tions if this swork is neglected the
carriers are not obliged to either
deliver or taxed up the mail. In

letters. livery patron of rural deliv-
cries should keep stamps in the
house and affix the proper amount
of postage to letters before mailing.
This would be more agreeable to
the carrier, whose duties are very
exacting at the best. People on
rural routes should do everything
