Just How The People
Of Lancaster Can
Hasten The Estab-
lishment OF Free
Delivery In The
City.

The Record has gone to some
trouble to ascertain just what Is de-
laying the establishment Of free mail
delivery within the city limits and the
following is the result Of that inves-
tigation:
II is considerable expense to the
government TO institute and maintain
free mail delivery. and it does not
and will not assume this expense un-
Ill il is fully satisfied that a very
large per cent Of the citizens Of the
community desire such service.
The proper way to inform the gov
eminent Of such desire upon our part
is to make the proper arrangements
to receive such service, !. e. have
your house numbered and put up a
proper receptacle for the care Of the
mail. As soon as this is done the
local postmaster will apprise the post
office department and the proper
steps will be taken to establish the
service.
The boxes have been going up very
slowly. and until much larger num-
Der than are already erected are
placed in a position il would be in
advisable for the matter to be taken
up. as the government does not de-
sire to establish such service until il
is appraised that a large percent Of
our people desire il.
YOU MUST ERECT A BOX BE-
FORE YOU CAN RECEIVE YOUR
MAIL BY CARRIER.
An article appearing in a recent
issue Of the Record would lead one
to infer that il was not necessary to
erect box in order to receive your
mail by carrier. such is not the case.
you must put up a box before you
can receive your mail as is clearly
shown by the following extract from
ruling Of the Fourth Asst. Post
master General:
"XXX any person recently taken
into the city delivery service should
not be favored with house to house
delivery Of their mail unless they
properly number their homes and
erect suitable private mail reeep-
tacles."
Postmaster Brown Is ready and
anxious to do everything in his pow
er to assist in the establishment Of
this service. but he can do nothing
without the cooperation Of the pub
lie in putting up boxes.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD
Tho Things Look Blue Now to
the Farmer He Will Rise Up

To the Editor of The Courier Jour
nal:The article in your paper publish

the way the writer throws bouquets at
our good editor is from the fact that
said writer might be contemplating
making a race for Office and wants
your vote or influence. Now the idea
of farmer looking to an editor for
directions or advice as to the mode of
running his farml / have always been
taught that If man needs any legal
work, done he should employ an at
torney. and il he is sick he should
send for a good doctor, and if he is
suffering with toothache he should go
to a dentist, and if he is thinking of
making a trip across the continent
he should ask the railroad man re-
garding it. But the way this fellow
talks, il you want to know anything
about farming" just ask some one
else besides farmer. Now, this writ
he said the farmer should have

seems to be the tendency to put farm
products down in price to where they
were many years ago, but that will
never be the case, for the rule of sup
ply and demand on the labor question
will never allow that to take place.
Back about forty years ago you
didn't find the country so filled with
railroads, all kinds of factories, rock
quarries and the great demand for
coal as we have today, and great
many other industries too numerous
to mention. All these things keep lab
or on the farm scarce. Senator T. B.
Reed said once that ito look over this
vast country and see it dotted with
its growing cities and towns makes
one know that the demand for farm
product will always cause good price
to prevail" l don't think the farmer
need feel too respondent over these
blue times, for things will naturally
work back to where they should be-
