1t is the desire of the postoffice de-
partment that patrons of rural delivery
shall paint their boxes and the posts to
which they are attached, pure white
color. This course, if pursued, will not
only result in benefit to the patron in
serving to protect his box and post from
damage by weather, but will give all
boxes a uniform color and serve to fix
their identity in all parts of the country
as United States mail boxes, and will
give them much heater and sightlier
appearance than they now possess. 1t
is also desired that patrons be induced
to imprint their names and box num-
bers on boxes in black block letters
about two inches high.

not nab him by the pigtail. hey? The
answer to that is that his pigtail is
done up in knot on top of his head
and stuck full of needles and hatpins
