Warming
Issued By Government About
Christmas Packages

Washington, Oct, 26-The first Of
fetal note of the approach of Christ
mas appeared today when the postof-
fee department issued a warning to
all postmasters that Portugal, Guate-
mala and Uruguay refused to admit
their mail articles bearing non-pos-
tage Christmas stamps or other adhe-
sive charity stamps or labels. Portu-
gals objection, however, Is limited to
such stamps as resemble regular pos
tage stamps.
Other countries, such as Great Brit
ian, Germany, British East Africa and
host of British dependencies, will
admit articles bearing such stamps
when the stamps are affixed to the re-
verse and not on the address side.
The postal officials announce that ar
ticles liable to be refused admittance
| to the countries mentioned will not
be forwarded from the United States,
but will be returned to the persons
mailing them.
Incidentally the department has is
sued the usual annual caution that to
avoid delay in handling articles bear
ing Christmas stamps to be trasmitted
in the internationals, the covers OF
such articles should bear the full
name and address of the senders.

story upon photographic records and
while she takes her ease the machines
recite Iowa history.

JUDGE OvERRuLES
OPINION BY BYERS
Decides That Ballots With
Pastors and Squares Must
Be Thrown Out.


Des Moines, la. June 22.-Attorney
General Byers received notice this
morning that Judge Anderson, in court
at Abba, had decided contrary to the
attorney generals opinion as to the
legality Of having squares printed on
the pastors which We're used at the pri-
mary for names of precinct delegates.
Anderson held in an injunction case
from Lucas county that all ballots on
which these squares used We're illegal
and must be thrown out The action
was brought by standpatters to gain
control of the Lucas county convention
where the progressives had large ma
1ority. Byers rendered an opinion two
years ago to the effect that there was
no objection to squares being printed
on the pastors and his office rendered
an informal opinion in accordance with
this for the benefit of Il large number
of counties on election day. 1t is known
that in many places the standpatters
had their pastors printed in the same
manner.
