The Wrong Spirit.
Charles M. Schwab was talk
ing about the wrong kind of
business spirit, relates the Wash
ington Star.
“This spirit is against every
body but itself,” he said. ‘‘Hence
it harms trade. It lowers condi
tions. It’s like those spiteful
women who can’t ever have any
friends.
“A lady said to a woman of
this kind:
“ ‘l’ve got such an indulgent
husband.’
” ‘Yes, so I understand,” the
other woman answered. ‘Some
times indulges a little too much,
from all accounts, hey?’ ”

Increased Rural Mail
Facilities by Uncle Sam.
The time is not distant when
we shall be asking, “Where is
the old-fashioned country mail
carrier who rode a umll-eyed pony
or drove a grandmotherly mare?”
Beginning August the first, the
Postotfice Department will in
augurate automobile service on a
number of rural delivery routes.
Trips that now take half a day
can be made in an hour or two,
and through the saving thus ef
fected the routes can be extend
ed and the quality of the accom
modations improved. This plan
when duly developed should be
especially useful in facilitating
trade between cities and farm
steads. Already the parcel post
has brought the growers and con
sumers of truck products into
closer relations: the motor de
liveries will afford new opportu
nities and inducements for this
important field of exchange.
Under the present administra
tion, the postotfice has grown con
tinually more serviceable and ef
ficient. There is not a trace of
the surly incompetence that
marked the Hitchcock regime.
The Department’s controlling
purpose, through all its branches,
is evidently to meet the public’s
needs. It is not content with
discharging ordinary duties from
day to day. Its policy is con
structive and looks ahead to new
I means of helpfulness. Particu
larly is this true of the rural free
delivery in which the country’s
educational and social progress is
so broadly concerned. That ser
vice has recently been extended
to more than ninety thousand ad
ditional families, and now it is to
be improved still further by the
introduction of automobile de
liveries.—Atlanta Journal.
