whiskers of any man in the state.
More than thirty-fve years ago Mr..
Main ceased to shave, and to day his
whiskers-now white-are seven feet
long. At first he was told that this
would be an aid in preventing colds,
and he adopted the advice. He wears
his long whiskers done up under his

notice the popularity. Mr.. Main is

a bounty of ten cents each was paid on
35,S32 gophers, amounting to S3,5S3.a0.
These rodents marching" single file
each holding the tail tip of his prede-

In decision rendered, Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Degraw insists
upon adherence to the regulations re-
curing that boxes on rural mail routes
be erected by the roadside SO that
carriers can easily obtain access to
them without deviating from their
routes or dismounting from their We
hicles. Failure to comply with the
regulations in this respect, the decision
states, is likely to result in the discon-
tinuance of the delivery of mail by
rural carriers.

This is hard to believe, at times, but it

dominant ability can long hide himself;
he will soon be dragged into the lime
