How TO Start a Free Delivery.

Having been asked as to the methods
necessary to.secure a rural free delivery
the Hon II. II, Brooks addressed a
letter to Congressman Chandler, and
received the following reply, which will
explain itself
Corinth, Miss, Sept "A, 1925.
Mr.. II. II. Brooks, Jr.
Macon. Miss.
Dear Harden;
Your favor of t 18th inst, is TO
hand andsn reply will say that in order
to secure the establishment of Ruri |
Delivery it is necessary to have some
one circulate petition and secure the
signature thereon OF 100 heads OF families
where the route desired is 2I miles in
length, Where il is of less length pro-
portionate number of signatures is re
quired. When petition is thus signed
it must be indorsed by the member of
congress from the district in which it is
circulated or by one Of the United States
Senator'S of that State and filed with
the Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral at Washington. 1t is then referred
to the Rural Delivery inspector for in
vcstigation and report, and is he ap-
proves it, and it is afterwards approved
by the posoffice department, in due time
it will be ordered into effect. A route
can be started from any postoffice hav-
ing daily mail, although the depart.
ment always prefers to make the start
ing point a railroad postoffice. and al
ways do so when it is possible.
| herein inclose blank petition, to-
gcther with instructions, etc. which will
give full information in reference to the
matter, Truly your friends,

county, and Chamberlain in Brule coun- ty, and the Chicago X Northwestern's gates to the range at Pierre and Gettys- burg, have swarmed with cattle, have echoed to the shrieking whistles of the stock trains and yet more stock trains, and the cattle have been driven over the Missouri river-South Dakota's great night and by day.
 At Evarts and at Chamberlain there are pontoon bridges-a bridge of planking stretched across row of boats half mile over the great muddy stream. Often young cattle from the south. wild as the bison of century ago. felt the unaccustomed trembling of the plank ing under their feet, were seized with panic of fear and "bunched up" Imme- diately the weight of the struggling cat tie at a single point bore down the boats under them. and the river instantly would be filled with swarm of young cattle, swimming for dear life. their long horns reared high above the water. and their eyes. .glaring and wild.
 It was a great task for the cowboys to get those derelict cattle back to shore. either on the west or east side. In some cases the rapidly-swimming animals were borne down stream to a point where the sharp declivity of the banks prevented their landing. Many times dead animals have been found near these shores. starved and exhausted after struggling vainly in the water for days. The aggregate loss was small as compared with the total number of cat tie taken across the pontoons. but the excitement of the migration has been enhanced. by these episodes a hundred fold.

With more vociferous hallooing and swearing, and cracking of whips and swirling of lariats, the cars one after another are loaded
 This loading has been in progress at 100 different points, in Arkansas, in Texas, in New Mexico and at Ell Paso. The cars generally are loaded 40 head to car and the freight to the common points of South Dakota was therefore but little more than $2.50 per head on an. average. Starting out in many cases double header" under fast schedule, the trains have been rolling northward, night and day. for two score of days, every energy being pended to land the shipments on the new pastures before the hot weather set in. The weather has continued cool in the north, and the believing young beeves have been turned in good condition into the mammoth pastures, some of which con- tain over 100000 acres.
 The rains have changed the brown prairie to velvet green like the lawns of city park, and conditions could not have been better for the anxious ranch men who have invested so many thou- sands and hundreds of thousands of dol lars in the stranger herds.

 white men slaughter the beef cattle in their manner in this age of progress
 The buffalo grass, the short grass oi fame, which grows on the millions Of acres west of the Missouri river in South Dakota was the enticement for the bison, as it is now for the cattle and the cattle owners. It is so sweet and nutritious that a two-year old ani' nal will add 30 per cent. more weight in a year of pasturing upon it. than the brothers and sisters of the same animal will add on the pastures of the longer grasses of the far southwest. Many times cattlemen have sold their "short-grass'' cattle within 50 cents per 100 pounds of the price paid. for fat cattle. There is no beef which is so iuicy or so we'll "marbled" as that of the beef from the Dakota range.
 It is but a few years since the experi- ment of shipping was tried; cattlemen stock to Dakota was tried; cattlemen made fortunes the first few years. Then cattlemen grew reckless-the price paid for Texas stuff was raised and the profits decJined. Some hard winters decimated the herds. and ship ments from the south were reduced. This year, however. the cattlemen of the range country have surplus of cash as result of a winter so mild that their losses were not two per cent; moreover the cattlemen have come to realize that the native northern cattle suffered in the winter storms almost as severely as the Texans. There was an early indication of big purchases in the southwest, and the railroads live stock agents, alert to this. were prompt to put in a rate such as would be i'm possible, for instance, if the proposed plan of giving governmental com mision the rate-making power were now to be operative.
 It was soon discovered that the "panhandle" of Texas had almost no surplus of young stock-its surplus was marketed last year to turn 1t into money. The agents of the railroads and of the big ranchmen. therefore. went further to the southwest. to the Mexican border at Fl Paso and across the Rio Grande. where was found a great surplus of young stun"
 Therefore, the migration of the herds this year will very largely be from lush grass country and the noun tains and valleys Of northern Mexico. The cattle are smaller than the Tex ans. of poorer grade. but so cheap that the ranchme1 did not hesitate, but bought the Mexican surplus by thou sands. by tens of thousands. The pic. tuesqueness of the spectacular north ward exodus is heightened by the re appearance from Mexico of the long horns which years ago were typical of the Texan stock
 During the last three months there has been in progress in the southwest. then. a general roundup of mammoth proportions. and the yearlines of size and the tvo-yesr-olds are cut out for the northern men with much hallooing swirling of lasso.s and swearing in Spanish and the Mexican patois- The wild. untamed young animals are driven ir:o fee soT-sls for loading

 A score of farmers sitting on trucks, boxes and the depot platform in a patch of shade at one end of the depot arise eagerly and crane their necks gazing down the line of shimmering rails where in the distapce column of smoke tells of the approaching train, says a Cleveland Qian.) correspondent of the Kansas City Star. moment later the mixed accommodation train has stopped at the water tank, and the farmers are running along the string of cars toward the two passenger coaches at the end, out of the windows of which many harvesters' heads are pro truding.
 Then begins the dickering for terms. The harvest hands are reluctant to dis embark. They feel their importance and wish to be coaxed They think that If they go farther they will get better wages. One or two get on and are quickly contracted for by the farm CTS. Others ask. What are you pay ingT"
 "rn pay whatever h customary" ]" says one farmer.
 You'll have to be more specific than that to influence me." declares one of the brave harvest hands.
 ''oh. you all want to go farther west" says one farmer scornfully. They are paying SC a day at Pratt. and working hours are from nine to eleven there. We have the eight hour day here-eight hours before noon and eight hours after. When you start to bed you meet yourself coming out to breakfast"
 What we ought to have done.- said a farmer as the train pulled out.

which is kept in state of tension or
