With snowdrifts piled higher than
iilroy's kite in every direction out
t Elwell. our rural mail carriers are
creed to endure all sorts of hard
hip in serving patrons of their diff
erent routes. Every day since the
ig blizzard they have encountered
difficulties in order that
heir isolated country cousins might
ave as good service as possible under
xisting conditions. In this connec- ,
on it is well for patrons to remem- :
er that the carriers are paid to
oliver the mail and not to work the
Dads. If you expect your mail
each day at the regular
me just see that the approach to
cur NAL box kept open. If there
&c any bad drifts on the road along
our land see that they are removed
i'd if your neighbor has not opened
is road see that he does likewise.
atrons should by all means refrain
ON leaving loose pennies in the mail
