POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK IS OBSERVED
May | Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

without the Postal Service, business
would languish in day, and be at d
standstill in q week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow -mindedness thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and it comes nearer to the
innermost interests Of greater num-
Der Of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private bust
ness, however widespread, touches SO
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
fiutters so many pulses, has SO many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations.
"PostaI Improvement Week" has
been set for May /, by the Postmaster
General This is the first general cam
paign of it's kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users or
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiza-
ton Of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
of interest in postal improvements.
Your help is vital. Address your let
ters plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
Of State, don't abbrevate. Put your
return address in the upper left hand
corner of envelope (not on the bacs<)
and always look at your letter before
dropping In the mail to see ifsit 10
properly addressed. This care In tho
use of the mails is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
Of mail matter.
If you have any complaints OF poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He has instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.

T H A NIX YOU
WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL is DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been In
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers, atlantic Coast" and ex-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address In
letters up in the garnet, maybe chest
full of 'em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y, or Chicago, Ill, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which Is
just as incomplete as was Zekes ad-
dress of yore The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street in the address. 1t helps you.

tered 10 herself, her eyes wide with
surprise and delight. She knew New
York was big---the boarders had said
so, and the sunday papers that oc-
caslonally drlfted TO the Corners had
been treasured, and the supplements,
picture and magazine sections
conned over until worn out. But
neither the buarders nor the news
papers had given her any idea of the
rush and hustle of the hurrylng
crowd.
when she emerged from the sta
tion. she stood stlll. dazed, almost
| frightened. Her brave little heart
quickened It's beats, and her cheeks
| flushed with excitement. such wide
streets, people dashtng madly to and

| street cars and automobiles, that
seemed inoxtricably tangled up one
minute only to go gayly on their
| separate ways the next.
She saw signs Rooms for Rent"
even as she stood gazing at the un-

Of going blindly into a roomin6
house. She had heard the dangers
OF New York discussed by the trav-

gaining a scolding from Miss Carter
! because she fingered overlong when
serving. No indeed, she would ask

her where TO go.

had been addressed TO him.
