he took a can of cream to the cream

sprung the front axle. We can prove
this by Otto Henning, who saw the
accident and helped us to recover the
wheels.
LETTER TO PATRONS
OR RURAL ROUTES
The past three weeks have been
trying times for the carriers on
rural routes to make the rounds,
and they have suffered many
hardships, which the department
does not require them to do. In
some cases they have had assist
ance from the patrons, but
in many cases the patrons have
shamefully neglected to do their
duty. It is not the duty of a
mail carrier to shovel his way
through snow banks, take down
fences and go through fields, but
it is the duty of the patrons and
the road overseers to see that the
road is kept open, or opened as
soon as possible after the storm is
over.
The department cannot compel
patrons or overseers of highway
to open the roads, but it can sus
pend the mail routes to an inde
finite period, and as Postmaster of
Loup City, I shall in the future
notify the Postoffice department
with recommendations that the
route be suspended, for any rea
sonable failure to open the roads.
The cost of carrying the mails is
costing the Government enormous
sums of money, and the ..patrons,
or their overseers should take suf
ficient pains'to assist the 'Govern
ment in keeping the highways
passable. C. F. Beushausen,
Postmaster.
