Rural Carriers and Roads.

1t is only right that the postal au-
thorities demand good roads over
which the rural routes have to travel.
The people owe it to themselves to
build the roads anyway, says the Boil

ure the time saved to him by having
well afford to build and maintain 4

the route. Did you ever stop to cal

Besides these. think Of the convenience
