Tribune, the oldest established
paper. Mr.. Hurley is a newspa-

The Work OF The R. F, D. Boys.

Our attention was recently called
10 an article concerning the pruning
down of government expenses, by
attacking the rural free delivery de-
partment. The manner in which
this was to be done was by letting
the routes out on contracts. We be-
.lieye that this would work to the dis
advantage of the system very serious
.ly, for as is usual with government
contract work, the carrier would
make his route in a manner, and that
manner would not be very satisfac.
tory to the patron. We believe the
present system should be maintained,
and would favor paying larger salar'
les to the carriers, rather than to let
the contracts out and have poor
service. The carrier system is very
efficient. and it gives the farmer what
he has a right to expect from the
government when one considers the
many advantages other classes have,
and he is entitled to the best going in
general anyway. Pay the carriers
enough money and keep the present
system. The farmer will be better
satisfied.

You Must
Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state Of
the brain, which will soon de-

Nature demands sleep, and

of Inconsistencies relaxes the
