Square Big Enough

At the suggestion of Mayor Scott and some of the council men an informal mass meeting was held at Tabor's store Mon- day evening for the purpose of considering the advisability of enlarging the public square by the purchase of strip of ground on the west side and opening back as far as the west side of Scott street or farther.
 The mere suggestion awak- ened a considerable interest in the subject and quite repre- sentative crowd of tax payers was on hand to have their say. The discussion,had not proceed ed far until it was evident there was enough opposition to down the movement even though a feasible plan had been offered of raising the money, which was not.
 The most conservative esti- mate placed the cost at S3000, which sum it was generally agreed would be hard to raise. Taxation would not bring it, the town can not be bonded and ex- perience has shown that dona- tions come slow and never equit- ably distribute the burden and nobody was inclined to guess that the funds could be raised by this means. So after a rather warm, though good -natured discussion the matter was dropped without action.
 Mayor Scott assured the citi. zens that he only fell upon the scheme to ascertain their wishes, as the council was disposed to look favorably upon the sug- gestion as a matter of public en- terprise, and that the town was in no danger of having a great obligation saddled upon it with out the consent of the people. He told them their pleasure was his and that the matter was set tied by the adverse expressions given upon the subject.

Predicts Boom in Pie Plant
 Production.

Some ''padding'' editor of a re- sourceful city daily read The Tribune's article on pie plant production two weeks ago and sit himself down to formulate a Especial" which was literally copied in other papers as fol- lows:
 Green Forest, Ark, April 23.-Fol- lowing the success of a nearby farmer in raising rhubarb, or pie-plant for the northern market, q boom will develop next season in this industry. James Standlee has just received a check for $50 from Joplin commission house for three barrels of rhubarb which he grew by way of an experiment.. He said he could have raised tons almost as easily as pounds and there will be great in- crease in the rhubarb acreage around here next year. The product sold for 12 1-2 cents pound and there is said to be big profit in it when it sells at orly three or four cents pound. Sev- eral car loads of it can be raised on quarter of an acre it is said, by proper cultivation, which consists chiefly in keeping it covered in the winter with straw.
 The boom that is anticipated in this telegram" is a product of the padder's mind pure and simple. He wrote on the as- sumption that these facts and figures made by The Tribune will produce boom and he seems justifiable in the conclusion. It ought to produce one.
 The "special correspondent" again shows his ignorance of the situation by saying MT. Stantllee grew this pie plant as an expe'ri- ment. He didn't do it. He grew it for the cold cash he ws.s certain he would get out of it. He has grown pie plant at a profit for some years but his margin was quite bit better this year than usual, owing to better marketing facilities. MT. Standlee has long since passed the experimental stage in his business. He knows what will pay.
 The Tribune finds no objections to this pie plant Especial" We publish it merely to show that such incidents as the one we re- corded of Mir. Standlee is calcu- lated to help the country by arousing interest in our natural resources both at home and abroad.

Growing More Particular.

Uncle Sam is getting more particular about rural routes. He is growing impatient with some of the conditions that pre- vail.
 Postmaster Rhodes is in re- ceipt of the following letter which is self-explanatory:
 Washington, April 15, 1909. The Postmaster:
 In order to expedite the deliv- cry, collection, and dispatch of rural mail, enable rural carriers to cover their routes with celeri- ty, and give the earliest possible service to patrons residing on the far ends of routes, the De- partment will insist that all ru- ral mail boxes be so located as to be served with the greatest ex- petition.
 You are, therefore, directed to require each rural carrier at your office to submit to you without delay, for transmission to the Department, the names of all patrons whose boxes can not be served without leaving the road, dismounting, driving in deep ditches or on steep inclines, or on or across railway tracks involving danger, or the ap- breaches to whose boxes are ob- structed. It is not required that boxes shall be erected beside the wheel tracts, nor on any partic- ular corner of the crossroads; but they must be erected within the confines of the road, and ac- cessible, on any corner.
 It is not desirable that boxes be attached to telegraph, tele- phone, or electric light poles, or to fences or buildings, but boxes should be securely fastened to neat and strong posts firmly set at the side of the roads, at a suf- ficient height to be served by carriers without rising from their seats or reaching through wheel spokes.
 After boxes have been proper ly relocated, and it is practicable to curtail carriers schedules, postmasters will advise this of- flee, so that changes in schedu- les may be considered.
 When roads are in bad condi- ton, postmasters are directed to make report thereof to the D'- partment, and to the proper local road officials and corporate with them and patrons to the fullest extent, consistent with position and duty, to secure the improve ment of the roads. The mani- festation ofinterest and properly directed efforts by posttnasters in the good roads question will in many instances be productive of excellent results.
 Respectfully,
 P. V. DEGEAW, Fourth Asst Postmaster General.
