The only mail that will be affected
under the postmaster generals con-
struction OF the new law is that re-
ceived at the postoIi,e on Sunday
which has hitherto been distributed
to lock boxes, and Of this mail that
intended for newspapers and fer ho-
tel guests, and also newspapers ad-
dressed to newsdeafers, should be dis
tributed to boxes as hitherto.
In order to give provision as liber-
I'll construction as possible the post
master genral wishes posrmasters on
application to have employees sort out
emergency cases on Sunday letters
of special Importance when the Office
of origin is known. This Will supple
ment the present privilege of having
such mail delivered on S'n1ay by
purchasing a special delivery stamp
therefore.
The purpose of the law is to reduce
as far as practicable the amo int or
Sunday labor in postofiiccs.

Under authority conferred by the
pcst-office appropriation bill, Post
master General Hitchcock has in
creased the salary of rural letter car
riers on standard routes from 81 900
to S1,110 year this affecting thirty
thousand men, with proportionate in
crease to carriers on shorter routes.
The order will become effective Sep
tember 30th.
This will mean an inceased dis
bursement of four million dollars a
year. 1t is the second salary advance
for rural carriers made in the last
four years. The increase provides
rural carriers compensation for addi-
tioaal burdens to be imposed by the
parcels post system, effective January
1st.
1.-The parcels post system on rural
mail routes can be conducted practi-
cally with no extra expense to the
government except the increased sal
airy allowed to carriers" Mr.. Hitch
cock said. I'm my judgment the ad-
fiftional cost willsbe more than offset
by additional revenue, thus insuring
the maintenance" Mr.. Hitchcock
has directed also that rural mail car
riers on the completion of twelve
months service be granted fifteen
days leave with pay. This will re-
Quire an additional eighty thousand
dollars year to pay sub-carriers.

SAVE SEED CORN THIS MONTH.
Prosecuted Throughout
Iowa.

"Save Seed Corn in September" :"
That is the slogan of good seed
corn campaign which is to be prose-
cuted vigorously in Iowa during the
next few weeks by the Extension de-
partment and Experiment station Of
the Iowa state college. 1t is just a.
important to select seed corn right
in September as it is to test it in
March or April. In some respects
it is more important, because the
selection of seed corn is fundamental
and it is measure of prevention of
seed corn trouble at planting time.
IF Iowa farmers would select their
seed corn properly in September. :"
says Director w. j. Kennedy of the
Extension department, they would
add probably ten bushels of corn per
acre to the yield in Iowa. That is
according to the estimate OF Prof. N ,
l.. Mosher, who has been in close
touch with corn growing in the state
for years and knows. Such an in
crease in the yield would mean an
addition of probably fifty million dol
lars to the value of the states corn
crop.
The college will distribute tens OF
thousands of copies of seed corn
pamphlet, telling how and why seed
corn should be saved in September.
Its institute lectures and short course
workers will urge this practice in
their meetings. 1t will cooperate
with newspapers and press associa-
tions and commercial organizations
in every possible way to send the
word along to 'save seed corn in
September.
Prof. NJ. L. Mosher has given these
rules for selection of seed corn:
before October 1st, save three
or four times as much seed as need
ed so that there may be plenty to
choose from.
2.-Hang it up Immediately in a
dry, we'll ventilated place, such as a
dry cellar, a dry attic or spare room,
a dry shed or in any other dry well
ventilated building.
.3.-Do not hang It in a stable oye.
or near live stock, over oats or corn,
in damp cellar. in a closed. attic
over a kitchen. ir any damp or close
place. or out in the sunshine.

He had ideas on politics,
On civic pride and Immigration
On traff rates they ought TO nA'
On suffrage, war and arbitratDn'
On faddist and the theorist
On crime and food adulteratlon'
On all the isms in the list,
OF charity and education.
But never since the world began
Was there a calmer one than ne;
There never was on earth man
Who won such popularity.
Though other people friends migh'

He knew exactly how to hold

On everything he had his views,
But took good care not to unfold

impossible as it happened a we TX age

day we were to show it We found
this picture to be so far ahcll Of
the usual run of pictures that W. de-
cided to run it again, and have been
scrapping with the exchange

have wired us they will have i. here

fact that it is made by the B!cgraph
company, which alone spells perfec.
ton, Little Mary" takes the leading
role. The plot and the way it is
carried out is entirely unusual When
the picture starts, Little Mary is
about to take her beauX out tc the
country club in an auto. A drunken
vagabond is seen to carry on in dis
graceful manner, and Mary beIie"es
her escort to be a coward when he
declines to administer a thrashinP,

she brands as coward and attempts
to return home alone. She soon aft
erwards is held up by our escaped
convict, who forces her to take him
in her auto and aid him in making
his escape. Now Mary's friend real
ly loves her, and noticing the struggle
she had with the convict, spreads the
alarm that something is wrong, and
knowing the auto road runs parallel
with the railroad track for number
of miles, organizes a posse, secures
giant locomotive, and starts pursuing
the runaway auto. This is where the
Biograph company comes in with
some expert picture taking, as the
and the locomotive, running at full
speed, gradually gains on it. They
come to a urn-off in the road, and
the convict forces Mary to leave the
car and come with him. Her sweet
heart follows, and what happens
proves to Mary that he is anything
but a coward In the meantime the
balance of the guards have secured
a racing auto and arrive in time to
capture the convict and put him back
in captivity. There are not many
pictures as entertaining as this, and
we are inviting those especially who
did not see it before.
Any Old Clothes is comic Pathe
