There are three things that bring
the rural communities into close
touch with The town, viz: good roads,
telephones and R. f. D. service.
AS a general thing these most val
liable assets to a community are Sc
cured against more or less opposition,
but once secured, prove of untold
value and cannot be dispensed with.
| We have the telephone and mean
to keep it. In a few months our
country will be covered by network
of good roads passable 365 days IN i
year-and worth many times more
! than they cost.
We almost have an established free
delivery service on mail route 2 and
l3. | say almost, because un esS more
interest is manifested and more sup
mort given, the Department may dis
continue service altogether att3r
June LIST.
During the past week more inter-
est has been shown and several new
patrons have been secured. Yet we
road several more boxes in order to
BE sure that the service will be con-
tinued.
If the following suggestions will be
accented and acted upon, | feel sure
that both routes will be approved by
the Department: Every patron hav-
no a nlled family or tenant erecting
I separate box for the family, and
hose not having tenants securing a
Jew ratron. Then let the carrier
hand e all OF the mail.
There are enough people along
the routes to make both come up tc
standard but | can only speak to
those directly on the route and ash
nv patrons to speak to the others.
Of course, | realize that the trl'
weekly service is not the most deSlra'
Die Sill it beats no service at
Many of the people who refuse to take
boxes and have their mail delivered &c
not call at the office for it for week
or ten days at tine. Of course this
has no reference to those living sew
era miles from town and who do moi
end children to school. But schoo
will soon be .out and all TIE teams
busy in the field and then R. F. d
service will come in alright.
The roads are good now and car

I can to make the service all it ought
to be. So give me your order for
box and become one of the commun
tvs boosters and be known as a pro
gressive.
The price of box is $1.0O and tina
is all it Will cost you. If you rent
box at the post office it will cost you
$1.40 a year.
We have the telephone, we arr
getting the good roads, and will
your help, we will have established
service on routes Two and Three.
We all gain if the service is con
tinued. You loose if it is discontinued
