THE RURAL CARRIER
A Plea to Assist the Faithful Man
Who Serves His Patrons in all
Kinds of Weather

The following verses, cleaned
from the R. F. D. News, express
the case so clearly that he who
runs may read. They were handed
The Herald by one of the local car
riers for publication:
Pm Uncle Sans most favored pet,
Pm hearty and I'm hale;
I've nothing in the world to do
But glide around with mail;
But one thing almost breaks my
heart
And my nervous system shocks,
It's the everlasting pennies
That Pm fishing from the box.
l carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and such;
And l would like to sell few,
'Twould please me very muchi
But man can't sell unless you buy
No matter how he talks,
So l have to keep on diving
After the pennies in the box.
It's all right in the springtime,
Or when summer breezes blow;
But different proposition
When it's thirty-two below.
i When all your fingers and your
toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
It's almost anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box
And now, quite confdentially,
I'll tell you something more
A rural carrier way out West
Forgot himself and swore;
Says he, 81 can stand the snow
drifts,
I can stand the frozen locks,
But blast the measly pennies
In the blasted meaSly box"
When the "roll is called up yond
en-"
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let a mail man in
If they knew he'd learned t.
| swear.
If you want St. Peter to open tn
| gate So
When the rural carrier knocks
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
Of putting pennies in the box.

Constables at Dances

Sank Centre, Mimi,
R 1 Feb. IL, 1929
Editor, Sank Centre Herald,
Dear Sir-As this is the season
of creamery meetings, etc., it ap-
pears to the writer that there is
one blot on the people in this vi
cinity which should be removed,
and that is the constable at dances.
The necessity and expense for this
may have been or is justified, but
the necessity for it continuing is
surely not. This is an insult to
the conscience of a decent people.
When a man considering himself
respectable invites his supposedly
respectable fellow citizens out for
an evening of enjoyment and it be-
comes necessary to call the police.
Would suggest that in lieu of
this no dance be allowed without
three reliable men Of the commun-
ity or town over the age of 80
signing and understanding with the
officials that they will be respon-
sible for the orderly conduct of the
affair, and that should circumstan-
ces develope that would make the
presence of a police necessary
then they call him.
Is it inopportune or should not
the apostles of cooperation en-.
deavor to organize the people in
the social units where the parents
the rightful guardians also be in.
[vited to take part in the social af.
fairs of the community so that
they can bring to and take home
the members of their families anc
also relax from their worries anc
toll. Have the people of this com.
munity not enough self respect tt
get out and join in few hours OF
relaxation and amusement without
the necessity of calling the police
Why could these cooperative
communities not have farm clubs
each member receiving a card OF
membership and admission anC
the privilege of bringing with them
any friends whom they may
choose. The club also to have &
number of red cards on hand 81
that any one member Or guest
whose behavior becomes unfit be
handed red card requesting then
to make themselves scarce unit
such time as they choose to ac
according to common decency
When the board can pass on theil
application for reinstatement.
I offer the above for your con
sideration and the readers if 20,
see fit.
Your truly,

DR.. William Watts Folwen
Veteran of State Service
President-Emeritus of the Univer-
sity Has Served Minnesota for
60 Years

Minneapolis, Feb. 12-Dr. Will
liam Watts Folwell, who began his
services to this state 60 years ago,
in 1869, as the first president of
the struggling young University of
Minnesota, will reach the age of
SO Thursday, February 18th, Val
entine's Day.
DR.. Folwell is one of Minneso-
ta's great citizens, and when his
history of Minnesota, published by
the Minnesota Historical Society, is
supplanted by some later histor-
ian's work, his name will undoubt-
edly head chapter. His services
in establishing on a firm founda-
ton the university which has done
so much for the education OF
scores of thousands, in counselling
on many weighty matters of state
! and in bringing together the most
thorough history of the state evel
compiled, place him permanently in
the ranks Of the great of Min
nesota.
For the first time in many years
DR.. Folwell will be unable this
! year to receive the birthday visits
at his home which have become &
tradition at the university and il
Minneapolis. He is recovering
from an attack of lumbago.
DR.. Folwell was president of the
university from 1869 until 1885
when DR.. Cyrus Northrop took ul
the administration and DR.. Folwel

ton until 1909, when he was plac

New York, Chicago Butter
Prices Keep High Level
Egg Quotations Are Firm-Stor-
age Supply Exhausted-Poul-
try Movement Light =

Fundamentally, the position of
the Eastern butter market seems
sound. Receipts are not excessive,
even though the total supply on
the larger Eastern markets for
last week was somewhat heavier
than week ago, but the quoted
market is generally considered as
being on a high level, and buyers
are keeping stocks closely cleaned
up, and buying only for immed-
late requirements. Weather con-
ditions have not changed material
ly throughout the Central West
and, during the next week, wealth
er will be an important factor in
general marketing situation, be-
cause of the direct effect upon milk
and butter production.
Chicago market today on 90
Score Standards is 40 cents, an
advance of three quarters of a cent
as compared with Monday week
ago. New York 90 Score Extras
are quoted at so cents.
Egg production is increasing
slightly. Storage stocks are prac-
tically exhausted. Eastern mar
kets have been firm, but highly sem
sitive because of possibilities of a
greater supply being available as
soon as weather conditions moder-
ate and become more favorable for
egg production.
Chicago market on Firsts for
last week reached the high point
on Thursday, quotation being 40
to Al cents. Market today is cas-
Ter with 38 cents, on firsts. New
York firsts are 80 to 40 cents.

Any Number of Folks
IS Who Forget Property

The lOSt-and-fOund departments
of the large stores and the rail
roads and other corporations OF
similar character are, in many
instances, expensive features to
maintain, but it seems to be more
or less necessary. One of the prin.
cipal railroad companies of this
country recently adopted the policy
Of emitting all parcel racks from
the cars because of the tendency
Of passengers to place their pack
ages in them and then go Off with,
out them. The post Office authori
ties at Washington are constantly
reminding correspondents of the ne
cessity of exercising care in
mailing, but despite this there is a
great deal of money and valuables
In their hands that cannot be de-
livered, for one reason or another.
In every large city there are pieces
of land which have become lost to
the owners. In Liverpool, England,
there Is very valuable dock for
which no owners can be found. It

Legislatures Consider Bills
to Boost Gas Tax
Several of the States are Urging
Five Cent Rate-all for
Highways

Gas tax increases are being con-
sidered in a number of states, but
so far there is not single report
indicating that any state considers
decreasing the rate or abandoning
this form of raising funds for bet
ter highways. A circular issued
by the Vermont State Chamber of
Commerce shows some of the states
where increases are being consid-
erd, as follows:
Tennessee-Th Governor re-
commends an increase from three
to five cents.
New York-The Governor urges
adoption of two cent tax. New
York has no gas tax at present.
Illinois-A gas tax is being urg-
ed to provide funds to extend the
paving program. A two cent tax
was adopted in 1927 but the act
was held invalid.
| Nebraska-A bill has been in
PRODUCED increasing the tax from
two to four cents.
Montana-The Governor recon-
mends an increase and suggests a
five cent tax. The present rate is
8 cents.
North Dakota-An increase of
one or two cents is reported pos
sible. The present tax is 2 cents.
wisconsin - Several bills are
pending, proposing increases of
one or two cents. The present tax
is 2 cents.
Colorado-The present tax is 8
cents. There is reported to be a
good prospect for a 1 cent increase
and possibility of 2 cents.
Kansas-A bill is pending to in
crease the tax from 2 to 8 cents.
Vermont-lA bill for 1 cent
increase is pending. The present
tax is cents.
North Carolina-A bill is pend
ing for a one cent increase. The
present tax is 4 cents.

with Baums mark to spur them on,

Norman Hutchinson, News
star, and Frank Money, of Eel

the best chance to surpass
Baum. Although this is a big
order, past records of this pair
show that either is capable of
smashing lots of pins in lots
of directions.
When the tourney settles to the
final issue it appears that Baum
will have plenty of opposition. w.
l.. "Chick" Darnell with 596 and
Phil Heffelfinger's 594 were next
to the defending champion in yes
terday's scoring. The latter looks
like the real dark horse" of the

are picking him to cop.
Judging from yesterdays scores.
it will take about 500 to stay in the
battle in the championship class
and about ASS to survive in the
consolation flight. Twenty eight
men remain to shoot in the cham
pionship and 3s in the consolation
