Many matters of interest to the men who
carry the mails in the counties generally wers
discussed for the object Of the association is tt
better their condition and to bring about ar
increase in pay. One thing the rural carriers
are deeply interested in is an effort to educate
| the people to the custom of placing stamps or
their letters instead of dropping the pennies ii
| the boxes. The carriers are forced to carry
stamps with them, and it is sometimes hard
ship for them to pick out the pennies and licl
the stamps in cold weather. Then again, th,
pennies are not always all there. Sometimes
| children sent to the boxes with letter anC
| two pennies or two letters and four pennies
| When the carrier comes around some of tn,
pennies are missing, the children, perhaps
| having lost them on the way to the box. Thi
means that the carrier must dig into bis owr
| pockets.
