Carriers Meet at Orleans.

The Orleans County Rural Letter
Carriers association held their annual
ting at the Congregational church
at Orleans, Feb. %. After social
time the ladies of the church served a
very bountiful dinner. The tables
were beautifully arranged and decor
ated in honor Of Washington's birth
day. Meeting was called to order
by Vice President E. L. Richard of
Newport. After prayer by Rev. Mr..
Shaeffer he asked the ladies for some
remarks. Mrs. J. G. Carpenter, who
is a substitute on Mr.. Carpenters
route, told how disappointed some Of
the lady patrons were, days when she
drove the route, on seeing her instead
of Mr.. Carpenter. Mrs. Richard
spoke Of the great growth in rural
delivery, which has reached AZ, 600
routes. Mr.. Shaefer of the personal
ity every one has, showing US what a
carriers have for good as we come in
contact with so many people each day
while performing our duties, thus
showing US that we should be kind
and courteous TO every patron we
meet. M. M. Taplin then addressed
the meeting. He told us that we
are carrying on the work started by
George Washington, whom we hon.
ored by meeting on this day. AS
Washington did much for the welfare
of the people of che country, so the
rural people of today stand looking to
the carrier not only for their daily
paper and other mail but for aid in
other ways. He said the carriers
have been foremost in the movem ent
| for better roads which has done much
for the farmer, and all this for COM
mon day laborer's pay. He said that
this country, which is working
for peace among nations should
stop expending vast sums for
Notifications and give fair compen-
sation to it's employees. He said our
National association is to US what
the United States is to the people of
this country and urged US to main tain
this organization for it is only
through union and large membership
that we can gain best results. He
spoke of the cost of rural delivery
today. How that it is not self-sus-
tanning. Also of the great cost of de.
livery of groceries at the door in al
villages and cities and, too, of the cost
of the telephone. But he says the
people have to pay for all of these
and they cannot afford to do without
them

 It was one of the most uninteresting matches of the past ten days. The Jap gained a great advantage in the first ten innings and in the next ten ran up the count So that the task ap- peared hopeless for Morrlin gstar
