Two or three years afterward. on
the reorganization of the Rutland rail

The Howe Scale Company.
In 1888, at the reorganization Of the
Howe Scale company, he was elected

No Dress Suit to Graduate In.
He Immediately received an appoint

County hospital, where he went the
next morning after graduating. An in.
cident in connection with this gradual
ton is the fact that out of ninety
three students he was the only one
who did not possess a dress suit. but
was obliged to wear an old shiny black
diagonal suit, and as far as his finances
were concerned he had religiously saw

three months he was unexpectedly

The Importance of ''unconsidered

worked out in conference with the
post-office depar tment.
There are pow more than 10000
ru al free delivery routes in the
United States. The carriers are
equipped to carry 125 pounds of mail,
but do not average to carry over Is
pounds. The deficit from rural free
delivery is $28, 1000, 900 yearly. Mr..
Foster is of the opinion that if local
rates were put into effect, there
would be an immediate increase of
business with no additional expense.
Carriers who now run at daily net
expense might readily earn $1.00 per
day each, which would represent the
tidy aggregate of $12. 100000 per
year, thus cutting down the annual
deficit from rural delivery nearly one
half. In fact, there are many who
believe that within five years such an
arrangement would make the routes
self supporting, but it is plain that
something must be done to increase
their revenue. That expedlent lies
in the local parcels post rate from ru-
raj delivery centers to their patrons
and vice versa.
No one can possibly be injured by
such a service says Congressman Fos-
ter. 1t would cover merely packages
and parcels that could not go by ex-
press or railroad under any condition.
1t virtually creates large volume
of new business between the rural
patron and the village merchant. An
country stores situated on rural
free delivery route would share in it's
advantages. IS it would enable the
housewife and the farmer to send an
order to the corners" by telephone
or letter and receive the goods deliv-
cred by the carrier on his regular
trip. The service is similar in all
respects to the local drop letter ser
vice, where one cent, instead of two
cents is charged for post office deliv-
cry.
Take the Cease of Middlebury. for
instance There are six routes ema-
ma ting from that post-office. The av-
erage number served thereby is prob
ably rs or more, perhaps nearer 100.
This means that these carriers reach
every one of which has the telephone.
Under the provisions of the Foster
bill, any patron of these routes who
wanted piece of fresh meat, grocer
les, medicine, a gear or cutter bar for
farm machinery, dry goods, clothing
or whatever the want is could tele-
phone to Middlebury in the afternoon,
evening or early morning and have
the articles delivered at bis door next
day. The same thing would supply
to any corner store or post office on
the route or between patron and pa
iron.
In Rutland with it's two rural deliv.
cries of 100 families each, the advan-
tage to every person situated on the
routes is obvious. 1t would place in
the hand of local merchants one of
the most effective weapons for meet.

logue and mail order houses.
