Davis, of Pleasant Mills, is attending the annual convention of i the National Rural Letter Carriers' iAssociation at Louisville, Kentucky, this week, as a delegate from Adams County. Mr. Davis sent back a copy of the Louisville Courier-Journal, of Wednesday’s issue, which contained j the following account of the convention on Tuesday. Shunning politics Postmaster General Harry S. New greeted simply as comrades members of the National Rural Letter Carriers'j Association,’■ who opened their twentieth annual I convention at the Hotel Henry Wat-, terson yesterday. He dodged scrupu- i lously any mention of political texts | and spoke as a friend to friends. H.H. Hillany. Fourth Assistant Post master General, will follow today) • Mr. New said, w ith the “shop talk”. from which he refrained yesterday. l Mr. Billany’3 address will come at the close of a session which will open at 9 o'clock. Other speakers will be W. D. Brown, editor of “R. F. D. News.'' the association organ; O. H. Pierce, of Iowa; H. G. Nichols, chief; clerk, and officers and committee | chairman who will make their re-; ports. Goodwill of Department “I am merely here to know you better.,, Mr. New told carriers, men | and women. As he made his way to the street he was the bull's-eye for invitations ranging in distance from New Albany, Ind., to San Francisco, showered on him with calling cards or merely by word or mouth. At his room in The Seelbach, the former Senator from Indiana received friends and callers almost without cessation from the time he arrived at 7:40 o'clock yesterday morning until he left for Indianapolis at 6:35 o'clock last night. Among them were Senators A. O. Stanley and Richard P. Ernst, who wore speakers yesterday afternoon and James W. Dunbar, Representative from the Third Indiana District. It is impossible to foresee what the future of tire postal air service will jibe. Mr. New said in his address. Certainly the government will continue to develope its possibilities. He prophesied that the mail service, which is now consuming more than $600,090 000 a year, will reach $1,000,000,000 ten years from now. Civil Service Maintenance Maintenance of a civil service court of appeals, the retirement iaw, maintenance allowances, the purchase of motor vehicles from the Division. Equipment and Supplies and a civil service newspaper were touched on in the report of the president, A. P. of Pleasantville, Ohio, yesterday afternoon. When the question of transportation supply by the Government was broached to the Postemaster General he intimated that he hoped it could be brought about, but explained that the unforseen bulk of mail was rendering inadequate the budget allowed by Congress two years ago, and that until it was increased expenditures would have to be retheir own vihicles at present as when stricted. Rural carriers provide the department was created thirty years ago. Senator Ernst described the hardships of carrying letters through grinding winds and shoveling snowdrifts from the road ,in describing the discomforts and perplexities that confront the rural postman. "We do not need Government help for things we can do ourselves,” Senator Stanley told the assembly, “but the greatest good the Government achieves is in the dissemination of knoweledge.” Fred Schurger has brought in his big sun flower and it's a good one, as to whether ho wins over Mr. Dutcher has been left to the county agent. Fred also brought along a box of the finest kind of grapes. St FFEKUD Fit E V UAHS FROM KIDNEYS “I suffered with kidney trouble for five years or more.
