Leave Box Numbers Off.

Postmaster Webb finds that the
new ruling of the postoffice depart
ment requiring rural route patrons
to Llace a number on their mail
boxes, the numbers being given
them consecutively along the route,
has some great disadvantages, and
is disconcerting to the postal dis
tributing officials in sending the
mail to it's proper destination. Each
rural route running out of Lancas-
ter is numbered. There are now
nine routes running from this city.

Observations.

Talk about your skin games and
grafting-just read this:
Of all the recent protests against
graft none has contained more gen.
uine emotion than that raised by
Mr.. George Lovejoy, of Spokane,
Wash. Mr.. Lovejoy is an Elk, and
when tie wife Of a brother Elk lost
a portion of her cuticle through a
misadventure with a lamp, he vol
unteered, along with number of
other Elks, to furnish enough skin
to supply the deficit According to
his own version of the affair it was
represented to him that the surgeon
would take from his thighs only two
or three strips Of cuticle three or
four inches long and three-fourths
OF an inch wide. But after he had
been placed under the influence of
an anaesthetic, his skin was found
to be of such a superior quality that
the surgeon went ahead and peeled
off all that was necessary, practic
ally denuding the front of his legs
between knee and hip, by reason Of

Some, in fact, a number Of the rural
route patrons, have been having
their rural route box nu IL Der placed
ON their mail in addition to the
usual address. The route number
is all that is necessary to assure
their getting their mail, and the adj
ditiOn Of the box number is confus-
ing. Especially is this true if the
number of the route is lett off, and
only the box number placed on the
address. Then there are three
things that number may mean;
it may mean the city box number
OF person IN Lancaster in the local
postoffice; it may mean a box mum
Der OH some rural route or it may
mean rural route. 1t is to be
hoped that the patrons of the rural
routes will not cause the post
masters any more worry and work
in deciding where it is intended that
mail shall go, and that they will de-
slst from having the box number
placed on their mail, having only
the number of the route instead.

was eminently successful, she died
anyway. Consequently Mr.. Love-
