Girls and boys of Kenilworth are wielding the hoe and the rake for Uncle: Sam. It is not a social affair with them. They are in it for real, hard work. They are poing to work right along until crops are ripe, har- vest the produce in a businesslike way, and then hold a harvest-home celebration. Young Kenilworth has taken up gardening in earnest.

EEE EN MERE WASTE OF BREATH How old Chief Tonasket of the Okanogan Indians of Washington worked until he was literally blue in the face, trying to blow out the electric lights in a Spokane hotel, is told by the Spokane Chronicle. The aged chief suffered greatly with his eyes and under the care of an Indian agent was brought to Spo- kane in 1887 for treatment. He was "put up" at a hotel. Along in the evening he appeared in the office all out of breath and with perspiration streaming" down his aged face. Using a combination of Okanogan, Chinook and sign language, he man- aged to acquaint the clerk with his trouble. The clerk accompanied the Indian to his room and turned off the light. The telephone also proved a "goat getter" for Tonasket. Indian Agent Gwydir persuaded him to try it. An acquaintance of the chief was let in on the scheme. When the old red heard his friend's voice coming out of the wall he dropped the re- ceiver with a yell. "Hy-ue ecu-toch, kultus wa-wal!" he shouted. This translated means: "Plenty bad spirits, make plenty bad talk." JOINS U. S. MARINES Emery E. Ehlert, brother oi Chas. F.

The following communication from the Postmaster General in Washing- ton will probably be of interest to many readers of this newspaper hav- ing occasion to write to friends" or relatives in the City of London: "Heretofore it has been the general rule to include in the address of cor- respondence for delivery in the City of London, England, the initials N. W. (Northwest), W. (West), N. (North), S. W. (Southwest), S. E. (Southeast), E. (East), E. C. (East Central) or W. C. (West Central). "This department is now advised that the British Postmaster General has supplied to all householders in the City of London a list of the prin- cipal streets showing, in each case, the initials of the postal district, as indicated above, and the number of the office of delivery for each street mentioned; and that in addition to the foregoing initials indicating the section of the city, correspondence for delivery in Londcn, should, in the future, bear in the address also the number indicating the proper of- fice of delivery. Thus N. W. 1 will indicate the area served from the Northwestern District Office, while N. W. 3 the area served from Hemp- stead, etc. "It is stated, that if the correct number, as well as the district initials of the address are placed upon a letter, it can easily and accurately be sorted to the proper office, and will be expedited in delivery. It is stated also that as a rule business houses in London are now printing the number of their office of delivery in addition to the other indications, and that it is of considerable im- portance that American correspon- dents, as far as possible, place these numbers, in addition to the initials indicated above, on all mail matter destined for delivery in the City of London."
