NJ Bernstein suddenly dawned upon the
world. on the contrary. he had already

admittedly the strongest he has vet pro-
dueed, have been given 10 the American
stage. Two Of these have been seen in
Omaha, The THIEF and Samson" and
these afford an excellent notion OF the
scope OF NJ Bernstein's perception OF hu-
manity. While the plays are allied in a
narrow sense, IN a broader view they are
very wide apart.

cause one or the other ceased to attract

put In The Thief" The most prominent
characterlstc Of NJ Berstein's work, as
known to Americans, Is the directness and
clarity Of the argument. His thought goes
directly TO the center and his p%ostulate is
well supported by his reasoning.

OF
RURAL DELIVERY
Today is the Thirteenth Birthday Of
the System Which Shows Mar
veIous Growth.

Today is the thirteenth anniversary
of the installation of rural delivery
in the United States and the records
show that no branch of the postal SER
vice has had so recent beginning
with equally remarkable results.
The honor of the first attempt to
test the practicability of such radi-
cal broadening of the operations of in
dividual delivery rests with five routes
from three postoffices in West Vir-
ginia.
The innovation was SO great that 1t
took some time for the people to be
benefited to realize the advantage in
store for them. BY the end of the
third fiscal year after this service be-
gan but 391 routes were established.
The convenience, as well as ethical,
economical, commercial and educa.
tional benefits incident to this public
utility were now so forcibly demon
strated that expansion went on rapid
", the cost aggregating up to the
present time no less than $170,000,000
The 40S04 carriers in covering their
4O,919 routes traverse more than
100000 miles every secular day Of
the year, excepting New Year, Wash,
ington's Birthday, Memorial or Deco
ration, independence, Labor and
Thanksgiving days, or the Monday
following should those days fall on
the Sabbath. In making their daily
round more than 20,0O0,0O0 rura
residents are served.
