New York Sun.
Persons livin" in one Of the dis
tricts bordering on Prospect Park,
Brooklyn. are served by three letter
carriers at the same time. Only one
Of them wears the regulation gray un-
lform and blows whistle and draws
government pay.
The other two carriers wear brown
uniforms which run into white on the
legs, and they announce their deliv-
cries with bark. BY breed they are
collies.
Much of the district covered bv
this carrier is along the Ocean Park
way, which includes an automobile
and carriage driveway, two cycle
paths. bride path, trucking road
and side walks. 1t isn't convenient
for the carrier to cross and recross
the parkway two or three times in a
block. The dogs solve he problem

OF INTEREST TO DEMOCRATS.

The National Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee has begun
active operations at it's headquarters at
Washington, D. G. In addition to it's
regular work, it is now preparing a
Campaign hand book which it hopes
to have ready for distribution by July
1.-TWO or three months earlier than
heretofore.
The committee is charged with the
duty of assisting, in every way posi-
BILE, the election of a democratic con-
gress. We wish the active co-opera-
ton of every voter IN the United
States who believes, with us, that the
election of democratic congress
would greatly benefit the country. We
must rely upon the people to sustain
our work by giving information as tc
local conditions, and suggestions fol
our guidance.
Each individual can at least aid US
by making a contribution. Will he
not do so and interest others in help.

We wish our campaign hand book
distributed as generally as possible,
and we will furnish a copy, as soon as
published, to every one who cOntri-

Irish Standard: Where, may we
ask, is the anti Bryan territory
Every state In the middle West and
North, except Minnesota has already
instructed for Bryan. Every state in
the West which has held it's conven-
ton, has instructed for Bryan. Every
state in the South which has spoken,
has instructed for Bryan. Every state
in the East that has instructed for
anybody, has instructed for Bryan, ex-
cept Delaware alone. IF this over
whelming sentiment against Bryan
exists in the democratic party, why
does it not express itself in some
placef The truth of the matter is
that the people of the country have
been shamefully misled by newspapers
to which they pay subscriptions for
getting the news.

held in Little Falls this year. The

the next meeting, when the amount of
money available will be known. A
ball game between two Of the best
semi professional teams in the state
