MAIL LETTERS OFTENER.

Owing to the various postofiices
throughout the country being clogged
with mail matter late every after
noon, because corporations and busi-
ness houses mail their letters and
printed matter late in the day, notices
have been sent out by the ~Postoffice
Department asking for the co-opera-
tion of those mailing numerous pieces
of mail matter, in improving the SER
vice. Postmaster English in speaking
Of the notices said that as a result OF
so much mail matter being received
late in the day. the local post office
force is worked hard and the outgoing
mails are crowded This not only
works a hardship here, but the mails
are not delivered with despatch in
other cities.
Postmaster English pointed out that
If business houses would make 1t a
point to mail their letters several
times a day, this crowded condition in
the postofiices of the country in the
afternoons would be eliminated.
