FREE DELIVERY IS PROMISED FARMERS (Continued frors Fage 1.) carriers. They reduced the number of routes from nine to five, and serv- ed eight more families than before the revision. Incidentally we saved more than $4,000, which was ap- plied to the establishment of service elsewhere. Some Postmasters Delay Progress. “Often we have found that fourth class postmasters, whose offices were in danger of being abolished, have kept people from applying for rural service. These postmasters were afraid of losing their few dollars of income obtained from the sale of stamps and stamped paper. ““We want to get around these peo- ple, and therefore I want everybody who believes he should have rural mail service to write me. I'll see that he gets its, if it’s possible to give it to him. If it’s found impossible, I will tell him why. Service Given to 1,000,000 More. “So far in this administration we have saved $2,000,000 by reorganiz- ing routes, and this money has been applied to the establishment of new routes that gave postal facilities to 1,000,000 more people than were served before the change. In some states we have reorganized the ser- vice completely. In others, like Min- nesota, we have only just begun. “As fast as a reorganization is completed in a state it will be gone over again for the purpose of seeing that every citizen in the state has adequate postal facilities. We pro- pose to spend the people’s money in this service for the benefit of the people and not for the purpose of serving the ends of the politicians. Defies Politicians. “No dismissed rural carrier and no fourth-class postmaster who has had his revenue interfered with is going to make any difference to me. The politicians may go after me if they want to. They may get me at that. But I have set a pace here that will not be cut out by the politicians no matter what happens to me. Onece the people know what the depart- ment is striving for political inter- ference will cut a small figure in the business. “I know any private business run as this department has been run in the past would peter out in no time. I have found as high as $35,000 a year being spent unnecessarily on the routes of a single county. I rear- ranged the routes, giving service to all the people, thus reaching some who never had had any mail facili- ties, and took that $35,000 to open new routes in other territories. This was in Pennsylvania. I have been doing the same thing all over Mich- igan. > Big Saving in One County. “In Fanning county, Texas, 43 families were required to move their letter boxes a short distance, 16 fam- ilies were added to the service and the cost of operation reduced $8,420, which has been used to install 13 tri-weekly routes, affording delivery to 6,500 new patrons. That is the story all over the country and of course, I am not going to apologize for it. “When I came to this office three years ago there were 3,000 petitions from people in this country asking for routes. Some of them had been Masquerade at ROLLER RINK Friday Evening, Nov. 19 . This is not an invitation affair, but all attending will be asked to lift masks at door upon entering. in the department seven years. To- day there are 139. We are up with the work and pushing it all the time. That is what we believe we are here for. We do not ask for petitions now. All we want to know is’ that there is a number of people in any community without mail facilities. Then we deem it our work to see that they are relieved. Congressman’s Complaint Met. “A congressman came here and said: ‘There is difficulty existing at two towns in this county (indicating the place on the map.) This town is of just the same importance as that one; if you.take the service away from this town and put it in a moter vehicle route in the other town, I will be In serfous trouble.’ I said, ‘Congressman, let us go over thlt." We did so, and found localities on the map for five additional routes in that congressional district, and in one county in the district, where there had been mno service of any kind, a motor vehicle route will go into operation this fall. e “Now, do you think the congress- man‘s trouble about these two towns ‘ought to outweigh the benefit which it developed we could give so many people in that district? Some peo- ple can’t.have everything and others ‘nothing at all. This department means that all shall have a fair share.” “MI8" GRAND THEATER TONIGHT Mary Plckf Tthe celebrated screen star of the Famous ‘Players Film company, adds appreciably ‘to her stellar honors in the role of “‘Mistress Nell,”, her latest charac- terization in a five-part feature adap- tion of the renewed domantic drama by George C. Hagelton, Jr. This feature will-be shown at the Grand theater tonight. “Mistress Nell” is considered the - greatest heroine of ‘historic and-romantic drama, and as personified by Mary: Pickford is a character of ‘delighttul femininity combined with'the dramatic force in- erent in all the work of this gifted star. The play s laid in the times of King Charles II, of Englan is dominated by the heroism and gal- lantry that ‘marked that - brilliant period. Yet in all the realm, and of all the many brave and ‘bold caval- lers and knights, none surpases, in daring and loyalty, Mistress Nell her- sélf. How she saves the king first from ‘the machinations of his poli- tical enemies, and later his life itself, and how she ultimately ~ wins his heart and love, are picturesquely, dramatically, and often tensely, de- picted. The.scene in which she overhears the plot againist the king's life, and is simultaneously terrified, enraged and. ennobled to make the utmost sacrifice to save her sover- eign’s life, present Mary Pickford at her inimitable best. All who know how skillfully she can interpret two or more distinct emotions at the same time will appreciate the true charm of this scene and its unusual dram- atic appeal. The subject is beauti- fully costumed and the settings faith- fully illustrate the imposing environ- ment of the period. In the cast sup- porting Mary Pickford are Owen You can get a big, fat pencil tab- let for a nickle at the Pioneer office, and an extra big, fat ink paper com- position book for a dime.
