A day of mist and rain and driving

like a schoolmaster with a university
education. He explained how he had
come round that way and expected to
carry back letters ready for the post.
A rush was made and what could be
put together was intrusted to him.
"What about tomorrow" was the
question asked by those unacquainted
with the ways of the rural post.

smile gathered on the postman's face.

Anent Railway Rates. (.

1t Is Idle to talk of lowering freight
rates until railway wages have been re-
duced, new working rules are promul-
gated and traffic improved. according to
many railroad executives. Even then
they assert that no horizontal reduction
in rates will he warranted until the
roads have shown definite signs Of their
ability to earn per cent. on their prop
erty Investment. Rail officials generally
deprecate the notion that any substan-
tial amount of traffic Is being los.
through high rates. In some cases. they
say. 1t will be shown that movement OF
a commodity is being restricted on thar
account, and establishment of preferen-
