THE rural free delivery service of
i the United States ean the dis
tribution of nearly 5000, 900 letters and
parcels annually along the highways
and byways of every state and terri
tory from Maine to Alaska. A force
of 41,000 carriers daily go over the

Bringing the mail to the farmer now

We had discovered Louise at the

Arnold Armstrong, to be held Satur-
day, and the arrival of Mrs. Arm

the Traders bank. We had not told
Louise of either death.
Then, too, l was anxious about the
children. With their mothers inheri-
lance swept away in the wreck of the
bank, and with their love affairs in a
disastrous condition, things could
scarcely be worse. Added to that, the
cook and Liddy had a flare up over the
proper way to make beef-tea for
Louise, and, of course, the cook left.
Mrs. Watson had been glad enough,

care, and Thomas went upstairs night
and morning to greet his young mis-

cludes a private postof1ce through
which every letter received or sent
relative to rural delivery must pass.
Every one of the half-million and
letters sent from this depart
ment is copied for record by a me
chanical system which saves the labor
of a hundred copying clerks even
where the hand copying press or the
carbon method has been employed. A
force of only seventeen clerks is need
ed in this section, yet In addition to
handling and copying mail they keep
a daily record of all the outlay for
postage expenses of the department
and sort and examine the hundreds of
letters daily received which must be
returned to the postofice where they
should have been directed.
What the service does in receiving
applications for new routes, petitions
for carriers, decisions of the depart
ment, the payments and receipts, is
told by the ~postofflce newspaper.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
delivery is best shown by the last IN
nual report. During the year 1t states
that out of the Al 1000 in the service
the total dismissals for cause were
only 165, less than the total number
of deaths.
The reasons for the dismissals were
principally incompetence and failure
to obey instructions. No dismissals
whatever for stealing from the mails
or other dishonesty were on the rec
ords.
