RURAL MAIL BOXES
 WILL BE RtNUMBERED
A New and Better System Will Be Adopted. General Rural Route Ob- servations.

Rural free delivery mail route No. has been heightened by three-qIiar ters of a mile and return. the service thereby being extended to eight addi- tiOnal families. The extension is from Jackson's corner on the Henshaw road, three quarters of a mile south to Ken yons corner and back again. This change has been made largely through the efforts of NJ. A. Stanford. who re- sides in that section. Not only does this move give added conveniences to quite a number of people but it length ems the route to twenty-four and a half miles, placing 1t as the highest class of routes. or the class paying the maximum salary to the carrier. ss00 per year
 In January the boxes on all the rural routes will be renumbered. under new system that it is expected will prove much more convenient for the rural carriers and also for strangers and new corners Under the old or rather the present system the boxes were numbered about year ago. be-

ginning with number l at the postof- line of the route so the first and last boxes were nearest the postoffice There were many changes during the year and quite a number of new boxes were added. These were given num- bers consecutiveE from the last one on the original list, which was ap- proximately 150 on each route. The result is that the number of box does not in the slightest degree indi- cate its geographical location. Num- her 50 might be the next box to num- Der 100. etc.
 The new plan will consist of num- bering the boxes consecutively as be-
 fore and then any new box that may be put up will take the number of the one next preceding. followed by let ter of the alphabet. Should there be two houses erected between two al- ready numbered, the first would be given the number next preceding and the letter A, and the other would have the same number with the letter B. etc. To illustrate: Suppose three houses were built between box No. and box No. g. There would be four No. 9's as follows: the original No. 2, No. A, No. B, and No. C.
 Concerning the growth of the rural route business Postmaster McClintock
 says it has more than doubled since the institution of the routes here. Be- fore that time but few of the country residents took a daily paper. Now al- most every box has daily paper of some kind and many have several Many people now get considerable mail who previously got very little Going to the postoffice in town was an >ex- tra errand for some whs. were not nat urally inclined to take papers or write many letters. Now it is no errand at all. The mail carrier comes by every day and there is something of di- version in watching for his arrival to see what kind of surprise package he may have. Many people answer advertisements who did not do so be- fore. because il is so much less trou- ble and they write letters because they can mail them daily without trouble while it was necessary before to wait until some one went to town and then half the time forget them. Another point is that formerly only one family could be served by one mail box. Now the regulations have been changed so several families if close together may have a joint mail box if they desire and everybody will his own post master.
 This is a model country for rural routes. one fact that accounts for the growth of their importance. The clim- ate Is mild. making it safer for the handling of mail and the leaving of it in boxes. as well as for the comfort of the carriers and their stock. The roads generally are very good. much better than the roads in the east where there are frequent rains and snows. once in a while a bad piece of road is found but it is generally due to some careless irrigatOr who does not take care of his waste water. The county authorities try to prevent this and the reclamation service which now has the administration of the water will add its influence" by not furnishing water to people who vase it. The postmas- ter says he desires to acknowledge the hearty cooperation of the board of supervisors in keeping up the roads where the rural foutes run. They have done a great deal in that line as also have the road overseers.

Prohibition appears to be marching on

option by which liquor selling has been
greatly curtailed, but has now, like
Georgia and Oklahoma, entered upon an
experiment which possibly may teach
her people that statewide prohibition
results sometimes in wide open
state. 1t Is noticeable that liquor traf-
fc regulation in the south is now fol-
