CONTEST NOW ON
AT P0STOFFICE
Postal Improvement Week Is
Under Way Here Today
Much Interest.

Postal Improvement Week start
| ed this morning at the local post
office. The contest is on for q
week between the public and the
postal employees to see which will
make the least errors.
Postmaster John S. Scott worked
out the idea for the contest. and
when it is over he is going to an
nounce some of the errors that
| were marked up during the week.
| The public is requested to report
all mistakes on the part of the SER
vice to Postmaster Scott in person,
or by letter. while the postal en-
ployes will keep check on the mis-
takes made by the public.
! According to those who work at
the postoffice the matter of incor-
rect and insufficient addresses and
the neglect in putting stamps on
letters and packages are the two
outstanding faults of the public.
1t is a wonder some business
houses ever get their mail from
some of their travelling men on the
road. it is said. Very often letter
comes to the local postoffice adj
dressed to some firm out of the city
bearing no stamp at all. The size
and general feel of the letter inGi-
cate that it contains orders. OF
course the letter can not go with
out a stamp and therefore there is
a. delay in transmission.
The public does not have much
idea Of the size of the postotfice as
"a national institution or the
amount of mail that is handled
Following are sas few facts Jand fig
ures compiled by \. G. Rollins Of
the local postoffice that should be
of interest to the public:
There are $3.50 postoffices In the
United States.
There are 326.ooo persons en-
ployed in the postal service.
There are 33,0OO,000 letters mail
cd each day in the United States
Last year over 2,000,00O.000 pieces
OF parcel post were handled.
approximately $4,000. 100000 post
age cards. 1,5oO, 100000 stamps and
2,75O, 100000 stamped envelopes are
sold each year.
It is said that 65.00O.00o postal
sacks are in use continually and it
takes 100000 yards of canvas
every year to tie the letters in to
packages: 10000 .0O0--postal money
orders are issued annually; the
postal savings system has nearly
100000 depositors: over $4,000
rural carriers leave postoffices
every morning to serve patrons in
the rural districts.
There seems to be a great
amount of interest in the Postal I'M
provement Week locally. and Post
master Scott stated this morning
that he thought he had the full CO
