'C ' - The size and rapid growth of the United States has added im - measurably to the complications .thatf&e' gdvernuient . haa- faced and must face. None of the advo cate'oi demiberacy from the time o. Plato to the father , of the Ai raerican'. repubifc' contemplated that the principles of democracy' should be applied to a nation of ninety millions of peopled scat tered over ha'f a continent and ' grouped in cities containg up to four or five million inhabitants. lij! the past that is previous to the nineteenth centu ry it was ; held ..that a democratic form of government , could succeed , sue: eee only in a small community. Mbntuein, a noted philosopher writing about the year ' 1715, said: "It is naturalfor a repub lie to have only a small territo ry, .otherwise it cannot long sub-; sist. In an extensive republic there are men of large fortunes, . dvonsequently, of less mod eration. The4ptiblic good is eac: rifled to a 'thousand private view's; it is subordinate to excep tion and depends on accidents. This "could not have been better written if it had been dona 1 a a t weekinstead of two hundred years -ago.,; ' . - '. t. '. " In large democracies the indi vidual becomes lost in the mass. iFeeling that his duties are of no consequence, he relinquishes them altogether. Government, except in a restricted ense, passes out of hiijiands. If it becomes a fail ore, more or less, he blames oth- ers for it y ' ".. .. J The success of. good govern- 'i meht in every community, "large .or small, iii.its last analysis - de pends upon individual effort. If vpflblic duties areneglfeted by large numbers, or passed over to oth ers, the State or the community irJlkely to suffer. Wherever this indiViSlaal. neglect : has crept in" the result has been the same.

II. "Patrons can help the their carrier, and by so doing help im prove the service on rural routes. "First Purchase stamps and envelopes and have all mail . rea dy to dispatch. Stamp your let ters and cards before depositing them in your mail box, and es pecially do this for your carrier in bad weather. Did you ever think how cold it would be for the rural carrier to take off his wraps and gloves aud pick small coins out of your mail box? The law does not require carriers to take'pennies from box. He car ries for the patrons a supply . of stamps, cards and stamped en velopes, so that the patrons may buy r in sufficient quantities to enable' them to stamp all mail before , it is lej'in the box. .'Second-Is your box .well lo cated? It'(spuld'J.be set away fromthe fehjee On' a solid post, abd abo'dVf mr feet above the ground; in position that the carrier may drive very close to it and easily reach same without unwrapping. Third Has your box a sign on it? If it has not, and there should happen to be bo mail for you some day, then your ourgo- ing mail is most likely to be left in the box, as carriers are instruc ted to look for mail only in the boxes where the signis shown of outgoing mail. Any simple sign that is easily seen when display ed is all that is necessary. "Fourth If .you have any friends visiting you and they want their mail to come to your box,you should.mention it to the carrier and he will watch forsame at postoffice, should it not come addressed in yourcare. Visitors mail most often comes without special address. "iitth Uo you receive any parcel post packages? Some kind of a large box placed at a con venient position, though it sits on the ground will be bet ter than for your carrier to plate packa ges on the snow or dampened ground. lou do not want your pnekage lost, but have you pro vided for it? Sixth Bad road conditions --1 area'' great drawback to rural delivery. All patrons sl ould in sist on township officers keeping road oyer which carriers travel in best possible condition. Yon travel over the same road, and aside from helping your carrier deliver your mail earlier and more promptly, you have the satisfaction of traveling over a smooth, well kept road. "When the snow drilts around your box, see that it is cleared away and the road opened to your box by the time your car rier comes.' Remember, the Post Office Department does not re quire him to get to a box. The carrier is not supposed to ven turd into snow-drifts or mud. These are only a few of the ways you can assist in prompt delivery of your mail. Your car rier wil appreciate all courtesies and will do his best to always re turn good forgood." Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up. Mr. Martha Wilcox, Gowan- da.'New Yorlt. wnten: "I first uh ed Chamberlain's Cough Kcmedy about eight vpsr ajjo. At that tfmelhad a hard cold and cough ed most of the time It proved to I e jiiHt what I needed. It broke up the cold in a few daya and the tough entirely disappeared. , I have told many of my friends ol the good I receive) throng using this medicine, and all who have uM it ppeak of it in the highest terms."

Almost every - article entering into the production of. a newspaper has increased in val ue since war was declared. Pa per has advanced in price, and other articles have kept pace. And in addition to this, news papers like other lines of business had to meet the increase cost of operation while at the sametiriSe facing a sharp slump in collect ions. It has been a problem with many of existence and we notice that various papers are adopt ing drastic policies to meet the situation. The four afternoon paper of San Francisco which formerly sold at a. penny an issue have doubled the price assigning as as reason for so doing the in creased cost operation. In our own territory a number of papers have been forced to take certain steps in a like di rection. One afternoon daily. which formerly got full lease wire Associated Press reports has dropped the full service, we un derstand. A semi-weekly here has gone back to weekly publi cation, while numbers of papers both morning and afternoon have dropped from their custo mary twelve to fourteen pages daily down to ten, and in many cases eight and six. The average newspaper has not found the war conductive to its business vigor. Apply Sloans Freely For Lum bago. Your attacks of Lumbago are not nearly so hopeless as they seem.
