We should like to suggest that the

install the necessary boxes and at
once. There must be 100 boxes or
at least boxes serving 100 families,
in operation prior to March 1. Some
people who have ordered boxes have
not purchased them and we ask them
to please do their part, for the bene-
fit of the whole community. The cost
is small, and we do not, believe one
person will fail as it means so much
to us all. Not only for the present
tri-weekly service, but If the houte
is we'll patronized, we are sure Of
daily service, within short time.
See Mr.. House as to the details and
