Rural Mail Service.

Stanton, Jan. 20.-It is our inten-
ton to try to interest the rural car
riers and all the patrons of rural
mail service in something that will
be of general interest.
The first thing we wish to call
their attention to is the state meet
ing to be held in Memphis on Feb
ruary %. The carriers of Tennes-
see, Arkansas and Mississippi have
arranged this meeting and are invit-
ing their patrons to meet with them,
and we are asking the commercial
bodies of Memphis to insist on all
citizens of the city who wish to sup
ply themselves with fresh produce
during the year direct from the farm
to be present, so they may meet the
farmers who attend and make ar
rangements in regard to purchase of
same to be sent by parcels post.
Such things as butter, eggs, dressed
fowls, old hams, and almost every
thing they need. This will place the
producer and consumer in personal
communication, and those who take
advantage of this meeting will be the
ones benefited. This is the first
meeting of this kind and we expect
it to be an annual affair and to grow
in interest. Every farmer who has
anything to sell that can be sent by
parcels post should attend. The
fourth assistant postmaster general
has been invited to address the meet
ing, and w. d, Brown, editor of the
rural route carriers national organ
will be there There will be promi-
nent good roads advocates present !
and we hope to launch one of the
greatest good roads movements for
post roads ever started We want to
start something that will give a dol |
lars worth of results for every dol |
lar spent, so we hope everyone who |
Is actually good roads booster will |
be on hand. There is not a merchant |
Or citizen of these small towns of |
less than 10000 inhabitants who is
not directly interested in rural free
delivery, and no one is barred from
his meeting, and we hope every
farmer in the Memphis territory who
possibly can will be present, and the
'ural letter carrier who does not at
end will plainly show he has no in
crest in the upbuilding of the serv-
ce. Every rural carrier should feel
IN interest in his patrons and do all
he can for them. He is personally in
crested in post roads and when he
ails to attend these meetings and
Issist by his presence and advice in
cushing good roads movements he
loes not deserve anything better
han mud holes and bad bridges, so
hope every rural carrier who reads
his viii attend and do what he can
o make the meeting big success.
The Memphis people are going to
10 their part. Let's make 1916 the
lest year of our lives and improve on
ever afterwards. / hope every
arrier in this county will attend.

clutch also work in oil,tthus afford
ing ease and durability So smooth
in action are the brakel and gears
and so simple in operation is gear
changing that one can dart the car
from rest and get into high gear
within five yards. Theaa is no ne
cessity to await ones opportunity
to slip one gear wheel .nto another
moving at a different sssed. There
is no nerve raekins Jar the gear
teeth scrape away each ner's flesh
and precipitate grit particles
amongst those whirlng Nheels. Just
gently let it come bacF again and
away you go in "high."
So powerful is the sturdy engine
that once in high gear you need not
come down again unless you ar tici-
pate climbing up stairs t. bed by car.
For all ordinary purposes you use
only the high gear. The drive a
direct one. The transmission re-
wolves en- bloc. There is no eontinu-
al wear on the gear wheels, as they
are not in use.
Turn now to the magnetic. Notice
how completely enclosed it is; how
it runs in oil; how simple it is in
construction. No timing gears; no
ball bearings, no delicate brushes or
contact breakers. The c0mmutator
is lusy affair, whilst thelcoil vibra-
tors can be adjusted without stop
ping the car. Should mis-fring oc-
cur, as it win in any engine, you can
detect the offending cylinder Instant
ly by simply holding down the coil
vibrators two at time.
In the present type Of cars the
even provides sufficient cur
rent to supply the head lights.
The foregoing are but a few of
the details which make the Ford diff
ferent, which make it comfort to
the non-professionl driver and rem
der the life of the professional dri-
yer a chauffeur's heaven.
One could continue the list almost !
indefinitely. The Ford owner has on
ly to ask himself why his car is so
simple, so flexible, so economical and |
SO reliable, and then to lift the bon
net and see before him the answer
to his questions. Let him notice, for
instance, the absence of water pumps,
exposed magnetos and dynamos. No
ice again the steering gear tucked
away neatly at the top of the steering
column. And he win rise up and
all the genius of the Ford car bles-
'ed. Adv

Are You in the Bread Line or the
Bank Liner"

Are You in the Bread Line" or the
Bank Liner"
In our great northern cities on
bitter cold nights there may be
always found the bread line-a line
of homeless, jobless, joyless men,
patiently waiting in the snow and
rain for bit of bread and soup dol
ed out to them by charity. In city
of wealth and luxury, these men are
without money, clothes, and food;
surrounded by plenty, they are beg
CARS.
Broken and old many of them,
without hope or ambition, these I'M
fortunates afford a lesson that no
young man can afford not to heed.
Luck" may have broken badly with
many of them, it is true; but who
will say how many Of them, in the
golden days of their youth, wasted
their earnings in riotous living, for
getting to provide for the "rainy
days" that bring their gloom and
sorrow into most of our lives?
Nor is the bread line confined to
our great cities. Too many rural
communities have their ''bread
lines" too-perhaps not so evident,
perhaps not SO much talked Of, but
there just the same. Who is it that
cannot name young farmers, who,
beginning with good health and
strength have, after years of toll,
found themselves without an acre of
land, without a home, close upon the
ragged edge of actual want? Doubt
less many of these men, too, have
been unfortunate; but who will say
that there are not thousands of them
who forgot that it is not what we
make but what we save that counts;
that joining the ''bank line" is the
surest way on earth to avoid the
bread line.
Save, young man, save" and
present sacrifice for future happi-
ness" are principles that should be
burned deeply into the consciousness
Of every boy and young man ia the
south.-The Progressive Farmer.

OWEN ROONEY, POLICE

Atlantic Avenue Commander on
Force Thirty Years.

Captain Owen Rooney, for two years
commander Of the Atlantic Avenue po-
lice station, Brooklyn, it was an
nounced at Manhattan Headquarters
yesterday, has been retired on half pay
on his own application. The retire
ment is another victory for Commits
sioner Woods in the campaign to sup
plant the old school captains with the
younger men trained in Woodss school.
Some months ago Woods began the
wedding out of the old-timers. Unlike
ex-Commissioners Waldo and Bingham,
Woods did not try the freezing-out
process, but appealed to the captains
loyalty to the department. Captain
Rooney is the fourth man TO give way
to Woods's plan.
Rooney is ffty-eight years old, and
has been a policeman thirty years and

Too Many Greenhouses Now.

"It would be particularly unfortunate
to extend the greenhouses because al
ready there are three sets of temporary
greenhouses in the Malone set under
the charge of the Agricultural Depart
ment, another set maintained by the
officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds, and the third set belong
ing to the Botanic Garden. AS the plan
for placing public buildings along the
south side of the Avenue develops, all
the space now devoted to greenhouses
will be needed for park purposes or for
public buildings AS buildings are con-
structed the demand for park space
will increase, in order to accommodate
the people working in the new struc-
lures, and the orderly arrangement of
this space will become imperative. The
plan of 1901 provides for just this need.
This commission recognizes the two
functions of the Botanic Garden. First
the function is to supply an arboretum
developed as highly as such institu-
tions are developed in other countries
This will require considerable land. To-
Gated necessarily some distance from
the Capitol The other function of fur
nishing flowers, seeds and cuttings to
members of Congress is also recog-
niZed: and it is desirable to have green
houses for the display of rare plants
and flowers. but such gardens should

room for expansion. We would sug-

Head Of Bureau of Mines Tells of
Brass Melting Process-Other
Activities Revealed.

Many important achievements of the
federal bureau of mines are outlined in
the annual report of the director of the
bureau, Van H. Manning, just made
public. Mr.. Manning announces the de-
velopment of an electrical furnace
which promises to wipe out losses of
$10.000,000 a year in the melting of
brass: the manufacture of radium
worth more than s1.O00,0O0. and the
manufacture of gasoline at a cost of
cents a gallon, besides other note
worthy work accomplished by the bu-
reau.
The manufacture of radium was ac-
compliShed in cooperation with the
National Radium Institute, which fur
nished capital of 100000 necessary to
develop an economical method of ex-
tracing the precious metal from the
carnotite ores of the west. Eight and
one-half grams of radium We're pro-
duced at a cost less than $4,000 per
gram, which in open market would
have cost between 100000 and 100000
a gram. The greater part of the prod
uct was turned over to two great hos
pitfalls for use in treatment of cancer
from which, it is estimated, there are
$4,000 deaths each year in the United
States.

Inadequate for Garden.

TO perpetuate the present Botanic
Garden by addition in space intended
for park purposes can result only in
| confusion. The great memorials to
Gen. Grant and Gen. Meade will be left
without those landscape settings which
are absolutely essential to their char
acter and design. The Capitol will be
left without that dignified approach
which was one of the features of the
plan prepared under the direct per-
Sonal supervision of Washington and
; Jefferson. And all to no purpose. since
. tn" liDtani" Garden. e en- >s enlarged
will still be inadequate to perform the
, function intended. The enlarged area
comprises less than twenty-five acres.
whereas the smallest botanic garden of
whlcn we have record. that in BuenoS
Aires. Argentina, has twenty-three
acres.
The development of the eastern end
of the Mail has been deiaVed for tho
want of accurate surveys on which to
| base grading and planting plan. 1t
is only recently that funds have been
secured to make such plan, but such a
plan has been mad" and trees have been
planted in accordance with it. The
as rapidly as the funds available will
allow.
In view of the fact that so much
progress has been made and that pla 40
are ready to be carried out which will
add to the attractiveneSS and useful
mes of the Mall, any further encroach-
ment in the way of buildings, however
temporary. should not be allowed in
that space.
