On all sides among the field and staff
officers the State officials, the citizens,
and the visitors from outside the State,
were heard the highest words of praise
for the work of the Guard during the
encampment. All agreed that the mus
ter had been an unqualified success in
every respect and that better one had
never been held in Maine. Only one
rainy day out of seven gave it an I'M
usually large proportion of fine weather
and this added much to it's success. The
details in every department were eX-
eral conduct of the men was never SO
good. There were no cases of serious
illness or injuries and nothing to mar
the pleasure and profit of the encamp-
ment to the Guard. In speaking of the
weeks work Adj. Gen. Richards said
to Journal reporter: I'VE are all i'm
menseIy pleased with its success.
Everything has gone smoothly. I am
proud of the Guard and Maine ought
to be proud of it. Never in this State
or any other did ever seen an encamp-
ment where better discipline and order
were maintained. We are getting the
best young men in the State into the
Guard and mean to keep the organiza-
ton on a high standing. The week has
been filled with solid work which has
been of great benefit to us all. Marked
advancement and Improvement is
shown along every line. A special adj
vance over previous years is made in
the efficiency of the guard service and
in craftsmanship. There has also been
a wonderful advance in the respect
shown by the men to the colors, and
now it is marked exception when an
officer or man does not salute the flag
in passing or uncover in passing the
color line. The men are in earnest and
realize more and more their debt to the
State. They have done faithful, credit
able work, and | count the encampment
a grand success.

RURAL POSTAL FREE DELIVERY.
Hint to Farmers as to How They Can Hell
1t To He Successful.

Washington. Dec. 2. - Acting Post
master General Perry S. Heath has is
sued the following circular regarding
the rural postal free delivery: The
ultimate success of the experiment of
free delivery of mail which is now being
tried by direction of congress in fifty
rural districts Of the United States will
depend largely upon the promptness
with which the carriers can make their
deliveries TO the patrons on their routes
This will be greatly facilitated if those
desiring to take advantage of rural
free delivery will erect suitable boxes
by the road side in which carriers NAV
deposit mails as they pass. and from
which they may collect the mails in
tended for transmission.
''The time which would otherwise be
consumed by carriers in reaching resi-
dences some distance back from the
road will thus be saved. the service will
be rendered more efficient, its cost will
be reduced and the probability of its
becoming a permanent feature of postal
administration will be increased"
