The Way Jay Gould Brought m Ex-

Recalling early days la the express

tract was about to expire. and Gould
wanted an arrangement more prOfita-

"The express company officials de-
injured. Their profit, they insisted,
was no more than they were entitled
to, and they refused to shade the con-

understand-what he very well knew
that no other company would compete
against the United States for the Erie
business. All the companies at tina
time were In an agreement to maintain

SIMPLE, UNIQUE, PRACTICAL AND CHEAP

Does away with blocks and Stats, and makes
shade hanging easy work. Anyone who can
drive q nail can drive the little hooks on
which II hangs and there is no necessity of
being particular about getting hooks in an ex-
act spot. A few inches TO the right or left
makes no practical difference. When the
common brakets are used the variation of an
eighth Off inch often results in q waste Of
time, defaced window casing, and after all
q bad job of shade hanging. Saves time and
labor of cutting down shades TO fit narrow
windows, and it also saves the shades them
selves. This advantage il paramount 70 the
millions of people who live in rented houses
and own their own shades or who buy made
/ up shades. Most people who have money In
vested In shades would much rather pay ten
cents each for these Hangers and preserve
| the width of their shades than to cut down
the shades and ,robably ruin them for use in
other places. Renders the removal OF shades
when cleaning windows a easy as removing
a garment from its hook and the shades are
replaced Just as easily. There Is no chance
! for the spring to run down or the shade to be
crushed and soiled as IN the case when the
common brackets are used. This is an item
Of great convenience to the housewife.

Quite often of late the Independent has had
complaints from it's subscribers in nearby
towns, concerning the fact that the lndepend-
ent uoes not reach them until three or four days
after it is published, and Of course there's srs-
picion that this ofcs is neglecting its duties to-
wards getting the papers out on time. Now as
matter Of fact, the Independent rarely misses
going to press on Thursday evening and is al
ways in the Mlnot post office in good time the
day following, and more often is in the post Of
flee yet on Thursday evenings. We know that
the papers leave the Minot office in good season
and the only way we can account for the delay
in reaching the subscribers is that the mail
clerks have SO much to do that they do not
have time to :twork' the Independent mail al
ways until after the station where it should go,
miles or so, and returned day or two later
The government needs more mail clerks and
will in time get them. Until then, the Indepen-
dent can do nothing but hope for the best The
following from the Fargo Forum states the
conditions as they exist in Fargo which are
Just the same as they are in Minot:

some 20 sacks Of mail were returned east and
last week some 30 sacks. All this makes delay
