AS to fencing there is no job that
is more back brcakinS TO the farmer.
if it is done by the old haphazard
way of digging postholes. For this
reason every farmer should e steel
fence posts exclusively when fencing
They are little more costly than the
wood posts, but it will pay every
farmer to use the steel post on ac-
count of its lasting qualities Once a
steel post has been set in the ground
10 will stay for life time, while a
wood post rots off in 10 or Is years.
When placing the steel post one
simply drives along side the line of
the fence with a wagon load Of steel
posts, and by standing in the wagon
box it is an easy job to drive steel
posts in the ground. Great danger is
done every year to the cattle by
lightning. which danger is entirely
eliminated by using steel posts as the
lightning is grounded when l. hits a
fence with steel posts, and ordinary
wire, while it will run along the wire
if ordinary wood posts are used and
any cattle or horses CHANGING to e
near the wire are liable to come in
contact with it.-Farm Life.

Rush Simmons, chief inspector of
the Post Office Department, who had
been here with Mr. Hays investigat-
ing the $1,500,00O mail robbery, had
been more seriously hurt than this
report indicated. He said he saw Mr..

severely hurt.
Mr.. Hays and a number of other
passengers on the express were
brought back to New York on an in
bound train. A physician who eX-
amined the postmaster general, said
that aside from some strained mus
cles and a general shaking up he
had suffered no harm.
Describing the crash Mr.. Hays said
he was just doing o.. in his berth
when he felt shock which hurled
him to the floor. Several others in
his car we're also pitched from their
Derths, he added
At Mr.. Hays hotel it was an
nounced that the postmaster general
was resting comfortably but would
hold in allegiance plans to return to
Washington. 1t was said that Mr..
Hays would undergo an X-ray exam
ination during the day although his
injuries We're believed to be super
fetal.
The. only seriously injured person
was Mrs. Ethel Moore of Asbury
Park, who suffered from an injury at
the base of the skull. Twenty-one
other passengers on the train were
slightly injured.
After a thorough physical eXamin-
alton during which several X-ray
photographs were taken the physi-
clans attending Mr.. Hays announced
that he was in excellent condition
and could return to Washington to-
morrow. The postmaster general
spent most of the day resting.
