While all other regulations restrict
ing the activities of rural carriers in
purely political measures are strictly
in force, Acting Second Assistant J.
« Cole, in his address before the
uional convention in Washington,
mile it perfectly clear that no car-
^ need fear being “led to the wood

proper endeavors to secure improve
ments upon his roads. Such is no
longer viewed by the department as
political meddling, ibut rather as
a civic privilege and a civic respon
sibility. We should, however, exercise
discretion, tact, and diplomacy, there
by securing all the benefits possible
an amicaible way.
Reserve Funds
C. D. Allis, writing in the Ala
bama Rural Letter Carrier column of
the Birmingham News, says
Most rural carriers that are mem
bers of the association will 'be won
dering what effect on the finances
the 50c raise in dues has had. The
report of the auditors showed that
roughly the treasury is $14,000 bet
ter off than one year ago. At one
time the association had a balance in
the treasury of more than $20,000
but it had to be used during Mr.
Armstrong’s administration, and more
riers may rest assured that such
time will 1 come.”
“Two of the surest ways to con
serve such reserve fund would be to
stand unalterably opposed to enlarg

delegates, and to cease voting con-
venti-ns to regions of the country so
far removed from the center of rural
carrier population.”

EVOLUTION OF POSTAL SYSTEM
(iBy Nace -Grant, Alto, Ga)
The germ of the modem postal
systems in the world, obviously, is to
be looked for in the earliest organiz
ed establishment of a staff of Gov-
ernmane couriers. When or under
what precise circumstances such an
establihment was first made avail
able by a state for the carriage of
the letters of private -persons there is
no satisfactory evidence to show.
That there must have -been, even in
early times, a connection, more or
less authorized, between- the trans
mission of public and of private cor
respondence is highly probable.
The noun as used in post office is
derived from the IL-atin pesitus,
which means “placed.” The deriva
tion is logical because in the -begin
ning horses were placed at certain
intervals to transport letters or trav
ellers. In this connection posts are
mentioned in several places in the
Old Testament as in 2 Chronicles,
Esther, Jolb, add Jeremiah. Xenophon
says that Cyrus the Elder of Persia
caused couriers to stand ready with
saddled horses at stations through
out the empire, one ay's journey
from each other, to receive reports
from the provinces without delay.
Credit for establishing the first
postal service for use of private citi
zens is given to the Emperor Diocle
tian in the third century, A.D. Later

Every person who enters the poultry business has one object in
mind—TO MAKE MONEY. Of course, it is a fascinating game, and
most people like to grow poultry, but making money from the flock
is the first consideration.
At this season of the year, your hens should be in top produc
tion, laying from 60 to 86 per cent, and if they are not doing this,
there is a reason. Look for it.
lOU'LfljING. Go through your flock slowly and watch for hens
with yellow shanks, ear lobes and beaks. If the hen is eight months
old, she should have laid out most of the pigment and the shanks,
car lobes and beaks should be white, or turning white. -Pick up and
exmine every hen with yellow legs, etc. and see if she is heavy and
well developed. Sell off all hens not producing.
PARASITES: If your hens are not laying a good percentage,
examine them carefully for fleas, body lice, depluming mites, and
red -mites. The mite feeds on the hen at night and hides in' the
cracks on the roost poles, and in the house during the day. If the
hen is infested with -body lice, dust with Sodium Fluoride, or treat
with Nicotine Sulphate (black Leaf 40), or paint roost poles with
Black Leaf 40. To get rid of mites use old motor oil and a little
kerosene, mopping or spraying in all cracks, etc.
VENTILATION: Proper ventilation in the laying house is very
important at this season of the year. Close all ventilators except the
southern exposure and see that there is no draught in the house.
This will prevent colds, roup, tracheaitis, and other bronchial trou
bles, ayn one of which will stop production in the flock.
Feed only the producing hen from, this time on; get rid of the
“,boarders” and thereby increase your net profits.
COmFlETE POULTRY SERVICE

business is a market for your chickens and eggs-
