ABOUT YOUR I t B3X
AN IDEA. IF CARRIED OUT. WILL
HELP M IL CARRIERS
Mr. Johnson, the postmaster, along
with the Postal Department, »are
sponsoring the idea of better mail
boxes and mail box stands.
They are out taking pictures of the
boxes before they were put into good
condition and after and there is quite
a contrast.
Perhaps you have no
ticed, when you were out taking that
“Sunday Spin’’ the unsightlyness of
some of the mail boxes, and how
well others looked. Also the differ
ence it made in the corner or road
side where they were all found up in
good shape.
The government spends a great deal
of money during the year to get the
mail distributed properly and the
owners of those delapidated boxes
should see to it that his box is stand
ing up straight and at the right
height. Where there is a number of
boxes all together the owners should
get together and put them on a plank
with a post at each end so that they
will all be the same height and
easy to get to by the Rural Mail car
rier. This would be inexpensive and
would Improve the looks of many
corners and roaside. It will not only
help your carrier but show the peo
ple that pass by your mail box that
you not Only appreciate the fact that
the government spends this large sum
of money each year for your bene
fit but that you are willing to do your
part in helping them to keep it up
and improve it in any way that it
is possible. Mr. Johnson is more
than willing to give you any sugges
tions and advice in this matter at
any time and is anxious to see every
box standing on a firm foundation
and upright and not leaning away
over to one side and about ready to
fall over and hard to get to. We fee)
sure that if you put your box up in
the proper shape that you will fee
proud every time you go to get your
mail, that your box is not ready to
fall over.
There is a number of tourist tha‘
pass these boxes every year and let
us have them say “that they saw thf
best upkept mail boxes when the;
passed through the state of Oregor
and especially the Er stern part ot
Clackamas County."
Mr. Johnson wishes to state for
your own infevmation that the box
should bo four feet in height and
leaning just a trifle to the road so
that the carrier can drive up and
see into the box quickly and easily
He also expects to send in his re
port in the next three weeks and ir
endeavoring to have the best repori
for the state of Orogon. The roads
on the the routes are said to be ir
exceptionally good condBion due tc
the fact that the road trustees are
putting forth their best efforts to
bring this ahout.

NUMBER 42
LOVE
Fame may come in a dozen ways,
Wealth is found in a score of
trades,
Every art to its genius pays.
Skill has various ranks and grades,
But soon or late we all come to know,
Love is the same for the high and
low.
Man finds love in a woman’s eyes;
Something tender and sweet and
true,
Be he foolish or be he wise,
Sends him out ih the world to Woo.
A certain woman must whisper “yess”
If love ie to crown him with hap
piness.
And Whether the maid be d a r k or
fair,
Pretty of face or plain to See,
If love abide with the m ated pair,
None in the world Can happier be;
For rich or poor it is all the same,
Love c an exist without w ealth or
fame.
Honor and love have no degrees,
Richer than others a man may be;
Fame has limits and boundaries,
There are rank and caste on land
and sea,
But who is welcomed by love at night
Has all that maketh a king’s heart
light.

The world marvels at the growth of
the American telephone system.
Nothing has done more to put tele
phones in practically every American
home, than advertising.
Government owned telephone sys
tems in Europe see no need for ad
vertising. The taxpayer has to covei
deficits, and there is no incentive for
officials to maintain a growing tele
phone business and pay dividends to
hundreds of thousands of stockhold
ers.
To show why the American system
grows, it is only necessary to read
some of the advertising of local tele
phone companies. A good illustra
tion is advertising appearing in Mary
land newspapers during a recent
month.
* V
One advertisement appealed to the
young person at school to ring up the
folks at home and keep up the person
al contact. Another, pointed out the
cheer that is brought to parents when
their young people who have gone out
in different walks of life, make a
little “phone visit” instead of mere
ly trusting to an occasional letter.
Y’et another, suggested that a young
person away from home, when con
fronted by problems, gets comfort
and help by ringing up the home for
advice.
All the advertising had the human
touch and appealed to every member
of every family. The American tele
phone system grows an« gives the
best and cheapest service in the
world, largely as the result of con
tinuous and intelligent advertising.
