INADEQUATE RURAL
MAIL DELIVERY HERE
Pomona Grange a Unit in
COndemning Changes Which
Have Made Service Deficient
IMPROVED ROADS
DAMAGED BY TRUCKS

The present inadequate and den-
cient mail service in rural New Cas-
tie county was a subject discussed
at The afternoon session OF Pomona
Grange in Eden Hall, yesterday af-
ternoon The grange is a unit for the
betterment Of the mail service in the
rural county. the efficiency Of which,
II is contended has decreased 80 per
cent. in the last six months owing to
the radical changes in the routes
made by the administration.
A resolution was adopted opposing
any changes in the rural mail service
which would have the effect, as had.
so far. the last change. OF retarding
and constructing the service in the
rural districts II was stated at the
session that there had been two or
three amendments tackled on the pos
office appropriation act by the Con
gress. each OF which. il was claimed
by the grangers would have the ef-
feet OF further retarding the eh-
cheney OF the rural mail service.
The resolution adopted follows.
Whereas. The rural free delivery
Of mail has been of great benefit to
the farmers. and under the present
re-routing scheme of the present ad-
ministratlon. il has worked hardship
to many as to the time and place OF
delivery, therefore be Il
Resolved, That Centre Grange. No.
II. p. OF H.. of Delaware. condemns
the new system OF motor routes, as
uneconomic and detrimental TO the
interest of the rural people. We CON
denim the practice OF extending free
! delivery service In small towns and
boroughs while the farmers service
Is being curtailed.
Another important matter which
was considered through the presenta-
tion Of resolution by the committee.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be care
ful what you use Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. which is very injurious. as III
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather. cleanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and is
soft fresh looking bright. fluffy. wavy
and easy 10 handle. Besides, il
