lamb chops at one meal and the
achievement of the watermelon cham

specimens OF his fayorite fruit in one
lay Another man has eaten 53 hard
boiled eggs in an hour as a result of
which he subsequently died, while
the champion green corn eater hasl

What the benefciaries of the system of
rural free delivery think Of it may be
judged from its extraordinary extension in
answer to persistent demand. Ten years
ago when the service was started 50 car

$40. while at present there are 3.,5S2 car
riers. at an estimated expenditure of $2G.-

What the government thinks of rural
