That was big promise which the
superintendent of the free rural de-
A oood Arc for livery division Of
the post Office de-
partment made the
other day when he announced that
within five years every farmer in the
country would have his mail deliv-
cred at his door, yet ii may be pos
sible of fulfllment A long step in
the extension of the free delivery sys
tenn has been taken within the past
few years, and the experiment has
long since passed the experimental
stage The absolute success of the
system has been demonstrated and
the benefits that have been derived
by the farmers cannot well be esti-
mated. Thousands of people in va
rious parts Of the country, says the
Cleveland Leader, have been taken
out of their former isolation by the
postmen who make weekly or semi
weekly visits TO their homes, and
they are now more i'm touch with the
great world outside than they have
ever been before When to the rural
postmen are added the telephone and
the trolley car, it is easy TO see that
powerful agents of civilization are at
work. IL is to be hoped that no OBJ
stacles will be placed in the way Of
the extension of the rural free deliv-
cry system as suggested.

What is considered the strictest
pure food law in the United States
has gone into effect in New Jersey.
Its enforcement is intrusted to the
state board of health. A chief GOOD
inspector, with a sufficient number of
deputies distributed throughout the
state, is authorized to examine every
thing used for human consumption
as food or drink, no matter where
produced. Beverages must reach a
certain standard, and municipal wa
ter supplies, if impure, are subject to
condemnation. The penalties apply
to the manufacture or sale of any
thing to eat or drink that is not
pure.

Telephone mistakes have their seri-
Gus side. A Kansas City (Mo.) man,
who wished to communicate with an
other named Williams, looked in the
directory and then called up num-
Der "south." Presently there came
through the receiver a soft, feminine
'Hello," and he said: "Who is that %
''This is Mrs. Williams" Have you

couldn't understand why she rung off
so sharply until he looked in the

A reyivalist named A. Wagge has
been preaching in Roanoke, Va, and
advising the farmers to burn their
tobacco crop in order to avoid burn
ing themselves in the next world. Mat
thew Scarce, well-known young
farmer, emptied eight barns which
were filed with fine tobacco, piled it
in one immense heap, invited his
neighbors in, and then set fire to the
whole crop. 1t was valued at $4,000.
The other farmers, however, are sell
ing their tobacco, preferring that
some one else should burn it after
they get the money for it.
