much to be deplored that a more loyal

CALLED HOME
Death has claimed another pioneer
of JJokota county in the demise of
Mark Fair, who passed away at the
home of his daughter, Mrs Kate Wat-
rous, in Portland, Ore, last buuday
morning, where be had been making
his homo since last spring, lie had
been iu his usual good health up to
the time of his death, when Suuday
morniug ho was found dead in bed,
having expired sometime duiiug the
night. Hu was in his 88th year, and
had shown remarkable vitality tor a
man of his advanced age.
Deceased came to Dakota county
with his family in 186f, and resided
on the home farm now owned and oc
cupied by 3 A Heikes until about fifteen
years ago, when he gave up farming
and built a comfortable residence iu
town. His wife preceded him to that
other world in March, IHU.J, since
which time he has made his home
with his children.
Mr Fair was a man well liked by all
who had dealings with him, being
honest and upright in all bis transact
ions, and wbs a kind and indulgent
husband and father. Seven children
survive him two sons, Porter, of
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Harvey, of
Omaha.and five daughters, Mrs Hate
Watrous, of Portland, Ore; Mrs Julia
Breisler, of Wayne; Mrs Helen Han
sen, of Wakefield; Mrs IJ B Gribble
and Miss Gertrude l air, of Hubbard

A Hint to Rural Route Patrons.
The following letter was received by
Postmaster John H Ream, accompa
nied by a request to havo it published.
December 10, 1909
The Postmaster,
Sir: From a recent count made by
rural carriers in one of the counties in
'.the State of New York of coius depos
ited by patrons in their boxes for the
purchase of stamp supplies, it was
found that each carrier in the county
was collecting an average of 115 one-
cent coins each week. This average
pplied to all the routes in operatiou
throughout the country would give the
enormous total of about 3Ul,UUU,UUU
one-ceut coius.
As moBtoi these coins are deposited
loose iu boxes, it is desirable that you
nd the rural carriers, in a tactful and
polite way, put forth your best efforts
to induce patrons to provide themselves
with stamp supplies in advance of their
eeds, and to ciiuip their boxes with
suitable coin-holding receptacles. It
should be explained to patrons that
the picking of loose coins
from boxes uot only results in need
less hardship and suffering' to
carriers in winter weather, delays the
delivery and the ' collection of the
mails, but frequently results in actual
money loss to the carriers, for if, in
collecting coins from the boxes, they
drop them into the snow or on the
ground without recovery, they are re
quired to replace the amount out of
their funds.
Respectfully, '
P V DeGraw
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.
