mond, and for which fund OF 5000. 900
has already been raised. 1t will be re-

chant prince, gave the veterans SIoo. 600
tor the construction of a battle abbey
in Richmond, Va, on condition that
they would raise another 800, 900. This
fund has now been completed. Mr..
Rouss, prior to his death, deposited
100000 of his subscription to the credit
of the Battle Abbey Committee. and the
additional $40. 900 will be paid by his es-
tate when called for. The people of
Richmond are urging the committee to
construct large auditorium in connec-
ton with the Battle Abbey. Two

to give $4,000 additional. making a
total of $40, 900, and others have prom
Used smaller contributions IN case the

Plans are being perfected at the
postoffice department to expend, dur
ing the remainder OF the current
fiscal year, the emergency appropria-
ton of 100000 made for rural free
delivery. The sum named will enable
the department. to establish little
more than 1900 routes making the
total for the year about 7,4O0. Three
Thousand petitions for routes are now
pending, and nearly third of these
are from the northwest. Several
additional county systems are now
under investigation in Wisconsin.
City free delivery will be established

free delivery is a great saving to
farmers as they get their mail daily
and do not have to spend valuable
time in going after it. Then too,
