Another incident Of interest to rural
mail folk is.the order issued the other
day byI Second Assistant Postmaster
General Shallenberger This order is
intended to introduce a species Of free
delivery on the star routes He has
issued a circular announcing that
farmers on star routes may put up
boxes and have their mail delivered in
them by the star route carriers. These
boxes need not be one Of the favored
fourteen. prescribed by Machen's de-
partment; it is only necessary that
they be Of such character as TO pro-
tect the mail from theft and weather
They may be manufactured by anyone
who can make box answering the de
scription. Ifingenious, the farmer
might build it himself. This innova-
ton bp Shallenberger has stirred up
the animals Tn the first place it
threatens competition with the rural
free delivery department, and in the
second place il threatens the monopoly

fourteen boNmakers trust The growth

has been phenomenal Nearly $1,000
