U. S. Postal Guide
Veritable Book of Adventure Tells of Peculiarities
And Idiosyncrasies of a Hundred (Centuries
Reached by Our Postal Service. '
By A. R. GRO
Romance and adventure are in the
United States postal ysterh for h'm
who has imagination.
The distribution of mail bya clerk
may seem as far removed from ro
mance and adventure as the moon
from the earth. , 1
But think! With every letter and
pnekage addressed to a foreign, land
he can feel the thrill of travel.
The new issue of the. United.
States postal guide, just out, is a vol
ume of romance which reaches, out
to the palmy shores of. Aden, Abys
sinia, Harrar, the Balearic Islands,
Touamotou and up to the iqe-boiwd
slopes of Greenland, Iceland, Alaska
and the North Polar regions.- '
There are 850 pages of fine print
in this book of adventure, nearly
200 of them devoted to the peculiari
ties and idiosyncresies of a hundred
countries regarding all imaginable
kinds of merchandise and letters un
der the sun.

States, from Fishbite, Ky., to New
York City, is listed. And you can
'find that the salary ' of the postmas
ter of New York City is $8,000 a
year; of Omaha, $6,000; Lincoh.,
Nb $6,000; Grand Island, $3,600.
Postmasters in little places like
Springfield,. Papillion, Rulo arid
Valey get from $1,300 to $1,900 a
year, milch more in proportion to
their responsibilties than the Nasbys
in the large cities. ,
Nearly 200 pages of the guide are
used . in. telling the endless postal
regulations and the peculiarities of
?very country, large and 'small in
;he globe-reaching Postal union.
You can send a letter, paper or
piece of merchandise to Canada,
Cuba, Mexico, Republic of Panama
or the United States Postal agency
in Shanghai, China, for the same
postage as you can send it to Coun
cil Bluffs or Papillion. '
