Rural Carrier Salary Adjustment.

On August 1st, the Postmaster Gen.
eral issued an order indicating a
readjustment of salaries of rural
carriers as prescribed by Act of Con-
gress to 60 into effect, July lst. The
general supposition was that all carriers
paid at the rate of $l,l0O per year
would have their salary raised to 81, 200,
but the Postmaster General interpreted
the law differently and based the
salaries on standard routes, according
to length, "a mile or over route, such
as are all the Cresco routes, being
required to carry 10000 pieces of mail
per month with total weight Of 300
pounds. An increase OF decrease of
SIP per annum was made for each !, 900
pieces greater or less than the schedule;
an allowan of $l2 per annun for each
closed pouch Of mail carried per day,
and also for each full mile of route
served in excess of Is miles in length.
"a On this schedule, and with the weight
Ind count made by the carriers from
April to June, the salaries OF the Cres-
co carriers were fixed as follows -

Fred Brooks Badly Injured.

A. L.. White, who returned Tues.
day evening from trip to Bismark. N.
D.. stopped at Minneapolis to visit
Fred Brooks, formerly of Cresco, and
found him in Asbury hospital in pitt
full condition, the result of blasting
explosion. He had recently purchased
a suburban home, on which he was
digging a well. He was arranging for
a blast on Wednesday of last week and
had carried a battery from the house
to the yard and had laid wires from
the battery to the well, but without
connecting them. While down in the
we'll, his little four year old boy picked
up the wires, made the connection
with the battery and touched off the
blast over which Fred was at work,
with awful results. as there is no hope
whatever of saving one eye, but the
doctors have faint hopes of saving the
other.

Granger Creamery Out Of Debt.

On June S, 1911, the Granger Farm
ers' Co. Operative Creamery opened
their doors for business with an indebt-
edness of more than 5000. BY deduct
ing cent per pound for every pound
of butter made, as sinking fund, they
have lifted the last note, and to-day
are free of Indebtedness, which is a
remarkable record, owing to the fact
that the creamery started with less
than Is patrons. scattered over large
territory, and competition on all sides.
some cooperative and some individual
ownership creameries.
They have steadily gained patronage
until to date, July 18th, they have a
total of 275 patrons. Being situated
10 miles from railroad station, and
having ten cents per one hundred on all
outgoing and incoming freights, while
all competitors being located on the
railroad, has made it pretty hard
sledding." &a-. sssss
The success of the creamery is III
to the careful management of ]. A
Ludwig, backed by sturdy board of
directors, and the faithful performance
and never-tiring efforts of our skillful
buttermaker, w. w. Newland, who
first opened the doors of our creamery
and still remains with it.
The first board of directors have been
reelected each year with the exception
of one who moved away, and one who.
has been removed by death.
Following is statement of business
done in the month of June, 1914.

judge WithrOW Visits CresCo.

Judge w. S. Withrow, of the Iowa
Supreme Court, and candidate for
re-elaction, was in Cresco, Wedne sday,
and the Plain Dealer acknowledges a
.calhfrom him. However, as the Repub.
licans have in the past advocated a
non. partisan judiciary and practiced
uniformly the nomination and election
of Republicans, the Plain Dealer feels
that the strife among the Republican
candidates is of no concern to Demo-
Gratis. but will do oil it can to advance
the candidacy of Seth Thomas, feeling
that Democrat on the supreme bench
will be beginning for genuine, nom
partisan judiciary.

will patronize the dealers on this street,

One hundred years of peace, What
thoughts these words arouse! How
wonderful il is that we are permitted
to celebrate such an occasioni And
yet how perfectly natural! For war
between English speaking people
would be unnatural. What an object
lesson to the world! What inspiration
for those who dream of the day OF
universal peace
What does it mean? Here are two
mighty nations sp ung from the same
source that for a century have known
only peace between them while war
has ragged on all sides. And in like
ness there is ample opportunity for
difference Thus it has happened
that there have been times when re-
lations have been greatly strained
only to resume the normal when the
realization of what war between these
kindred folk would mean had caused
a violent reaction against such ugly
thoughts
Here We are with our boundry line
stretching from Atlantic 20 Pacific
between the nation and the wonder
full British possessions Of canada.
Yet there is nothing to mark the pas
sage from one country to the other.
one enters Canada or the United
States as easily almost as one passes
from one state of the Union to the
other.
The eye searches in vain for the
f'owning battlement or the hostile
gun. No machinery OF war mars the
passage. Nothing but signs of peace
from the lines OF demarcation on Eu-
pean soil, No heavy standing armies
here strainng at the leash and anxi-
ous to get a one anothers threats.
The arts OF peace prevail and instead
of martial rivalry there is the good
natured rivalry of who best shall build
in peaceful progress
Is this not wonderful in these days
Of national spitcs and suspicious? Is
IL no. worthy of being celebrated? is
it not Lesson to this t,oublcd old
world. the lesson that mutual respect
and confidence have placed in the
scheme Of international relations?
fmihently Citing is IT, then, that
Americans and Canadians join To-
morrow in showing there realization
and appreciation of 100 years Of
peace.-St. Adams Messenger.
