PATRONS OF THE FREE RURAL DELIv-
cry SYSTEM MUST SEE THAT THE
ROADS ARE KEPT OPEN.
George H. Jackson, New Milford's
efficient and popular postmaster, hands
us the following ruling made by Cen
eral superintendent A. w. Machen of
the free delivery system, relative to
keeping the roads free from snow
blockade. The observations OF Super
intendent Mechen are sensible, and, as
the farmers prize the rural delivery
service highly, his suggestions are
likely to be needed. His letter follows:
The Department looks to the pa
irons of the rurul free delivery service,
who are receiving the benefits Of the
service, to use their utmost personal
endeavorS, and also to exert their in
tiuence with the road supervisors, or
with those officials who are responsible
for the condition of the highways, to
the end that the roads travelled by ru-
raj carriers may be always kept open
and in such passable shape that the
service can be regularly and punctual-
ly performed.
Should the regularity OF the service
be needleSSly destroyed as the result of
inattention and lack of care bestowed
on the highways, the permanent with
drawal of the delivery will very likely
result.
Rural letter carriers are required to
serve their routes regularly at all sea-
| SONS of the year and in every kind of
weather when it can be done without
seriously imperiling their lives or en-
dangering their conveyances or the
United States mail which is in their
custody. A.
Patrons should clear away the snow
drifts, so that carriers can drive up to
and reach boxes from their vehicles
| without diSmOunting.
1t is not a part of the carriers duty
| to break out the roads after severe
snow storms.
Rural carriers are expected to ener-
getically try to serve their routes even
though the conditions may be extreme
ly adverse, and any undue lack of zeal
on their part should be promptly
brought to the attention of this office
for such action as the merits of the
case require. Respectfully,-[A A. NJ
Machan, General Superintendent.

TRIBUTE POLISHED CUBE OF
KOA FOR HAWAITS EXHIBIT.

John Casper of Napoopoo offers to
contribute a very handsome specimen
of kOa wood for the Hawaiian Exhibit

however, that the expenses of freight
be paid by the Fair committee.

size. He will have the cube cut and
polished ready for exhibition purposes.
All he asks is that the expenses of
transporting the thing from Napoopoo
ITO st. Louis be betrayed by whoever is
in charge of the Hawaiian exhibit. He
is willing to have the wood donated to
the Bishop Museum after the close of
the St Louis Exposition

the record for a single days work but
there was no more room aboard the

NEW YEARS CALLS.
This Practice of Former Years Might Become Once More n Custom If
 Revived by the Children.

As merry day as Christmas is for the children, it is usually rather quiet for the grown people, their principal occupation being to watch the young folks enjoy themselves. From Christi mas until New Year, though, the grown people make up in gayety for their Sunday-like quiet on the 25th, but the children have just as much fun at the same time.
 There are more parties at Christmas time than there are even during the long summer holidays. and they are jollier, because the children feel more energetic and bright and lively with the cold weather and the happy spirit of the season. There are so many delightful ways to entertain, too; so many games and things that are only suitable for indoors.
 There is one holiday practice which has almost passed with history, and yet it is beautiful one which the chil dren might do we'll to revive. It is the old custom of New Years calls. Un- til a few years ago it was the usual thing for everybody to call on every body else the first day of the year. People who had homes opened them to their friends, and popular people had a steady stream of callers all day who paid their respects, were served refreshments and went on their way to the next friends home. It was all very pleasant, but it has passed out, although efforts are being made to renew the practice.
 Why should not the children help in this revival? They have nothing to do, as a rule, on New Years day, and they would doubtless find it delight ful to put on their best bib and tucker and call on all their young friends. It would be splendid opportunity to display their new Christmas fnery, and at the same time extend to their friends their cordial good wishes for a happy year. Should the children be- gin calling, it would be habit with them and thus as they grow older New Years calls would become an es- tablished custom, as it used to be.
