RURAL CARRIER OFFERS
SOME SUGGESTIONS

Editor Independent: wish you would
print the following article from ru
raj letter carrier:
I wish to call the attention of the
patrons of rural routes running out
from Minot that in cooperating with
the carrier you may greatly increase
the efficiency of the service given. In
speaking of what follows l wish to be
understood that it applies only to the
route over which I carry mail. AS win
ter is coming on l would suggest that
you all look to your mail boxes. Less
than 20 per cent are in perfect work
ing condition. In some instances
boxes are on the ground, cover hang
ing on one hinge; some with no flags;
others no doors, or if they have one
it has a nail under one side for a
hinge, or is bent or warped so it can
not be closed. That makes it hard for
the carrier and gives poor service to
the patrons as the box will fill with
snow. Also before the ground freezes
too much, look to the approach to your
mail box. Have you got it in a suit
able place so as to be accessible to
you as we'll as to the carrier? And let
me urge you TO DuV stamps IN SuHlc-
lent quantities to stamp all your let
tiers, papers and parcels before put
ting them in the boxes for if it is cold
we have considerable difficulty explor.
ing about thru the snow in the boxes
to find the loose change you leave for
this purpose. l mention these most
common things because I want you to
cooperate with us carriers for better
service. In closing let me call your
attention to the roads. Help us break
them when possible. I take this OPP
portunity to thank those who dragged
the roads following the recent storm
Sincerely,
A RURAL CARRIER.

Former Minot Man Took 65 Mile Walk
to Answer Draft Summons.

w. M. Hagensteln, youngest broth
err of Alex d.. Hagenstein, Minot city
auditor, who used to work in the Sec
ond National Bank in this city, recent
ly made record walk to answer the
draft summons. The yonug man is
superintendent Of an oil we'll project in
Canada at present. The following
from kalispell, Mont, paper, tells
all about that walk:
w. M. Hagenstein came in last
night to answer the notice to appear
for examination under the last regis
tration, after taking what is probably
the record walk for that purpose. Mr..
Hagenstein was working for Canad-
ian company on the North Fork of the
Flathead, but on the British Columbia
side Of the boundary. His postoffice
was Kintla, % miles away, and he did
not receive his mail often. Friday
night his notice to appear before the
local board for examination reached
him, and Saturday morning he pack
ed his roll of blankets and grub for
the trip. He had no horse or other
means of conveyance and he started
on foot for Bolton, IS miles away. He
had not learned that the war was over,
and only heard it when he stopped at
a ranger station, where he was told
that he would not need to report. No
thing doing with Hagenstein. He was
not going to take chances in disobey-
ing an order from Uncle Sam and he
hit the trail again, landing in Bolton
last night in time to catch the train
to Kalispell. He was about all in
when he tumbled into bed at the Kali
ispell hotel last night and was too
tired to sleep but says he will make
up for that as soon as his muscles quit
aching.

4 wounded American soldier lad. She
says that the nurses for some time
were so busy that they did not get suf-
ficient sleep and they were mighty
glad for assistance.
Mrs. Dahl landed in France May %
and left France about a month ago.
While she left before the armistice
was declared, she said that our boys
were all making plans to be home for
Christmas, for they realized that the
Huns were nearly at the end of their
row. The boys would sing eve are
going to finish it today. and Mrs.

reasons why they fought so ferocious-
w. Was w 6Ct CAC 5 AAAAA OooAAASSS WV
before Christmas.
"The French women have been reg
ular mothers to our boys, and can't
say too much for them," she declared.
"Often l have seen French mothers
stop American soldiers on the streets,
throw their arms about them and kiss
them, even as they would their own
sons, who perhaps had been killed in
the war. Mothers would make pies
for our soldier boys, initiating the
American made pies to the best OF
girls out onto the streets with them
to give to our soldiers as they passed
by. The boys would accept them gra-
ciously and they appreciated them
even if there was less SUGAR in them
than in the pies that mother used to
bake"
Mrs. Dahl promised many of the
boys that she would send them fruit
cake for Christmas and she is now
