NAY GET AN INCREASE.
The Rural Mail Carriers May Get q
Larger Salary.

Rural mail carriers of Iowa will
receive an increase in salary from
$1,1O0 to $1,175 year If the appro-
priation for mail carriers included in
the postal bill is passed by the pres
ent congress. Assurances received
from Washington indicate that the
proposed fund for rural service will
not be disturbed; therefore the car
riers feel certain the increase will
materialize, the Des Moines officials
say
There are 2,426 rural carriers in
Iowa who will share in the wage ad
vance. 1t will mean that the govern
ment will distribute in Iowa $751;
$50 additional in salaries. The share
Of each man to be benefited will not
be large, but it will be q material re-
lief, they say, in the fight against the
high cost of living. The carriers at
their recent convention petitioned
congress for an appropriation for
maintenance of their horses or auto
mobiles. So far the carriers have
heard nothing of the effort for the
auxiliary fund. They claim to be en-
titled to allowance for horse feed as
much as a city carrier is.
A ySoA o5o VIC pay VI VI al Sol
riers was raised from $1,000 to ST.
100 year. If the present appropria-
ton bill goes through, the salary for
the next fiscal year will be 81 ,175 an
nually. BY degrees the carriers hope
to have the pay increased so that the
men in the service will be adequate
ly compensated for the work they
perform. The pay of $1,100 is the
maximum in the service for a route
of not less than twenty-four miles
in length. There are carriers with
smaller routes whose salary is in
proportion to the number of miles
travelled. However, the per cent of
routes less than the maximum is
very small, it is said. y
The rural service is so we'll estab-
lished in Iowa that there are few
changes, the officials say. During
the last year there was only one new
route established and there were
none discontinued. The officials have
no complaint to offer of the condi-
ton of the Iowa roads. They report
that during the last year there was
a tremendous improvement in the
highways owing to the increased in
terest in improvement of roads,

Ruth REGARD, now 6 years old and

Ruth Regard, now years old and
weighing SO pounds, whose home is
at Menlo, is believed to have been
the smallest specimen OF humanity
ever brought into the world. At
birth the child weighed but three
quarters of pound. With all her
clothes on, including the best of Han
nels, she weighed not quite one and
one-half pounds. A scent piece
would cover her hand all over, leav-
ing Just the tips of the fingers Wis
ible. A common coffee cup covered
her head and shoulders and her faith
er's thumb completely hid the bottom
of her foot. Yet the child has
scarcely known an hour of sickness.

A storekeeper at Montgomery Cit,

A storekeeper at Montgomery City
has sprung a new one in the guess
ing game. He took a big rooster and
after letting him fast for day, put
him in his show window with large
pan of corn, the kernels of which
had been counted. He offered prize
to the person guessing nearest the
number of grains the rooster would
eat in twenty minutes. The rooster
had a ravenous appetite and for five
minutes it looked as if there would
not be single kernel left. But by
the time the twenty minutes had
elapsed he had curled up in corner.
He had succeeded in putting away
486 grains. A woman whose guess
was 48S got the prize.

south Bend is bound TO be grateful
to Sec'y II. G. Spaulding Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, for the opportune
assurance that none of the money
paid for the financing of the FEEDER
alton Of Social Service, is to go to
William Haynes, attache Of the Amer
lean City bureau, who has been acting
as sort of private secretary to Pres't
Kuhns in the federation management.
The only mistake in connection with
the arrangement is that Mr.. Haynes is
the man sent here by the bureau TO
hnish up the work of Messrs. Braddock
and Wilson, who conducted the Cham
Der Of Commerce reorganization cam
paign, and he has sort of insisted
upon staying, Notwithstanding that
his services are not needed.
1t appears that Messrs. Braddock
and Wilson came here under a con-
tract with the American City bureau
to reorganize the Chamber, the con-
tract providing that the campaign be
followed by n series of group meet
ings, getting men in different lines of
work together, and finding out their
needs of Chamber of Commerce help.
This latter was the purpose of send
ing Mr.. Haynes in their wake. The
group meetings fizzled out after a few
had been held, and his services having
been paid for they have since been
appropriated by the social service
federation in a capacity somewhat
advisory but mainly clerical.
After Thanksgiving day he will re-
turn to his family in New York, where
he also maintains dog kennels. Then
the Chamber Of Commerce will have
an opportunity to settle down TO it's
real work. for which Sec'y Spaulding
IS amply prepared. This service duly
performed and maybe there will be
less need Of a social service federation
some time in the future, but for the
present, at least, we may be grateful
that none of the money being dedi-
Gated TO the purpose is to be utilized
TO compensate imported helpers.
