The first petition fled in Indiana
for the abolition of a rural free mail
route has been lodged with Postmaster
Grain, of Wabash, by the residents of
| New Holland, Dora and Lincolnville,
in the southeastern part of the coun-
tv. The real reason is said to be that
the old star route hackman was ac-
custOmed to carry parcels and pack
ages and freight for the people in the
small towns who now have no service
of this kind.
The most effective blow possible at
the beef trust, if trust it is, has been
dealt by the public in its failure or re-
fusal to buy meat. If the higher price
of beef is not due TO a trust. all the
same refusal to bny will reduce the
price, for it will rapidly increase the
the supply in sight, and an oyer-sup-
ply of perishable products is an effect
i've antidote to high prices. So what
ever the cause, lower prices in beef, at
least temporarily, are in sight.

one seeking a location Rochester
