HOW THE PRESS
AGENTS SHOULD WORK
Suggestions For Mr.. MADDOX And Other
From The Magazine Called
"Town Development"
Prom Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays DAILY
Another suggestion from Mr.. Mad
dox from the magazine called Town
Development"
The publicity agent for towns and
cities has not developed his work to
the point of finish or to the degree of
fullness that the theatrical or circus
show press man has attained.
There are innumerable ways In
which a town, city. community or sec
tion of country can get a great deal
of publicity which are yet unimprov-
ed by the press representatives OF
these centers. II indeed these towns
or communities have yet gotten to the
point of employing a capable repre-
sentative.
There is hardly a town SO uninter-
esting and so inconspicuous as to be
unproductive of a good story occa-
sionally which is worthy OF wide pub
hcity. The right kind of publicity
manager can procure great deal of
advertising for his city and many
times earn his pay.
One of the most conspicuous opor-
tunities for good work yet unimprov-
ed in the winter and summer resort
senters.
Men and women. difficult to inter-
view for the newspapers in their
home cities, are easy prey when they
20 away for the winter or summer.

SO goes to Florida or Texas or Cali

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT
DESTROYS OF HAVING
UNIFORM BOXES
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Postmaster Lewis is in receipt OF
the following letter from P. v. De-
Graw, fourth assistant postmaster
general, anent the good roads propo-
sition and the erection of uniform
mail boxes that can hardly fail TO be
of interest to readers of the Daily
Record who live on the rural free de-
livery mail routes. Mr.. De Graw
says:
1T is the desire of the department
that you earnestly request patrons OF
rural delivery out of your office to
paint their boxes and posts to which
they are attached a 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 the weather, but will
give all boxes a uniform color and
serve to fix their identity in all parts
of the country as United tSates mail
boxes, and will give them a much
neater and sightlier appearance than
they now possess. 1t is also desired
that patrons be induced to imprint
their names and box numbers on
boxes in black letters, about two
inches in length"
Commenting on Mr.. DeGraw's COM
munication, Mr.. Lewis says:
"It will be noticed by reading above
letters from Fourth Assistant Post
master general that this does not
come as an order. but as a sugges-
ton. and my understanding is that
1t is desired that people in repairing
and resetting mail boxes and erect
ing new ones that they follow these
instructions as It is probable that be-
fore long 1t will come as a direct or
der from the department to patrons
of rural free delivery. We also have
instructions as to the kind of post and
box most desirable to erect and in
structions as to proper setting. which
we will explain to those interested. I,
will also be seen that It is not the In
tention of the department to order
elaborate road improvements bui
In the interest of the best service they
will insist upon roads being kept in
good repair. One of the most annoy
ing troubles the rural carrier has to
contend with is carelessness In allow
the water from irrigation bitches to
run over the roads. t.s-
"In publishinz these Iettera a
commenting on them. my object is 70
let the public know in time that the
postoffice department does not intend
that their carriers shall be delayed
by bad roads through neglect to keep
them In repair"

Solving the Hobo Problem

There is no limit TO the uses of adver-
Using. A novelty in that line comes from
Crete, Nebr., where the city marshal has
recently made a hit with taxpayers by
his ingenuity The town had for months
far too many ''hobocs" on its mess ros-
ter to suit the people who foot the bills.
so the. marshal decided on advertising as
a remedy. In papers in nearby towns
he inserted this brief card: Wanted
Seventeen hoboes for stone crushing
None but bona fide hoboes need apply"
Not a DO" has been seen in the neigh
borhood since the ad appeared. Stone
piles and sledge hammers are not attrac-
tive TO men who are always 'lookin' for
