ Improvement associa* t on, The Chronicle is today pub lishing a beautiful* poem, ‘“We Khali Not Sleep.’’ A campaign is no won to have the Flanders Poppy ai d the Torch of Liberty entwined adopted as a national'Victory em blem. The emblem has been taken up all over the country and official ly adopted by many of the leading patriotic and other organizations, including the D. A. R. and the Daughters of the Confederacy of the State of Georgia. Through suoh got out of some Xew York papers, tell ing of the arrival of the Mount Vernon. They were on the front page. I just send them to let you see hpw the Xew* York people'welcome the hofne-coming of th boys from over there. I am in the t . same harbor Lelex sailed from. I don’t know which pier he was in though. I am in pier Xo. 2, and on the other side, at pier Xo. 3, about 50 yards off^lies the Levtathian the largest ship in the world. It is only about five minutes’ ride from here to iNew York City. I had the pleasure of going there last night. I get liberty two nights out of three, from 5 P. M. until 8 A. M. The next time I go I am going to the top of the Woodworth Building, the highest building in the world. I went to the top of, the Washington monu ment whet 1 was in Washington, D. C. and ran a race down it with a bunch of sailors. The rest were so sore for two dr three days afterwards they could hardly walk. We went all over the eapitol with a guide, in the President’s room too. You see he was in France. By the way, you spoke of the George Washington. We passed it when a thousand miles at sea. •I noticed in today’s paper that they had It different from yesterday report on th^ number of men, casualties and landing, etc. But I am right for I woke up just as the big ship rolled in the bay. The difference between the ocean and the bay must have been the cause, for after being in the water for If days, 8 days going over and 1 day\ in the harbor and 8 coming back, you can to improving the service make their suggestions to him at once.
