Up to the present time 100 free ru.al
..tail delivery routes have been estab-
l:.sied by the Post -Office Department.
tprinclpally in Western Ontario, Man-
itoba and Saaketct:ewan. There is little
de:nand for routes from either the Mar-
ltlttc provinces or Quebec. The depart-
ment establisnes routes wherever they
are applied fol• by the reasldents o:
d:strict, providing the application re" Iv-
es the approval of the divisional inspec-
tor. The people served pay for the boxed
but the salary of the carrier is paid
by the department.
A newspaper can never creditably re-
present a town whose business men do

unsupported testimony of the local
paper to convince the world ,) at rigs

market, the business centre, and the
best place on earih to buy goods: his

While you [taunt a gloomy corner cling-

After they have been defeated.
Gig all Wren are their foes.
And the praise the world is willing to
