A New York dispatch says: An or
ganized effort is under way among
farmers to secure from Congress free
mail delivery in country towns. The
for N
and others are canvassing the matter.
Letters are being written to Congress
men in favor of the project aad petit
tons to Congress for free delivery are
being circulated in many parts of the
country. Farmers assert that a daily
mail delivery at their door will add
preceptibly to the money value of
their farms and will be worth still more
because it will keep them in touch with
markets and the outside world and
rob farm life of its isolation and mon
otony.
The editor of the Caro- Democrat asks
why is it that parents always mention
the weight when they announce the
birth of child? Is it considered a
credit to the father; mother or infant?
This is particularly the case with young
married people. Parents of age and
experience know that the care and
anxiety and labor of raising baby are
not in proportion to the number of
pounds in weight. Six pounds of baby
represents just as many nights of floor
walking as ten pounds, and six
pound baby can hold as much collie az
a ten-pounder. In fact when you
come to weighing little incidentals like
4, L. 10 fhs
steelyards and bring out the hay scales.

About fifteen couples of Grant and
Carrie McArthur's young friends met
at the home of their mother last We'd
nesday evening to say goodbye TO
them before their departure for Wash
ington, and to express the high esteem
in which these two young people are
held by their many friends in this
place. The affair was in the nature of
q surprise party, and when everyone
was made at home and warmly well
coined by Mrs. Macarthur and her
family, Will ii. Foster, on behalf of
the rest of the young folks, presented
Carrie with very handsome oxidized
silver mirror, and Grant with beauti-
full silver, gold lined, cup with the
word "Mac" engraved thereon. In a
few words the latter thanked hisfriends

young people of the friends they left
in Yale when the "Rockies" lie be-
tween them.
