MESA, Aug. PA civil service ex- animation for rural auto carrier out of Mesa, and vacancies that may later occur will be held both in Mesa and Phoenix on September 2S, 1918. The announcement states that, during the continuance of the present war women will be admitted to rural carrier ex- aminations upon the same terms as men,
 The Mesa R. F. D., however, is full mans job. One after another car riers have undertaken it and have given it up. The route covers nearly sixty miles. For months Postmaster Babbitt and the citizens of Mesa have endeavored to secure a second carrier and while the department appears to look with favor upon the suggestion nothing definite has been done. The result is that there are people living within a mile or so of town who get their mail as late as o'clock in the afternoon, and this without fault oi the carrier
 However, while the work is enough to satisfy even the most ambitious oi carriers, the position carries a salary above the average. Information may be had at either the Phoenix or Mesa post office.
