quent. No more weekly mails-the
modern country home is receiving
and sending letters away every day.
TO repay the government for this
splendid service, the patrons can show
their appreciation by cooperating
with the postmaster and carriers in
their work. If there are any diff
ruIties to adjust, tell the carrier
pleasantly what the trouble is and
he will endeavor to make it right.
The rural carrier is a human being
like us other creatures and some
times makes mistakes. When such
occur, bring the errors to his atten-
ton, instead of getting angry at him.
Any serious misconduct or error
should be reported directly to the
postmaster at the Office from which
the route originates.

Decatur County Improved Stool
Breeders Association.

The Decatur County Improved
Stock Breeders Association held
their quarterly meeting at the Leon
Commercial Club rooms on Saturday
Dee. end. There was a good at
tendance. President A. Fl. Meter
called the meeting to order and led
in the discussion Of cattle shortage
in the United States, which was very
interesting 1t was generally adj
mittCd that there were not more
than half as many cattle in Decatur
county as there were ten years ago,
that farmers had ploWed up mead
Ows and pastures and We're raising
corn and other cereals instead of
cattle
There was a general discussian
about what day to hold the stock
show next year, a good many wish
ing to have the stock show the first
Gay of the institute and then hold
the prize winners the rest of the in
stitute, if suitable arrangements can
be made to take care of the stock.
The businessmen of Leon are be-
coming interested in the stock show
and are willing to do anything with
in reason to make it a success. Now
is the time for farmers to make ar
engagements for getting their stock
ready, and make their wishes known
if they will be willing to leave their
stock two or three days for the ben
eft of the farmers institute. 1t is
the wish of the institute committee
to have all exhibits in place by noon
Of the first day and not release any
of the exhibits until the afternoon Of
the last day. If suitable arrange
ments can be made for taking care

The rate OF postage on matter go
ing on rural routes is exactly the
same as though it were going to the
farthermOst point in the United
States--there are no reduced rates
of any kind. Letters require postage
at the rate Of two cents an ounce or
traction thereof. A letter, properly
stamped, may be picked up at any
Eoint on the route, to be delivered to
| a party further along on the route
Carriers are permitted to carry par
cells for their patrons and charge for
this service. provided that it does
not Interfere with their regular
work. However, any matter that
they may carry that is subject to
postage must be prepaid in the regu-
lar way. An article of merchandise
weighing under pounds is subject
to postage This means that if you
ask the carrier to get you spool Of
bread and bring it on his next trip
you must send money for postage on
it, at the rate of one cent an ounce
However, should you request him to
bring you a suit case, or any other
article weighing more than four
the postal rates, there will be no
charge except such as the carrier
may ask for doing the favor. Car
riers must rot (nOr any one else, I'M
der penalty) place circulars, bills or
other matter in mail boxes. unless
prepaid at proper rate The govern
ment means business On this propo-
sition and will punish those who are
m oh iol l.; 1,&:
Moreover, any matter that is placed
in rural mail box must bear the
name Of the person who is to receive |
1t. Vnaddressed matter, though |
properly stamped, cannot be placed |
in mail boxes by rural carriers.
DO not delay your mail man in |
any way, unless with hot cup of |!
coffee Or something. He has GER !
tain schedule to make and, as pat
rons expect him at a certain time, it |
is lnirrious to the service to cause
HIM nrcdlrssly to be delayed An |
exchange of greetings and an occa-
sional pleasant word is very proper
but to detain him with gossip or
lengthy conversation should be
avoided DO not ask the carrier to
wait while you address a letter Or
make out an application for a money
orcr. Instead keep a supply of
stamped envelopes always on hand
ana get some money order applica-
lions so that YOU may have your APP
IIiration filled out when the carrier
arrives. \ supply of stamped envel-
Cpcs will necessitate very small in
vrStnent and the blank applications |
are furnished gratis. Buy your
stamp supplies direct from the car
rier. instead Of at the postottice. in
order that the carrier may get credit
:or the sales. The government keeps
accurate record of each carriers
les and routes that show small
sales are in danger of being dscon-
tinued. The rural mail delivery
service is removing much of the
drudgery from the life of the Ameri-
can farmer. No more lengthy even
ings. The farmer is no longer shut
