AIDA WALKERS SINGING GIRLS.

One OF the biggest vaudeville hits
in New York City is that of the Aida
Overton Walkers Singing Girls. The
act is said to be without doubt the
classiest colored act ever produced in
vaudeville, and much credit is due

the dances. and helped to compose
two of her leading songs. The act
will play New York for a run OF six
months at salary of $1,000 per week.
The costumes for her company are

vaudeville.

TWO NEW RURAL ROUTES
GO OUT OF CEDAREDGE
By d. c. TOWNSEND.

/
Two new routes will start out of
Cedaredge August l. one taking in
Cedar and part of Paynes mesa dis
continuing the Welcome postoffice.
the other including Coalby and upper
Tongue Creek as far down as the
Bull-Ratekin neighborhood. This
will give over hundred new fam
lilies their mail daily, SO it is not
amiss to say something about how
new boxes should be put up.
When 1 first began l found many
people who said how ought a box
be put up?" And l didn't know any
more than they, how a box should
be put up to be the mcst convenient
First, it must be a metal box, ap-
proved by the government. The de-
partment does not recognize a
wooden box. 1t is impossible to
make one that will entirely protect
the mail in bad weather. If carrier
puts mail in box that allows it
to get wet or fall out and blow
away, he cannot be held responsible.
The rules say it shall be put up
in good substantial manner so that
stock will not rub it down nor will
be hanging half the time, head down
by one toe nail, so if anything hap
pens to hit the door the mail will
fall upon the ground.
In order to put it up in a good
substantial manner it is necessary to
choose a solid post, not less than
six inches through at the top and
smooth enough to paint. The de-
partment recommends that all mail
boxes be painted white as a pro-
lection from being run against in
the night. but does not require it.
The box must be easy of access.
That is, it must be where it is easy
tc approach and leave. See that
there are no stumps, boulders or
bitches in front or for a rod or two
on either side, where the track
will naturally run. If any one of
the patrons had ridden 900 times to
a certain mail box, think that rock
would have been taken out long ago.
Do not. by any means, put your
box where anyone is likely to tie
team in front of 1t when the car
rier comes for you are worse off
that day than if you had no box.
The department requires the car
rier to make special effort to make
his route as nearly as possible in
the same time each day, SO those
who live near the end of the route
and who may live some distance
from their box, will always know
The Delta independent., 1912-07-26

ting out of his buggy to deliver
This precludes the carrier from get
mail, and he often has team he
cannot leave without driving over
to a fence to tie. 1t is great help
to him for patrons to always have
their mail ready. Two minutes de-
lay at thirty boxes makes him an
hour late. He must watch his mo-
ments like railroad conductor.
The government directors require
convenient for the carrier to drive
under. The bracket sh ould be not
less than two or three feet long.
nailed up with solid braces and not
less than four feet high. The
height box should be varies ac-
tcording to the box. If it opens at
the end four and a half feet is m ost
convenient. If it opens on top. four
to four and half feet is best. The
carrier cannot see in it If higher than
this. The regulations say 1t shall
be convenient to the carrier, SO
every carrier has the right to say
how high the boxes on his route
shall be. Boxes that open on the
side are worthless.
The government gives the patrons
the alternative of putting up the
they wish. This Is by far the best
way, according to my three years
experience. This is done by taking
a good large post, saw it off about
four and a half or five feet high. A
good location for 1t is one of the
fence posts in front of the house in
fence post in fornt. Bore a hole IN
the top of the post, then take TX
about four feet long, nail the box
on one end and put block OF
wood or any weight on the other to
balance, bore n hole in the middle
OF the 2x6 and put a bolt or lag
screw through it into the top OF
the post.
This is the best way to put up
box because stock cannot rub 1t down;
It can be put on or near the front
fence so the patron can como out,
turn the box around and get out
the mail. But with movable box
the patron must remember to turn
II back facing the road. otherwise
It may be where the carrier cannot
get to 1t next day, and you get no
mail.
In conclusion let me say II you
want the carrier to be careful about
YOUR mail, you must be careful with
your signals. To put the flag up
when you have mail to go and put 1t
down when you take the mail out.

have seen patrons so careless
with their mail that they would
leave a box kicking around the yard
for the pigs to root in, II the car
rier would get out and look 70 It,.
and they always complain about the
carrier.
Uncle Sam says IL he carries the
mai to your door three hundred
days in the year without one dol
lar of expense to you. you ought
to be glad to put up a good box, in
the best manner possible, to facilitate
the carrier in his work
There are many people on the
route to whom the carrier enjoys
bringing the mail. To see them
makes n bright spot in his dull. mo-
n notonous and often thankless career.
Whether or not you Will be one of
these. depends upon you.
AS to carrying passengers and
packages, 1t is well to say here that
carriers are not allowed to carry
pessenges. Nevertheless, If he saw
a woman eighty years old hobbling
down the road to the neighbors. he
would probably ask her to ride. or
a woman of eighteen. If she would

Carriers are allowed to carry par

that will break or spill is unmail-
