MAILS CARRIED
FOR FIFTY YEARS
BY SAME CONCERN
Original Contract Dates Back
More than Half Century
ONE FAILURE RECORDED
Company Fined One Dollar and
Receipt among Cherished
Possessions

A change went into effect Monday
when Chester Wadsworth began
carrying the mail between the Rut'
land railroad station and the postof'
fee that terminated a business ar
rangement which had been In effect
for more than half a century.
For more than fifty years Just how
many more it Is impossible to def
nitely determine, the Henry NJ. Tut
tie company, and its predecessor, J.
H. Loring & Co., had been the med
ium through which the work had
been done.
Persons whose memories traverse
the years backward to the days i'm
mediately following the close Of the
civil war recall that the late j. II.
Lorlng was carrying the mail in the
early los. No one who has been in
terrogated appears to remember
when the first contract was made
with the railroad company.
The late Henry NJ. Tuttle became
associated VITA Mr.. Loring in 1878
and the mail contract had then been
in existence for some time. II had
continued with renewals up to Mon
day.
There have been number OF
changes in the method OF handling
the mails since the work was first un
dertaken by Mr. Loring who estab'
lshed the present extensive bust.

horse and a lumber box wagon After
the business began to assume pro

This stage was driven for nun

Gates house, for tie travelling sales

would later stop a> he postofflce for
the mail, the sacks being tossed into

In recent years the mail has been
transported IN Ford truck, as the
motor vehicle shortened the time OF
the trip, although horse and wagon
were frequently used.
Two years ago when the railroads
were returned to private ownership
the postofiice department took over
work which had previously been. re

"A recent study of children's read.

Statements relative to the business

an investment of $4,000 by the stock

ground Opening Exercises
DOLL CARRIAGE PARADE
Parade of Decorated Vehicles
Presented An Unusually
Pretty Spectacle
DOLL CARRIAGE PARADE

May day and the regular opening
Of the public playground for the sum-
mer season were celebrated Monday
afternoon with a chlldren's party
which including among its activities,
doll carriage parade, roller skat-
ing race, pushmobie race, race
on stills and a relay race between
boys Of the graded and academy
schools.
About o'clock small girls could
be seen coming from many directions
pushing doll carriages with doll in
each vehicle, in the direction of the
playground. Each was differently
decorated, some draped with flowers,
some gay with ribbons and others
with crepe paper and still others
with combinations of the three ma
terials. In most cases those who
were responsible for the fine display
had followed certain color schemes
to nicely so that nothing seemed
oyerdone.
Half an hour later each proud lit.
te doll mother had been placed and
the parade around the ball diamond
began. There were probably 30 car
riages In line, each differently at.
tired. The sights was certainly a
pretty one. The children then drew
up in sort of parade formation for
the public, which had become a
young crowd BY this time, to select
one little girl to be queen OF T. rest.
The acclamation for each car-iage
was enthusiastic but in the end the
honors simmered down to one little
girl Mildred Hebert.
A section OF the concrete highway
was blocked in for the next event. a
girls roller skating race In which
Rachel LAT anime was easily the win
me-.
Then followed the lyeliest part of
the entire program-the boys push.
mobile race. The pushmobiles were
nothing more or less than carts or
coasters as they are called. FLOYD
Flemming and Kenneth Osterle
came off the winners and Walter
Oatman and Albert Pc 10 were close
seconds. The expression on the boys
faces was worth going a long dis
tance TO see. Directly behind the
goal an automobile stood cross ways
of the road TO hold back traffic.
When the speeding carts came 10
the goal there was some wonderful
serewing OF faces and cutting OF front
wheels to avoid a collision. TIE
quick wit Of each driver prevented
any miniature catastrophe.
Robert Garfield was the only boy
present with pair OF stills so the
prize for that event was at once
awarded to him.
The last event was rather slow In
starting because it was almost i'm
possible to bring order among the
boys. Finally the race was run Of
and the Academy team had a slight
edge on the other boys. The prize:
were then given out.
Miss Marion Johnson, the Welfare
Instructor directed the events anC
was largely responsible for t:,e sue
cess Of them. Probably $50 I-rdrer
enjoyed the long excitingly happy af
lternoon.

IDEALS, TOPIC
FOR R0TARIANS
High Sounding Platftudes Not Full
filed, Rev. III. L. Moore, Lincoln,
Tells Club.

Rev. Hugh Lowry Moore, Lincoln,
Ill, who addressed the Rotary club
at their noon luncheon yesterday,
says far too many people in the
United States talk about national
ideals but do not carry them out
DR.. Moore, pastor of a Presbyter-
ian church at Lincoln, who is con-
Quoting a series Of meetings at Gen.
trail Presbyterian church, Rock Is
land, told Rotarians that three
words were spoken very glibly in
these times, ideals" brotherhood, T"
and service" which were not prac-
tical in actual life as much as they
should be.
The Turks, he said, were people
of ideals, but history records that
as a nation they have been guilty
of murder and rapine.
He told of the disappointments
experienced by immigrants who had
heard of American ideals and came
to the United States to be con-
frcnted in many instances by people
of American birth in whose lives
those ideals were not realized.
The Lincoln pastor deprecated
the statement so often made, that
the scum of Europe" is represented
by the immigrants who land on
American shores. On the contrary,
he asserted that the cream of
Europe" would be a more truthful
designation. MANY of these
people" said DR.. Moore, have a
better conception of human brother
hood than someone who pride them
selves on their descent from SOL
diers Of the American revolution"
