United States Treasury as savings due

United States Treasury as savings due
to efficient CD administration"
Unusually good weather conditions
the past year, lack of snow drifts to
buck and fairly good roads since the
extension of routes have enabled the
carriers to do better work during the
past year than will be possible under
less favorable circumstances. Many
carriers, who purchased automobiles,
with the understanding that thoy were
to receive slight increase in salary
are finding them too expensive on the
longer routes and with the poor
wages paid, and are going back to
horse-drawn vehicles. This means a
further slowing up of the service.
The Democratic politicians of the
county have been petitioning the pos
tai authorities for Heavens sake to
ease up until after election and it is
understood they have received the un-
derstanding that until after November
the post offices at Barnitz, Hunts
dale and Plainfield will not be discon-
tinued, but the people about there are
not to be fooled.

and three ugly-looking 'ratters." On
Saturdays they usually go down on
Snake Branch and hunt for more rep
tiles. However, these new reptiles are
not placed with their pets, but kept in
a separate cage, and are usually ship
ped to owners of small shows and mu-
seums, from whom they get from SS
to So for each reptile.
Neither of the boys has ever been
bitten. The older boy gave a lecture
on snakes before the pupils of the
Shoal Creek school. He surprised
teacher and pupils alike by his clas-
sification of reptiles, giving their Latin
names, and discussing the harmless
and the dangerous varieties, taking
each from a box as he explained their
varied habits.
Boy friends of the Shorl lads follow
them about, and a few are brave
enough to timidly touch reptiles
tail when its head is securely held by
one of the experts" But the instant
the snake darts out it's tongue they
depart in haste.
What the boys and the grown peo-
pie of the neighborhood do not know
is the fact that the fangs of all the
poisonous reptiles have been removed.
This was done by an uncle of the
boys, a professional snake charmer,
who visited them nearly a year ago.

prompt and there were few errors.
Now just the opposite is true. In an
effort to cut down the expenses of the
department at Washington and make
a showing for Burleson and Blaks-
less, no less than eight post offices in
Cumberland counk have been discon-
tinued and three more are ION the
fence" with the likelihood that they
may be dropped Immediately after
election. In addition seven rural de-
livery routes have been discontinued
and most of the other delivery routes
have been length ened from "a TO 80
miles, according to department meas
uroments, but these are much less than
the actual lengths as the drivers find
them.
Post Offices Dropped
Republican postmasters general
found it necessary, for the convenience
of the public to have post offices at
Eperlys Mills, Hunters Run, Longs
dorf Montsera, Starners. Trindle
Spring and Uriah. These are small
places but are the centers of rural
population and post office facilities

offices mentioned and in addition have
blotted out the rural delivery lines of
Huntsdale, Kerrsville. Newburg, New
Kingstown. Allen and West Fairview.
Farmers Indignant
OF course those who were left with
out adequate postal facilities were in
dignant over this wholesale disregard
for their rights and they petitioned to
Washington. In some cases, farmers
say, their letters were not even an
swered. Evidently the post office au-
thorities were too busy cutting out
post offices elsewhere to pay any at

tention to them, or thought that the
opinions of Pennsylvania farmers
didn't count for anything. Now, how
ever, they are beginning to find that
the Pennsylvania farmer does not for
get an injury and that he is going to
square up accounts November Z. To
say that the farmers who have been
injured by this reckless invasion of
their rights and privileges are angry
Is putting 1t mildly. The districts
along the discontinued rural routes
oinces are going TO line up almost
solidly for Hughes. your correspondent
finds upon questioning the residents.
Many of the men now out for the Re-
publican ticket because of this neglect
are Democrats.
Results of Neglect
Nor can anybody on becoming ac-
quainted with conditions blame them.
Mail of many patrons is now delivered
from four to five hours later than be-
fore the changes of route, and any
business man knows what that means
in the course of a days work. Car
riers have been transferred two or
three times to as many different
routes, thus compelling them to learn
their work all over again at the eX-
pense of delay and mistakes in de-
livery. The increased work, the un-
certainty of position and the apparent
unfriendliness of the administration
toward the men 1t employs have
caused carriers to become discouraged
and the result Is naturally half hearted
work, depreciation of equipment ana
lack of interest in the service. Many
of the best carriers have left or are
planning to leave for more promising
positions.
Worst of all, from the carriers
standpoint, much needed increase of
pay granted by Congress has been
withheld by the Democratic postmas-
ter general and turned back into the

Galena, Kan, Oct. 27.-Two small
boys, Willie and Robert Shorl, the
elder of whom is but IA years old, have
produced a sensation in the vicinity
of their home at Five Mile, where they
have big cage full of snakes of many
varieties. They play with these rep
tiles without the least sign of fear,
going through with all the stunts of
professional snake charmers.
The snakes coil themselves about
the boys necks and bodies. The lads
look in the eyes of their pets steadily
as they play with them. and they
handle them with the skill of profess
sionals.
The collection consists of black
snakes blue racers, chicken snakes,

When the infant grandson of the
