The will to succeed is the first
requisite of a successful marriage.
1t is more necessary here than in
any other partnership entered
into by men and women.
If psychology plays any part at
all in our behavior, then the
lurking, almost unconscious idea
carried these days in the minds
of all brides and grooms-the idea
Of divorce if they can't hit it off
together-muSt be a contributing
factor in many broken marriages.
Because marriage is a battle
in other than the wise cracking
SenSe-and the first enemy to be
conquered is yourself. 1t is, for
years, a perpetual fight against
your own self1ShneSs, emotionaliSm
and habits. To adjust oneself to
intimate living with another be-
ing can never be an easy matter
but it can. by and by, be an &C
compliShed fact.
And certainly it is true that
thought and sanity are used less
in our marriages than any where
else, although their absence is
pronounced in most of our rela-
tionshipS. The only way TO keep
romance alive in your marriage is
to be unromantic in your APP
preach n its problems.

old newspaper clipping which
gives added information about
early postal history. 1t quotes
from reminiscent address given
by Nathaniel Bolton who assisted
in starting the first Indianapolis
Newspaper, in January, 1882. Mr..
Bolton said in part:
THE Gazette was established in
a Buckeye log cabin of but one
room, part of which was occupied
as a family residence. 1t was
printed on new type and the ink
was put on with balls made of
dressed deer skin stuffed with
wool. The balls were kept soft by
the application of raccoon oil.
There was no poStoffice nearer
than Connersville, a distance of
sixty miles, but a private mail
was established and a person en-
ployed to go to Connersville every
four weeks to bring letters and
newspapers. In February, 1923,
the Presidents message, delivered
in December, 1922, came to hand
and was published in the two or
three succeeding numbers of The
Gazette. During the year 1922, a
United States mail was established
and in short time we had our
mail from the east every two
weeks unless detained by high
water.
In 1923, having received a con-
tract from the postmaster general,
I proceeded with the first mail
north of Indianapolis to the then
recently deserted Indian village
of Andersontown. A postoff1ce on
route was established at the home
of William Conner, four miles
south of NobleSville. There was
another postoffice at Strawtown,
a prairie of considerable magni-
tude, where many remains of the
Indian villages that had been To-
Gated there were still standing"
Mr.. Bolton continued with a de-
Scription of the advancement of
civilization along his route and
with a recital of his varied ex-
periences. We would enjoy read
ing also the recollectionS Of other
postriders such as "Old Madcap,"
who carried the mail to Madison,
or Lewis Jones, who made the first
trip under government contract
from Centerville to Indianapolis,
and whose picture and saddlebags
are preserved at the Indian
apolis poStofhce.
These gallant spirits were beset
with many dangers as they trav-
eled through the wilderness de-
scribed by Mr. Bolton as Natures
forest only broken by the occa-
sional cabins and small patches of
cleared land of the early settlers. -
Nevertheless, the mail went
through.
While laying the foundation Of
Indiana's present postal system,
the courageous poStriders added
romantic chapter to the states
history and the Samples letters
they carried are priced highly by
phllateliStS today.

Times Hobby Editor

THE speed and efficiency of
- our modern postal service
has become a necessary part of
our business and social life. 1t
is a factor which we take for
granted and seldom analyze from
the standpoint of growth and
progress. Recently, however, two
items have come to my attention
which picture wildly the contrast
between the early postal condi-
tionS in Indiana and today'S vast
and vital system of communica-
ton.
On March II, 1884, just 100
years to the day after its first
journey through the mail, a
stamplesS cover was sent to me
by H. Edgar French, New
castle. 1t is an official docu-
ment commissioning Lot Gard, a
justice of the peace for the county
of Union for and during the term
of five years from the date here
Of, should be so long behave we'll"
The lower half of the page shows
the state seal and the signature
of James Brown, acting Governor,
and Secretary William w. Wick.
The commission is printed on
the inside section of a double
sheet of paper, approximately
8X10 inches, and when sent to
James Lewiston. clerk of Union
county, Liberty, ind, the paper
was folded so that the first sheet
incloSed the second as a cover in
lieu of an envelope. 1t was then
sealed with red wax and, we pre-
sumo, was given into the care of
Postmaster Samuel Henderson at
his Washington Hall tavern. on
the corner of Washington street
and Kentucky avenue. After it
was stamped with the name of
the town, indianapolis, and the
date, March II. 1925, it was placed
in the Saddlebags of a postrider
and carried over the trail to
Brookville.
The old cover carried no postage
stamp as none were used until
1847. The postage, u cents, was
paid by the recipient as was the
custom, although often letters re-
manned in the postoffice because
of the scarcity of cash with which
to redeem them. In the first In
dianapoliS newspapers, The Ga
zette and The Journal, long lists
of unclaimed letters were printed,
and in the Journal on Nov. IA,
1926, Postmaster Henderson noti-
fed the public, persons expecting
letters must bring postage. No
trust can be given. Newspaper
postage must be paid at the COM
mencement of the quarter"
Newspaper items tell also of the
difficulties encountered in postal
delivery. IN 1925 the Journal
states, In consequence of the non
arrival of the mail occasioned by
high water, no paper will be is
sued. Subscribers have protested
that their newspapers have been
delayed because the postmasters
kept them to read. We suggest
that the government appoint a
postoffice Inspector"
