4 Kick on "PoSSum POST

! The woes of the overburdened
mail carrier since the parcel post

| gresham Thos w. Hardwick, of this
| district. Mr.. Hardwick was inform

has placed the star mail route car
| yiers lin a devil of fix and that
! immediate relief was sought.
The letter which Mr.. Hardwick re-
CARDS as a gem in it's line, has been
handed the Herald, and is herewith
reproduced. 1t is from F. T. Dea-
son, Irwinton, Ga, and reads as fol-

Money Not Bar to Home.

Under new Iowa law which has
just gone into effect soldier OF the
Civil war who has the financial means
to take care of himself is not debar-
red from making his home at the
soldiers home at Marshalltown. He
now will be welcomed at the home
and may pay for his care out of his
personal means. The new law says:
1T shall be lawful to receive in
the soldiers home persons who have
sufficient means for their own sup
port but are otherwise eligible to be-
come members of the home, on pay
ment of the cost of their support
which cost shall be fixed from time
to time by the board of control of
state institutions. All money paid
under the provisions of this act shall
be received by the commandant and
RENTED each month to the treasur-
er of state and placed to the credit
of the support fund of the home
Provided, however, that no person
having sufficient means for his OF
her own support shall be received OF
permitted to remain in the home I'M
less there be room for all eligible ap-
plicants who do not have such means
but pension money received by any
member of the home from the Unit
ed States shall not be taken from
him for his support in the home.

Futility OF Some Laws.

I'VE f1atter ourselves because We
have put prohibition on the statute
books, as applied to liquors, cigar
cites and so on. We smirk and we
smile, but often like hypocrites,
when we have closed up another sa-
loon, but perhaps, promoted sales in
the alleys of much viler stuff. In
spite of all the laws we have enacted
the records of the government show
that last year we consumed five mil
lions of gallons of whiskey, more
than we did the year before These
are not estimates, but they are based
on revenue paid and men do not pay
revenue to make records. And two
and half millions more cigarettes
were sold and presumably smoked
In other words, however much we
pat ourselves on the back, we have
made no progress in abstentions.
There are at the same time more
abundant crops of moral hypocrites
on the one side and petty law break
ers on the other side.
Right here in Iowa, where we
boast that we have made one city
after another dry the things are as
bad as ever they were. We know
of one dry city into which twenty
percent more liquor was shipped last
year when it was dry than few
years ago when it was wet and the
stuff is viler and it is sold under
viler conditions. They get it any
way. We have heard pretty definite
ly of one man in a dry city who took
in so much money over Sunday that
he was afraid to deposit it all in
one bank on Monday morning, ana
he split his deposits-he was afraid
the bank would suspect him of hav-
ing committed some theft. PA
"Let us in such matters not de-
ceive ourselves, but face the facts,
do less gloating and more serious
along sane lines. Cedar

The Man With the Orchard.

This spring why not try it out.
Other men spray their trees, Guilt
vate them and raise good apples.
Why not you? Other men in other
not more favored spots that Iowa
raise apples protitably. Some sec
tons of other states draw from
Iowa's population and the proceeds
of her productivity by pictures of big
red apples and stories OF wealth to
be earned on orchard lands. And
some of these stories are true. There
is money in apples. But they don t
grow wild in Iowa nor anywhere else.
1t takes labor and attention to
raise good apples as it requires labor
and attention to raise hogs.
Spray and work the orchard this
spring. Pick and sort the apples
next fall Try the orchard out once.
Here is the testimony of an eye wit
ness taken from a Bloomfield week.
ly:
A former resident of Bloomfield,
after going to Oregon to engage in
the raising of fancy apples, has come
to the conclusion that the apples
raised in Davis county are superior
in every respect to those raised in
Oregon. Just another proof of the
statement that Iowa peo-
pie don't appreciate what wonderful
resources the state possess until they
go to some other part of the

All of her ten children were present

In her youth she united with the
Baptist church, but in 1894 she be-
came convinced that the gospel and
it's authority has been restored by
Gods power and accepted it, being
baptized by Elder J. S. Snively. In
this faith and hope she continued
steadfastly to the end. Over two days
prior to her death, before the disease
reached the worst stage, she called
her husband and children and gave
them counsel and advice as to their
future duties and responsibilities to-
wards each other and to God, ex-
horting them to pray always and to
live honest and worthy lives. Also
she instructed about her funeral,
and said that she was willing to go,
if her time had come by Gods will,
