Rural Free Delivery.

Rural FREQ delivery is postal sor-
vice experiment in the United States
rs yet, but the favor with which il is
being received augurs well for It's sue
cesstul performance. From the re-
Gently issued report Of August w.
Machen, general superintendent Of the
rural free delivery, we learn that the
workings of the service, so far as es-
tablishcd, arc becoming more nearly
perfect and arc already very satisfac-
tory. Superintendent Machen esti-
mates the cost of complete rural free
delivery service throughout the United
States at 1921 900, 600. About 700 900
square miles of territory still remain
to be covered, which will require the
services of 10000 additional carriers.
If this ollicial's suggestion that the SER
vice be extended by tho addition OF
$4,000 routes a yoar is acted upon, the
national postal department would bo
confronted with large deficit. but
MIR. Machcn expresses confidence that,
once established, the new routes will
reduce the postal deficits to about the
normal amount, and perhaps remove
them entirely. 1t is intended to en-
deavor - obtain the necessary appro
priations early, in order that The force
of rural free delivery letter carriers
can be increased TO Is 900 men by May
l next.
While rural free delivery has long
been most popular and successful
feature Of Great Brilain's postal SER
vice, Its introduction in tho United
of az M
givings, owing to the existence of quite
different conditions from those obtain
ing in KING Edwards homo realm.
England is no larger than an Amori-
can State, and so densely populated
that there is no rural population in the
sense that country life is understood
here. The houses are close together
on superbly improved highways, and
to carly mail there is almost like vii
lagc delivery. In vast portion of tho
United States people live remote from
even hamlets, the houses are very far
apart, and as for roads, there arc few
worthy of the name. The difficulties
to be overcome in establishing rural
free delivery in the United States were
therefore infinitely greater than any
that the British postal service had to
/ meet and to know that they have been
met with measurable success is q mat
tor of national congratulatlon. The
first routes established were at once
80 popular and satisfactory in results
that the experimental movement was
gwen great impetus, and already
rural free delivery is All American in
stitution, to grow and thrive with the
years. This is well, meaning as II
does closer communication between
dwellers in the country, increased in.
telligence through increased use of the
mail service, and the dissipation of 6
measure of tho mental backwardness
resultant from isolation. The rura
telephone and other accessories o.
civilization follow in the wake of rura
free delivery.

MICHIGAN SpECIALTIEs.-With the
single exception of Detroit, Michigan,

them are celebrated for something or
other.
Kalamazoo, for instance, has been
long known on account of It's celery.
Grand Rapids has been known as
the furniture city.
Battle Creek has become known ae
the cereal city.
Three Rivers, Mich, has become
known on account of its drug products
-camphor particularly-and Holland
is known through the Middle Wes
for it's pickles.
Niles Is the headquarters for florists
products.
Houghton copper, Flint hatcases
Saginaw salt, Bay City sugar beets ant
Adrian fence posts are known outsid

Michigan has one town, Escanaba
which has made feature of the treat
ment of hay fever patients, and an
other, Mount Clemens, which has
large theatrical colony.

and not carry the sand with it.. Th,
clay or sand was then hauled in wagon.
or carts, usually short distances, ant
spread over this surface for thick
ness of from 9 to inches. The mix
ing OF the sand and clay was done by
the ordinary travel, which was never
stopped, and the surface was finally
packed by the widc-tlrc wagons and
carts or horse roller. Where the
supply of sand needed for spreading
over the clay load is not found near
by, pockets are made in the bitches
Tor catching sand, which is later taken
out and spread over the surface.
"This work has been in progress
during the past four years. Every
thing even to the construction of the
culverts and smaller bridges, except
ing the guarding and supervision, has
been done by convict labor. The size
OF the force has varied from DO to 70
prisoners, whose terms OF sentence
ranged from fow days to five years.
During the year 1901 there have been
on an average GO prisoners, divided
into two camps. The cost of their
maintenance, including the guarding,
feeding, clothing and medical attend
ance durlrg the year, has averaged 20
cents per convict per day, as COM
pared with q cost of 30 cents per day
per prisoner for feeding and guarding
while confined in tho county ial prior
to sentence and assignment TO the road
force.
" AS a result of this work during
the past four years this county now
has (out Of q total of about $50 miles
of public roads) about 1875 miles of i'm
proved sand-clay roads, rs to 30 feet
wide, which cost for grading and sur
facing about $500 per mile, aud rs
miles of similar roads, which, built
under more favorable conditions, cost
about 5000 per mile. In few places,
where the materials were close at hand
and little grading WAS necessary, 1t is
said that this work has been done at a
cost not exceeding $3.50 per mile.
The oldest portions of these roads have
borne the traffic of three winters and
three summers in highly satisfactory
and the annual cost of repairs |
has not exceeded $40 per mile.
"lt would be manifest error to |
suppose that similarly cheap and |
satisfactory sand-clay roads can be
built in all other portions of the coas-
tai plain region Of the South Atlantic
and Gulf States, for 1t must be borne |
in mind that the character and dis
lributlon of the sand clay deposits of |
ltichland County make the road build
ing conditions there exceptionally |
favorable, and the management of the
work has been very efficient. But the
success in this county and the measure
OF SUCCESS which has followed expert
ments on smaller scale in other less
favored localities, certainly suggests a
line of policy and experiment which
promises cheap and fairly satisfactory
results at small cost over much of the |
area of the South Atlantic and Gulf |
otates."

without dctrimcnt to those aroun,
them. There arc thousands of anil.
aoie uees IN every large tract that car
pe prohtably handled and these could
all be obtained without the least hurt
10 the rest, and this would insure the
growth of the younger saplings. In
time the tract would have many sticks
thaC could be cut up for market. 1t is
widely recognized that these fOrcstcrs
are worth to a State many times the
salaries paid them.
Take the vast estate Of George
| Vanderbilt in Buncombe COUNTY.
North Carolina, for example. He en-
ploys several high salaricd men whose
one duty is to sec that the treos on the
estate are unhampered in growth. The
o's sucks Ill the way of young trcos
arc cut down to give the latter al op-
portunlty TO grow. These men walk
through the timber tracts and take
note of tho existing conditions and
then set to work for the discovery and
application of remedies for whatever
owls may be apparent. These arc
men trained in the science who arc
quick at detecting those things that
should not be. Thoy are regularly in
structed by experienced mon, much
the same as one of less years is made
10 commit to memory and understand
The alphabet. The employment of
such men by the lumber companies
would ultimately result in au apprc-
clable saving to the State.
GA present danger that must not
be lost to sight is the fact that with
the disappearance of timber tracts the
country is more likely to suffer SC.
Vercly from frcshcts. The small
streams on the hill sides gather in vol
ume as they flow downward and be-
fore their confluence with larger bodies
are ragidg torrents, with current
like a mill race. Everything in the |
path is swept before. 1t is obvious to
the thinking observer of these things
that the removal of trees permits these
originally insignificant streams to
gather such force as to work irrepar-
able havoc to planters whose fields arc
in proximity to streams. Those things
should not be; they are remediablo.
If your law makors will devote some
attention to tins matter conditions
will be materially improved. Laws
are needed for protection Of forests, if |
we are TO save any trees, and the
necessity Is present."

SIDE LIGHTS ON HIsToRY.--Now,
Methuselah, during the latter years of
his long life, suffered grievously FROM
rheumatism, but, with the obstinacy
that was part of his nature, refused
to do anything for it. He said he
could stand it as long as the rheuma-
tism could.
One of his neighbors came in one
day with new patent medicine.
"Grandad,' ho said, "here is some.
thing that will relieve you. I've seen
string of testimonials yard long
from persons 1t has cured"
"I've no faith IN it," replied the
old man. "Besides it's too much
trouble"
"Just as I expected" retorted thu
other, thoroughly out of patience
"There is no fool like an old fool"
"I suppose that's So" said Methu
selan, wearily. "I've been hearing i
for the lat eight hundred years."
