A arrangement at the postof1ce
was made last week in order to get
the raditor inside the enclosure. It
has been hard to heat the part where
the help spend their time, as the
radiator was in the lobby, but by
changing sides and putting the lobby
on the north side the difficulty has
been overcome and everyone is now
happy. The change also gives the
working force more room and a hand
Ter arrangement.

Mrs. Mahaffie received word from
her nephew, Harold Baker, this week,
saying that he had just resumed work
after being in a hospital for fifteen
Fdays with influenza. Mr.. Baker is
located at Nome, Alaska, and the
way that news comes from him is
very interesting. At this time of the
year everything is frozen up in that
part of the country and when he
wishes to communicate with his
friends in the states he sends wire
less message part of the way and this
is then written down and brought
by dog teams and then boat to Seat
tie and finally by train to Morris
When Mrs. Mahaf1e writes to him
the letter travels by the same route
and she can only write twenty words
at one time. The message she re-
ceived from Harold this week was the
first since last October.
