a bad one, at the present time, and by
and by the rural carrier will be placed
upon an equal footing with the car
rier in the cities. The mere fact that
the government does not allow him
the small income that he might make
out of side issues, will help to get
his income from the government in
creased from time to time, The rural
carrier was an experiment few
years ago. There were many doubt
ers. But there would be trouble ev-
erywhere in the state, there would be
genuine insurgency, If an attempt
were made to abolish that rural serv-
ice, to do away with that rural car
rier, who was greeted with an amused
smile when he began to make his ap-
.pearance in the state. Now everybody
is glad that we have him, and the
counties where he is not very numer-
Gus are clamoring for more. He
helps to make country life ever more
pleasant. While many had their
doubts, in the first place everybody
realizes now that We could not get
on without that rural carrier.
