Lodru C. Wtlllts, the farmer in whose namo tho trade-mark was issued, is a broedor'of purebred hogs, cattle, and sheep. Tho name of the farm as. trade-marked Is "Hawkoyo." To, tho knowledge of livo stock men In tho United States Department of Ag riculture, Mr. Wlllits Is the first stockman, and probably tho first, farmer, to obtain a United States trade-mark for his farm. Thoro is nothing In the law to prevent it, but apparently no ono thought of it before. If a farmer uses his farm namo and trade-mark as part of his selling operation in disposing of what ho produces, tho trade-mark protects tho owner of the farm In its uso In Interstate commerce. Several states have laws which authorize tho registration of farm names with tho Stato authorities, but a trade-mark registered by tho Government protects tho uso of tho farm namo outside of tho State In which tho farm is located. 13. A. Olson has presented this of fico with a fine largo photograph of tho Lincoln County exlvlbit at tho State Fair. It is a correct view of tho exhibit which won second place in the irrigated section.

On account of tho largo numbor ot cases to ho con sidered nnd tho fact that they woro duo at unothor station on Monday, tho mombors of tho party could not spend as much tlmo listening to long and detailed explanations ns thoy would liked to havo spoilt and so somo of tho boys got tho Improssion that their casos woro not givon tho attention do Borvcd, The wheels ot government movo slowly nnd It will tako a llttlo moro natlenco boforo tho final action will bo known, r In studying tho postal aorvico ot North Platto,' Postmaster Sturgls found that ho muBt havo moro carriers or ho would not bo nolo to mako two comploto deliveries. Moro carriers cost monoy and tho officials wore loth to allow additional salarlos. It seems that a currlor wont out with his sack full ot mall and only covorcd half of his route. Ho could only carry half of tho mall ho had to dollvor and when ho had unloaded his sack ho was only In tho outskirts of the city. It was thon necessary for him to walk back to tho post office nnd get his second load and walk back to tho placo whoro ho had left off, Tho tlmo and work re quired for these long trips kopt tho carrlors from covering tho whole routo twlco within tho working .lay. Wo'Tom'irthlscciridJtlD'nr Postaiaster Sturgls has Installed n metal packagU box at tho far end of each route. When tho carrlors mako up tho mall for their routes, they put It in two hags. One hag contains tho mall for tho out going trip and tho othor contains the mull for tho incoming trip. Tho carrier starts with tho outgoing hag. Tho parcol post cnrrlor loads tho Incom ing bags Into his auto, Uikos them to tho metal boxos at tho -far end. of tho different routos and puts then In thoro undor look. "VVhon tho carrier gets thoro ho tnko out tho 'incoming mall and contlnuos on his return trip to Yho post offico, distributing ns he goes. And so ovoryono gots two de llvorlos a day and no moro carriers are roquirod. : :o: : !
