RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Assistant Postmaster General Heath
Presents Strong Plea for
the System.

Washington, Nov. CA vigorous plea for
rural free delivery is made in tho annual
report of First Assistant Postmaster Gem
eral Perry S. Heath. Mr. Heath says tho
service so far has resulted in increased
postal receipts, enhancement of the value
Of farm lands reached by rural free delivery
of from two to three dollars per acre;
general Improvement of the condition OF
tho roads traversed by the rural carrier:
better prices for farm products, the pro-
duccrs being brought into daily touch with
the state of tho markets, besides cduca
tional benefits conferred by relieving tho
monotony of farm life through ready ac
cess to wholesome literature and knowl-
edge of current events.
On November rural free delivery was In
successful operation over 3S3 services, radi-
atlng over 30 states ard one territory, Ida
no, Wyoming. Mississippi and Montana bo-
Ing the only states unreprescnted. Be-
tween the beginning of the new fiscal year.
July !. 1890, and November an additional
expenditure Of $4,000 rural delivery has
an annual cost OF about 81 cents per capita,
against an average per capita cost OF $3.50
in small towns Of 5000 population.
ut is a small! matter to The resident OF a
town." says the report Ito be saved walk
Of few hundred yards to the post office,
while on the contrary it is n great accom-
mediation to the farmer to be spared drive
Of five or ten miles over country roads to
get his mail. In a recent pubic discussion
advocates of the system who took Glc value
of the time thus lost in the busy farming
season at only so cents per head found
that their figures ran UP into many millions
of dollars lost to the agricultural interests
through being Obliged to send to the village
for the mails"

and the home club kept good lead on their
opponents throughout the game which result

to IL in favor of La Plata Edelen, Burch
and Mudd, did fine work for the visitors
while for the home team nearly every man
played good ball aud a winning game.
C. Fsrrall. who is member of the La Plata
Junior team, was the wirler en- this occasion
for the first nine, and what be did to the
visitors was plenty. He pitched sw T bali
