The macaroni wheat question
seems to have dropped out of sight
during the wet spell. Probably
the wheat has come out all right.
as wheat will be wheat before the
next crop is harvested. We will
bet our old dog Tige that nearly
all who are kicking against maca-
roni wheat could not tell the diff.
erence between the two wheats-
but yet they kick just like an old

The game law throughout this

We do like the idea of giving a

of the thing. 1t is high time that
something was done. Here is
another chance for the extra ses-

ITEMS OF WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
Congressman Marshall Suggests Meth
cd OF Establishing More Rural
Free Delivery Routes in
North Cahcta.

Congressman Marshall is trying to
get ahead OF Mr.. Bristow, the fourth
assistant to Postmaster General Payne.
Tho ruling Of the department that no
free rural route would be established
unlcsS serving at least 100 families,
effect1aIly tied up sixty 81 seventy pc
titions duly presented to the depart
ment THROUGH the congressman. Sone
tjmc ago lie wrote Mr.. Briatow sug-
costing that in cases where W routes
were asked for, and neither having the
required number Of families, an every
other-day. service be provided over
each. the same carrier to carry the
nails cn both routes, Mr.. Bristow
ACKNOWLEDGED the receipt Of the letter
and stated that the suggestion was Of
so much importance that it had been
referred to the postmaster general him
self. Nothing has yet been heard from
the latter, but when the opportunity
presents itself the matter will be
pressed By Mr.. Marchall and it is be-
lieved with q fair prospect Of success.
The service suggested by MI. Mar
shall would be o sort of star route
service and more persons would be
benefited by it than under the 100
family plan. Every route would have
from fifty to seventy-fve families and
as the country settles up the list would
steadily grow. The farmers would be
satisfied. for they would get their mail
every other day and have it brought
to their doors. and, besides, there
would be the certainty that in a short
time, by reason of new immigration
and settlement, their routes would
soo have 100 families for patrons and

probability be established. Before this
point was reached there would be no
decrease, but rather an increase, in
revenue for the government, and the
law would be doing just what it was
devised to do, serving the largest num-
Der of patrons at the minimum of ex-
nenSe.
