 By direction of the Post Office De- partment, postmastes throughout the county have recently made an in- spection of the rural routes from their offices.
 It is the desire of the Department, and its purpose, to provide adequate and convenient service, so far as may be possible, to all persons, re- siding in rural communities, but this end can not be attained without the full cooperation of the patrons in the efforts of the postmaster and carriers to serve them promptly, regularly and satisfactorily.
 Whatever facilities the work of the carrier is of direct benefit to the patrons, for the greater the ease and speed with which a carrier may cover his route, the earlier and better the service afforded.
 So, patrons of rural delivery can greatly help themselves by helping their carrier, seeing to it that roads are kept in good condition and promptly opened after storms, by keeping the approaches to their boxes clear, and by promptly and willingly correcting any irregularities affecting their boxes when asked to do so.
 Another great assistance that pa irons can render carriers is by keep ing themselves supplied with and us- ing stamps, instead of placing un- stamped mail, with money for the purchase of the required postage, in the boxes.
 This delays the carrier and some times imposes great hardship on him, especially in cold or stormy weather. If preferred, stamped en- velopes, either printed or plain, may be obtained from the carrier, are of good quality, and cost but little more than the value of the stamps upon them, and are redeemable at the value of the stamps if damaged, but returned in a practically whole con- dition. If necessary to place money in box, it should be put in a coin holding receptacle or be properly wrapped so as to be easily picked up by the carrier.
 Money for the purchase of money orders should not be left in the boxes, but should be handed to the carrier and receipt obtained.
