vice-Greater Interest in Better
Highways to Be One Of Ultimate
Results.
Special to Times-Republican

Estherville, Sept. 10.-The motor SER
vice for delivery of mail on the rural
routes out of Baskerville has now been
in effect for one week and that the
move was practical one from the eff
cheney as we'll as the financial stand
point has been thoroughly demon
strated, says Postmaster Frank Car
penter, who is making the test here for
the department. Three carriers are
now making the routes by automobile
for which six carriers were previously
required and all the patrons on the
routes are receiving their mail as
promptly as ever and some of them
earlier in the day. The carriers leave
at $3.50 o'clock each morning and are
completing their routes at around and
1880 o'clock D. M, and never later than
2 o'clock p. m.
Prompt Service Obtained.
Under the old service three of the
carriers who used horse and wagon
were unable to make the routes and get
back earlier than from to 5 o'clock.
In view of the objections voiced by ca
lamity howlers and disgrunted politi-
clans prior to the change, some doubts
were entertained by patrons OF the
routes as to whether or not the service
could be successfully maintained. but
after a weeks trial there is nothing in
the way of an objection that can be
said in regard to the motor routes. The
government is saving $500 per year
by the change. In adopting this means
of delivery the postoffice department
has manifested the progressive Ameri-
can spirit which has kept this country
at the head of all others. Horses took
the place of oxen, automobiles have
superseded horses in all walks OF life
and it is fitting that they should be
utilized for improving the rural deliv-
cry service.
Will Influence Better Roads.
Great as rural mail delivery is, 1t Is
merely in its infancy so far as its pos
sibility of service Is concerned. Such
a project is certain to grow. What ru-
raj delivery may be dozen or so years
hence no prophet could foretell.
One aspect of the new venture has not
been given a prominence it deserves.
This is its relation to the movement
for better highways. Whether an
nounced definitely or not, il is safe to
say that this experimental auto deliv-

ODD ~CuREs" FOR MALADIEs
superstitious Remedies That in An
cient Times Were Thoroughly
Believed In.

For sore eyes a touch froIo an old
gold wedding ring is a popular remedy,
and many an old womans ring has
earned for itself great name as an
eye healer. Apparently reliable au-
thorities can be found who assert that
they have been cured by touch OF
this description. Borlase asserts as
fact that halter with which anyone
has been hanged will cure headache
instantly if tied around the head, and
he adds, Moss growing upon human
skull, il dried and powdered and Ia
ken as snuff, is no less efficacious."
Brand tells of several superstitious
remedies or charms: Hollow stones
are hung UP in stables at night to pre-
vent nightmares, or ephialtes. They
are usually called in the north of Eng
land holy stones The chips of gall
lows and places of execution are used
as amulets against agues. For warts
we rub our hands before the moon and
commit any maculated part to the
touch of the dead Rev. Mr.. Shaw,
in his history of the Province Of Mo-
rau, says that in hectic or consump-
tive diseases they pare the nails of
the fingers and toes Of the patients,
put these parings into a rag cut from
mis- clothes, then wave the hand with
the rag thrice round the head crying
'Deas Soil After this they bury the
rag in some unknown place. He tells
us he has seen this done, and Pliny,
in his Natural History mentions IL as
practiced by the magicians or Druids
of his time"

RIGHTS OF sERENADlNG CATS
Seems That One May Throw Boot
jacks at Them, But You Mustn't
Shoot Them.

There is a widespread impression
that squalling cat which keeps a
law-abiding citizen awake at night is
a nuisance, and that to end its cries
quickly and painlessly makes a man
a public benefactor. But a Trenton
IN. ID resident, who tried that sort
of treatment on neighbor's pet sing
er, has been sent to jail because of his
refusal to pay the fine which was as
sessed on him by local judge. He
considers himself a martyr and says
he will live on bread and water soon
er than admit that he has done any
wrong.
This brings up an issue which will
interest sleepless men and women the
world over There does not seem to
be any question as to the right of the
distracted person to say 'scat!" to the
serenading cats. Indeed, his time-hon-
ored privilege of hurting bootjacks,
hair brushes, cakes of soap, slippers
and other articles of wearing apparel
and personal adornment at the offend
ing Tables and tommies remains I'M
impaired. The real point at stake is
his right to shoot cats that disturb his
slumber.
Most cats may be shot with impun-
ity, but not all cats. In this, as in
many other mooted questions, it all
depends upon whose cat you shoot.

There are difficulties and dangers
before our nation today Just as great
as any our forefathers faced To

temperance and the drug habit, and
the social evil, deadly to soul and body
alike; there are the problems of
moral education, of marriage and di-

Business an End In Itself.

What had he thus far learned from
making bedsteads? Had he ever con-
sidered there was anything to be
learned from that occupation? The
uncouth figure of his father began to
grow before him, gazing at him accus-
ingiy from under shaggy brows. Was
it possible, then, that business was
in a sense an end in itself, aside from
the gaining of money? Was it the
overcoming of obstacles; the sharpen
ing of character against routine; the
winning in competition; the waiting
for unseen ends-that kept the world
at the daily treadmill, yet keen eyed
and eager? In that moment it came
to him it was so.-From ''Dalhousie's

WEATHER AND CROPS.

The weather was unusually cold during the past week, the mean temperature being about [ 10 degrees below normal. Heavy frost was reported at a number of places from the 9th to the 9th, killing at a few places. The frost did not do much damage, as nearly all crops were ma tured.
 Cotton bolls are opening and the crop is being picked as rap idly as possible. Conditions were ideal for rice harvest, which is nearly completed, and rice threshing, which is well be- gun.
 There were a few reports of alfalfa and number of reports of vegetables being injured by frost. Late fall vegetables con- tinue abundant, but tomatoes and cucumbers are becoming scarce.-H. s. Cole, Section Di- rector.
