The Glenwood post., 1914-11-07

We have been handed considefsbI.
josh on the recent attachment to oul
mail wagon. 1t consists of box o,
good proportion that is secured to tn.
back of the wagon. Some call it q
dog house, and Others refer to il
As . hen coop, but We don t care d
whoop. that box comes in mighty
handy when parcel post business comes
IN with q rush as'it does now and thea
and will as the holidays draw near.
Take ahy business, and if it pros
pes and Is On a sornd ia:Is, it is not
long until that business expands and
grows and larger quarters must be
built. So it is with our mail route,
Growing business and prosperity ON
the r. F. ID. demands more space to
accommodate the increase of mail and
parcel post; hence that extension to
the Sunlight limited.
Yes, some day We intend to paint
that box = nice bright green.
But paint costs money and that's
why it's not painted yet.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. o. Stevens have
been in the lower part of the county
the past week where Mr.. Stevens has
beea buying hay for his bunch of cat
tie which he intends to winter near
New Castle. Mr.. Stevens found the
raaeAmen in fine shape, only spuds
being a white elephant an the growers ;
hands, while hay was selling At good
figure and a good market for it. 1t
cost him $6 ton at the stack, and he
considered this a moderate price to
what others were asking.
1t was only few years ago that
ranchmsn were mighty glad to get
even $3 a ton at the stack, and hay
went begging, but times have changed
since and the man with the alfalfa
never worries about the big rumpus
going on in Europe.
To sort of remind us of the day, we
had nice yellow pumpkin last Sat
urday to take on the route. The pie
fruit was stamped and addressed like
any other parcel post, and 80 it went
through as would any mail. Anything
goes that won't blow up or cause any
damage in the way of breaking, ex
ploding or poisonous composition.
And John Barleycorn and his kin
are also barred from the mail, rs Uncle
Sam does not intend to be classified
as q peddier Of demon rum in any
shape or form. Hooray for Uncl.
Sam!
Now that we have been bringing the
kids up Four Mile several consign
ments of cOlOred crayons,and with al
the youngsters getting the art fever,
we have noticed several artistic repro
ductions that show there is artistic
talent on the R. F. d. Among the
classy works of art is a vivid colorai
drawing that Art Smiths future
hopes drew for us and duly presented
the same for our inspection. 1t was
a good drawing of the Limited, with
the proper official color of red and
green. and with the mules going forth
with a nice coat of brown that would
make nature green with envy. Nice
work. nice work, indeed.
It's just As natural for young ones
to have hankering to draw as it is
for Punch and Judy to want to slow
up when we are late and in q hurry.
Such glorious weather. It's simply
great and makes one wish that there
was some process known in which this
delightful weather could be canned
and put away, rs one puts up fruit,
and have it handy about couple Of
months hence when the days are cold
and dreary.
