NEW POSTAL ORDER.

A new order in the postoffice de-
partment went into effect recently and
it should be noted by the people in
general. By the terms of the new
order defaced stamp is hereafter
worthless. Should a corner be torn
off, no matter how small, or the
stamp mutilated in any way, it can no
longer be used All letters bearing
such stamps will be at the postoffice
two weeks for recovery and at the end
of such time, if not claimed, will be
sent to the deadletter Office An
other phrase of the order is interest
ing. Permission is now given indi-
viduals to perforate the stamp they
use with a reasonably small instru-
ment for identification purposes.
Such step is intended to prevent the
sending of anonymous letters or the
theft or mutilation of private mail of
any nature.

for a certain farm house and the
switch is set. Arriving at the farm
house it dumps the mail into a box
and picks up another box containing
any mail to be sent out AS soon as
this box has returned another is started
out for another farm house. Since
the baskets travel so fast the mail is
soon all delivered. Delivered, in
fact, in much less time than by the
carrier methods, and bad roads form
no hinderance whatever.
Mr.. Harrison has written to Secre-
tary Simpson and desires to make an
exhibition at the Iowa state fair this
year Mr.. Simpson will afford every
opportunity for the man to make an
exhibition of the system. 1t is pro-
posed to create demand for the deliv-
cry system and thus induce the gov
eminent to install it on all the rural
routes of the country. Mr.. Harrison
is an Iowa farm boy and has worked
his patent out on rainy days.

R. E. Harrison, of Dunlap, Iowa,
has invented another appliance that is
intended to turn farm life into a
rosy condition where hot baths,

on the rural routes by electricity.
Wires are strung along the road with
proper switches, all of which are uto-
matte. One man can deliver the
mail to FIVE or six rural routes by
electricity.

which travel at the rate of about two
