All Ihe averages are unusually

selected in the order named.
Th.- local office is Increasing Its
money order business and postal
savings funds by many per •■■lit
yearly, and its present quarters is
now too small to take care of the
patronage.
A movement will be started in the
near future to have carrier service
extended along ihe Cbnshohocasn
pike as tar as possible. Thai si c-tion
is being rapidly built up. A:
present the rural carrier handling
this district is burdened With postal
mailer fur other parts of his route
which is also becoming thickly pop-ulated.
At present the service from the
borough Iili i oul along Hie Consho-ho,
ken pike is poor for the reason
that the carriers' route ends at this
point, and from ihe borough line on
Ihe rural carrier makes only one
trip a day. A letter arriving in the
local post office at 10 o'clock in the
morning does not reach its destin-ation
one square out of the borough
limits until after noon the nexl day.
The residents along Ihe pike intend
taking th matter up With the au-thorities
lo see if a more prompt
delivery cannot be had.

where a number of young men were
engrossed in a game. As loon 08
they espied Ihe ollieer the men dis-persed
and beat a hasty retreat,
leaving behind them the "pot" In
which there was but forty cents.
This next stop war, on First ave-nue,
but when he arrived there he
found a crowd of men, but the tip
that he was on a tour reached the
crowd first and there was no signs
of dice or money. From there he
went to Connounghttown but on his
way saw a messenger hurrying
ahead of him to warn the craps
shooters to "cheese if and again he
was oul of luck .as Ihe crowd dis-persed;
he saw them scattering In
