I'VE have found in several in

all such cases we have either author

make such recommendation in our re
port TO the department The depart
ment planned the motor service
would be efficient for from nine TO
eleven months In the year. but II It
could be operated for nine months
and give better service IL would be
practical. There is another side to
the question. aud that Is the growing
parcels post business. The usual
buggy and horse will not always take
care of this branch OF the postal
service.
"The department is inaugurating

at efficiency and second at economy.

United States as well as Ellis coun-
~. There has been much money
wasted on duplicate mileage. In
one county in the north there were
leo miles duplicated in eleven routes

routes effect saving by joining two
routes. There are many carriers Who
perform less thar three hours OF
work each day and draw bis salaries.
while there are others who work ten
and eleven hours for the same sal
Iary The purpose OF the department
is TO equalize this WORK by reducing
the work OF the overworked carriers
and increasing the work OF the short

worth OF work for every 81 paid in

say that the department desires %
reduce salaries. On the contrary tho
department would be glad to raise
salaries and get the best carriers pos

"You have nothing to be ashamed

Nimrod, that some highly educated
theologists contend that the mission
aries are the oldest-that John the
Baptist was a missionary, and not

coded 2"
It's All Ridiculous.

But, during the last fortnight, I
have received several in1portuning
letters asking me TO reconsider. All
these letters are couched in flattering

whether all were written in sincerity
or not i Some Of these, however, are
appreciated because the signatures
themselves are proofs that they meant
