intimated that many Of the liquor deal

healthful outdoor sports, but desiring
rather to encourage an interest in the

stnn. IIn Eor Kanaaa.

You can't lose Kansas at any turn OF
the road Her people are as quick with
their wits in the big marts OF civlllza-
ton as they are with their scythes and
more dangerous blades on their native
heath. Senator Plumb Of Kansas got
away with a Gothamite some years
ago at a Waldorf-Ast dinner given
to a Kansas delegation by plutocrats
with axes TO grind. The fish course
presented itself in the form of a mann
moth salmon couchant and rampant
amid its garniture.
'You don't have fish like that in Kan
sas, do you senatorT asked the New
Yorker.
NO" drawled the westerner. 1--WE
don't need 'em. The Lord knows where

Rural Delivery Notes

The readjustment adopted with the
increase OF upward Of S0,oO0,oO0 made
in the appropriation by congress will
involve an aggregate expenditure for
rural service during the next fiscal
year OF nearly S35,0O0,OO0. The sched-
ule is as follows: Routes OF "a or more
miles, 5000 per annum; % to "a miles,
SS04; 20 TO % miles. $50; is to 20
miles, $720; 16 to IS miles, $500; IA to
10 miles, $40; - to "a miles. S6Oi; 10
to II miles, S46s; to 10 miles, S432;
6 to miles, $780,
Information has been received at the
postonicc department that the legisla-
ture Of Tennessee recently enacted a
bin which is now law declaring all
roads In that state Travelled by rural
carriers TO be public roads and provid-
ing that all gates on such roads shall
be taken down at once. AS one OF the
requirements In connection with the
maintenance OF rural delivery service
Is that gates and other distinctions
must be removed from the roads, this
law win doubtless facilitate the estab-
lishment and continuance OF rural de-
livery in Tennessee.
Rural mail deliveries on a route in
Kenosha county, Wis, have been dis
continued by the government because
OF the failure Of the community to
keep the roads in a satisfactory condi-
tlon. The community will remain cut
on from delivery service until the roads
are repaired. Other routes In the state
will be deprived OF deliveries unless
travel IS made smoother for the car
rlers. For some time the postal de-
partment has been trying TO Impress
upon the benedclarles Of rural routes
that they would have to see that the
roads were In good condition. It Is
said that IN cases where warnings
have not been needed and repairs made
drastic action will now be taken.
