Notwithstanding our oft-repeated instructions to Spondents to mail their letters so they will reach us on Tuesday, and never later than Wednesday, scarcely a week passes that some do not come in on Thursday Last week the cor respondence from Whitener and Oak Grove both reached us on Thursday, after the paper had been printed and mailed and of course had to go over The postmark on both these showed that they had been mailed at time that would make it impossible for them to reach us in time for publication last week. In these days of rural free deliv- cry and daily mails there is very seldom any excuse for not getting items in on time We suggest to all correspondents the plan of adopt ing system i'll their work by mail- ing their letters the same day every week, and at such a time as will insure their letters reaching us in time for publication If at any time this cannot be done, then hold your items until the following week, sending in such news as can be carried over The observance of these instructions will add much to the value of the work of our cor respondents

In the nine years he has been in the ser vice Mr Sweeney has travelled d total distance of Sl 900 miles. which as the boys would say. is going some Some idea of what this distance means may be gathered from the fact that 1t is about 1900 miles to New York City. and dur ing the past nine years Mr Sweeney has travelled enough to have made more than thirty trips to New York and return He has travelled third of the distance to the moon.

AT A GIRLS PARTY

At little birthday party giver
recently where girls about Il
were present, the feature of the
afternoon was the dressing OF
clothespin dolls.
Each little guest was provided
with a large, smooth clothespin
a pair of scissors, a few pins, and
short, equal lengths of colored
baby ribbon. From a rainbow
hued pile of tissue paper, the
girls picked the colors they hap
pened to fancy.
Fifteen minutes was allowed in
which to dress the clothespins.
Costumes ranged from moyen age
frocks to bathing suits, but the
prize went to Red Riding Hood
dressed in a sweeping cape.
Then the scissors were put
aside, and paste bottles were dis
tributed. With the remnants of
the paper, the party constructed
artificial flowers, using their fin
gers only to tear their forms, or
forms suggested by
their scraps.
This proved a real test of mag
nation and ingenuity. The prizes
In each contest were fine dolls
arrayed in elaborate tissue paper
robes.
