when new additions now under

25 YEARS MAIL CARRIER
SYSTEM IN WATERVILLE

A quarter Of a century has passed
away since the mail carrier system
was introduced into the WaterVille
postotfice. under the regime of Post
master Willard NJ. Dunn. The four
carriers who started on their routes 20
years ago today We're Il. +. Goodwin,
F. +. Grieves. Charles II. Butler and
Frank Lapham. Two OF these are liv-
ing in the city today, but none Of them
are still in the service. The last of the
quartet to leave was Mr.. Goodwin. who
resigned during the summer Of 1916.
The four men covered the town at
that time, but the growth of the city
has been such that there are nine car
rierS now needed to do the work. In
1905 the upper part of Winslow was
taken into the carrier system, which
added greatly TO the work and the car
riers had been increased in number TO
six q that time.
]. u. Jordan is at present the senior
carrier. the others being George HOxie,
Herbert NJ. Fuller, Clarence morrill,.
Hugh : Page, Irwin f.. Thomas, Sell

hope TO every heart IN France, but as
1t grows there must be period when
we shall be taxed to suppl it. While
its numbers slowly increase you Amer
leans who are a great industrial peo-
pie must see that this war is an in
dustry of destruction. You will I'M
derstand how urgent it is to send US
guns, middle-heavies, and shells, in or
der that we may he armed to win vic
tories and to defend ourselves 50 that
some of US may be alive to fight BY

The 1t; Ian army" Mr. Mccormick
continued, had something less than
one quarter as many guns as the Brit
ish and French armies combined, al
though there was no great difference
in the length of the fronts. In Italy
they have suffered from a shortage of
ammunition.
May Lose War Without Guns
The middle heavy is to this war
what the steam shovel was to Panama
If we make guns enough and trans
port them to Europe before the spring
OF 1919 we ought to win this war with :
out terrible losses. Without the guns
we shall lose the men and maybe lose
the war
We must bhild for ourselves and the
allies 25.00o cannon. That is the best
estimate of the best military opinion
in Europe. But apparently we shall
have produced practically no guns
within a year after our declaration
Of war.
1t seems evident enough that we
must create department OF MUM
tions just as the French and the Eng
lish have done. The problem Of gun
and munition making is so big that
even the ablest industrial executive in
America will find he is taxed to the
ultimate in directing their production
Time is the essence Of victory and
cannon are the weapons nv which il
must be won. We must make gums
enough in time to Win"
