On the 57th anniversary of Bill
Xyo's birth a tablet, a memorial win
dow and a granite monument were
unveiled to him. According to the
Los Angeles Times this shows that
ills quaint humor and lovable per
sonality have not been forgotten. It
was while serving as postmaster at
Laramie, Wyo., that Nye wrote his
famous letter which was addressed
to President Arthur and contained
his resignation. Washington officials
were so 1 tickled with the letter that
they published it far and wide. In
the letter, which was humorous. Nye
directed the president where to find
everything. He explained that the
postal cards he had read were care
fully pigeonholed apart from the un
read ones. "If Deacon Hayford does
not pay up his box rent,” he contin
ued, “you might as. well put his let
ters in the general delivery, and When
Bob Head gets drunk and insists on
a letter from one of his wives every
day in the week, you can salute him
' through the box delivery window with
‘ ;ui old Queen Anne tomahawk that
. you will find near the Etruscan water
i pail.”

tures for food by a greater use of
vegetables raised in the home garden."
The rules and regulations covering

home demonstration ngChts, members
of the home demonstration council,
and to home gardeners within the re

ments concerning size of tl e gar
