Sheffield Farm sale he paid $615 for six
sows bred to Handsome Lee the boar the

Mrs. E. B. Dewey has been very

condition this morning is critical.
A dispatch sent to the Grand Rapids
Herald from uthis city stating that
George E. .Pardee had been nominated
by the Prohibition party, at the recent
primary for prosecuting attorney, re-
ceiving three votes, and that he had ac-
cepted the nomination and announced
that he would make an active campaign
for election, is not only untrue but is
an injustice to Mr.. Pardee. Mr.. Par.
dee when informed that he was the
nominee of the Prohibition party i'm
pedistely took the necessary legal steps
to see that his name did not go on the
ballot and unless we are greatly mis-.
taken he will be found actively sup.

Change Would be Step Backward
Says Congressman Fordney-
Doc Not Favor Putting Rural
Routos on Contracf RaSjs

Routes on Contract Basis.
When Congressman Fordney's atten-
tion was called to the report that the
Post Office Department had under con.
sideration project to do away with the
present Rural Delivery system and sub.
stitute form of the old star route sys.
tenn, it being stated in Washington dis
patches that President Taft would be
asked to recommend legislation along
this line in his forthcoming message to
Congress, he did not hesitate to say
that he was opposed to such change
and expressed an opinion that it would
find little support in Congress save pos
sibly from some members residing in
the largest cities in the country.
"It is doubtful" said Mr.. Fordney,
whether President Taft can be induc-
ed to recommend this step backward in
the postal service. Who is there who
does not recall the scandals of star
route days; the constant change in the
men who prove these routes; the dilap-
idated looking equipment and unsatis-
factory service. Who wishes to see a
return of the same, which would be in
evitable under the contract system
The rural residents of this country are
entitled to the best possible service and
I shall oppose any movement which
does not look to the upbuilding of the
splendid service now given by more
than forty thousand rural carriers, all
under civil service regulations. More
oyer, it would be unfair to these car
riers, as many of them have invested
quite large amounts in their outfits,
with the belief that 30 long as they per-
formed their duties their positions
would secure. l am sure the contem-
plated change would be both unwise
and decidedly unpopular"
