Now that the cold days of winter
are coming, patrons Of the rural
routes should remember to stamp
their letters before putting them in
the box. BY doing 80 you will rem
der great favor to the rural carriers.
Before you put your letter with two
pennies into the box just think what
it means to a man whose fingers are
already chilled by several hours ex-
posure, to pull off his gloves and fish
out those pennies, repeating this proc
ess perhaps forty or fifty times in one
days delivery. 1t is apparently a
small matter, yet it means aygreat
deal to the carrier. Keep a supply
of stamps on hand, and thus save the
already overworked and underpaid
carrier much additional hardship.
And then, if you want to get down to
the facts connected with the deal, re-
member that it is not the duty of car
riers to lick stamps for the patrons of
their routes, and when they do it is
only as an accommodation.

How Mail Order Houses Win.

The Iowa Republican says repre-
sentative of one of the largest mail or.
der houses in Chicago recently gave
his experience to a meeting of news
paper men. He said that the mail
order business depends entirely upon
advertising. He made one remark
that merchants should heed. He says
they took the local papers and direct
ed their special efforts to communities
where the merchants are not up-to-
date advertisers. Ii he found that
any line of business in any town or
city was not well advertised, as, for
instance, furniture, he said that they
flooded that territory with their liter
ature and always with satisfactory re-
suits. He said he believed it true
that country merchants could greatly
cripple the mail order houses if they
would advertise, freely and in the
right manner. He said that every
advertisement should describe minute
" the articles to be sold and quote
the prices. He thought as a general
proposition that advertising that does
not quote prices is thrown away or
largely so. Here is food for thought
by merchants who feel the effect of
the mail order houses.

Post Office Box Rent.

The postmaster general has issued
an order amending the postal laws
and regulations so that the paragraph
in regard to box rents now reads:
"Box rents must be collected at the
beginning Of each quarter for the en-
tire quarter and no longer. Ten days
before the last day of each quarter
postmasters are required to place a
bill bearing the date of the last day of
the quarter in each rented box. If a
box-holder fails to renew his right to
his box on or before the last day of
the quarter the box shall then be
closed and offered for rent and the
mail placed in the general delivery"
