A deficit of $4,000 has been discov-
cred in the appropriation for rural free
delivery. Postmaster General Payne has
ordered that no more rural routes be es-
tablshed during the remainder of the
present fiscal year, and that retrenehment
be practiced in the hope that before July
l the deficit will be recovered. 1t has
been common since the beginning of the
service to end the fiscal year with
deficit in the rural free delivery, and
Congress has annually been called upon
to make good the shortage. The growth
Of the rural service has been phenomenal.
In 1900 the appropriation for the service
was S450,000. and 1.276 routes were es-
tablished. The appropriation for the
present fiscal year was SS,029,40O, and
1902 routes are in operation. The APP
preparation for next year is $l2.G2l,1OO,
and it is estimated that by July, 1905,
there will be 27,092 routes.

Status of the Publisher.

Here is a little old straight-from-
the shoulder talk about matter lying
close to our heart. There seems to
be a feeling among business men
that a newspaper has no business to
make money. Why not? 1t is the
most exacting business in the world,
the most trying in everyway. 1t
means long hours and the grertest
care in its conduct. The newspaper
has the entire public to deal with.
1t is criticised on all occasions. 1t
has to deal with all the cranks in the
community, and to do this success
fully requires good judgment and
patience. 1t has power, and that
power, to the credit of journalism,
is nearly always welded for the pub
lie good. No question OF vital con.
cernto the home people fails to 6nc
"a strong support from the home
newspaper, and this, too, without
remuneration. The publisher spends
his money to further these project:
and the community never gives {
thought to the matter of cost to him
It is not paid out Of the public pock

THE KICKER.

The kickers on the farm are
not so hard to get along with as
the kickers in the towns. On
the farm there are the kicking
COW and our friend, the mule,
while in town there is the old
mossback, who wants all the
privileges of municipal living
without paying for them and
blocks so far as he can every
municipal improvement, Then
there is the political kicker that
says the government has gone to
the bow-wows, and will lose all
their votes IN the precinct be-
cause a governor or congressman
didn't do as he wanted them to.
There is also the religious
kicker who thinks all business
should be run on the Zion City
principle, give everything to the
churches and pay your own ex-
penses, aud govern the people by
the rule laid down by the Phara-
see.
Then there is the business
kicker that thinks business is
overdone because some one goes
into the same business he does
and gets up-to-date aud advertises
in the great family newspaper
aud secures all the trade. OF
course he kicks because he doesn't
think the town or people amount
to darning needle.
Then there is the bum kicker
that stands, or rather sits, on the
dry goods boxes, borrows a chaw
Of terbacker and a jack knife and
whites and kicks because gam
blers and toughs have to obey
the law and respect other people
besides themselves. They kick
at the ministers for trying to I'M
prove the morals of the town and
keep some of the innocent out of
their vile clutches. They kick at
the authorities for enforcing the
law. They kick if you want
them to work aud won't trust

Some School Law Amendments.

Among the amendments to the
school law is one that provides
for additional schooling for coun-
try districts as follows: "Any
pupil who shall successfully COM
plete the work of the eighth
grade as established in the state
course of study, is privileged to
continue his school work up to
and including the twelfth grade,
by attending any neighboring
graded school furnishing a high
er course of study; and the tuition
therefor shall be paid by the
board of his home district; pro-
vided his home district does not
provide such instruction in such
higher grade"
In order to protect school Off
GERS from the sharp chart agents,
the following clause was enacted:
1T is especially provided fur
ther that no school district board
shall buy any apparatus, chart or
similar device, unless said board
Is expressly authorized to do so
by majority of the school cleo
tors of such school district at a
regular or a regularly called

Liquid Koal, the Great Germ

Worms, germs and insects are the
great destroyers of human, animal
and vegetable life. Science today tells
US that flesh stands at the mercy o
these deadly germs. The moment that
the outside or the inside of an animal
becomes irritated innumerable mil
lions of germs set up their deadly work,
fermentation sets in and the affected
parts become sore and congested and
the animal or fowl has some germ dis
ease. Study to know more of what
germs are and how easy it is to eradi-
cate and destroy all forms of worms,

Patent Drugs and the Temperance

Why do not the temperance peo-
pie fight the patent medicine enemy?
That is question we would like to
have any member OF the w. c. T..
w., or other similar organization an
swer. If it is admitted that the
army canteen made drunkards,
surely the patent-medicine syndi-
Gates make athousand times as many.
No one is ignorant OF the fact that
there aremany million dollars worth
of these alcoholic nostrums sold each
year, and that multitudes of people
are thus secretly and ignorantly
turned into drunkards. Last year
a great temperance reformer's por.
trait and testimonials were blaz~
oned in every yellow journal in the
country, extolling the virtues of a
nostrum largely made up of alcohol.
1t was the alcohol in it that "cured"
