Dear Julia:
John X. Farmer & Wife
Proprietors
Specialists in Diversified
Farming

Dear Julia:
Looks like it would have to be yours truly to act as
corresponding secretary, travelling representative and
purchasing agent for this concern for the next three or
four months. I'm glad we brought that old typewriter
along from MINI. Of course | am not much for speed on
it but it beats long hand and the person at the other end
always knows what | am driving at. When the grand
rush is over | intend to apply for a position as correspon-
dent for The Herald as / could pick up a lot of news items
around here without tapping over on any other scribes.
We intend to send the paper to Johns brother Horace and
my brother Art for a few months and we want them to see
our names in print occasionally and get the facts about
this years crop.
John X. is just crazy busy and its Martha you'll have
to do this or go there. Just as if I did not have my house
and chickens and canning and milk and 40 other things.
But is is all right and I'm willing to go the limit. | drove
a binder two days before Bill came out. With over 200
acres of grain to harvest and stack, 20 acres of corn to cut,
a granary to build, potatoes to dig, and change work in
%threshing with three or four %neighbors, the senior member
of this firm can't stop to count eggs or make the round of
the stores at the Point to see where we can get the best
bacon and prunes for our money or the best school out
fits for Sid and Vera. | sean all the ads in The Herald to
see what those merchants have to say. And | tell you
Julia it will be a mighty comfortable feeling to be able to
tell 'em they can have their money in 80 days and know
| am not kidding myself. We have gone light for 4 years
and must buy a lot, some place, this fall. You see John
sons and Danrick's and we are going together to thresh a
little bit of our wheat and some feed before any of us start
stacking.
We expect to start the first of next week and | want
you to come out with me next Saturday and help with the
cooking. 1t will do Bill good to see you. We kid the life
out of him about looking homesick. :.
Afectionately,

TO normal the people affected by the in
terruption of service are again seeking
what is fairly due them, and it is to be
hoped that the government will take a
fair and generous attitude to them. The
people of the West River valley were
second to none in the patriotic spirit
manifested during the time when the
government needed their unqualified
support
As the service is now conducted, with
closed pouches instead of u mail clerk
on the train to work the mail between
stations, letters mailed at the various
stations, with two or three exceptions,
has to come to Bratteboro and be sent
back to the stations to which they are
addressed. For Instance. if q letter is
mailed at South Londonderry for Ja-
maica. the next station south, it has to
come TO Brattleboro and be remailed to
Jamaica, with much consequent loss of
time The replies also have to be sub
iectcd TO the same delay. The result is
an unavoidable loss of business and an
Increase 1i the cost of doing business.
FoffSWing is the text of the petition
to the second assistant postmaster gen
cral which is being circulated in Brat
tlcboro. which is similar to those in cir
culation in other towns in the valley:
I'VE, the subscribers, respectfully rep
resent that we are sevcrally interested
in the mail service over the railroad line
from Brattleboro to South Londonderry,
Vermont, and receive our mail ut post
Offices served by and over that line.
Previous to the summer of 1917 there
was a mail clerk on this line, and the
service was satisfactory.
I'm 1917 service of such mail clerk
was discontinued, and our mail handled
in closed pouches. which has given and
now gives much ground for dssatisfac-
ton by reason of its proving inefficient.
"Brattleboro is the natural, and ac-
tual. center for the business of the West
River valley through which this line
runs.
Formerly. it was possible and usual
to send letters to the offices along the
line (ncluding that of our county scat
