Altho friends of the measure
declare they will make an effort
to have it brought up for another
vote before the end of the ses-
sion, those who had their long
green strung on the sport are
confident the respite will give the
game a chance to recuperate suf-
flciently to come back strong and
score "A decisive triumph. AS a
matter OF fact, the failure of the

MALVERN GETS FREE
 MAIL DELIVERY
POSTMASTER MANN DIRECTED BY DEPARTMENT AT WASH INGTON TO INAUGURATE FREE MAIL SERVICE IN MALVERN ON JUNE 1, 1917.

ON JUNE 1. 1917.
 It has been announced by Post master Claude Mann that as a result of a recent investigation of condi- tion here by Postoffice Inspector Ira Ross, he has received instructions from the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General at Washington to inaugurate free village delivery service in Mall vern on June 1.
 Two carriers will be employed to deliver the mail, and two deliveries will be made each day. The carriers will be chosen under competitive civil service examination, and the examina- tion will be called at an early date. It will be necessary for each patron to provide private mail receptacle, which may be either slot cut in the front door or suitable box selected by the patron. The desirability of this requirement. is apparent, as it enables the carrier to deliver mail at all times, even when no one is at home, and makes it unnecessary for anyone to answer the calls of the carrier, and aids in the rendition of expeditions service. Business houses, however, will not be required to pro- vide these receptacles.
 Nine United States collection boxes will be established at points on the two delivery routes, and the mails will be collected twice day and brought to the postofiee for dispatch.
 All "drop letters" will require g. cent postage where they are to be de- livered by carrier. This will, tossome extent, offset the loss of revenue in local postoffice receipts which will be occasioned by some of the patrons re- linquishing their boxes.
 Most of the box holders, however, will retain their boxes in order that they may get service on Sundays and holidays.
 Postmaster Mann, Assistant Post master Lon Hardin, Clerks Ray Boyle and Carl Benson will gladly give ad- ditional information regarding the service and the examination to fill the positions of carriers.
 The people of Malvern owe dept of gratitude to Congressman Sam M. Taylor, who has faithfully worked for the establishment of the free delivery for Malvern. It was largely through his efforts that it has been secured. The following letter from Fourth As sistant Postmaster General Jas. s. Blakely to Congressman Taylor is self explanatory:
 April II, l9l7 "Hon. Samuel M. Taylor,
 House of Representatives.
  My Dear Mir. Taylor:
 i "Supplementing the communication from this office of February 5, last, l take pleasure in informing you that an order has been issued for the es- tablishment of village delivery service at Malvern, Arkansas, effective June 1, 1917, with two carriers.
 Tt is hoped that this action will prove satisfactory, and that much more desirable mail facilities will be afforded the residents of the town.
 Sincerely yours,
 "JAS. s. BLAKELY, Fourth Asst Postmaster General. 7

Must Stop Waste.

The government expects people in the cities to stop the waste of food and the people iii the country to raise more. The task of getting young men and boys not needed in the army or in industries for farm work will be un- iertaken.
