Rural Free Delivery.

WAsH1NGToN, Sept. 4. Postmaster
General Smith, who has returned from
his vacation in New England, gave
some attention to rural free delivery
while away, and finds it very popular in
New England. By the close of this
year one-third of the available territory
of the United States will have free de-
livery routes established, and the ex-
pense of that service will be about 81
100000. The appropriation of 50, 100000
for the service this year will make the
necessary extensions to cover one-third
of the country where the service can
be established.
The Post Office Department will next
winter ask from Congress an appropria-
ton of $4,000, 600 for next year, 81, $780,
600 to be for extension. Mr.. Smith be-
lieves that the available territory Of
the United States can be given rural
free delivery for about $14,000,OOO a
year, and that Congress will make ap-
preparation for the extension of the
service.
1t costs no less than 70 cents per
capita for free delivery in the cities
where that service is given, and not
more than 80 cents per capita for the
rural free delivery service for the
farmers.

Maine Canned Corn.

The seventy odd corn canning fac
tories of Central Maine are now in
operation. The opening of the season
is later than usual, owing to the wet
weather of early summer, which delay
ed the planting of corn.
The packing of sweet corn in this
State has grown rapidly in the last few
years, until now only New York and
Illinois exceed Maine in the number
Of cans put up. Last year about
twenty-five million cans were produced.
Though the beginning of work this
year is somewhat later than usual,
every Indication points to bountiful
harvest. Farmers in most parts of the
State say that the corn crop will be
large, and that the increase will more
than offset the shortage in potatoes.
About twelve thousand acres of
sweet corn have been planted this YEAR
the product of which is contracted for
by the canning factories. 1t is estimat-
ed that the farmers will be paid over
$350,000 The canning season lasts
from four to six weeks, and there are
employed in the various factories dur
ing that time from seventy five hun
dred to eight thousand operatives.
Two-thirds of these are women, while
a large number of children are en-
ployed, and receive about four cents a
basket for husking. The total wages
paid will reach $4,000.
The packers pay farmers about 81. so
a hundred pounds for corn after it is
cut from the cob. The amount of corn
raised to the acre varies according to
soil and methods of tillage, but farmers
realize generally from S25 to $40 an
acre, although an acre of land has been
known to yield more than $50 worth of
corn.
The value of the seventy-fve fac
tories in Maine is not less than $780,
000 Most of the canning factories
make their own cans, and hence in
each factory small force of men is
employed in this work the year around.
To make the cans for years output of
Maine canned corn will require so, 900
boxes of tinplate, weighing 100000
pounds. Tinplate is usually purchased
or contracted for in advance, and few
factories have been caught mapping this
year. Yet there have been some who
have suffered by the rise in tinplate.

Vale the Independence.

BosroN, MASS, Tuesday. Thomas
w. L.awson's yacht, the Independence,
after making to-day fine exhibition OF
speed, according to program, will be
towed to the State docks at the foot Of
Congress street tomorrow and disman-
tied Mr.. Clapp, the owners private
secretary, has been ill at Duxbury, but
he said tonight that he would get to
Boston tomorrow or next day and that
work of breaking up the lndepend ence
would begin as soon as he arrives.
After the showing made in the fisher
mans race for the Lawson Cups, off
Marblehead, there was more or less re-
greet expressed here over her fate. The
day was favorable for lively spin, and
the Independence made the best of it,
making the fishermen's races look slow
in comparison with the speed she
showed. The big fishermen started ten
minutes past twelve. The next class
ten minutes later The Independence
did not start until twenty-three min
utes past twelve, when she crossed the
line on port tack under her three
lower sails Holding on this way until
five minutes before one O'Clock, she set
her working topsail and went on for a
dead heat to the halfway rock.
She soon forged through the whole
fleet of fishermen and rounded the
mark at 1:54:2O Then she eased her
sheets and ran along for Egg Rock, the
second mark. Having started thirteen
minutes after the fishermen she led
the Carrie Phillips, which was in the
van of the fleet, by Bonn, 5s., which,
with the Ism, at the start, made her
43m. IS. in the lead to windWard of ten
miles.
She then reached for Egg Rock at
good speed. She had set her balloon
and came with the wind on the quarter.
Her sheets were trimmed for an easy lay
home, ending rather remarkable per-

Kickers May Ruin a Town.

''It is possible" remarked a travel
ling man in Kanses town the other
day, "for lot of chronic kickers to
ruin town. There is the town of In
dependence, Iowa, which is an example
in point. The great horseman, Will
liams, made Independence his head
quarters for while. He built $50, 600
hotel and $4,000 residence, and got
up race meetings that drew people to
Independence from all over the United
States. Business was booming and the
town was building. Then the kickers
began to get in their work. They har-
raised Williams and finally got him hot
so that he tore down his hotel and left
the town. He also tore up street rail
way that he had built in Independence
and moved with his belongings over to
Galesburg, III. Independence has nearly
faded away and the kickers are mostly
to blame for it. There are in nearly
every town a lot of chronic kickers who
never do anything to push enterprise
along themselves but are always ready

PREVENT PRAIRIE FIRES
CHIEF FIRE WARDEN ISSUES CIR
CULAR TO GENERAL STATE
WARDENS
EXTREME CARE Is NECESSARY
Fire Wardens Admonfshed That
Prevention Is Better Than Elk
tingufshing-State Record
in This Respect Good.

Gen. c. c. Andrews, chief fire war
den of the state, has just been sending
circular around to the different war
dens under him, which contains matter
OF considerable interest. He says among
other things that prairie and forest fires
nave been less frequent in Minnesota Of
late than in past years and he wants to
Keep the good work going. In part
the report reads:
I'VE are entering upon the seventh
year of the firewarden law. and each
year should show improvement in it's
administration. The great object of the
fire warden law is to prevent the care
less setting of forest and prairie fires.
The law assumes that town supervisors
are in position best to attend to this
They pass through their towns on public
business, they know who is most likely
to be careless, and they have the author
1ty, influence and opportunity for warn
ing careless persons better than almost
anyone else. 1t was because of this that
they are constituted fire wardens They
must anticipate dangerous weather and
by timely efforts guard against any
fires that might prove unmanag eable 1t
is impossible by human agency to ex-
tinguish a great forest fire, but such fires
can be prevented. Take pride in MAX
ing good record for yourself and your
town in preventing dangerous fires
The chief fire warden says that this is
the time of the year when wardens and
people generally should commence to
take precautions. There is no telling
how much good might be accomplished by
following instructions. One single fire
might cause much loss of life and great
loss of property. Instances can be cited
by the warden where this has happened
because of apparently insignificant causes
at the start
