Most ever kind of activity comes
within the range of the rural carriers
days work, but it is not likely that any
carrier has more peculiar side line
than the traffic in live eagles. Lafay-
cite Smelser, who carries the mail on
route No. 1, brought two young bald
eagles to town last week and turned
them over to Alvin Markham, who is
caring for them, and expects to sell
them to a circus some day. The birds
were captured by Alvin Lamb of Worth
county, Mo-, who found three in nest
in tree on his place, and after killing
one that was injured in the capture turn
ed the others over to Mr.. Smelser. The
young eagles are big fellows, being
about nine inches high at three weeks
of age, and betray their fierce nature by
the vigor with which they attack their
diet of meat.-Mt. Ayr News.

The time Of year has come when every
good citizen should take an interest in
the sanitary condition of the village.
Rubbish should be burned, ash heaps
hauled away, and old lumber and un-

a few hours Of spare time to cleaning
up yards, alleys and streets of things
that are scattered about promiscuously,
it would make wonderful change in
the appearance of our homes. Pride is
