PENNSYLVANIA Dutch Winter Siuns,

A dispatch from Allentown, Pa. IL,
says that already the local tree bark
aud goose bone prognosticators are
agreed on the fact that the unusual
heat of this summer is going to be
followed by a regular old fashioned
hard winter. Statements are coming
i'll that the corn husks are much thick
er this year than they have been for
long time IA sure sign of hard
pan winter" There will also be an
enormous yield of chestuuts, acorns,
beechnuts and other fruits of the for
estry, upon which birds and beasts
depend for food during the winter.
Still another sign of long aud bit
ter winter is found in the ac-
tivity of barn mice. Close observers
say these little animals have already
begun the work of building their
nests, and that they are making them
this year unusually coy and warm.
Last year they seemed to give little
attention TO the building of their
winter homes; but this year they are
not only beginning to build them un-
usually early, but they are giving re-
markable care aud attention to their
architecture.

The rural mail routes were estab.
lished for the benefit of rural homes,
or in other words the farmers. They
have proven II greater benefit and
blessing to the farmers than was an
ticipated by the most sanguine. A
farmer who has once enjoyed the ad
vantages of the rural mail service
would hardly know how to live with
out it. 1t did not come to the farm
or, however. until he had many times
earned it. The farmers are our heav-
lest taxpayers. What property they
have is in plain sight and is taxed
while the city man, at least many of
them, who deals in notes and bonds
is enabled to hide his wealth from tho
assessor. For quarter of century
the mail has been carried to the city
homo, not once, but many times each
day. Finally the big heart of Uncle
Sam has reached out to tho men who
feed the world.
