EAST END, RCKAL CLII'l'IPIXGS OK INTEREST. There a'e no worapo carriers in the cltj delivery service nnd only a limited number lu the clt.v delivery service. Out of a total ol nearly 40.000 carriers only 253 are women that Is r?*K?lnr carriers, ol course there art mi rubers Hers lug as substitutes. Rural d 11 very is not only a great help it tuitidine go.>d roMl?, but Is nl-n a great eduus tlonal lore* as more letters are written, more papers are taken; the registry aDd inooej oniur business is eu'Rrgrd, aud lu many ways It brings b:essings in iviuru. Slm-mbe first appropriation o' 810000 for the rural delivery service sboOt 9 years ag<' lr h?? reached jth? enormous exn?nriltuer of $20.000 000 and lo 1906, whs S24.738 980 T9 which i Is ice largest Item except that (or (he transportation of mails on railroads, which was S41.Hi 210 13 Thus we see the expehdltures ror rural (roe delivery has reached the second plrtce of Importance In disbursements for t he niR'n'etjiince of the .postal *ervices. General DcGraw in his annual rei ort estl mates the cost of operating expenses on rur? routes at from S80.) to S310 per year, wblct' ev>-n with the proposed ral?e would leave tin carrier" with i*ss income on which lo snrpurt. his family then that earned by the ordinary day laborer. There Is yet one chance for better pay Congress has the power, and can amend tbi post office bill, and v< te for a larger amount. W? trust, those Congressman who have hierpul ing for the K. F. I). Bojb will see fit u d<? so. Rural delivery Is not yet quite self supporting; neither wa? the city carrier system for yeus But rural delivery is growing more productive every rtny. and Is now earning more morey thau Its most ardent supporter expected at this stage, and In the n?ar future Is going to be the best Investment uncle Sam ever made in a postal venfnre, as. corresponding Its iitrlnslc valu* to tbf country, ILUIICOUJ 10 nun u UJHUJ nuito on It has cost. ten timely suggestions for r. f. d. patk0ns. No 1. You will do your furrier a great favor If you always stamp your mall before patting Dome In box, or use eevernment stamped envelopes (55 cents per packaee of 25). . Put return upon upper left band corncr and thus Insure delivery or return of your letter. 2 If you hav'nt stempR or stamped envelopes wrap tbe pennies In ppaer, for if they are put In box loose the carrier has to take off bis gloves to flsb tbem out with IrozeD fingers. 3 Put stamp upon the upper rlebt baud oorner. II you should spoil ? government stamped eoeveiope your onrrler or postmaster will redeem It with stamps or postal o surds. 4 When addressing a letter to one who Is rot a regul ir patron of a rural r^ute mark on tbe en ve ope in whose care the letter or pMofraze should g->. 5 In addressing a letter never write above tbe middle of the envelope, sstbe address may he blurred by the postmaklng stamp. 6 Help yonr carrier by having a good mall box In a convenient ptsce to drive up to, and always have your mall ready. 7 If you have visitors who are expecttDg mail, you should give tbe carriers their Dsmes. S Any mall matter deposited Id box is subject to ordinary rates. 9 All packages should be well wrapped and securely tied, and all valuable letters and packages should be registered, which oosts 8 cents in addition to rdgular postage. This Insures safe delivery and return receipt. 10 Tbe mall boxes are protected by tbe government, any ODe tamperihg with tbem not intrusted should be reported to your - carrier or postmaster. We hope tbe patrons will memorize these suggestions' or cut tbem out and plaoe id s convenient place for reference. Buy stamped envelopes tbey are of th* best quality, also cheaper, an1 will save you and carriers much trouble and vexation ot life. SAYINGS AND DOINGS ON ROUTE 3.
