There is lots of trouble on a mail route where the mail carrier is requesting the patrons to get the boxes just so.  We not e one man has a No. 1 box, just as good as there is anywhere on the route.  His mail was left in the post office for several days while mail for people with a good deal worse boxes is delivered.  The people all should get a government box and key and lock their box, then on a cold winter day set in the window and watch the mail man deliver mail.  If it is a law on one side, it certainly is on the other.  There never was any trouble with the old main man. A U. S. mail job is nothing to get the big head over.
