TELL UNCLE SAM YOUR VACA
TON PLANS

Now comes the season when milk
bottles and unfolded newspapers clut-
ter around the door of our neighbor
who has gone on his vacation without
notifying the milkman and the news
boy to stop delivery. We indulge in
little smile Of superiority at the ex-
pense of our forgetful brother, although
we may do the same thing ourselves
next week, and perhaps a passing
yeggman may make a mental note OF
the address as a good place to visit on
some dark night in the near future.
There is another phase of the absen-
tees forgetfulness which is more tragic
than humorous in its consequences,
and that is the failure of the vaca-
ZIONIST to notify the post office where
to send his mail, SO that mail Of great
importance is held until he returns, or
is returned to writer, often with dis
tressing results.
This is also vacation time in the
postofice. Under the law, letter car
riers must be given fifteen days vaca-
ton, exclusive Of Sundays and holi-
days. But vacation or no vacation,
the mail must move and deliveries must
be4made. During the absence of the
carrier, delivery is made by substi-
tute who is often limited in experience
and may be wholly unfamiliar with the
district and those who live in it. I'm
der the best circumstances delivery IS
not an easy task for the experienced
carrier and when a substitute is sent
out on the district delivery is often
impossible, according to Postmaster
Arthur c. Lueder, because Of the fail
ure of patrons to cooperate with the
postofice BY providing a proper re-
ceptacle for their mail, with the name
Of the resident plainly shown above
the box. 1t is particularly desirable
that the names Of visitors, who expect
mail, shall be placed over the box dur
ing the period of their stay. The post
master says patrons can do a great
deal to expedite delivery and make a
hard, grinding task easier for, the sub
stitute by furnishing proper mail box
with the names plainly shown over it.
