Post Office Department Prohibits
Placing Loose Money
In Boxes.

Postmaster, NJ. L. Heaverln has
received the following letter from the
Postoffice Department, at Washing
ton, with reference to the practice
of placing lose coins in mail boxes
which will be of interest to many of
our readers:
I'm view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose cdins in
boxes by rural patrons has grown. and
the hardship imposed on rural car
riers incident thereto, you are in
formed that, commencing February
Is. proximo, rural letter carriers will
not be equied to collect loose coins
from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose in an en-
velope, wrap thcm securely in a
piece of paper, or deposit them in a
coin-holding receptacle, so they can
be easily and quickly taken from
boxes. and carriers will be required
to lit such coins, and, where ac-
companied by mail for dispa,ch, at
tach the requisite stamps.
This should be promptly announced
to the rural patrons through what-
ever means yon may employ, without
expense to the Depan,ment, and you
are at liberty 10 give the informa-
ton embodied herein 20 your local
papers for publication, If they 50
desire. respectfully,

says: Peaches at 25 cents bas-
ket and potatoes at 81 a barrel hardly
pay for the picking and hauling and
most farmers in that section say they
will not ship any more fruit or po-

solved the problem when he brought
his peaches to town and found that
they were bringing such poor prices.
Filling quart boxes with nice looking
fruit, he met every train and easily
disposed of the fruit to the passengers
