state.
Three travelling men and our
very active local agents are con

p~udiated the views they had been Induced
to indorse. They had signed out Of good
will to their ~neighbors. with little attention
to the meaning Of the petition. When the
question Of free delivery was brought before
them on its merits. they had little to say
In opposition. and when Il was presented As
Q direct benefit to themselves. they were ac-
tive in preventing the choice OF some other
section than their own for the location Of
the next new route.
Another contention that gives rise to .
great deal Of trouble for the department Is
hat fierce fights are constantly arising In
localities where additional routes are ao-
Piled for. In many cases petitions come in
asking for establishment Of routes that
overlap one that b In operation. Here
great contention ID made In point Of In
frinsment on territory and material effect
on bufiress along the line Of the old and
app;ied-for system. These cases result Oft
entimes In factional fights and cause no end
Of trouble for the ConSressmen and depart
ment ofncials.

Rural delivery has now been sufncientiy

farms as has been shown IN many cases,
is enhanced. Good reads become indispens-
able. and their Improvement 10 the essen

and measurable benefits are signal and un-
m~is.akable.
Free Delivery as a Factor
in Economic Tendencies.
But the movement exercises a wider and
deeper influence. 1t becomes a factor in
the social and economic tendencies of Amer
lean life. The disposition to leave the farm
for the town is a familiar effect Of our past
conditions. But this tendency Is checked.
and may be materially changed by an I'D
vance which conveys many Of the advan-
tages Of the town to the farm. Rural FREQ
delivery brings the farm within the daily
range Of the intellectual and commercial
activities of the world. and the Isolation
and monotony which have been the bans Of
agricultural life are sensibly mitigated. II
proves to be one of the most effective and
powerful OF educational agencies Wher-
ever It Is extended the schools improve and
the civic spirit OF the community feels new
pulsation: the standard OF intelligence Is
raised. enlightened interest In public af-
fairs Is ~quickened. and better citizenship
follows. =
with all these results clearly indicated
by the experiment as thus far tried. rural
free delivery Is plainly here to stay. II
cannot be abandoned where II has been
established. and IT cannot be maintained

failed In business several years ago. and
as his two daughters. Rosina and Evange-
lima, were daring little acrobats the family
decided to allow them to do their turns in

the family changed.
Evangelina has without doubt stronger
toes than any girl Of her age in the United
States. She can stand on them a fraction
less than two minutes and then skip and
waltz around the room. not in the least

not posing on the balls of the feet. That

It Il very curious that the girls feet are
