Rural Free Delivery Of Much BENEFIT.
Much has been said regarding the extent to
which the rural free delivery of u s. mail has
contributed to keeping boys and girls on the farm
and its influence has probably not been exagger-
ated. For all that the average young farmer
prizes the boon of receiving his daily paper on
the same day on which 1t is printed 1t is probable
that rural free delivery has meant even moro to
the young women than it has to the young men

done wonders but perhaps the greatest transfor-
