An Ohio paper, the Buckeye Inform
or, hits the nail ON the head when II
remarks that 9TH" best way in which
the merchants in the towns and smaller
cities can fight the mail order business
Is to advertise. They know most of
their patrons personally, can show
them the goods before they buy them,
have many other advantages over the
mail order house and In almost every
Instance can sell just rs cheap if not
cheaper. If the home merchant lacks
foresight and is too pcnurious to adver-
tise his goods. why should the publisher
exert himself to keep the trade at home
for him?"

provided in the palace and handsome
prizes will be awarded the best
marksmen in the various events.
Great interest attaches to the
match for teams representing high
schools, which is open to all such in
situations in the United States. This
match was arranged to carry out the
project of the government for edu-
eating citizens in Workmanship.
Members of the National board have
agreed that the best place to begin
Is in the high schools and colleges of
the land, so that students may be-
come proficient in the use Of the rifle
and be ready to come to the defense
of their country should it be threat
ened by foreign foe.
So far congress has made no finan-
cial provision for carrying on the
training work, so the Rifle Associa-
ton of America has made provision
for rifle clubs for schools, divided
into two classes-from colleges and
universities, and from high schools,
preparatory schools, academies, pri-
vate and military institutions The
shoot at the Forest, Fish and Game
show comes under the provisions of
the latter class, and most of the con-
testing teams will represent the high
schools of eastern cities and towns
The cooperation of the Athletic
League of the New York public
schools has been secured and the
metropolitan marksmen will do their
best to defend the title against the
young riflemen from other places.

HEAVY SANTA CLAUS MAIL
Ruling of POstofice Department
Causes Increase.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-As a re-
suit of the order of the postofice de-
partmept allowing the delivery of so
called Santa Claus letters to phil
anthropic societies and others in var
ious parts of the country, the mails
are being flooded with appeals 10
st. Nicholas. In past years all Santa
Claus communications deposited in
the mails have been sent to the dead
letter office, His sympathy for the
children of the poor, who are the
principal correspondents of Santa
Claus, caused Postmaster General
Meyer to adopt a more liberal atti-
tude this year and to order that such
letters be delivered to responsible So
cities or individuals who asked for
them. Reports from various large
cities state that an unprecedented
number of letters addressed to Santa
Claus are now being mailed and that
the activity of the correspondents is
probably due to Mr.. Meyers order.
If it is found that a considerable
number of dishonest or unworthy
persons have sought to take advan-
tage of the order. it is unlikely that
the experiment will be repeated next
year. The postmaster generals or
der is effective only to January / and
after that date all Santa Claus letters
will again be sent to the dead letter
office.
