Carriers Away from, Work

like Tho people to understand the
handioaps on the department at this
time and to realize that We promise
Richmond the quickest and the best
mail service In the country a. soon as
the removal to the new building IL eff
fectsd, and the carriers return from va
cation and the hospitals"
The custom Of mailing all bills on
the first Of the month nearly swamps
tho delivery service. Postmaster AL
Ian admitted that the Irate Citizen
was not kicking because his grocery
bill was not delivered on October 1
or because his wife's millinery ac-
count had not arrived In time for
him to settle It Wednesday morning.
The service IL struggling along In the
face Of big obstacles. but the kinks
will be Strengthened out before many
weeks.
The task Of re-routing the city Is in
itself enough to hamper the speedy de-
livery Of mail, as the carriers must
be allowed some time to become Ia
miliar with the new routes assigned
them. With eighteen carriers OF duty
at one time, there are eighteen mex
perienced men doing the work and
naturally doing 1t slower than the
regulars. Mr.. Allan asks for q little
patience on the part OF the public and
promises ample returns in the char
acter Of the service which will be
given when the force II on its feet
again.

CORN CLUB YOUTH
HAS 1863 BUSHELS
Raised It in One of Dryest
Counties in Year of Drought.
Record May Be Broken.

While the reports Of the corn club
boys in Virginia are not yet at hand.
Demonstration Agent T. o. Sandy has
found that one boy has made . yield
Of 1853 bushels on his acre. The name
and the county are not yet ready to
be announced.
This IN regarded as remarkable. in
view Of the summer-Iong drought,
which cut down crops in every quar-
ter The boy referred to lives in one
OF the counties where practically no
rain fell while the corn was making.
There may. Of course. be others who
will pass that figure.
Last year Dinwiddie County boy
raised 1877 bushels on his acre Of
ground. this being the State record
to this time. 1t may be surpassed IN
1912, in spite Of the most serious
drought known in years.
Taking IL all in all, Mr.. Sandy as
serts that the farm exhibits At the
State Fair will constitute the best
showing Of Virginia agricultural re-
suits and possibilities ever assembled
in this State. 1t 10 . revelation even
