Our postmaster formulates the following rules for the benefit of his patrons, and that you may know wDat you may expect: No letters given out until they have been re- ceived. If you don't get 8 letter or a paper on the day you expect 1t, have the postmaster look thru all tue boxes and down the cellar also. It ought to be there some where, and he likes to hunt for 1t just to please you. If your friends don't write, rave at the post mast CT. He is to blame. If he tells you no, put on 8 grieYed look and say there ought to be some. He Is probably hiding your mail for the pleasure of having you call for it. Ask him to look again. If you are buying stamps, make him lick them and put them on; that is his business. - Corydon (Iowa) a,l' fl Il

OF WAR
Many Strange SuperStitiOns Are
 Born on Battlefield.
GOLD COINS GOOD LUCK SIGNS

To Dream of Autobus Considered Death
 Token-AppeaIs to Have Currency
 Sent to Bank of France and Keep It
 From Enemy Reduces Amount at
 Front.
 Paris.-The character of the war has allowed e number of legends and su- perstitions to be born and spread, some of which can be traced and ex- plained, while others remain obscure.
 To dream of an autObus has become a token of death. Apollinaire, the poet, has found this superstition in four different regiments and gives a story of a sergeant who succeeded in averting the omen in the case of q cor poral who said he had dreamed of an autobus. How can that be- the ser geant asked, "when you have never been to Paris or seen an autObus| The corporal described the vision. 'That an autobus!" declared the ser geant "Why, that's one of those new machines that the English are using. Don't let that worry you"
 A regiment from the south has the same belief about an automobile wagon instead of an autobus and can quote many examples of the truth of such dreams.
 Gold coins are mascot in the front lines, a superstition not difficult to eX- plain. It was at first believed that wounded men on whom some gold was found would be better looked after by those who found them, and by degrees the belief grew up, especially among artillery, that a gold coin was talis- man against being mutilated if they were taken prisoners whether wounded or not.
 ApoIlinaire knew of a certain battery which in May, 1915, had some S1,OOO in gold among it's men, thanks chiefly to their commerce in rings, paper knives and other souvenirs, made by them from cartridge cases and alumi- nun and sold to foot soldiers.
 The governments appeals to have gold sent to the Bank of France and not to let it fall into enemy hands in case Of capture have since reduced the amount of gold at the front, but many keep some coins as a charm. Many men sew coins touching one another ill such a way as to make shield over the heart.
 A story that is believed in the ranks shows how gold can attract the Ger mans. 4 sergeant made gold coin glitter in the sun and some thirsty German soldiers walked right up to the French trench, charmed by its dazzle, and were easily captured.
 "Every man has his own particular star" Lyons farm hand said to Apol- linaire, "but he must know it. 4 gold coin is the only means to put you in communication with your star, so that its protecting virtue can be exercised. have a piece of gold and so am easy in my mind I shall never be touched" As a matter of fact he was seriously wounded later.

 "In all the history of school work among the native people of Alaska there has never been a result to our knowledge so encouraging as this wears eighth grade class in the Sheldon Jackson School. These fif- ten young people come from eight different villages. We feel cer- tain that their communities are go- ing v take note of these bright, progressive young people, and we dare hope that some of the prob lens of the several villages are go- ing to be met by these young peo- pie. All are Thlinge's except Jos aUhilo Scott. It is of special inter cs' hat two of the boys are carpenters, one skilled worker in ne Ils one q machinist, and two are printers in the making.

MULE BEAT HORSE AND MOTOR
Proved Superior In Rural Mail Service
 Through Snow and Ice.

Middleboro, Mass. - A sure footed mule accustomed to many hardships proved superior to horse and motorcar in the delivery of rural mail through highways packed deep with drifts of Ice and snow. Not since the rural route hereabout was established fifteen years ago had such road conditions been re ported as a result of a March snow storm.
 Samuel GuiIford, a carrier, tried to reach the country districts in horse drawn pung. but made no progress. Later an automobile was pressed into use; but, like the horse, it failed. Then GuilfOrd hired a mule and experienced no further trouble.

Color in Lighting.

The Importance of color in lighting,
which seems to have been little con
sidered, was dwelt upon by M. Luck
iesh, in a late paper to the American
Illuminating Engineers society. The
eye is synthetic, giving color sensa-
tions from mixtures of light of differ
ent wave lengths. Colored lights may
differ in hue, depending on wave
length, in satUration and purity, due
to the presence or admiXture of white
light and in luminosity, varying with
I'M ~hsity. Color mixtures may be meas
ured from the contained primary col
ors-such as red, green and blue. The
colors near the red end of the spec
trum, especially suitable for rooms of
northern exposure, give an effect Of
warmth; colors near the violet end are
cold, adapted for rooms facing south.
Artificial daylight can be had from
suitable absorbing glass.

"DEVIL SHIPS" IN WAFARE
One More of the Ancient Methods Of
Fighting That Is Being Brought
Into Use Today.

1t was reported that devil ships"
were used in modern warfare. These
'devil ships" are another of those an
cient ways of fighting of which SO
many, like mortars and hand grefades,
have been revived in the fighting on
the continent
A devil ship" is ship that has
been filled with explosives which dis
charge either by means Of fuse, or
clockwork, or when the ship hits an.
other ship or obstacle. They were en-
plOyed as long ago as 1885 by the
Dutch, when the prince of Parma be-
sieged Antwerp. In those days they
were sent down the river to explode
against a wooden bridge built by the
defenders of Belgium's most important
city. The devil ships" used by the
Germans were exploded by means of
clockwOrk.
They mustnt be mixed up with fire
ships, also used by the German sol
diers. These ships are usually filed
with dry wood smothered in pitch, Oil,
and other inflammable material, and
when fired are sent drifting against
any defense work or ships of the
enemy.
