tional Ship to Venezuela.

decided to send an additional ship to
LaGuaria and tomorrow on the arrival

IOWA LEADS RURAL ROUTES
Nineteen Counties Are Completely
Covered by Carriers.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The report
Df the first assistant postmaster gen.
sral Tor the year ending October 80
shows that Iowa has more rural mail
delivery routes than any state in the
union.
This state is credited with 1902 es.
tablished routes. Illinois Is next with
9SS and Ohio third with SS5. Indiana
has ST. and michigan 637. No other
state has to exceed 500 routes.
The report states that on November
ten additional routes which had been
approved would be added to the ser.
vice, making total of 1,102 now &c.
tually established. In all 1857 appli.
cations for routes have been fled from
this state. or the $50 applications
pending the report shows 10 have
been reported on favorably by inspec.
tors, which means this number will
soon be added to the routes being
served, 40 have been reported unfav.
orable and 456 petitions are pending.
In Iowa 71.06 per cent of the applica.
tons have been considered.
The table shows that in Iowa the
work has been more systematically
carried out than in any other state in
the union, that it has been the policy
to consider the state by counties with
the view of completing the service for
whole counties at time and that nine.
teen counties if Iowa are now fully
supplied. while applications pending
when acted on will complete the ser.
vice in majority of the counties in
the state.
The increase in the number OF
routes established in the state has
been over SO per cent in the past
year.
No other state makes as favorable .
showing in number Of routes applied
for and reported favorably by inspec.
tors as Iowa, but in two other states
the total number of APPLICATIONS filed
exceeds the total in Iowa. Illinois has
filed 2,0O7 petitions and Ohio 1863
Nevada is the only state that has nc
rural routes.

PROPORTIONS.
THE r. MAYER boot D SHOE co. of
Milwaukee, Wis.,, Now Occupies 8 Ia
Acres Of Floor Space, and has Capa-
city for Making Six Thousand
Pairs Of Shoes Per Day.

Just "a years ago Mr.. r. Mayer established
o shoe factory in Milwaukee, and began the
manufacture of shoes In q modest way. The
working force at that time was small and the
facilities inadequate, yet II was the foundation
OF what was destined to be one Of the largest
shoe factories In this country. The underlying
business principle was then, as now, to produce
the best shoes possible, ut the lowest prices.
That this policy was successful has been dem.
onstrated by the fact that shoes bearing the
Mayer trade mark arc now sold In every state
and territory west OF the Ohio River. Over 600
people are kept busy rs bees supplying o de.
mand that has steadily increased as q result OF
the universal satisfaction given by Mayors

outside manufacturers can not obtain thus

Something like 40 travelling statesmen are

The magnitude OF this business can best be an.
preciated when you take into consideration that

shoes can be turned out every working day.
The business Is now conducted under the
