that If anybody tried to conduct the
business on business principles he
would be confronted by many embar-
RAISING situations growing out of the
popular lax customs. We are very
glad the day of the new order has
come, and we nope 1t has come to
stay. The class of editors who have
been in the habit of forcing their
product upon the public, and public
ly slurring and snubbing those who
tried to get rid of them, are now con-
fronting condition which they have
helped bring about, and which we
find particular satisfaction in seeing
them up against.
We hope every post master will
meet his duty squarely, and If they
do, the publishers that survive the
ordeal of the next few months with
a circulation worthy of the name,
will rise in the estimation of think
ing people who realize how rank the
situation has been, and what the new
postal law means. Most of the post
masters are anxious for its enforce
ment.

For Rural Routes.

Postmaster Geo. L. Wall desires
to call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins In their box each
time they desire to dispatch letters
instead of supplying themselves with
postage in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgent
ly requests that patrons of rural de-
livery provide themselves and keep
on hand supply of stamps consistent
with and in advance of their needs.
1t is also very desirable that rural
patrons place in their mail boxes
small detachable cups of wood or tin
in which to place coins, when neces-
sary, in purchasing supplies of
stamps.

New Tactics Among Editors.

There are two things that have
been causing editors to sharpen their
pencils lately. One is the high price
of paper, and the other is the new
postal law that says they shall strike
from their lists all delinquent SUBJ
scribers who are one year in arrears.
The favored way of meeting
the trouble about the price of paper
is to reduce the size of their paper
from eight to four pages. This has
been done by many papers in the
state during the past few weeks, and
it Is safe to predict that it will meet
with the approval of the public if
they will just cut out the objection
able advertisements and get UP clean
news columns.
1t is interesting to see how they
take to the new postal regulations.
All of them are announcing the
change in the columns of the paper
and fixing date to cut out delin-
Quents. Some are sending a state
ment of account to each subscriber
who is behind, and explaining that a
settlement must be made. Some of
them hail the new law as a blessing
to both publisher and subscribers,
and some are bordering on the ques-
tion Of how many readers they will
haa)6sleft when they get the list re-
dllced to those who actually want the
paper and consider 1t of sufficient
commercial value to pay for 1t as
they would for any other goods or
service.
These things have been conducted
in such go-as-you-pleaee manner
~ SO many go-as-you-ple4se editors,

Each player has three trials; the bub-

Every time a player sends bubble

Written for Homefolks

By C. T. Royne.
The average man is the man of the
mill,
The man of the valley, or man of the
hill,
The man at the throttle, the man al
the pillow
The man with the sweat of his toll or
his brow,
Who brings into being the dreams OF
the few,
Who works for himself, for me, and
for you.
There is not purpose, project or

average man.
The growth of CITY, the might of

his hand
The road, or the wall, or the mill,
or the mart,
Call daily to him that he furnish his
part.
The clang of the hammer, the sweep
of the saw,
The flash of the forge-they have
strengthened the law.
They have rebuilt the realms that the
wars overran,
They have shown us the worth of the
average man.
So here's to the average man-to the
Who has labored unknown on the
tasks he has done,
Who has met as they came all the
problems of life,
Who has helped us to win in the
stress and the strife.
He has bent to his toll, thinking
neither of fame,
Nor of tribute, nor honor, nor prize,
nor acclaim,
In the forefront of progress, since
progress began
Here's a health and a hail to the
average man.
