R.F. D. ROUTES A
GREAT BLESSING

The rural routes were established
for the benefit of rural homes, or in
other words the farmers. They have
proven a greater benefit and bless
ing to the farmers than was antici-
pated by the most sanguine. A
farmer VINO has once enjoyed the
advantages of the rural mail service
would hardly know how to live with
out it. 1t did not come to the farm
er, however, until he had many times
earned it. The farmers are our
heaviest taxpayers. What property
they have is in plain sight and is
taxed, while the city gent, at least
many of them, who deals in notes
and bonds is enabled to hide his
wealth from the assessor. For a
quarter of a century the mail has
been carried to the city home, not
once, but many times each day. Final
ly the big heart of Uncle Sam has
reached out to the men who feed the
world.

much right to take over all the iron
