Henry Fletcher of Providence, While it is learned on high authority that there has been an agreement or ar rangement as to the republican nom- inee, prominent republican leaders in the state regard Stiness as strong man who would make a fast race for congress and would ably fill the seat formerly occupied by the late Adin E. Capron and the late Governor and Representative George H. Utter.
 If it should d be decided that Gen. Stiness ought to stand for congress on his partys ticket of course he would have to resign from his present official position, but his term will expire in the ordinary course of events before long.

ADDITIONAL SPUR TO FARM Frs.
The European war should act as an
additional spur to the farmers to pre-
pare their land as far as possible this
fall for next years crop. Every avail
sbie acre should be put under the
pillow to raise the grain that will be
needed to feed the fighting forces of
Europe.
The wal promises to be a long one.
No one can even speculate now on
the dreary lengths to which the con.
dict, will be drawn. 1t is a safe as
sumption. however, that the products
Of the farm will be in as great de-
mand. II not greater, next year than
y Tie case now. @
This prospect should spur the farm
or oil to greater and better produc-
tion next year. Now is the appoint
ed time to prepare for big returns.

Fifty years ago today the worlds
first railway mail car was given its
official test. Two mice were respon.
sible for the idea. Before that day
the mail was distributed according to
addresses at certain designated post
offices, which usually were the dis.
tributing points of whole states. It
was slow and laborious work. At one
of these distributing points, Green
Fay, Mich, a pair of mice made their
home in q pouch that had lain in the
post office for several days. When
the pouch finally reached its desti.
nation, near the upper shores Of Lake
Superior, the receiving postmaster
found not only the rodent home-seek-
ers, but also a large; family of little
mice. They had made beds Of chew
'ed-up letters. The postmaster re-
ported the matter to the. Chicago Of
flee and sent along the mice as an
exhibit which was received by
George B. Armstrong, the assistant
postmaster. To prevent q repetition
of such an occurrence, Armstrong
sought to speed up the mail service,
and finally evolved the idea of having
the mail distributed on the trains
while in transit. The plan was ridi-
culed. One man declared: ''The gov.
eminent will have to employ a regi-
ment of men to follow the trains to
pick up the letters that would be
blown out of the cars" However, the
first postal car, an ordinary baggage
a equipped with racks and pigeon
holes, made its initial run from Chi
cago to Clinton, Iowa, fifty years ago
today.

In General Use .

Today every nation in the civilized
world is distributing a large part Of
its mail matter in railway mail cars.
In the United States over $4,000 rail-
way mail clerks are separating over
80 per cent Of all the mail originating
in this country and a large volume
coming from foreign lands. They
have separated in a single year cal.
ly %, 0 ,0OO, 1000 pieces of mail mat
ter, not including registered mail.
They travel ar aggregate distance OF
100000, 900 miles every year on the
$4,000 domestic transportation routes
having a combined mileage of 100000
miles. The service has been raised
to the highest point of efficiency to-
day and the present ratio OF errors In
distribution has been reduced to one
in 10000 pieces of mail. The clerks
are expected to distribute the mail
SO that there will be, no srehandling in

The Board Of Equalization is to be

which 1t is adjusting the assessments
of taxable property. It is going about
the business In an orderly manner
and in time will have for the public
an interesting statement Of results.
There is no cry at this time for a
boost in the taxes. With the world
facing q serious financial condition
everything points to retrenchment;
not expansion. Doubtless the MEM

preciate this fact, for they are pro.
