RURAL ROUTE "DON'TS"

Following are few Very fit ting suggestions as to things that should not be done-all in the in- terest of better service to you the patrons of the Rural Routes: DON'T expect good service unless you cooperate with the carrier and the department.
 DON'T ask the carrier to wait foi you to write letters or cards, other patrons are expecting him.
 DON'T expect the carrier to stamp your letters and cards. His time is required for more important work. DON'T ask the carrier to deliver packages or messages to your friends along the road.
 DON'T expect the carrier to go shopping. Write your merchant let ter ordering what you want.
 DON'T fail to supply yourself with sufficient stamps, cards and envelopes to accommodate your correspondence
 DON'T stop the carrier to ask him about war news. Subscribe for pa per. He has a schedule and he must maintain it.
 DON'T do anything that will hin- der the carrier in his work but rather something that will make him more efficient in the discharge of his duties, DON'T fail to keep your mail box clean and in good repair. The car rier has not time to repair it.

WHAT IS A DOLLAR WORTH?
War Savings Worker Shows It Will
 Buy More in Five Years.


 One of the telling points being made by W. R. Jackson of Mexico Mo, Director for Audrain County, ir his address before War Savings soci cities, is the statement of the value of a dollar today as compared with wha' it will be worth five years hence when the present series of War Say ings Stamps mature.
 ''The dollar saved today will b, worth more than $1.50 then" he said "Of course 1 refer to the buying pow CT of the dollar The conditions that exist now will have disappeared bS that time, and the normal will have returned All authorities on econom- ies agree that present prices cannot be maintained and that the dollars oi 1924 will go much further, as a pur- chasing medium, than the dollars spent today.
 History repeats itself. The value of all staples immediately following 2 war have always been extremely high and these values have steadily de clined as business conditions readjust themselves"
 The argument is sound and the sav- CT of War Savings Stamps may reas. onably expect a much greater return than the interest of four per cent compounded quarterly. which is as. sured by the government.

Our merchants are feeling glad over the big trade that Cove is draw ing now, all because they advertise. Printers ink is one of the best in- vestments that a merchant can make It not only helps his own business, but it boosts his town and his coun- try.

The progressive farmers of today say: Let us buy from the merchant that advertises and sells his goods for a reasonable profit"

We have a splendid bunch of farm CTS in and around Cove, Vandervoort and Hatfield. They are getting more prosperous each year and we notice wonderful improvement.
