The Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gene ralbas written the postmaster at Salem, ? Mis county as follows: yThe department has received a report on an inspection of tho rural delivery service from your offloe whloh indicates that Route No. 1 is far below the require ments in the extent of patronage and amount of mail handled, and that a num ber of families who oould be served do not take advantage of the rural delivery servloe. ' "You are directed to bring this matter to the attention of residents on the rural route and to notify them that unless they manifest their appreciation of the ser vioe by ereottng boxes and becoming regular patrons, the department will have to consider the reduction of fre quency of service from daily to every other day delivery. "It is desired that you make a strong effort to stimulate interest in the sorvioe with a view to bringing tko route up to the necessary standard for daily deliv ery." The Courier hopes to see the people ] along the route rally, to its support and see that daily service is maintained. We know that a dally rural route does more to enhanoe the value of real estate in a rural community than anything else. The people should ereot approved boxes and patronise the route liberally, lt is oheaper to spend $5'a year to help a rural route than it is to go to the post office 52 times (once a week) a year, for while you were going to and returning from the office your servioes on the farm would be worth more than 10 cents-the oost of each trip. \ Bad Burn Quickly Healed.
