HOW TO HELP YOUR NEIGHBORHoOD SOME
WORK FOR THE LEIsURE SEAsON ON THE
FARM

We presume, kind reader, that you are now be-
ginning to clay by" your crops, or that, at any
rate, you will begin very soon. We congratulate
you on the "good'time coming" for we know how
we used to look forward to laying by time" when
we were ON the farm; in the newspaper business
our work is never "laid by"
But what are you going to do with the season
of comparative leisure that is soon to be yours?
Perhaps you feel now that you saould just like, to
lie in the shade and rest, but one gets enough of
that very quickly. Of course, there are some Wis
its to relatives and friends that you have planned
for yourself and your wife; and there is the good,
old-fashioned "protracted meeting" with it's spir-
itual uplift and it's helpful social features.
When all this is done, however, some time will
still remain, and we wish to suggest some ways
in which you can use it to good advantage. We
believe that you can help your neighborhood-
make it more progressive and a better place to
live in. To have the opportunity of doing such
work is really a high privilege. You remember
the words of Carlyle: ooh, it is great, and there
is no other greatness-to make some nook of
Gods creation more fruitful, better, more worthy
of God" etc. True words-and we believe there
is a call for you now to just this kind of greatness.
X X X
In the nfSt place, we wonder II you have rural
free delivery of mails. Your neighborhood is
paying its share of the taxes to maintain the SER
vice; why not get some of it's benefits? Every
day some new North Carolina route is going into
operation. We have $50 of them now, and there
were only II at this time two years ago. The re-
cent talk of more stringent regulations has been
much exaggerated. AL that the Government de-
mands IS that the route be approximately 25 miles
long, that it serve 100 people or more, and that
the roads be good enough to enable the carrier to
make the trip in a day. We think you can map
out a line that will meet these requirements, and
if so, you can get a carrier to deliver your mail
daily. To argue as to the merits of the system is
unnecessary; they are self-evident. If you are
interested, talk to your neighbors about the mat
ter, and write your Congressman for further in
formation. The carrier gets 5000 a year, and if
you can find some one who wishes to get the APP
pointment as carrier, he will probably make the
canvass for signers to the petition.
Next, you ought to have a library in your pub
lie school. It will be of incalculable value in
deepening the interest of the pupils and in pro-
noting a love of reading. The last Legislature,

We wish you had the rural telephone system,
with telephones all over your county. They put
the farmer into touch with the world, and save
time enough in a month or two to pay their cost
