NOW WE ARE SOME 4puNkINs"
A Municipality With Free Mail De-
livery-Become Government Gen.
trail Office.

We are IT now, having taken on
the dignity of full blown city, with
free government mail delivery 1t is
gift of a generous Uncle Sam, who
| processes to be cutting corners in &C.
onomic turns Let it again be en-
| phasized that few, if any, asked for
and no one cared for this frill of ex-
| travagance, except some overzealous
postoffice inspectors and probably
anxious politicians. But we have it,
now give it a fair test. Our judg-
ment is that it will diseommode more
people than it accommodates. But
again it does have an air of delight to
see the streets and avenues lettered
and numbered at every corner and to
realize that a representative of the
great United States of America will
pay your humble domicile an official
visit two or three times each week
day.
The new system started on Monday
with two carriers-Harry C. Long
well and Harry Potts-selected under
civil service. If they keep up thefixed
schedule they viii soon become sprint
ers or require a new set of legs.
Postmaster Coffiand says the present
schedule is a try-out, and if it does
not prove available changes win be
made to conform to greater efficiency.
1t is:
Carriers leave Office at 7:45 in the
morning. Repeat the trip on ar
rival and distribution of mail from
the morning Milwaukee train. At
o'clock in the evening the last round
viii be made, the latter only in the
business section of town.
Postmaster Coffland is advised that
new ruling makes every county seat
town a central Office, where the ac-
counts of every office in the county
arekept 1t is also the auditing point
for all such, the postmaster being the
auditor 1t is also the distributing
point for stamps and office supplies.
and upon that Office and postmaster
all reauisitions are to be made. Thus
the Virouua office becomes very i'm
portant and the responsibility heaped
upon the county seat postmaster is
heavy and responsible.
It is given out, but not officially,
that there is to be a shaking up in
rural routes-a discontinuance of
routes everywhere. Vernon county
is slated for seven losses-two tothe
Viroqua office, one at Westby, one at
La Fargo, one at Hillsboro, one at De
Soto, and Coon Valley is to lose the
one she has. Inspectors have been
traversing the country over, looking
for places to drop out routes and sup
ply by combinations and extension of
milage to drivers. For instance, vi
roqua routes average about "a miles;
with two routes eliminated there woul
be % miles in order to cover the pres
ent territory. An inspector was re-
Gently here. We anticipate that his
report viii be, or should be, against a
curtailment of the service or extend
ing drivers milage.

Not ours the cause of shedding bleod
But that of saving lives.
