Within the next few (days Postmaster General Hitchcock will beg-in the es­ tablishment of experimental carrier delivery in the smaller cities, towns Mid Tillages of the country, the patrons of which now must go to the postoffice to get their mail. The postmaster general announced that inauguration of this new service is imminent. No more than #1.800 can be spent in any town. Congress appropriated $100,000 to e^periment^^ith carrier delivery at postoffices of the second and third classes, which do not now have it. Of the 473 postoffices of the first, second ana third classes in Illinois, 163 have carrier service and 370 have not. It is believed delivery service can be established at small expense in many communities. The postmaster general argued the matter,,before congress. He said 45,- 000,000 residents of urban centers now enjoy free delivery of the mails thru 2,541 first and second class offices, while the 42,000 rural ..carriers serve 20,000,- 000 people living on the routes. This leaves between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 without delivery service. It was to fill this gap that Mr. Hitchcock recom­ mended an appropriation for experi­ mental delivery in small communities.

A COMPLIMENT^ The Woodstock Republican of last week handed one of our young ladies the following compliment: "The pupils of Queen Anne school gave a very delightful entertainment and basket social at the school last Friday evening, the attendance being so large that maily were compelled to stand. » "The scnool room had been very tastefully decorated with various col­ ored decorations, jack-o'-lantems add­ ing to the weird effects of the hob­ goblins. "Each and every pupil did his or her part on the program exceptionally well and were accorded the applause which their efforts merited. "Too much praise cannot be accord­ ed the teacher of this school, Miss Kathryn Knox, for the excellent en­ tertainment afforded. The pupils were exceptionally well drilled in the re­ spective numbers on the program, not one of them having to be prompted. And this leads us to believe that if such careful instruction is given to the minor details, the more important ones--the studies--must be well im parted and well learned. "About $67 was raised from the sale of the baskets, the teacher's cake bringing 120."
