The government has been expert
menting on rural free delivery of
mails and the proposition has been
such n sue cess that it is now pro
POSED to greatly extend the system,
and there is no doubt but that in
the course of few years rural de.

TO receive or send mail have TO con-
struct close to the road he follows.
Any one who wishes can put up che
of these boxes, which is ma ked
with the owners name, and his
mail will be placed III his box and
n can leave letters there to be
mailed, 1t is provided that the
boxes be so constructed that when
here is any mail in them little
white flag is in sight and when they
are empty there is nothing to be
seen. This prevents the mailman
from making any unnecessary trips
to the box.
1t is provided, also, that the
route can Ice any length under 81
miles, and that there may be any
number of boxes on it that tn,
peopl, wish to put there.
