READJUSTING RURAL NAIL
POstOffice Department Getting Many
Complaints About Readjust-
ment of Rural Mail
Routes.

The post office department is said
to be getting many complaints about
readjustment of rural mail routes.
The government is trying TO extend
the service still further without IN.
creasing costs. That means rearrang-
ing the routes SO as to take in more
territory. 1t will be a problem to
meet all the conflicting demands from
localities and patrons.
When the service first started car
riers got only about $500 a year.
Now they have become an important
body, with political influence, and are
usually paid about $1,000 year. AS
they have to furnish their own teams
or automobiles, this may not be too
much. But with the tendency of gov
eminent jobs to be soft, the depart
ment should see to it that it gets
fair and reasonable days work in
every case.
1t must be enormously difficult for
men in an office at Washington to sit
down at their desks and arrange ev-
erything in practical way. A
route may look perfectly good on
the map. But it may be composed Of
roads so rough or hilly as to be i'm
practicable.
No one wants to be at the tail end
of a route, and unable to get his mail
until late in the day. Few people
like to receive their mail from a route
running out of some distant post
office, as they have to give their
correspondents an address previously
unknown, which causes confusion.
This also is often unpopular for
reasons of sentiment.
If the carrier starts on his work
early, he misses newspapers and
mails that he ought to deliver. If he
starts late, the patrons grumble at
the delay. To the man sitting at the
desk in Washington, this conflict of
interests must seem impossible TO re-
concile.
The patrons should keep in mind
the enormous cost of the service and
be careful not to ask too much. 1t il
of course desirable for business rea-
sons that a farmer should get his
mail in season to answer importa at
letters the same day.

AUCTION SALE ADS
REASONS WHY PUBLIC OPIN.
IONS PLAN OF HANDLING AUG
TION SALES OUGHT TO BE
FAVORED BY ALL WHO
CONTEMPLATE HAVING
A SALE IN THIS
ar SECTION.
Will Give Your Sale the Widest Pub.
licity and All at Small Cost.

First-Because it is a demonstra.-
ed success. In the past few years
hundreds of auction sales have been
advertised in the Public Opinion to
the mutual satisfaction of the seller
and buyer. Many of those who adj
vertised their sales in this paper
have said that on few articles they
have realized enough more than they
expected, to pay all the expenses of
the sale. In practically all cases
when results have been compared
with expectations the sales advertis-
ed in the Public Opinion have ex-
ceeded expectations, in some cases
by several hundred dollars.
Second Because people have come
to look to this paper for announce
ments of sales. The success of our
plan Of advertising sales has natur-
ally led people to expect that an auc-
ton sale in this section will be ad-
NGIliSSu III tllS UNIV opihiOli' Juo'
as they expect that the rural carrier
will deliver their mail.
Third-Because of its small eX-
pense. We make a uniform charge
for our service in reaching practically
all the people of this section, that is
but a little above what used to be
charged for sale bills that were read
by only few of the people.
Fourth-Because it puts the seller
in touch with his best available Gus
toner. The Public Opinion goes into
practically every home in DEBORAH
and the surrounding territory. The
people naturally look to this paper
to learn about auction sales. If a
man in this section of the country
wants for his own purposes any tool
or live stock advertised in any sale,
he knows just where to go to find It,.
He will be prepared to bid what he
believes the article or animal is
worth, because he has use for IT..
There will be no element of specula-
ton in his bid. With the old plan, the
people in the immediate neighbor-
hood were the only ones who knew OF
the sale, and they would generally
bid because they hoped to buy some
thing cheap.
Fifth-Because the Public Opln-
ion plan reaches all the people OF
this section while the auction bill
reaches only a few in the immediate
| locality of this sale
,S!xth-Because the Public Opinion
containing the auction advertising is
laid away and preserved in the home
while the bill is subject to the winds
as it is tackled on the fences and
