Cost of Post Office Boxes.

Last week we suggested that
people who get mail regularly
should have a postoffice box. We
neglected to tell how cheap boxes
are, but here are the prices. The
neat little lock boxes are only 35c
for three months, the medium
size boxes are 45c and the large
size boxes are 60c. Remember,
this is for 3 months. All rents
end on the last day of the quar-
ter, but a person taking a box
now would pay only the proper
tionate rate for the balance Of
the quarter. Since we have called
attention to the matter, number
of people have rented boxes. the
postmaster tells US. And there
are dozens of others who should
have boxes. The convenience of
having a box is much greater
than the cost. Being able to get
ones mail, even if the windows
of the Office are closed, is worth
4 great deal.

Parents Of young men who ar

certain sensational newspaper

One story that Is being spread

half starved. Let us dissect this
story.
The government issues 4 stated
amount of rations to each man
each day. Here is one days al
lowance per man:
ia pounds of fresh meat.
/ pound and 2 ounces of fresh
bread, or its equivalent in flour.
1.S ounce of baking powder
24-1O ounces of navy beans, or

A splendid field range is fur

and every facility is provided for
their needs and welfare.
The soldiers of the regular
army are receiving exactly the
same allowance as the soldiers of
the National Guard, yet never a
murmer is heard from the regul-
ars.
1t is but just, however, to the
great mass of National Guard
troops to state that the kicking
generally comes from a class of
men who are never satisfied, no
matter how much they receive.
If there are any parents and
friends of soldiers in this vicinity
they should not be alarmed. The
government supplies all the men
require ia food, the surgeons
are doing their utmost in sanitary
measures, and the authorities are
straining every nerve to preserve
the health and morale of the
troops.

that salary to live on. Without it, life
would become a very serious matter. The
more he thought of this, the more he real
lied that resigning was out of the ques-
ton. He really had no alternative but to
make good; so he you'd make good.
The resolution, in itself, was enough to
brace him. The important thing now
was, not to make Carter, Rand & Sea-

Farnsworth understand this: it was to
make Miss Winthrop understand it. He

Wadsworth ordered a cock

"How's the market to-

inquired how the market was

inquired as to the health of
an elderly person.

Don.

"Think of retiring?"
"To tell the truth, l hadn't

Don restrained a desire to
read his letter through once
more.
"Take my advice and
do it, nodded Wadsworth.
Nothing in it but a .beastly
grind. It's pulling on YOU"
AS a matter of fact, Don
had lost some five pounds in
the last month, and it showed
in his face. But it was not
business which had done that,
and he knew it. And Miss
Winthrop knew it.
1t was certainly white of
her to take the trouble to
write to him like this. He
wondered why she did. She
had not been very much in
his thoughts of late, and he
took it for granted that to the
same degree he had been alb
sent from hers. And here she
had been keeping count of
every time he came in late.
Curious that she should have
done that!
IN the library, he took out
Atheletter and read it through
again. Heavens, he could not
allow himself to be discharged
like an unfaithful office-boy!
His father would turn in his
grave. 1t would be almost
as bad as being discharged
for dishonesty.
Don's lips came together
in thin lines. This would
never do-never in the world.
As Miss Winthrop suggested,
he had much better resign.
Perhaps he ought to resign,
anyway. No matter what he
