The post office department have given
warning notices of the work of gang
OF swindlers who have recently appear
ed along the line of rural free delivery
routes. The notice says that the swind-
lers "have been travelling about the

postoffice inspectors. Their scheme is
to pretend to inspect the mail boxes

the habit Of the swindlers to work their

becn established, tho patrons, not being
familiar with the requirements being
easily led to believe that it is necessary
