EXPECT XMAS RUSH
TO BEGIN TONIGHT
Holiday Hurry at Hammond
Postoffice Is Due This
Evening.

The holiday rush in the Hammond
postoffice is due to begin this even
ing. Thus far the amount of mail has
not been much larger than the or
binary. little extra mail has, of
course, been picked up right along dur
ing the past few days. but from now on
the "swamping' will begin. The de-
partment will not only be taxed in
handling larger outgoing mail. but
also have to take care of the incoming
Christmas mail That will be due
about Monday morning. BY Tuesday it
is expected that the deliveries will be
so heavy that the carriers Will be
able to make but one delivery a day.
Practically the entire postoffice de-
partrnent will be at work on Christmas
Day. That is one day in the year when
Uncle Sans men have no semblance
of a holiday. The carriers are started
out early in the morning with the
heaviest mail of the year and prac-
ticany their entire day will be taken
UP in making one delivery.
Because the Christmas business is not
expected to begin until this evening,
the local postoffice department is not
yet in a position to make a compari-
son of the amount of business for this
year, as compared to former years.

HOWARD
PAROLEO
MONDAY

Wilmer Howard. a Hammond boy,
whose parents reside on ssohl street, is
expected to arrive home Monday with
the finest Christmas gift that any one
could have given him-his liberty and
parole from the Jeffersonville reforma-
tory.
Young Howard owes his release
primarily to good fellow" who in
terceded In his behalf before Governor
Marshall, who granted the pardon, and
DR.. Peyton. the superintendent of the
reformatory, and it is question today
as to who is happier the good fellow
or the young man whom he aided. The
former is Attorney d. Z. Boone, who
has the satisfaction of knowing that
he has been instrumental in bringing
real Christmas cheer into a home and
in giving young man a new lease
on life. Some things cannot be bought
or paid for in money, and this sense of
satisfaction is one of the things that a
Hammond man contributed to the sea-
son, when everything should be peace
on earth and good will to men"
An effort to interview the Hammond
! attorney on the subject was almost
futile, as he was reluctant to speak
about his part in the case, but others
who are acquainted with the facts
| know that he was not prompted by a
| monetary motive, for he sacrificed time
| and money to gain the young man s
! liberty.
Il will say this" said Mr. Boone to a
TINES reporter. that young Howard is
/ deserving of the pardon. and Superin-
tendent Peyton OF the reformatory is
| one of the grandest men it has been
| plasure to meet"
| Pleads with Governor Marshall.
| About a year ago Howard got into
! bad company and it was not long after
| until he found himself in trouble
charged with being an accomplice OF
| young man named Hayes, who had
/ taken money from the safe of Sam Car
! ley. Howard pleaded guilty and he
and Hayes were given term of from
two to fourteen years. 1t was the
first time that Howard had received
a black mark against his record and
| upon arriving at the reformatory, he
began to make a good record. After
eight months had elapsed he was IL
line for parole. and Attorney Boone
| took up his case He first went t.
Jeffersonville and from there he wen
to indianapolis to plead with Governor
| Marshall. Those who have heard the
! Hammond lawyer play on the chord O
sympathy believe that he pictured t,
the executive cheerless home in Ham
| mond on Christmas eve, and that h
put on the details with true artist
touch. He got results from the gov
ernor and went back to Jeffersonvill
to confer with the superintendent. To
day telegram was received announc
ing that the young man will be hon
Monday.
