RETURNED FROM VISIT IN SWEDEN Otto Khngborg and Axel Lundberg, of Alvarado, returned Tuesday on the Soo from their visit in Sweden. They left here Nov. 29 last and had the pleasure to celebrate Christmas at their old homes. They report having had a very good time visiting with parents, relatives and old friends. The times, however, they say, are not the very best in Sweden at present, owing to the industrial stagnation. A large number of men are wtifcout work and wages are low. Many are emigrating to America hoping to better their con dition. There is plenty of food, how ever, for those who have money to buy They left Sweden April 1st and stopped otf in Minneapolis two days to visit friends Their visit in Swe den, they say, will always be one of the most pleasant experiences their lives POSTAL NEWS "Postal Impro\emeut Week" is to be observed May 1st to 6th Let everyone inteiested in this mattei be free to offer suggestions along the line of better service, iioin the em ployees of the office up to its patrons, all are concerned The post office be longs to its patrons 'It's employees, including the postimt,w ar' wur vants The patrons are earnestly in vited to call on the postmaster at any time and offer suggestions foi im provement The employees of the offi ce are expected to be alert for im provements and place ideas they may have before the postmaster Impiove ment means work, Work, and more work, pi ogress is but the fruit of labor. "Let no one beguile you with dreams of idleness. Life without toil, if possi ble, would be an intolerable existence. Work is the supreme encouragement, the sublime luxury of 4ife."Presi- dent Harding. One hundred years ago the records of the Post Office Department show that a "wonderful feat" was perform ed in carrying the mail and news dis patches, by relays of horses every five miles,- between Washington and New York, in 15 hours. Great en thusiasm was created along the way as the rider appeared in a cloud of dust and leaped to the saddle of an other horse. The records also refer to the unfortunate death of one of the riders who. was thrown from his horse on this trip. Even in the use of horses life may be sacrificed in the development of speed in carrying the mails. Last year 1,000,000 miles were flown in carrying the mails by air, with but one loss of life. It was thought a great achievement when the postal department, under Benpamin Franklin, began delivering the mails to every city and hamlet in the coun try through the means of the Fast Stage Coach. Let us not for one minute believe that the postal estab lishment has reached that stage of efficiency which is 100 per cent per feet. Perfection will never be at tained, but it is our duty to aim at it in order that we may come as near to the mark as possible. It is splen did to know how to do a thing, but it is much more important that know ing how, we do the thing in the best manner possible.

A farmer is an individual who works 13 hours a day for a living if the undertaker gets him before he is 50 he don't even get that. He works from 5 in the morning until noon to pay his taxes and interest he works all afternoon to pay the hired man and after supper he goes out and works until dark to try and save enough to get his wife a new dress and hat, which she must have every five years whether she needs it or not. Some folks farm because they ilke to and cannot sleep after 4 o'clock in the morning, others because they have to, and nobody cares a cuss about the rest. The farmer wakes up in the morning in springtime amid the beau tiful notes of the song birds and in the fall he wakes-up as the other notes are due. In the good old days he raised barley and hops to add a little joy to life. Now in order to get a little* joy he must have some brew and this necessitates catching a grass hopper, driving it a few miles and gathering up the hops. A farmer raises a big family to help him farm when they are young they can't help and when they grow up they go to town to drive a street car or work in a bank. There are two kinds of farmers: Check book farmers and grass root or dirt farmers. The former have perfume on their handkerchiefs and the latter on their overalls. One makes his money in town and spends it in the countrythe other is trying to save enough in the country to pay A farmer tried to go through bank ruptcy a short time ago and when his attorney told him that it would take $150 to make the trip he said he couldn't afford to and would have to farm another year. _^ T& P.

Mr. Green in filing the petition for dismissal states. "In making this statement the un dersigned states that he does not refrain from filing the informa tion because he believes said defend and Brown was innocent but on the contrary he does believe him guil ty of assisting William Gummer either in the commission of the crime or in attempting to conceal the fact* of its commission by Gummer."

WHEAT PRICES CLIMBING UPWARD Wheat prices aie on the upward grade Last Saturday the Warren market scored an advance of seven cents, closing at $1.43 The price to day is $142 May wheat in Minneapolis reached $1.50% on Saturday and the higesc price yesterday (Tuesday) was $1.52%. Wheat prices on the Chicago Board of Trade also advanced sharp ly. Repoits of severe damage to the winter wheat crop in some sections by floods and' the late spring and wet weather in the spring wheat states are paitly responsible for the ad vance The sale of 2,100,000 bu shels of wheat for export within a few days was also a factor raising prices.
