Rural Carriers,

Milo Vannetter. Williamson, Mich.
thinks the Government is spending
money elsewhere that might be applied
to the relief of the veterans. In his lit
tie town there are five rural carriers
who cost the Government $4,000 year,
which is just about three times as much
as the service cost before they, had the
carriers. This is what makes the deficit
in the Post Office Department There
is a pretended preference for veterans
for carriers, but no veteran can get
chance at any of these appointments

Benjamin Franklin, though Of Bos-

age OF IL years he identified himself
with the city, and during his long life
the city was almost moulded by him
From the early pages of his Auto
biogra ply we learn the fascinating
story Of his early struggles, and his
rise from humble and obscure sur
roundings. He has told with inimita-
BILE ease and grace the incidents of
his fight from Boston, how he was
nearly drowned IN New York bay; how
he walked from Perth Amboy to Bur
lington through constant rain: how he
teek beat ut Burlington upon an -ats-
tober afternoon and landed at the
foot of Market street, Philadelphia;
how he walked the quiet streets of
the, sober city. a ridiculous figure,
munching his roll, and how he found
shelter the first night in the strange
city at the old Crooked Billet in Wa
ter street
This humble story is In strong con-

who had been tn first Ambassador
