NO RURAL BOX NUaTBEI1s.

According to reports from Washing
ton it appears that Kansas has been
making considerable fuss without cause
about a certain phase of the rural route
business. Some time ago the story was
spread that the postofflce department
had ordered that every mail box on
each rural route must be numbered and
that mail matter could be addressed to
the box number and route number,
without the name of the party for whom
the mail was intended. A good many
papers Immediately started a crusade
against the order on the ground that II
would operate in fa-~~ of the mail or
der houses, which could thereby us
tribute their catalogues broadcast over
the rural routes without having the
names of the farmers. This would un-
doubtedly have been true. but the fact
is that the order referred to was never
made. It was recommended by the
fourth assistant postmaster general-an
official, by the way, whose name is un-
known to the general public, which is ex-
tremely different from the condition that
existed two or three years ago-but the
recommendation was never approved by

ington dispatch says of the matter;
An erroneous impression seems to e1-
list in some parts of the country, partic-
ularly in Kansas. regarding the scope
of the rural free delivery service. Al
though the fourth assistant postmaster
general has recommended that mail
matter be permitted to b addressed to
rural boxes according to their numbers
and not to any particularly individual
the same as in postonces, the pOstmas-
ter general has not as yet given his
approval to the same. IN few in
stances the recommendation gave rise to
complaint, it being alleged that the ru-
raj free delivery service would be utiliz-
ed by large business houses throughout
the country as an advertising medium
to the disadvantage of the local mer-
chants. As the matter now stands, un-
less mail is specifically addressed to par
ties residing on rural routes it will not
be delivered
