The Standard Book Of Facts is filed with in
teresfing facts that can be referred TO in an n
slant. Ii contains thousands of subjects many
OF which have never appeared in book of this
character. IL takes up important events from the
beginning Of history and follows them down TO
the presen. Scientific subjects are treated in
similar manner, setting forth the origin of each
topic and tracing its varied researches to the
present time Inventions and discoveries are fol.

civilization would seem to have Accomplished the
last act along these lines In biography no i'm

earliest ages down TO the present makers Of his

show the progress of the entire world
So this is an educational work of facts and

should be accessible TO ALL from the busy business
man to the child at school-for all who desire to

The editors and contributors were brought TO-

used TO reproduce progress in modern inventive
genius and architecture, and a wide range of sub

a. similar work been profusely illustrated
The fact that this volume is issued by the

SUGGESTIONS TO
HELP MAIL MAN
Little Things Count For Much
In The Life OF The Rural
Carrier
DON'T FORGET THE MAIL BOXES
Have Right Kind And Place
1t In A Convenient Posi-
ton
DON'T FORGET THE MAIL BOXES

How would you like to be the
mail man,
1t is just nice pleasant drive If
the day is fine and the way is new to
you, but after you have been over
the same ground every day for
and know each stone in the
roadway and the stumps on the side
become old acquaintance, you will
decide that it is, indeed wearisome
task, says Henry Herbert Huff in
Successful Farming.
Take A Trip With Him
If you want to see the "other
side" of the rural carriers life,
come along some day when mud and
water makes the road almost i'm
passable or face a binding snow
storm steadily for twenty five miles
and you'll thank yourself that you
are not the mail man.
But somebody has to be the mail
man and you can help to add cheer
to his daily journey and lessen his
labors by observing the suggestions
to follow.
What Kind OF A Box
The BoX-The postal laws require
that every family before receiving
mail by rural delivery shall select g
suitable mail box. A list of makes
of mail boxes that have received the
recommendation of the postmaster
general may be seen at your posi-
office. 1t is strongly recommended
that the box be provided with loci
and key. If more than one family
is to receive mail in the same box
an agreement to that effect must b.
given in writing to the postmaster
Get III Located Right

where it will be most convenient TO
the carrier. It must be so situated
and of such height that mail can b.
deposited or removed without leay
ing the wagon. Attach the boz
firmly to solid post. Avoid setting
the post on a hillside or in any posi-
ton that will make it dangerous o
difficult for the carrier to drive u

close to it in all kinds Of weather. The
easier you make the carriers work,
the more prompt his deliveries will
be.
The USE OF THE Box See that the
door works easily at all times. Often
in cold weather the door freezes shut
and the carrier does not enjoy
pounding it open with half frozen
fingers. Keep the snow off the mail
box and shovel it away from the
post.
How to Place Your Letters
1t is much easier for the carrier to
remove letters deposited in the box
for mailing if you will set them on
end near the door instead Of tossing
them loosely on the bottom Of the
box. The postal laws require that
money for stamps be placed in a
little cup or box. causing the carrier
considerable loss of time and bother
pulling it out. Any such help in
conveniences the patron but little,
yet is of material assistance in i'm
proving the service.
THE Use OF SIGNALS -Be sure that
your mail box Is equipped with a
good signal, as this feature is of
great Importance to the carrier.
Raise the signal when you place mat
ter for mailing in the box in order
that the carrier will be sure to stop
for it, even though he should have
no mail for you. 1t is the carriers
duty to raise the signal if it is not
already up, when he leaves mail
You should then lower it so the car
rier will not see it up and stop need.
lessly, on his next trip.
No Bargain Postage
The rate of postage on matter go
ing on rural routes is exactly thu
same as though it were going to the
furthermost point in the United
States; there are no reduced rates o
any kind. Letters require postag,
at the rate of two cents an ounce OF
fraction thereof. A letter, properl,
stamped may be picked up at an
place along the route. to be deliveret
to party further along the route

means business on this proposition
and will punish those who are caught
violating this regulation.
Address On Everything
Moreover, any matter that is
placed in a rural mail box must bear
the name of the person who is to
receive it. Unaddressed matter,
though properly stamped, cannot be
placed in mail boxes by rural car
riers.
Do not delay your mail man in
any way, unless with a hot cup of
coffee or something. He has GER
tain schedule to make, and as pat
rons expect him at a certain time it
is injurious to the service needlessly
to be delayed. An exchange of
greetings or pleasant word is very
proper, but to detain him with Cos
sip or lengthy conversation should
be avoided.
Don't Ask Him To Wait
Do not ask the carrier to wait
while you address letter or make
out an application for a money
order. Instead keep a supply OF
stamped envelopes always on hanC

Editorial Comment
Do Primaries Count?

A queer political situation has been
developed in the Maine legislature, in
view of the threats of some of the leg

torial primaries. On joint ballot the
Legislature stands 80 Republicans TO 50
Democrats. But some of the legls!a :

can ticket have been identified with the

limiting that they will refuse to support

primaries. One of the main articles OF

How Governor Burleish HA'
Changed!
How

The Lewiston Journal is parading
with glee an editorial expression from
the Boston Journal in which appears:
"The demand of the standpat Republic
cans that they (Progressives) support
Ex-Governor Burleigh is singular.
Perhaps the following, also from the
Boston Journal, may prove enlighten-
ing:
1.-THE first primary in Maine for
the nomination of senatorial and
gubernatorial candidates went through
with greatest smoothness. Edwin
C. Burleigh wins the senatorial
nomination, and William T. Haines is
nominated for governor. The primary
brought out 50 per cent. of the total
State vote of 1910, which is probably
three times as many voters as ever
attended the Republican party eau
cuses on a given date up to this time.
THE choice has been made by
simple, fair. open test, and the Re-
publicans start off well to oppose
the senator and governor elected b.
the Democrats in the last sweep of
the State, Obadiah Gardner and Gov
ernor Plaisted. They are especially
fortunate in the candidacy of Mr..
Burleigh, who has had wide expert
ence in legislation and has proved

Our Foreisn Trade over Four Billions.


The foreign trade of the United
States will cross the four billion dol
lar line in the year which ends with
next month. Its highest former rec
ord was 1926 million dollars in 1911,
and it only crossed the three billion
dollar line for the first time in 1906
and the two billion line in 1899. I'M
ports in the 10 months of the current
year for which figures are now avail
able in the Statistical Division of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce amounted to ISL million dol
lars and exports to 1871 million. MAX
ing it apparent that the imports of the
full year will approximate 1900 mill
lion and the exports 1890 million, or
approximately 400 million dollars,
against 1926 million in 1911.
Imports have practically doubled in
value since 1901 and exports have prac-
tically doubled since 1904 The exports
of domestic products, which had new
er touched the two billion line until
1911. will in 1912 approximate pa bill
| lion dollars, while the exports of for
| eigh merchandise during the year will
probably fan slightly below the high
record of S7i4 million dollars in 1910.
! One of the striking features of the
rapidly charging import trade is the
increase in importation of non dutia-
BILE merchandise. Returns thus far re-
ceived, covering the ten months ended
| with October, indicate that the guam
tity of non dutiable merchandise en-
iering from foreign countries during
the full year will be nearly or quite
| one billion dollars in value and will
certainly pass the one billion dollar
line if the free merchandise coming
l from our own islands is added to thai
imported from foreign countries. The
value of duty-free merchandise enter
ing the country a decade ago, in the
calendar year 1902, was but 400 million
dollars; in 1905, $50 million; in 1907, 6Si
million; in 1911. 794 million, and il
! 1912 seems likely to approximate 81
million dollars In the single year 1871
imports show a growth of more thar
go million dollars, and exports A.;
! growth Of over 200 million dollar
when compared with the immediatel.
preceding year. The growth in import
occurs in all the great groups-food
J stuffs, manufacturers materials, an
