T>ie complaint* from patrons of tiie rural routes are uniformly oa*a-i upon -weeping reductions in the service. Tne conditions causing these < mplaints are due to the failure of tiie post office appropriation o.ll and tiie consequent necessity f.*r managing the {to'&al service .!. ler a re-enactment of last year’s aoorounaiion. Tlie principal changes ordered by tiie department reducing the carrier force arise, first, b.v the proposed consolidation of about l.>*o routes 25 miles long into half that number 5»i miles long; second, in lengthening the stand ard routes and still furtlier reduc ing tl»e carrier force: third, by making one carrier serve two routes on alternate days, and drop ping the extra carrier.

It was a common article of food half a century ago but the children of to-day scarcely 1 "know it even by name. But the Kuro|«ean war has suddenly created a large demand for it for use in making denatured alcohol, which, in turn, is used in making smoke less powder. A fifty per cent in i crease in tbe price of blackstrap lias been a great help to cane sugar producers and has further impressed upon their minds the fact that the European war alone has saved them from the disastrous consequences of a democratic tariff law.

Ask the surgeon m overalls about the Hupmobile. He will tell you that many of them come for gas and oil. “But mighty few," he will add, “for repairs.” *‘I have no reason to ‘boost' Hupmobiles,” he will say with a grin. “ They don't particularly help my business.” After that admission, listen to what he has to say. He knotcs cars. He will tell you that the Hupmobile is a wonder. He will confirm what you already have come to believe—that the Hupmobile stands up under conditions that would kill a car less sturdy. He will tell you that the Hupmobile motor is a wonder—a glutton for hard work. The garage man is the friend of the Hupmobile in spite of the fact that it does not swell his income. He is its friend because he loves a good car— and he can’t help saying so. He is always a Hupmobile booster. Let us add to his testimony with a Hupmobile demonstration.
