' "Judge Moore further writes that while he fully believes that the pris oner Is guilty there Is some room for doubt, and under all circumstances he does not believe the ends of justice de- helps it along will be appreciated by mand the execution of the death sent- j the farmers.

And he did, The post- master Is to read the farmer's letter to the farmers over the telephone. The farmer sits down, writes an answer, and has it ready for the rural mail carrier." Gorgeous notion, isn't it? Everybody likes to have his letters read by the postmaster. Only a few millions would be needed to make and to take the postofflce's telephone ex changes. Rural free telephone deliv ery will be a good institution, if the farmers will only give- up their, preju dices in favor of reading their own letters and attending' to their own business.
