offices located in A states and terri
tories. Between July 1st and Nov
ember LIST, 1900, there have been
about 400 additional rural free de-
livery routes established, employing
as many men, and supplying over
900. 900 persons with mail matter.
2. There are now pending about
2200 petitions for the establishment
of additional routes. OF these the
larger number, /. 235, are from the
middle division to which Wisconsin,
belongs. 1t is quite probable that
Wisconsin has the honor of having
the banner route, viz: the one at
Green Bay, which handles 1900 to
$4,000 pieces of mail matter each
month.
Srd. The rural mail delivery system
is fast becoming self sustaining
feature. Take two or three illustra-
tions: Mr.. Walker mentions route
recently established at Juda where by
the discontinuance of a star route
there will be saved to the government
$3.50. AT Hortonville, also in this
state, two postoffices were discontin-
ued and three star routes costing the
government 1927, and making the
net cost of the rural free delivery,
supplying more people at greater
convenience and large saving of time,
but about 1928. Within less than a
year 400 star routes have been dis
continued or curtailed on account of
free delivery, making a saving alone
of $50, 600 while more than 200 post
offices have been closed, making a
still greater saving to the postoffice
department.
18th: Rural free delivery is produce
tive of good roads. A good road is
an essential prerequisite to anv in
vestigation. 1t is estimated that
there are more than $500, 900, 900
miles of public highways in these
United States and that 80 per cent.
of every load carried by railroads and
steam boats must be hauled in a wagon
over highway.
Ii costs the farmers of the United
States three times as much as il does
the farmers of Europe to market an
equal weight and bulk of farm prod
ucts. The farmers are the people
then who are vitality interested in
good roads. The r. F. d. system is
stimulus to the building and main
tanning of first class highways. Mr..
Walker gave an illustration of an I'M
bridged stream near Lathrop, Mo.
The unbridged stream was through
neglect and carelessness. The special
agent required as a measure of safety
to the mail and its carrier that the
stream be bridged. Within thirty
minutes $4,000 was raised by the
citizens to do that long neglected
WORK. and tho route was established .
Other facts might have been secured,
but a fear that reporter was taking
valuable time, let him to bid the gen
tlemanly agent good day how

Mr.. Woodworth and his 9-year-old

his rifle along.
The two fishers had not proceeded far
when the bird appeared. Secreting him
