ST: PETER, MINN.-Country merchants and re-
tall dealers are up in arms against the recent
order OF the postofice department which pro-
v1des that boxes along rural routes shall be
numbered and that patrons may receive mail

dealers in all parts of the country see in 1t an
added menace from the catalog and mail-order
houses Of the large cities. and they have not
been slow in lodging protests. They assert that
the order was issued at the instance of the

sity Of the latter maintaining expensive mail
ing bureaus and will enable them to food the

tai officials In this light. they held up that
portion of the order which permits mail to be
sent to box numbers. and inspectors are be-
ing sent out to sound public sentiment. Gilbert
