The Coconino sun., 1904-12-17

The rapid increase of the free mail delivery under republican auspices ought to give paying employment to thousands of men, if there are so many in need of work. By the first of July, 1905, it is estimated that this service will embrace 5000 different routes, and it is expected that for the fiscal year following 5000 more routes will be added. Altogether this VIII cost about s26, 900, 900 annually. It is doubtful if any other industry in the country grows more rapidly or pays better wages. Now, if an efficient par cells post could be added, the benefits to the rural and commercial commun- ities would be beyond computation. This will come just as soon as the peo- pie demand it and can be had for the same price.

An exchange says: A merchant in a neighboring town states that his ad : vertising last year cost him forty cents on every hundred dollars worth of merchandise sold. He used half page together with good showing of local liners and was represented in every issue of both town papers. This year he has contracted for full page and declares that he shall continue to advertise as long as people continue to read newspapers The biggest and best merchants in the world believe in newspaper advertising. The man who ignores it may succeed for time, but he will have to gi way to the com petitor who makes better use of his opportunities.

At last the pension roll of the United States exceeds one million of persons, the number now being 1000, 79l. It is thought the maximum has been reached. There has been corresponding in- crease in the payments, but it is given out that the expenses of running the bureau are to be curtailed, and that in the near future some five hundred clerks may be dispensed with. Many of them are receiving larger salaries than they could earn if left to their own resources and reductions are pro- posed. As Speaker Cannon says, one way to make both ends meet is to prac- tice economy. Other people have to do this and government employees are not exempt from the common lot of humanity.

Apple PIckers Strike.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Sept. 13.-The large
orchard of BradweH & Haviland, con-
sisting Of 100 acres of apple trees,
was the scene Of strike among the
apple pickers engaged in gathering
the large crop. which will amount to
several hundred carloads. Boys have
been engaged very largely in the
work of gathering and when Mr.. Havi-
land expressed his intention Of Sc
curing larger force of men the boys
forthwith went on a strike. The
cause was due to the scale in force,
which is known as the average scale.
A compromise was effected at once
and the scale changed by which each
person is paid by the bushel This
worked so we'll that many Of the lads
excel the men in gathering, some Of
them gathering as high as sixty.eight
bushels per day.
Two Days for Harvest Homo.
Ames, Ia, Sept. 12,-Arrangements

will be held at the Iowa State col
lege, Sept. 80 and Oct. 1. It has been
the custom Of years past to hold this
festival for one day only, but on ac-
count of the immense crowds that at
tend annually it has become necessary
to extend it over longer period of
time that everyone may be properly
cared for. The territory traversed
by the Chicago and Northwestern lines
will be covered the first day and the
second. day by the lines of other roads.
These excursions have become very
popular and afford everyone in rea-
sonable distance an opportunity Of
visiting one of the greatest institu-
tions of its kind in the world at
verv nominal cost.
