poorly directed ana TO persons Ol
whom the office has no record.
The postmen believe that the BUSH
ness men are willing to cooperate
with the office and that the difficulty
has arisen through the idea that the
carriers are acquainted with all per-
sons on their routes. More than H.
600 persons receive mail in North To-
peka, however, and often subsu-
tute carrier whose acquaintance on the
North Side is limited, is called upon
to serve.
Entertainment for Playground.
An ice cream social and free en-
tertainment will be given at Quincy

nance of the Fairgrounds have prac-
tically run out and a series of enter
tainmentS have been planned by which
be raised to carry the directors through
this season. Owing to the shortage of
funds several of the directors are serV-
ing without pay.
Street Still Uttered.
Despite numerous complaints, gar
deners and farmers who meet early
every morning at the intersection OF
Kansas and Central avenues, continue
to litter the street with vegetables and
other refuse. Residents in the neigh
borhood are also dissatisfied at the
manner in which many of the produce
dealers who meet at the corner APP
proach and leave the place. Frequent
ly persons living in the vicinity are
awakened at an outrageously early
hour by some noisy wagon.

dressed are delivered to the persons
to whom they belong but frequently

that the business of disposing OF the
measures will be expedited.
This House held an uneyentful after

tioning being Mr. Hapgood's second tri,
umph in as many days. The bill introduced
by the gentleman from Peru TO exempt

he decided to the state, wss reported
adversely by the committee on grand list
but as on Tuesday the House needed
Mr.. Hapgood's remarks and voted 70
advance the bill to third reading.
Third reading was ordered on II. LAP,
another st. Adams measure and Mr..
fIapgood caused some hilarity by asking
Mr.. Smith of St. Adams if he would
promise not TO introduce any more bills

It is difficult to understand why $500
Americans should still linger in the City
of Mexico if the condition there re-
specting foreigners is as bad as il is re-
ported to be. One would naturally ex-
pect that the feeling of representation
would prompt nearly everyone OF them
to cross the border into their own land,
or to some other country where they
would be given reasonable assurance Of
safety. In most cases, perhaps, the dol
lar chain is holding them in leash.

state began to swing back to the Re

A slight reduction in the cost Of living
throughout the country is indicated by
the drop in prices Of several staple ar
ticles Of food; and the reduction is bound
to be even more pronounced Just a. soon
as mother nature begins her work OF
production in those sections which have
been locked by the embrace Of winter
for several months. Vermont should
have a fairly important part in helping
along the general movement in New
England and the states Of the north At
lantic division, providing the farmers OF
the state are willing TO assist, for Yer
mont is quite a heavy feeder for all that
section Just indicated.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Capable County Agent.

The retirement of Henry Jennings, as
ricultural expert for Rutland county,
after one years service under direction
of the Rutland county farm bureau,
comes as a distinct surprise. Mr. len-
nings has made an enyiable record in his
short period of service, for iudefatigabil-
ity and industry, and has become very
widely and favorably known in all sec
tions of the county. 1t is somewhat I'M
fortunate that, having become so well
started in the work. he feels forced to
retire but it is possible that some new
man will be able to take up the work
where be drops il without much real
loss.-Rutland News
