There a'e no worapo carriers in the cltj

nearly 40.000 carriers only 253 are women

tlonal lore* as more letters are written, more
papers are taken; the registry aDd inooej

ways It brings b:essings in iviuru.

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.
