The Postoffice Department has raised
the ban on Santa Claus mail, after all.
Resembling a recent decision, Postmaster
General Hitchcock on Thursday directed
that any lettsrs addressed to "Santa
Claus" may be delivered to charitable
organizations or benevolent persons that
ask for them, instead of having such
mail returned to the senders or destroyed.
Mr.. Hitchcock said be did not think the
practice of delivering "Santa Claus"
mail would lead to abuses, as was feared
by some of the officials of the Department.
The many poor children who can be
pleased with happy Christmas in this
way, he declared, makes the Departments
handling OF the mail worth while.
Following the decision several years
ago by Judge Criswell, of Franklin, de-
claring Conneaut lake public water,
Judge Thomas J. Prather, of Crawford
county, Saturday handed down similar
decision in the case of the Canadohta club
declaring Canadohta or Oil Creek lake, in
Bloomfield township, navitable and pub
lie water. The costs are placed on the
prosecuting club, composed principally
of Titusville men. For years the Cana
dohta club has protested against the use
of the lake by outsiders, claiming that the
lake and surrounding land were the
property of the club, under lease from T
B. Kennedy and others, and that clut
members alone had access to the lake
and that other persons using the lake
were trespassing. This decision opens
the lake to the public once more and tC
the fishermen and pleasure seekers.
Now here's good horse-o hen-senst
from the Oil City Blizzard, and we'll as
sure Br'er Bowen the presidency of thu
next farmers institute in this place |
he'll come up and undertake the job
Hear him: I'VE do not understand th,
psychology of the hen. She seems {
simple and innocent thing, but the fai
minded observer must concede that sh,
incites to depravity. The fisherman, III,
hunter, the politician, the amateur gardi
ner are not in it when it comes to un
blushing aud mendacious preyarications
with the owner of hens. With eggs A
cents a dozen, and hens engaged in th
process of getting up an entire new sui
of feathers, along comes one Of these i'm
aginative persons and declares that his o
her, for there is no sex in this matter
hens have been laying without day
vacation for year. This tale must TAX
its place with that other gentle but dan
gerous statement about the low cost O
food for hen. The truth lies somewher
between the statements of pessimist an,
optimist. One says that every egg cost
more than the market price, whateve
the price may be, aud the other stoutl
declares that fortune is lying in tn
small henyard at the back of the house
Why not be accurate and honest? Egg
are a valuable concentrated food an
actually worth their full cost no doub
But they are the product OF industry o
the part of the hen and skill in feeding
and care ing on the part of the owner
and this price is exacted without any let
up"
