7 WALNUT TREES
NET OWNERS $105
New Era Woman Proves Handsome
Income Possible From Few
Bearers.
To those who watch and take inter
est in tho market, the crop of wal
nuts which has recently been sold by
Mrs. Herman Ankeuey of near New
Era will show that there is money in
planting walnut trees.
Samples of the crop were brought
to Harlow's 'and were indeed fine
specimens.
Mrs. Ankeney collected the crop of
seven trees which netted her $15 per
tree. However she could at present
have sold at a better price as walnuts
have lately advanced 3c per pound
and are now selling at 18c.
Mr. Swallow of Mi. Pleasant is also
another extensive grower of walnuts
in this vicinity.

Ing, December 22. i
The prospect of having Duano
street provided with a respectable'
sidewalk Is welcomed. A sidewalk
Is something very much needed, The
walk to the cemetery Is In a demoral
Ized condition and the fence along the
street has a dl'apidated appearance
and keeps one dodging nails and brok
en boards. This sidewalk Is uod a
great deal and needs to be wider and
better. A walk on the north side of
the street and tho mud hole at the
scale house filled In and crushed rock ;
for the distance of a couple of blocks;
would make the cemetery road much
better.
Mrs. Gotborg, who has been in feeble '

FIRST COLLECTION
OF MAIL AT 7:30 A. M.
TIME SLIP 8ENT BY POSTMASTER
RANDALL TO DEPARTMENT
FOR APPROVAL.
The local postofflce officials are do
ing all within their power to perfect
the collection and delivery of mails.
Postmaster Randall has sent tk
time slips to the department at Wash
ington to be approved, and upon their
return same will be placed on tie
boxe.
The slips will have printed on thesa
the ti-ne for the different collections
that are to be made through the days
i of the week and on Sundays. Thor
! will be three collections daily aa
i two deliveries. The first collection
! will be at 7:20, while the remainls
! two collections are to be done wh
the deliveries are given.
The local office has been greatly
handicapped since the delivering of
the mails to the houses has been start
ed. "Until the numbers of the house
correspond with the numbers on the
plat made by the postofflce depart
ment nd which Is being used by tn
carriers, we cannot deliver the mails
correctly," says Postmaster Randall.
It seems that a great per cent of
the malls is now being dropped Into
boxes bearing certain numbers whlJ
the person to whom the letter to ad
dressed may live in a house number
differently.
"The lack of sidewalks of this eitf
is perhaps delaying the carriers mor
than any other problem that we haw
come In contact with," says the post
master upon being further question
ed. "The carriers often have to re
trace thel steps for blocks to dellTer
at a num! er across the street or eross
t!e mudt'y roads." Many districts
of the city where the mails are delhr
ered are badly in need of sidewalks
and the citizens would aid the loeafl
office In delivering the mails in better
time, if walks are built"
