RURAL CARRIERS YET HAVE
TROUBLE WITH SNOW

The rural carriers from the local
postoffice have been unable yet to
make their entire routes. Some got
half way yesterday and hoped to do
better today. Uncle Sam is very
stingy with the carriers. If they are
unable to get over the route they
lose the days pay. If they strug-
gle all day and only make half way
they get half pay; if one fourth way.
one fourth pay. This seems rather
small thing for a big government
to do.

New York, May 3.-offieials of the United Mine Workers of America who have been in conference here for two days tonight expressed confidence that a strike of the 170o00 mine workers of the three anthracite districts, who have been idle since April 1. has been averted, and that a satisfactory agreement will be en- tered into with the operators before the end of this month.
 After comforting for four hours mem- bers of the three anthracite boards issued call for a general convention at Wilkesbarre, Pa, May H. to consider the tentative agreement entered into by the sub-committees representing the operators and the mine workers, which was re- jected by the full committee of the miners in joint conference with tue operators here yesterday.
 If the tentative agreement of the sub committee sent which was signed by President White and the three district presidents, is approved, the men will re- turn to work at once.
 If on the other hand the convention re- jects the tentative agreement it is expect ed by the leaders that the committee of ten will be empowered to enter into an- other joint conference, which MT. Green said already has been arranged for and to conclude an agreement, subject to rat iheation by referendum vote.

SILVER LINING TO
 THE FLOOD CLOUD

Washington, May 3.-The devastating floods along the lower Mississippi have not been an unmixed evil, for, in spite of their destructive work. they have helped to clean out a lot of boil weevils.
 Secretary Wilson announced today that although early cotton planting ordinarily is desirable, the overflow this year would make 1t possible to plant as late as May 9 with comparative freedom from wee vii injury. This applies as far south as St Joseph, La. Below that point many weevls found winter quarters in Spanish moss, where they were safe from the water.
 Tt must not be supposed said Secre- tady Wilson today. that all the weevils have been exterminated not even in the northern part of the flooded area, for even there some were above the high water line and during this season there will be a flight of the weevils into this territory"
 Attention was called also to the uncer- tainty in the production of crop on overtiowed lands regardless of the wee vii. On this account it was said that farmers should devote only enough land to late cotton ito retain their labor.
