MAIL MESSEN Err RESIGNS.
Milton RabenhOrsS Wants Another
Man Appointed.

Milton Rabenhorst, who has been
carrying the u S. mails between the
depots and the pestoffice several
weeks, has rendered his resignation
to the department and it will now be
necessary to appoint another man to
the position. Bids will probably be
asked for the work Mr. Rabenhorst
was receiving $1,000 year for the
work His time will expire July 81.
It has always seemed strange to us
that the postoffce department does
not hire men for this work the same as
they do on the rural routes and in
the city delivery department.

chiTdren,s Gardens in Russia.

OnS of the characteristic features of Russian life is the mutual helpful ness in all classes of society. This has been strongly brought to light since the beginning of, the war by the numerous voluntary undertakings for the care of peasant children. With so many fathers at the front and with mothers compelled to do the field work, the children have been in need of care. Patriotic women throughout the empire have taken this obliGa- tion. upon themselves.
 Last summer teacher in the small village of Krasnow, realizing the need of supervision of her pupils during the summer, went to the district gem stvo council of Jaroslaw and asked for funds to organize q Childrenss Gar den She was given the sum of no roubles Approximately $35, ,000), with the statement that she could expend the money as she desires, but that 0 detailed accounting must be given She organized modelling and drawing classes in connection with the telling of folk stories. and the children wax ed enthusiastic The mothers, at first hostile, were won over at the exhibit children, and by that time they had realized what a boon it had been to them to have their children cared for during the long days of harvest So succession was the experiment that the zemstvo appropriated 800 roubIes for the establishment of similar Chil- dren's Gardens in twenty villages in 1917. The movement has attracted widespread attention and other gem stvos are considering similar action. Russian Translation Service.
