MEET HIM HALF WAY

A good friend and steady reader
living on rural route out of Jules
burg was in the office few days ago
and he left good thought with US,
one worth passing on. He declares
that too many patrons along rural
routes are easily peeved into critic
ising their mail carrier when he makes
a little mistake, like carrying a
piece of mail by. and that instead of
remembering that his is difficult
task, one keeping him out in all kinds
of weather, they heap blame upon him
and make his job most unpleasant
one. "Tell your rural route readers
not to bawl the carrier out or write a
hot letter to the postmaster or the
department at washington" said our
friend. The best thing is to have a
friendly fooling for the man who is
trying to serve you promptly and
who tries hard to avoid
and who is sorry when he
makes one. Meet the rural carrier
halfway on his job, for it's a hard
job, even if he does get paid for it.
That's the advice of our friend,
and we believe readers along our rural
routes will agree that it is pretty
sensible.

THE POWER OF ADVERTISING
EXEMPLIFIED

Located on the principle business
street Of prosperous western city is
a large meat market with a modern
refrigerated display window. Direct
ly across the street is a gents fur
nishing store which also maintains
elaborate show windows. As novel
means of advertising, the proprietors
of these two establishments traded
display windows-as it were-for one
week. The choicest cuts of meats,
link sausages and dressed porkers
graced the windows Of the haberdash-
cry, while the latest styles in shirts,
ties, hats. etc, adorned the display
window of the meat market.
The window dressings were of the
highest class, and the real interior of
each store was so concealed from the
street that folks attracted by the dis
plays entered the clothing store to
buy meat and strutted into the meat
market to purchase hat or tie, and
needless to say they made a purchase
Of some kind when they realized how
nicely they had been fooled by the
windows and the joke was on them
People familiar with the street
thought they were seeing things, and
one old-timer remarked if that was
the way hootch acted he was going
to cut it out.

OVERPAID

Figures compiled for the joint con.
gressional committee Of agricultural
inquiry develop the following inter
esting facts concerning wages paid
in various occupations in this country
during the year 1918. These figures
are said to be pretty nearly correct
for average present-day wages, az
1918 marked period before the
peak of high wage levels, and wage
reductions since the abnormal times
are supposed to equalize wages paid
in that year.
According to the report the aver
age yearly wage of all workers was
81 1904. Employees of water trans
portatioD companies received an aver
age of 81 ,532; bank employees, 81 ,46l
factory workers, sl,l47; miners
81 ,2SO; railroad men, $l,394; govern
ment employees 1895; street railway
telegraph and telephone employees
$s78; farm hands with board ant
lodgings received an average o.
$3.50.
1t would appear by these figure:
that, taking the increased cost of liv
| ing into consideration, the average
wage Garner is not being overpald.

GIVING A CITY CHARM

People travel across the stormy At
lantic and spend a great deal Of mon
ey on European tours. Why? Large
ly because the old world cities are
said to have a certain romantic and
imaginative charm.
Yet this so called charm often lies
in some very simple feature that any
city could acquire. A recent writer
in The American City on Paris, for in
stance. thinks that the fundamental
element in the charm attaching to
that beautiful city is in its trees,
which are preserved with the great
est care. even in the business sections.
Amy American city, big or little, can
get equally good results in that re-
spect in time, by studying tree cul-
ture for its streets, planting those
best fitted to do well under the soil
and climatic conditions, and preserv-
ing them from pests. Our people do
not need to cross the seas to find
charm. They can develop it in their
home town.

Editorial
THEY'RE OVERLOOKING US

We are deeply peeved over the fact
that so far we have not seen this
column listed in any of the many Sc
lections made in the "ten desert-island
books" question. Wonder how those
birds" expect to get anywhere on a
desert island without the home town
paper, even if they did have the Bible,
a Sears Roebuck catalog. Shakes
peare's and other classical literature !?
And yet we haven't noticed the home
paper listed, but it would be the first
thing they would miss and want most
if they were really cast upon a des-
ert island to remain the rest of their
life. The terrors of death would be
entirely removed if it were possible
to receive the weekly visits Of the
home paper on the other side of the
dark river, though our knowledge of
the thoughtlessness of subscribers
leads US to guess that nine-tenths of
those departing would neglect to sub
scribe or tell the editor their future
post office address.
