1t seems hard to believe that during
all the long ages which passed between

Yet no fact seems established more
clearly than this. Hahn in his IVAN

that is the outgrowth of mental lethar-

1t Is difficult to determine the fnan-
cial benefits the farmers receive from
the establishment of the system of ru-
raj free delivery. but eX-AsSiStant Post.
master General Heath. treating of the
question in one of his reports, summed
up the benefits to farmers as follows:
Reimbursement Of the value of the
farm lands reached by rural free deliy-
cry This increase Of the value has
been estimated us high as s. per acre
I'm some states. \ moderate estimate IS
from 81 to So per acre. \ general i'm
prOYemcnt Of the conditions of the
roads traversed by the rural carrier.
In the western states especially the
construction of good roads has been a
prerequisite of the establishment Of
rural free delivery. In one county in
Indiana Il special agent reports that
the farmers incurred an expense OF
over 5000 TO grade and gravel road
IN ORDER to obtain rural free delivery.
Better prices obtained for farm prod
ucts. the producers being brought into
daily touch with the state of the mar
kets and thus being enabled to take adj
qntage of information heretofore un.
attainable."
And then he very forcefully adds:
'''TO these material advantages may
be added the educational advantages
conferred by relieving the monotony
of farm life through ready access to
wholesome literature and the keeping
Of all rural residents, the young peo-
pie rs well as their elders, fully in
formed as to the stirring events OF
the day. The moral value of these civ
liking influences cannot be too highly
rated"
But let the rural population not fail
to observe that the statement is made
that 1.-The construction of good roads
has been a prerequisite of the estab-
lishment of rural free delivery serv-
ice" and 1t will be continued Il pre-
requisite in the future. 1t Is an old
a.lase that 'thc Lord helps those who
help themselves" and the government
seems to think ii rule worthy of en-
ulation. This great boon of rural free
mail delivery with all of its conven'
.ences and educational and moral in.
rucnces will be denied those commune
ties that lack the energy and spirit OF
progress TO pave the way for 1t by paw

RURAL DELIVERY.
BAD ROADS PROVING AN OBSTACLB
TO IT'S EXTENSION.

Growth of the Service and How II
Benefits the Rural Population.
Good Highways Prerequisite OF
Its Establishment.
One Of the greatest arguments for
good roads Is the rural free delivery.
The last report of the postofIice depart
ment says:
Rural free delivery service has be-
come an established fact. 1t Is no lon
ger In the experimental stage, and I'M
doubleday congress will continue TO in
crease the appropriation for this serv-
ice until all the people Of the country
are reached where it is thicIlly enough
settled TO warrant it. The estimates of
the department are to the effect that
the available territory for this service
embraces about million square miles,
or one-third of the country's area ex-
elusive of Alaska. The 1850 routes
now in operation cover about one-third
Of the available territory. The rapid
extension of the service will of course
iiNANhoN llit b|itiio lllt HtAl
three years. After 1t is completed the
revenues will quickly feel the effect OF
its establishment. and whatever deficit !
may be occasloned will gradually dis
appear. 1t will also be interesting to
note that rural free delivery carriers
received applications during the last |
year for Cos, 948 money orders"
Recent experiments have demonstrate
cd that this service can be extended in |
many localities 10 the rural population, |
says the president of the Missouri Good |
Roads association. There Is one obsta-
Gle, however, that has confronted most |
Of the efforts to extend this system, |
and this is the absence of roads over |
which carriers can cover sufficient ter |
ritory In n given time and with regu-
larity at all seasons Of the year.
What greater benefit could accrue to |
q farmer living number of miles from |
Il town or pOstoflice than to have his
mail delivered daily mt his door? How
much Of the monotony of his isolation
would be removed if he could receive
his daily paper, read the news of the
outside world, watch the markets for
his products and be able to take advan-
tage of prices that are often lost to him
and see his children happy and content

Tricks of Language.

Cunning In the use of language to
give false impressions is Yankee trick
celebrated In song and story. Many In
stances Of its use come to light In the
testimony given In courts. An Illus
tratiOn OF such dishonest craftiness Is
related by a Maine gentleman. A man

principal prize was horse. an take

A Meviswer's Protest.
We get accustomed to the pleasant
little ways Of novelists and are some
times inclined to overlook minor sole
clsms when we remember that they are
all part Of praiseworthy effort to
please. But Just now we feel called oil
to protest against a prevalent practice
that tends to get OH the reviewers
nerves. The danger of using such
phrases as "such things might happen
In q novel. but not In real life." or "As
they gay In novels" should. ono would
think. be sufficiently apparent TO writ
ers Of fiction. "If this were novel,"
remarks an Ingenious writer. 80 and
20 might have occurred. but in nara
tive of plain fact" etc. This sort of
thing has. Of course, the sole result OF
reminding the reader that he Is reading
q novel, and II he has been beguiled by
the author into losing himself for u mo
'ment the effect IL at once dlspelled.

This prevented the ground from freez'
Ing solid. and the plants kept ON grow
Ing. OF course this has been an unusual
winter, and the soil would have frozen
solid in most seasons, yet the early
mulchlng will keep the soil open for
some weeks in any season.
The strawberry is called a cold
blooded" plant because 1t endures much
hard weather. but that is no sign that
long continued freezing does it any
good. The old idea was to mulch so nS
to keep the frost in the ground ana
prevent the heave and settle which
go with freeze and thaw. 1t is pretty
evident that considerable damage will
be done by the light freezing In au-
tumn before the ground freezes solid.
BY putting the mulch on early we pre-
vent this.
