r. F. D. Boxes.

An order received at the Edgerton
postoffice from the postmaster general
calls attention to rules regarding the
rural mail boxes. At present numerous
boxes are not placed rightly, and it is
for the benefit of the owners this order
is issued.
The regulations governing the plac-
ing and care of such containers state
that leach box shall be erected on the
right side of the road regularly trav
eled by rural carrier and in such po-
sition as to be easily and safely Access
sible for the delivery and collection of
mail by the carrier without leaving his
conveyance.
Patrons shall keep clear the ap-
proaches to the boxes by promptly re-
moving distractions which may render
difficult or impossible the delivery of
mail by the carrier
These regulations must be enforced
and rural box owners are advised to
see that their boxes are placed and kept
according to the requirements noted.

Belief Work

Ii it were optional with you to
either enlist to fight for your country
on the field of battle, or to make
lesser sacrifice and by money contri-
button help to save the lives of those
who are to do the fighting, what
would be your attitude? If it is inn
possible for you to join the army of
fighting men you unhesitatingly will
be willing to contribute to any fund
the object of whl:h is t, prevent un-
necessary loss of life among our SOL
diers. No patriotic citizen will hest
tate for moment in contributing to
cause which is designed to prevent
such mistakes as our country in it's
former wars and which European
countries in the present war have
made, mistakes which resulted in the
sacrifice of many life that might
have been saved.
The week of June 1926 has been
designated by the President as Gre
lief Week.. During this week it is
purposed to raise a fund of 100000.
900 as a special Red Cross fund, this
fund is to be used for immediate needs
of our hospital and ambulance depart
ments. The organization for the
work is perfected. The money only
is needed. Edgerton's share in this
fund will be $4,000. If the citizens
of the town of Fulton and of the East
half Of Porter, in which this amount
is to be campaigned for can but be
informed of the purpose and aim of
the campaign no individual who is
approached would fail to appreciate
the honor of an opportunity to make
his contribution.
Similarly, could the proper public
ity be developed, it is altogether prob
able that the membership of the Red
Cross organization in Edgerton would
reach a minimum of 1900. When the
fact that all Red Cross contributions
resolve themselves into the simple
fact that they are aids in saving the
lives of American boys who are fight
ing the battles of their country, then
it is unthinkable that anyone with
spark of patriotism will fail to re-
spond.
Next week committees will canvass
the Edgerton territory. 1t is hoped
that no individual in this territory
will be missed. It is anticipated that
no individual in the territory who is
aware of the campaign will fail to re-
spond, not only willingly, but with
enthusiasm. If you are not canvass
ed, please keep in mind the name of
Adolph Jensen, treasurer of the local
association who will be at the Tobacco
Exchange Bank ready to receive mem
berships and contributions at any
Let your thot next week be;-"Do
l think more of dollars or of American
soldier lives"
