P. 0. employees
WORK FULL time
MUST COUNT, WEIGH AND CLASSIFY
EACH PIECE Of NAIL DURING
MONTH Of NAY

During the month OF May,
working in or for q United States
postofice is going to be the condi-
tion described by General Sher-
man as definition of war. A
new rule given out by Postmaster
General Hitchcock, compels post
Office employees to count and weigh
and classify and do similar things
in handling mail matter, until
there will be little or no time left
to handle mail and oblige the pub
lie.
In the Offices they are asked to
count all pieces of mail, classify to
the smallest degree, count each
class, weigh each class, use stop
watch and get the time taken to
count each class, use another
watch and see how many fractions
of seconds it requires to weigh
each class, another watch to see
how long it took to find out how
long it took to find out how long,
and put it all down on a piece OF
paper and send it to the postofice
department.
The work of the rural and city
carriers was generally supposed to
be that of getting mail to persons
to whom it is addressed, and to
gather up mail from drop boxes,
etc. 1t now appears that this is
merely an incidental part of their
work. They are really employed
to count letters and postcards and
newspapers and magazines, and
see about their weights and see
how many postcards they can find.
and why and which and when and
what. They must get back in
time to write it all down on a lit
tie blank and when May is history,
they may frank it to the postoffice
department down in Washington
along with lot of other franked
stuff, and thereby increase the
volume of mail, which probably
will result in another recommen-
dation by Hitchcock to increase
postage on all second class mail
matter. t..
1t has not been two months
since the clerks and carriers went
this ordeal for seven days. That
was rot so bad. But this test re-
quires month of statistical red
tape, and if letters are delayed for
a few days in transmission, no one
need be dissatisfied:
The test began at midnight on
May l, and lasts thirty days, Sun
day included, whether the post
office closes or not.

THE KIDS JUDGE
MADE GREAT HIT
TALKED TO l,l0o FARGO PEOPLE LAST
NIGHT As CLOSING NUMBER IN
SEASONS LECTURE COURSE

VVV1NS0
Fargo, May Judge Ben B.
Lindsey, the famous kids judge"
delivered the last lecture of the
citizeus' lecture course last evening
in the agricultural college armory
before an audience of about !, 100
people. ....
Professor Arvold thanked the
citizens of Fargo in behalf of the
management of the citizens lecture
course for their generosity and
support and asked Attorney Frame
to introduce the speaker.
Mr.. Frame said that the name
Juvenile court is : synonym for
Judge Lindsey and introduced him
as the man and the character now
and always.
Probably one of the most inte-
resting lectures ever delivered fol-
lowed when Judge Lindsey related
in simple words the Misfortunes
of Mickey, and of many others of
his kind.
Judge Lindsey has the welfare
of the delinquent juvenile at heart
and believes in the loyalty of these
little chaps and his system in deal
ing with them is one of divine
justice, justice illuminated by love.
Under the old system boys were
brought into court and force was
used to get the truth from them
and most every case Yas a failure.
The new system places the boys on
their honor and in every case they
have been loyal to the . kids
judge.'' He stated that fear was
the father of lie and that the
questioner is often responsible for
the lie.
Judge Lindsey said that as money
above manhood was the misfortune
of Mickey SO it is the misfortune
of many of his kind. Too many
men place their business above
their children. He stated that the
child is the state and when you
pull down the child you pull down
the state.
Judge Lindsey is man full of
enthusiasm. He believes that the
safety of the state tomorrow lies
with the child of today. He be-
lieves that the jails are breeders of
crime and has fought hard to save
the little children from this en-
vironment and give them ! fight.
ing chance in the struggle for life.
The lecture was frightened by .
large number of stories stories of
humor and stories of pathos- told
in IN inimitable way which moved
the audience at will.
During the address Judge Lind
sey paid a glowing tribute to the
Y. NJ. G. A. as one of the big
factors in preventing boys from
going bad and helping them to
reform.

Blighted Home.

o, life is so dreary no pen can
portray
The shadows of sorrow that hang
o'er my way,
No peace can find where my
feet ever roam,
Intemp'ranc and misery have
blighted my home.
0, we'll | remember what plea
sures and joy
And pride l once felt in my own
darling boy;
How sweet and how pure and
how loving was he,
And more than all earth was my
dear boy to me.
And then as the years sped away
in their flight
Twas my loving mission to guide
him Alright;
To guard him by night and to
teach him by day
And watch the dear feet that
they went not astray.
But twas a saloon, with it's al
Turing snare,
That tempted my boy, and he
soon perished there,
And now in the church-yard my
dear one doth sleep,
And I'm left alone but to sorrow
and weep.
0, God, who in heaven our sor-
rows doth know,
How long shall this demon yet
reign here below2
How long shall our laws this foul
monster let roam,
To ruin our sons and to blight
our dear home?

IRRIGATION OF ORCHARDS.

Government Directions For Use of
Water In Fruit Tree Tracts.
Speaking Of the selection of lands for
orchards. farmers bulletin No. 4Ol of
the federal department Of agriculture
says:
Care and good judgment should be
exercised in the selection Of an orchard
tract If it turns out well the profits
are high, but if 1t fails the losses are
heavy. 1t involves the setting aside of
good land. the use of irrigation water
and somewhat heavy expenses in pur-
chasing trees, setting them out and
caring for them until they begin to
bear.
Permanent bitches at the head of
orchard tracts should be located by
surveyor The proper grade depends
chiefly on the soil. If the soil is loose
and easily eroded a slow velocity is
best On the other hand the velocity
must be sufficiently rapid to prevent
the deposition Of silt and the growth

Spray to Avoid Wormy
Apples.

The apple worm is the larva of
the codling moth, and it gets in
to the apple at this season of the
year. The moth lays it's eggs on
the young apple just about the
time the blossoms fall, the worms
hatch out and eat their way into
the apple, either causing it to
fall from the tree, or ripen pre-
maturely.
1t has been proven that 80 per
cent Of the worms enter the ap-
pie through the calyx end of the
young fruit. By filling this ca
lyx cup with poison these worms
are killed and the fruit protect
ed. To give this protection, ap-
pie growers must spray. They
can use any commercial brand of
lime sulphur, one gallon to forty
gallons of water, to which has
been added % pounds of arsen-
ate of lead. The arsenate of
lead should be mixed with a
small amount of water until it
resembles milk before adding to
the mixture.
This mixture should be spray
ed onto the trees just after the
blossoms have fallen, and when
the calyx end of the little apple
is open and standing upright.
There will be only five to seven
days for each variety, in which
effective spraying can be done.
The poison must be sprayed into
the blossom cup before the worm
enters or the cup closes. Repeat
the spraying two weeks later for
the apple scab and stray worms
which may be present.
Experiments made at the Ohio
station showed a net profit, from
spraying an average sized tree
from IL to 20 years old through
out one season, at a total cost of
from 80 to 40 cents, of from SO
to 81 or more when apples are
worth 81 per bushel. With ap-
pies selling at the high price they
are at present, the profit from
spraying is much greater than
this. Perfect apples are worth
more than wormy ones. No man
who is trying to grow apples can
afford not to spray. Spraying is
an insurance to his crop. But
the work must be thoroughly
done, at the right time. 1t will
pay. Let us spray!

lied the Green & Green Co., ba-
kers and cracker makers, there

While responding to a fire al
arm last Thursday morning about
6 as O'Clock and while the team
was going at good speed on East
Third street, one of the horses
pulling the hose reel dropped in
it's harness, seemingly having
been stricken down with heart
trouble, and was dragged some
little distance before the driver
succeeded in stopping the other
horse. Those who witnessed it
say the horse seemed to sudden
ly collapse and drop to the street.
He was dead when the reel was
brought to a stop. The driver,
Basil Grubbs, was holding a tight
line on the team, with his feet
we'll braced, and the team was
straight on East Third
street when the accident happen
ed, and no blame can be attached
to Mr.. Grubbs. The horse will
be greatly missed, as he was one
of the best ever in service in our
fire department, very intelligent
and we'll trained. The fire was
nothing serious, a burning 1ue
at the home of Frank Reiber on
East Main street, which was ex-
tinguished with the lawn hose
before the arrival of the fire lad
dies. The alarm was telephoned
in and Box 43 pulled at the de-
partment building, hence their
run down East Third street,
where the box is located.

A Mighty Good Reason.

People in Audubon, who have been
thinking that one legged woman
lived in a certain house have solved
the mystery. For some weeks peo-
pie passing the house have noticed
that every time there is washing
on the clothes line only one woman's
stocking is on the line. Knowing the
people real well they wondered
where the one legged woman stayed.
Some even thought there might pos
sibly be family skeleton in the
dark Who was the mysterious one
legged woman? This is the solution
that came to light Monday. The wo-
man who runs the house is an eco
nomical woman. For some years she
has always had two pairs of stock
ings. Some months ago she lost one
stocking, but instead of buying a
new pair she has taken to rotating
the three stockings she has left.
That is why there is only one stock
ing on the line.-Jefferson Bee.
