INCREASE FOR CARRIERS.
Mall Dellverers on Longest Rural
Routes to Get 5000.

Washington, D. c., March 2l.-Under
the recent act of congress making APP
preparations for the postal service for
the ensuing fiscal year, the postmaster
general may fix the salaries of carriers
in the rural delivery service at rate
not exceeding 5000 per annum, after
July 1, 1907. The highest rate now
paid under the existing law is $720 per
annum. The readjustment of salaries
under the new law has been fully de-
termined, but it is purposed to allow
the maximum rate, 5000, to all carriers
on routes twenty-four or more miles in
in length as shown by records of the
department. This will give approx
mately 22,SOO, or about 8 per cent of
the carriers an advance in salary of
$3.50 per annum.
A substantial increase in pay for the
other carriers is contemplated, but the
chief beneficaries of the new law will
be those serving the longer routes upon
whom the greater hardships of the SER
vices fall. The carriers on the shorter
routes, ranging from twelve to fourteen
and from fourteen to sixteen miles, now
receive 1904 and $40 per annum, re-
spectively, being proportionately better
paid than the carriers on routes of
twenty Or more miles. The pay of sub
stitute rural carriers will also be in
creased in many cases.
This advance in pay for the carriers
and substitutes, it is estimated, will
result in an approximate increase of
$5,900,000 in the cost of the rural de-
livery service.

What a Daughter Can Do.

There is so much that daughter can
do for her mother that it is hard to be-
gin.
Suppose we start with how she can
help with the homework and care of
the younger children.
For years the mother has had entire
charge of both, and it is time she was
relieved.
Patiently and uncomplainingly she
has drudged along with no thought but
for her children's welfare and comfort.
1t should be the daughters joy, as
we'll as duty, to bring little recrea-
tion and pleasure into her mothers life.
Remember, girls, that all your lives
your mothers have been sacrificing
themselves for you.
Now you have a chance to reverse
things.
Your shoulders are young and strong;
help lift the burden little from the
tired shoulders that have borne it so
long.
Take the heaviest part of the house,
work off her hands.
Make her stay in bed in the morning
while you get breakfast.
Send her out to enjoy herself while
you look after the children.
OF course you cannot do this every
day, but you can do your share of it.
1t you are business woman, you can
not do much of this sort of thing, but
there are many little pleasures you can
give her.
Something pretty to wear will please
her. She is woman, you know, and
likes pretty things as we'll as you do.
Contide in her, and tell her your hopes
and ambitions. She is better than all
the girl friends in the world, and will
never tell your secrets.
The trouble about mothers is that we
get so used to them that we don't half
appreciate them until we lose them.
Then quickly enough we realize what
all that divine care and tenderness
meant.
Girls, before it is too late mako the
most of your mothers.
No matter how much you do, you can't
begin to return all they have done for
you, but do the best you can.
A little love and petting is always
appreciated by mothers; try it with
yours and see if she don't thrive under
it.
AS for the girls who talk and act dis
respectfully toward their mothers, fol
them no criticism is too harsh.
If they only knew what outsiders
think of it, think they would stop it
i The prettiest girl in the world is alb
solutely devoid of charm if she is i'm
pertinent to her mother.
\ Begin to-day girls, and save YOU
mothers all the worries you can; show
them all the consideration you can
and give them all the love you can

Mrs. Philena Mcyay returned Fri

Mrs. Philena McVay returned Fri
day from an extended trip to Kansas
and California. She spent two winter
months at Long Beach and Los Angeles
and thinks it SO delightful that in all
probability she will return next winter.
She says it is not true, as reported,
that the seals do not come out upon the
rocks near the Cliff House since the
earthquake as she herself saw them
there. She also says that you cannot
tell that anything has been done to-
ward rebuilding the city as the marks
of the earthquake are yet SO evident.
She returned via Annabel, Mo-, where
her daughter, Mrs. Aaron Ecton and
family are just leaving for their new
home in Montana, having sold out
in Missouri and purchased section Of
land for $4,000 near Bozeman, Mont,
and only four miles from W. B. McVay
and family Weldon American.

Something Refreshing

in the form Of beverage is desired by
everyone, especially in summer, but be
careful what that something is. Before
you take it into your,system know that
il is pure and wholesome, that it is free
from disease germs or chemical adulter-
ations injurious to health. Therefore
when you drink, drink OTTUMWA
BEER, which has stood every known
test for absolute purity and healthful-
ness.

Worth Knowing About.

If you need frst-class laxative,
there is nothing better nor safer than
that old family remedy, Brandreth's
Pills. Each pill contains one grain of
solid extract of sarsaparilla, which,
with other valuable Vegetable products,
make it a blood purifier of excellent
character. If you are troubled with
constipation, one pill at night will
afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over a
century ard are sold in every drug and
medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

BEAUTY IN NATURE.

There is beauty in the spring-time,
In the budding of the flowers;
There is beauty in the bird songs
Echoing through the leafy bowers.
Beauty in the laughing streamlet,
Rippling DER its pebbly bed,
Beauty in the heecy cloudlets
In the springtime sky o'erhead,
There is beauty in the rain drops
Glistening on the dripping trees,
Beauty in the waving flowers,
Famed by every wayward breeze;
In the rivers placid bosom,
Where are mirrored cloud and sky,
Beauty in the song bird soaring
Through the ether blue on high.
There Is beauty In the autumn,
With its brightly tinted leaves,
Beauty in the few pale flow'rets
Over which the zephyr grieves.
Beauty in the snow of winter,
White and spotless, pure and cold;
Beauty when the wintry sunlight
Casts DER all a glow like gold.
Yes, there's beauty In all Nature
In all seasons as they fly
Beauty in the fields about US,
Beauty in the azure sky;
Beauty, whether May-day sunshine
Floods the earth with glory bright,
Or the sparkling snow of winter
Wraps the earth In mantle white.

Then he shouted in Fonts ear:
I'VE want to know what you've got
in that box"
Font stepped back quickly and
hugged his box more closely.
''Oh, well, If you won't let us see
we'll take it from you"
The larger of the two boys snatched
the box away, and ran a few steps to
one side. Font followed, and found his
tongue quick enough.
"Give me that box; 1t doesn't belong

He would have snatched 1t away,
but one of the boys interfered while
his companion suddenly pried open the
lid. There was sudden scream and
the box fell to the ground. Out of 1t

But before it reached the ground and
disappeared in the brush 1t had struck
Its fangs deep into the hand of the in

Poultry as a Business.

Is there progress in poultry keeping?
Read the market reports. Look at the
amount of poultry advertising done to-
day as compared with five years ago.
How did the winter prices of eggs in
the last FIVE years Of the nineteenth
century compare with those Of the first
five years of this? Thousands Of peo-
pie are to-day making comfortable
living and many have become inde-
pendent by raising poultry and eggs for
the market. It has been proven by ex-
periments that 1t costs no more to pro-
duce a pound Of poultry than 1t does
to produce pound of pork or beef. vet
poultry is always worth more per
pound than any other meat and sells
lust as readily.

Growing Cucumbern for Picking.

Growing Cucumbers for PickIing.
Factories for picking cucumbers are
being established wherever the farm
ers can be induced to become interest
ed. Small pickles, not over 21b inches
long, usually bring about so cents per
bushel, a bushel containing about 500
pickles. The average yield is estimated
at 100 bushels per acre, though sew
eral hundred bushels may be grown
upon an acre. The mildew destroys the
vines In some sections, but this Is kept
down by spraying. The striped cucum-
ber beetle, which can not be destroyed

is formidable enemy where it makes
its appearance. The long green varie-
ties of cucumbers are used. Plenty of
manure should be applied. A fertilizer
consisting Of one part nitrogen, one
part phosphoric acid and two parts of
potash is about the proper formula for
cucumbers Cucumbers are salted with
two quarts of salt per bushel of cucum-
bers, packed closely in tierces or bar
rels, and CROUCH brine added to cover
them. The brine should be added daily,
as evaporation lowers the water in
the vessel and exposes the cucumbers,
which may damage them. Growers can
cooperate, form a joint stock company,
and sell the pickles on the market.
