An exchange says MANY people
evidently are not aware that rural
mail carriers do not have TO turn ont
for other teams they meet on the high
way" remarked one Of Uncle Sans
Rural carriers 81 But such is the law.
The United States mail has the right
OF way over everything else and We
arc not Obliged toturn out for vehicles
unless we choose TO do So The
carrier said some times thOughtless
drivers OF other rigs crowd them off
the highway, especially when the roads
are narrow. "Mail wagons must neces-
sarily be light and cannot stand
collisions with the heavy farm wagons.
If farmers and others would exercise
little thoughtful ness and make way
for the mail wagons. they will earn
the everlasting gratitude OF the rural
carriers

An exchane says that some farmers
in Minnesota have adopted unique
method of filling their ice houses,
which saves them the work of cutting
and hauling ice. They fill their hou-
ses by running water into them from
wells, pouring on an inch every day
in cold weather, and add more as. it
freezes till the house is full. A mix
ture OF snow and water daubed on the
inside of the ice house will prevent the
water from leaking out before it freez-
es. Every Is or 20 inches, as the ice
house is being filled, layer of ord
mary building paper is spread on
which allows the ice TO come in layers
when il is used. In many places il lake
or river ice is used il has TO be hauled
five or eight miles. BY making the
ice in the house from water, it costs
almost nothing. and is in such solid
mass that it keeps better than ice in
blocks.
