No Roads-No Mail.

Therural mail carriers are experienc
ing much difficulty in making their
trips on account of the bad roads. ln
some cases the routes lie along cross
roads that are seldom travelled by the
farmers and in these cases it will re
ouire special effort to keep the roads
open,
1t is in the winter that the free de
livery system is the most greatly ap
preciated and the farmers should bano
together to keep the roads passable
1t is the duty of the carrier to make
his trip if possible, but he is not ex
pected to dig through drifts or to &c
any great distance out of his way
The routes are already above the q
mile limit.
If rural free delivery is worth hay
ing it is worth while Keeping the road:
open aud we trust that the farmers vii
lend every possible aid to this end.

Sentiment has been aroused in favor Of the
amendment Of the state game laws The pro-
vision prohibiting the sale Of game birds killed
In this state is the feature Of the statute which
has aroused the most criticism. 1t Is pointed
out that the state pays a large amount Of money
every year to protect tn birds for the benefit
of men who are rich enough to enjoy shooting
trips. while the mass Of citizens who like
prairie chickens ducks as article of diet
barred from the enjoyment of such game
One Of the objections made to the game laws
Is that they are not able to prevent the sale in
other states of game shot in Minnesota although
they do keep residents of this state from enjoy
ing game dinners.
