POSTAL SERVICE GROWTH.

The average person who wishes to communicate by letter with a friend or & business house seals the envelope, s.ffixes a sta mp, drops the epistle In a mail box and proceeds on his way, confident that the message will reach It's destination on schedule time. This confidence Is born of the knowledge that Uncle Sam has been In the post office business since late In the eight eenth century.
 In a pamphlet of historical data compiled by the Post Office Depart ment at Washington the growth of our mail system is outlined in a man. ner bound to bring home with great force the conveniences offered by the department today. Benjamin Frank lin was selected the first postmaster general by the Continental Congress in 1776 but the first postmaster-ge eral under the Constitution was Sam uel Osgood of Massachusetts, who served in that capacity during Wash ington's administration. The office did not become a cabinet post until 1929 MT. Burleson, the incum bent, is the forty-thir postm ster- general.
 It is a far cry from the old post rider to the present day airmail serv- ice which has been found to be feasi- ble although it has not been entirely successful. The riders made the trip between New York and Washington in about fifteen hours, using relays of fast horses. An airplane recently covered the distance between the two cities in two hours.
 There are now 54,345 post offices throughout the United States; in 17oO the number was 75.
