Rural Mail Delivery.
OSt-Intelli genccr.

Seattle Post -In1clligenCcr.
The effect ni rural mail is notice
able in every community where it
has been given fair trial. The Jar
merS waste less time in going 70
town ior their papers and letters
from home. They save the expense
OF working horses. repairing wagons
and keeping up appearances Tor vls-
iting the cities and towns. That
time is devoted 70 improving the
farms. growing better crops and de-
veloping more profitable systems OF
work. Men give more thought to
methods and do not rush through
with their duties as under the isola-
ted plan OF agriculture.
Rural mail keeps the boys on the
farm. 1t prevents the formation OF
the liquor habit and other evils that
GO in the train Of towns and cities.
With the arrival Of daily papers and
current literature the boys and girls
are content to spend more time at
home. They get the pleasures of life
in home surroundings and are con-
tented. Close attention to the de-
tails OF farming brings satisfactory
financial returns and relieves the far
mer and his family OF much drudgery.
