The field OF labor for the Good
Fellows OF Paducah is not given over
TO the men alone. but the women and
even the children OF the city can
spread sunshine in many desolate
homes on Christmas morning. Last
Christmas. when the movement was
started in Paducah, several children
we're original Good Fellows. and
found as much happiness in their
giving 10 the poor as they did In
their own heaps of toys that old
Santa Claus contributed.
This Christmas promises 20 be
more joyful for the poor people OF
Padncah than II has been for many
years. The sentibent OF Paducah is
to make some family happy even II
just for the day. and TO make every
body feel that Christmas is a season
OF JOY. There are plenty of deserv-
ing families who need a little assist
ance on Christmas morning in order
that Santa Claus may not forget
their homes, and II Is important that
every loyal Good Fellow in the city

HUNTERS LEAVE
THEIR FOOTPRINTS
SEEKING PIGEONS AND STEP
THROUGH COURT ROOM
CEILING.

Hunters almost wrecked the cell
ing of the circuit court room at the
court house last night. 1t was not
with their guns but with their feet,
and they succeeded so well that
plasterers were required today to
repair the damage. The cupalo of
the court house is occupied by
pigeons as a home, and yesterday a
door on the second floor was left
unlocked accidentally. Lads are
suspected of the work, and last
night they slipped up in the attic
for the purpose of catching the
pigeons. In the darkness they
missed their footing. and several
holes were punched in the plaster
ing. From the appearance of the
holes one lad had a narrow escape
from falling to the floor of the
court room, but fortunately strad-
died one Of the joists.

REGISTER ENVELOPES
TO BE DISCONTINUED

After January /. according to an
announcement made today the use
OF registered packing envelopes for
registered mail will be stopped and
packages will be mailed as they are
sent in.
This change will mean a great
saving to the postoffice department
both in money and in time. Under
the present system the package
must be sealed in the envelope,
which is addressed stamped three
times. With the new system OF
stamping direct on the original
wrapper several minutes will be
saved In the preparation of each
piece of mail so sent.
The envelopes which have been
used In this work are especially
manufactured for this purpose form
an unusually good grade of paper
and well made, making them ex.

MAYOR SMITH ENFoRCEs LAW

Through a series OF circumstances,
resulting from ylolPtlons OF the
llquor laws and the consequent revo-
cation OF licenses by Mayor Smith,
the present saloon license ordinance
has automatically acted as a prohibit
tory measure, and unless wholesale
dealors or the general council come
10 the rescue, many OF the present
retail liquor houses are likely TO
close up the first OF the year.
Regardless Of the action OF the po-
Ice court. which has not always
proved efIicaclous In conyicting and
pun shlng violators OF the liquor laws,
Mayor smith has investigated charges
AGAINST saloonkeepers. and, where he
has been satisfied they were guilty,
he has promptlyrevo their licenses
