Better Express Service. | < Mr. J. R. Walter route agent, and ? ,Ir. J. D. Jenkins, local agent of che j American Railway Express Co., last veek attended a three days' meeting <, ft agents of the company at the of- i ice of the superintendent of the Southeastern Division, Wilmington. N. >. The object of the meeting was toj liscuss plans fcr securing more effi cient service, and one of the most im portant steps taken was the decision to inaugurate a campaign to obtain Lhe cooperation of the public in better packing and better marking of pack ages shipped by express. Delay and loss of express freight is due more to insufficient and careless packing and illegible or deficient marking than to any other causes. If every shipper would see to it that packages sent by express were carefully and securely packed to protect the contents and plainly and adequately marked, there would be few claims for damage and loss. The American Railway Express Company, through its agents, will put mi a campaign of education to show shippers what better packing and bet ter marking means and how, by co operating with the company, the ship pers may obtain better and (Quicker service and prevent loss and annoy- j ance.

"The. Nest- War." . i - IGen. Wood Speaks to Kansas Legislature in Favor of Universal Military Training. Topeka, Kan., .Tan. 22.?Calmly re ferring to "next war," Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood inn de a strong appeal before a joint session of tin- Kansas legislation today for a system of uni versal training for national defense. He outlined what he termed "the idea of the great leader who has gon<? and of others" and frequently quoted sayings of the late Theodore itoo.-.e velt. General Wood said his plan was to j train youths not more than six months, lie pointed out that the Tenth Division was trained to perfec tion in four months. He said that the plan of industrial training along wi:h military training, as now being tried cut at Camp Funston. is entirely suc cessful. The training system, he! said; was similar to that of the pr* .5 ent national guard system. '"To keep the smallest number of) men in uniform as a standing army, I but to have the largest it umber thor oughly trained to be ready when the country calls, is the plan," he said. I '.'The prediction that there will be no jwars is as old as time, but war is jlike a pestilence, it comes unawares and the most- democratic method for a nation like ours is to be preoared;" His reference to the "fine league of (nations already existing, between England, France and America, not writtten in ink, but. in the blood of common sacrifice" brought applause.
