der, Writes Letter to His
Many Patrons

Good Thunder, November 10
Having in mind the betterment Of the
highways, Postmaster Frank Griffin
of this place sent copies OF the fol-
lowing letter to those residing on the

Dear Patron: A recent ruling of

Washington by the postmaster. In
ing can but feel that they viii meet
with full approval and most kind
CO. operation.
"At this time my inspection relates
almost entirely to boxes; their condi-
ton. their location, their defects.
Fully 80 per cent OF these boxes DO
not meet requirements In all partic-
lars and It Is up to US to make the
corrections. For the present am
boxes that are not OF approved stan
dard, but future changes or correc-
tions must absolutely meet require
ments.
"As much pride should be felt in
the appearance of the mail Lox as in
tle general surroundings-in fact
more so. 1t is the first approach to
your home, to your private life. Do
we Judge you rightly II the box be
broken, run down in appearance, I'M
painted, stuck in a mud hole, or sur
rounded by weeds. The rural service
necessitates tie use OF such box and
prominent position to the front Of
your home Do passers by comment
as follows: Guess Old Brown Is
about all in Yes Bills sure gone to
seed It's worse inside Mary's some
locker See Long Tom, he's on the
pension list There's an outlaw,
Pete's kept busy watching the moon
snlne.'
"And SO it goes, yet little labor,
a little paint, some pride, tle spirit
excel" aid the mail box at least
will tell a different tale.
I'VE are business associates in the
greatest enterprise going and our
duty Is to keep up our end, which
means suitable boxes and good roads.
Don't be back number, let's all pull
together and In this way make the
service bigger and better. Thanking
you kindly, 1 am, with sincere PEI
