Count of Pieces OF Mail
Made Here This Week
That Mexico is in need Of new
Post Office building is being demon
strated every day. and this fact is
becoming more and more of neces-
sity. This is shown by the contln-
ualIy increasing of mail matter that
is passing through the local office
both going and coming. A count was
made at the Mexico office one day this
week showing that 1890 pieces were
handled both of the outgoing and in
coming mails. This is strong ar
gument for Fastening the location OF
the new government building.
OF the incoming mails the count
showed S210 pieces were handled by
the city carriers; 1074 were taken
out along the rural routes, while a
large number of pieces remained In
the office over night.
This is fair estimate of what goe
through this office each day Of the
year, though some days it may be
heavier while others it is perhaps
some lighter.
With the number OF pieces that the
government employees have to handle
over the United States each day
keeps the post office department
ever trying increase the ac'
curacy of carrying the mails. One Of
the greatest aids in this direction car
be achieved by the sender. The art
of addressing parcels SO plainly that
they will not go astray cannot be ovei
/ emphasized. This may be done In
three ways: LIST, Use ink in address
ing letters or other mail matters; 2nt
write plainly the name of the person
addressed, street and number, post
office and State; and 3rd, place youl
name and address in the upper LEFT
hand corner of the envelope. These
are points that should be followed il
the letter or parcel is to reach Its
destination with accuracy. These are
the main reasons why SO many pieces
!, of mail go to the dead letter office
each year, because the person ad
dressed cannot be located, though the
number that go there is diminishing
each year.
During last year there were more
than 100000 pieces of mail mattel
sent to the dead letter department a
washington last year, and out o
this large number there was compa
