H0SFORO EX0NERATEs
CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
SAYS ORGANIZATION Is NOT M.
sPoNsiBLE FOR MOTOR
NAIL SERVICE.
Relieves the Service IS a Progressive
Movement and Would Eventually
Give Patrons a Better
Mail Service.

In a number of articles published
throughout Ellis county the Wava-
haohie Chamber of Commerce has
been uniustIy taken to task because
the motor mail service was installed
in the county, aud as is usually the
case these writer's were men who had
axes to grind rather than their CON
Germ for a betterment of the mail
service. One is a town builder and
another an office seeker. Therefore
il will be of interest to read what
Frank Hosford, a patron of the
motor mail service has to say. and
when we consider that it is from one
who has the best interest of the
county at heart We may receive his
words with much appreciation. He
says:
81 really felt panied when [ learn
ed Saturday at our Marketing. Asso-
citation meeting that the efficient
and creditable Chamber of Comerce
of Waxahaehie has been assailed by
some of our brother farmers in diff
ferent parts of the county, and for
something for which they are not
responsible-the delivery of mail by
automobile.
1T seems that the delivery of mail
by automobile up to the present
time has been very unsatisfactory.
In just what particular / do not ven
ture to say. Anyhow. they are pc
titioning with vehemence the Cham
Der of Commerce, Mr.. Singleton, Mr..
Burleson, or some one or all of them.
to take them off and give them back
the pony and cart. | made the ar
gument with them that it was a pro-
gressive move and the whole intent
Of it was for the betterment Of the
farmers condition and for economy,
and asked that they bear with it un-
til the boys get onto their jobs
good and strong, and | believe that
they would give them as efficient
service as the pony and cart, and
believed much better if the mud did
not prevent.
Back to the Chamber of Com
merce. I am in a position to know
and l speak my true sentiments
when / say that if there is in Texas
an organized body OF men who have
the interest of the farmer at heart,
this commendable organization is
that body
Mr.. Hosford takes the same view
of the situation that this paper
takes. We do not knew that the
motor mail service will give the same
good service given by the horse
drawn vehicles, and we would not
object to have the department re-
turn to the old system, but at the
same time we believe the motives
OF those who inaugurated the SER
vice were good and that it was
through desire to give more ef-
ficient service that the change was
made. 1t has been stated time and
again that the Waxahaehie Cham
Der of Commerce knew nothing what
ever about the proposed mail service
until it was ordered established.
