as Gate City man approached the
back door of the post Office, little
knot of post Office employees were talk
ing excitedly about the screened en-
trance. After little shopping around
the cause of the excitement was
learned,-one of their brother letter
carriers had relabeled his case for the
first time in many years and his action
in the case could not be accounted
for.
1t is probably an unknown fact to
many keokuk people that in change
OF business location letter carrier.
delivering business mail Or residence
mail, changes the label on his rout-
ing case in the post Office SO that he
will not become confused in making
up the case thereafter and to be sure
to get the mail in the proper pigeon
hole, especially in the routing of
business mail. Mr.. Thompson had re-
membered the various changes in his
case for more than a dozen years past
but yesterday, the day being SO pleas
ant and warm and the keokt.k base
ball team having lost several games
during the past few days, he perhaps
thought it would be good time to
do little house cleaning and start a
crusade against antiquated mailing
case labels. Hence the excitement OF
his fellow carriers.
