RICHLAND OFFICE
NOW THIRD CLASS
Increased Postal Receipts is In.
dex to Growth Of NeighbOr-
ing Community

Another evidence of the in
creasing prosperity of the Rich
land district comes to light this
week when Postmaster William
Relton announced that the local
postofice had been advanced
from the fourth to the third
class. This means that Richland
now has salaried postmaster
and is rated with the prosperous
towns Of the country.
It takes considerable increase
in postoffice receipts to allow OF
this change in rating and the en-
tire community may well feel de-
lighted with this evidence of the
increasing amount of business
and added population in the dis
trict which makes such a show
ing possible. The new rating be-
came effective Jan. LIST this year.
During the past year many i'm
provement have been added to
the local mail service, especially
on the rural route, which has
been extended several miles into
the Horn Rapids precinct and
about thirty additional families
are now enjoying benefits of the
rural delivery. Permission has
been obtained to use an auto on
the route thus making it possible
for the rural mail to reach the
Office in time for despatch at 8 80
p. m. the same day.
Some improvements have been
made in the city office and more
are now under consideration for
the immediate future. An effort
lis being made to secure a 2::3O de-
livery of mail during the after
noon and with the increasing sup
port it can only be a question of
time until this end will be at
tanned.
This steady increase in the
postofice business is a sure index
of the prosperity of the commun-
|ity and is most gratifying to the
boosters for the home town. And
there is no question but what
Richland has reached the lowest
point in the history Of the local
project-in fact this undoubted-
ly happened two years ago-and
from now on the Columbia river
valley will forge ahead at a rate
which will surprise some of the
knockers who have left, but who
usually come back before many
months.

In ECZEMA the skin is trying to eliminate something

STIPATION- of the most
ailments of the present day is Constipation It
is caused by subuXaton in the lumbar region of the
spine and most commonly in the lower lumbar region
which produces pressure the motor nerves leading
to the muscular walls of the large ntestines preventing
the motor impulses from reaching their destination,
hence the suggshness Of the bowels The only way to

TONSHITIS- If yc

Ii you are suffering
from an attack Of Tonsilitis the most logical
thing for you to do is to call upon your Chiro-
practor and have him adjust the cause of the
trouble. No Medical Man knows the function
of the tonsils, therefore he should not be per-
mitted to remove them. Is it net much better
to keep these much abused little organs healthy
than to deRrlyee your BODY of something that
an ALL WISE CREATOR knew was essential
to your needs: A Chiropractor can not make
HEALlNG FORCE but he can ADJUST SUB
LUXATED VERTEBRATE and let it in those
diseased tonsils. III. :~~
