Receptacles or Slots
for Mail or Report
Must Be Made

A Boston paper has recently stated
that on March /. service in deliver
ing mail will be discontinued to all
houses where the order of the post
office department.. that boxes or slots
shall be provided has not been
obeyed.
Postmaster John G. Arnold of this
city said yesterday in regard to this.
that this statement is not warranted.
He stated that he mail would not be
discontinued but that those who had
not provided the boxes or slots. will
be reported to the post office depart
ment for final decision.
The following letter which has been
sent from the Augusta post Office to
those who have not complied with
the request of the post Office depart
ment will explain this matter:
Dear Postal Patron:
There is a general recognition of
the mutual advantage to the carrier
and to the postal patrons Of having
at dwellings, either n door slot or a
mail box ready for the immediate re-
ceipt of mail as the carrier arrives.
With desire to expedite delivery
the Postmaster General under date of
August 25, 1922, issued an order con-
corning the free delivery OF mail at
residences. That this order is rea-
sonable and mutually advantageous
is evidenced by the fact that before
the order was issued about 20 per
cent of the dwellings in the country
having free delivery service had been
thus equipped. Since the order was
issued. very large majority of the
remaining 80 per cent have complied.
In Augusta there are less than 100 of
the total number of dwellings where
mail receptacles have not been pro-
vided.
Where patrons prefer to come to
the post office for their mail rather
than erect box or cut slot in the
door. the department permits the
privilege. 1t is not the purpose Of the
General to deprive any
one of the use Of the mail0 but rath-
err to perfect an efficient system so

Bates Smashes the
Colby Sextet Heavily
in Fast Puck-Chase
Especial to Kenncbcc JournaO


Waterville. Feb. 2s.-On an ice sur
face that would have made a better
! swimming pool than a rink. the Bates
; hockey team trimmed the Colby sextet
this afternoon by a score Of 6-1. The
game was Bates from the first shrill
Of the whistle. Colby never having
! look-in.
The first period belonged to Roberts.
From the drop of the puck he caught
it on the end Of his stick and before
the period was over had Gagged two
counters. In the next period the Colby
puck chasers kept the invaders down
TO one point, making the score 80 at
the end Of the period.
The third saw Bates, but not Colby.
! This was the fastest part of the game
with the Bates men getting as many
as they did in the first and second Pc
RODS combined.
/ 1t is very seldom that the goal tend
er is noticed except when the puck
! goes through his goal. but today the
name of Batten was on the lips of all
who saw him play. He was in the
game every minute. stopping them on
the ice as we'll as in the air. Not only
did he save the Bates team today from
much closer score, but all during the
season he has figured in the victories
of his team and is without doubt all
State goal tender.
Colby was away off form and was no
match for her opponents at any time
| during the contest. Lack of practice.
! due to poor ice. may have been the rea-
| son, or else the fact that Bates had
| won the championship of the State be-
, fore the game started had something
| to do with the outcome.
| The man who kept his team from
! being whitewashed was Vale. He was
all over the ice and got his one goal in
the third period. The summary:
