1t was twenty-five years ago today
that the free delivery of letters was
extended to all towns in the United
States having 5000 population or
over. This completed the extension
of free delivery Of letters paying 10
cents postage which began on that
date. The free delivery of letters
was, however, begun in the larger
cities in 1863, during the Civil war.
1t was then made necessary by the
fact that the post Offices to hear from
the front. In large cities like New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, the in
creased mail of war almost swamped
the post Office department and made
free delivery an absolute necessity.
But in 1854 there were only 6S5 letter
carriers in all the cities of the United
States. In 1889, when free delivery
was extended to smaller towns. citi-
zens in towns of $4,000 population had
to send to the post Office for their
mail. The most urgent letter could
not be delivered by pest a single mo-
ment ahead Of the most important
and a vast majority of the two.thirds
of the population Of the country liv-
ing in the rural districts had to travel
on an average of from five to ten
miles for mail and in many of these
districts mail was delivered at the
post office only once a week.

Today in almost every town and
city the mail is delivered at Office,
shop or residence from once to ten
times daily except Sunday by an army
OF 10000 letter carriers and another
army of nearly $4,000 rural carriers
serve country communities from Flor
ida to Canada and from Maine to Cali
fcrnia. An army Of more than Is, 900
men are employed by more than co..
600 post offices to serve the American
people and with the exception of It's
hamlets and small villages where
every resident is convenient to the
post office everybody receives his mail
by free delivery. In 1897 the rural
free delivery was established with "a
routes. For a year or two it was
purely an experiment for the expenses
were far in excess of the receipts and
even today rural free delivery does

For rural free delivery has not only
increased the attractiveness of rural
life but it has greatly augmented the

and contributed to the general pros

CAME HOME TO COS

w. r.. Lee of Minnesota and his
followers learned a dear lesson in
the recent primaries. They found
that it is not logical to attack an OPP
ponent viciously in the primary and
then expect to have his support at
the election.
Contests within the party must be
conducted along dignifed lines, if the
party is to face the enemy at election
with a united front. Mr.. Lee charged
dishonest motives to Mr.. Eberhart
and his followers to win the nomina-
ton and then he sought the support
of these men in the final election.
OF course, the support was not
Forthcoming. If ever a campaign was
bungled. the management behind Mr..
Lee is guilty of bungling. Political
incOmpetency was evident on all
sides during the fight and patheti-
cally apparent when the returns came
in.
Other factors also were RESPONSE
bile for Mr.. Lees defeat, but his CAM
paign furnishes one of the best ex-
amples of how a campaign should not
be run,
The opposite was true in North Da-
kota. Governor Hanna conducted a
quiet and dignified campaign at the
primaries. 1t was not difficult for
his opponents to wheel into line and
work for party success at the general
election. Surely, in time. politicians
will learn that a mudslinging triumph
is only temporary at best.

HAYDN'S MSS. CURL PAPERS
Great Composers Wife Did Not Ap'
preciate Genius That World
Acknowledged.

Haydn married the sister Of the
woman he loved. He vas a little more
han twenty years old when be fell in
love with the younger daughter Of a
certain Keller, a barber, who had done
much for him and been almost q father
10 him. But Keller used to say:
Haydn, you should marry my elder
daughter" Haydn obeyed, more from
duty than from love, and married Anna
Maria, the eldest daughter. He was
then twenty-seven and she thirty-two.
It was a most unhappy marriage;
there was not any reciprocity either OF
affection or tastes between husband
and wife. The world proclaimed Haydn
4 genius, but Anna Maria thought diff
rerently; for her there was little differ
ence between an artist and a cobbler,
and she TRANQUILITY used her husbands
manuscripts as curl papers for her
hair. And her gay humor! When her
husband was absent she wrote to him
In these pleasant terms: II you should
die some day or other, we have not
enough money in the house to bury
you" Or she communicated to him
this affectionate idea: Il nave eel a
pretty little house which like very
much. Please send me 1000 forms to
buy 1t, so that I may have a refuge
when I am a widow To the first
Haydn responded, without upsetting
himself greatly: III should die. take
ny MSS. to the editor-you will have
enough to pay my funeral expenses"
As for the house, he bought it. but 1t
served for him AZ q widower.

PROCURING REST FOR BRAIN
English Physician Gives Advice to
Those Who Suffer From Lack y
Of Sound Sleep.

Many men and women, especially
those past their first youth. find diff.
Guilty in procuring the sound, restful
sleep so necessary to keep mind and
body fit. Although physically the
body is tired out, the brain is as alert
as ever, and perfect oblivion is i'm.
possible.
An English physician gives some
interesting advice on the matter. I'm.
somnia," he states, "is one Of the pen.
allies Of the increasing strain modern
life throws upon our brains. The
man who works with his muscles and
lives in the open air is rarely a vic
tim Of sleeplessness.
"The essentials for a good nights
rest are mental repOse, a requisite
amount Of muscular fatigue. comfort
able body heat, and plenty Of ven
tilation.
THE most difficult to secure is
lessened brain activity. An excellent
plan is to take a brisk half-hour's
walk just before bedtime, followed by
a hot bath and a rundown, and then
a cup OF warm milk and a biscuit OF
two as m gets into bed.
1T in addition, the mind be TO-
cussed on some pleasant but not ex'
citing topic, a nights rest is assured
to all but the most chronic sufferer.
"The type in which the sleeper sud.
denly awakes an hour or so after hav.
ing fallen asleep usually means that
more outdoor muscular exercise IL
required"
