IF YOU WANT PRESENTS
TO GO RIGHT DO THIS
Postmaster General Issues Instructions for Mailing
Parcels for Christmas.

When ordinary stamps are used the
words Special Delivery" must be
placed directly under, but not on the
stamps.
10. Registered stamps are not
valid for the payment of postage, but
only to cover the fee on registered
matter.
Adhesive stickers, labels or seals,
such as the Red Cross Seals" which
do not resemble postage stamps in
form or design and do not bear num-
erals, may be affixed to the reverse
side of domestic mail matter.
OF the more than $1,000 parcels in
tended for holiday gifts that were sent
to the dead letter office last year
nearly 5000 were for delivery in for
eign countries, the senders having
neglected to place their addresses on
the wrappers or to affix the requisite
customs declarations, as required by
the several parcel-post conventions.
Nearly 10000 parcels were mailed
with insufficient stamps affixed. The
senders having failed to disclose their
addresses, the addresses were re-
quested to furnish the requisite
stamps and failing to do so, the mat
ter was sent to the dead letter office.
The senders of more than 3O,7O0
parcels could not be found, as they
were directed in such manner that
their proper destination could not be
ascertained.
If the held-for-postage, misdirected
and foreign addressed unavailable
parcels last year had borne the send
ers' card, at least $1,000 valuable
presents would have reached their
owners.

EGGS sent BY
The PARCELS POST
Test Made on Long Run
With Big Success

Washington, Dec. 17.-Shipment of
eggs through the mails has been
thoroughly tested under the regula-
tons prescribed by the Parcels Post
Commission.
Postmaster-Genera Hitchcock has
received from Oklahoma City, $500
miles away, crate of eggs through
the mails. The crate, which is of cor
rugated paper was placed in mail sack
with other mail matter, had a rough
trip and arrived safely here today,
with not an egg cracked.
The package was marked 'merchan-
disc" Each egg was packed in cotton
and laid in separate divisions, such as
are found in regular egg crates.
Chairman Robert S. Sharp, of the
Parcels Post Commission, recently
showed how strongly the corrugated
pasteboard egg crates are constructed.
He reached over to pile of different
makes of these boxes, picked up ono,
threw it on the floor and then jumped
on it with both feet. The box was not
damaged.
Mr.. Sharp said eggs can be shipped
anywhere in the United States through
the mails when packed in corrugated
paper or aluminium boxes.

u. S. is NOW
THIRD NAVAL POWER
Germany Takes the Place
Uncle Sam Held

New York, Dec. IA few months
ago Secretary of the Navy Meyer an
nounced that the days of the United
States as a second naval power of the
world were numbered unless the two
ships-a-year plan was maintained, and
that the time was not far distant
when this country would be still lower
The first part of the prophecy has
come true, and today the United
States has surrendered second place
to the German Navy which now leads
that of the United States by approx
mately $4,000 tons, with a certainty of
increasing it's lead by more than 1907
600 tons in the near future
The figures which tell the story of
Germany's advance to second place
have just been compiled in the Office
of the Naval Intelligence Bureau, in
the Navy Department at Washington.
The information, it is stated, was COM
piled in order to answer the frequent
inquiries of societies and persons
throughout the country.
The tables tell their own story. They
show the completed tonnage Of the
navy of each of the great powers as

CRISP COMMISSIONERS ARE
FACING AN INJUNCTION
If They Approve Bill For SLID Today
For Building Dam, an Injunction
viii be Asked For.

Cordele, Dec. 17.-If the board of
county commissioners of Crisp county
and committee from the grand jury
approve bill of $1,175 expended I'M
de a contract between the county
commissioners and w. H. and Seymour
Byron for building a dam across Gum
creek at Daphne action will be taken
Immediately by prominent lawyers and
other citizens to enjoin the payment Of
this money to Messrs. Byron.
Byron Brothers form corpo: alton
and conduct an immense grist mill at
Daphne. The dam that backed up
Gum creek to run their mill was
broken several months ago, washing
away bridge on a public road i'm
mediately below the dam which was
owned by the county. The county
commissioners made a contract with
the Byroms, in view of the fact that
the road lead through lands belonging
to the Byroms, to assume the expense
of rebuilding the dam in the public
road, doing away with the bridge. The
total expense incurred on the county
for the dam to date is s1,775, $500 of
which the commissioners have already
approved and paid to the corporation
under whose charge the dam was be-
ing built.
Learning of the transaction, and
charging that the commissioners were
spending the county's funds chiefly in
the aid of corporation, citizens rails
ed objections. A committee from the
grand jury was Immediately appointed
to confer with the commissioners in
making an investigation.

Postmaster General Hitchcock re-
ceived more than $1,000 involuntary
/ Christmas presents last year
through the dead letter office-and he
wants to reduce that number material
/ ly this year. AS one step toward less
ening the disappointment of many per-
sons who expected but did not re-
ceiye presents, the postmaster general
has issued the 10 commandments of
gift-sending through the mails. These
are his suggestions:
l. Postage on all matter should be
fully prepaid. Packages not fully pre-,
paid win be held for postage.
2. All packages should be fully
and plainly addressed, including street
and number or number of rural route.
3. The sender's name and address
should be placed in the upper left
hand corner of the envelope or wrap
per to insure return if not delivered.
4. AL man ll1dllCI CllOulu no
curely packed and wrapped so as to
bear transmission without breaking.
Matter other than that of the first
class must be so wrapped that the
contents may be examined easily.
When not SO wrapped the first-class
postage rate will be charged.
5. Packages of third and fourth
class matter may bear, in addition to
the names and addresses of the send
ers and the addresses, a written des-
ignation of the contents, a simple in
scription, not in the nature of per-
sonal orrespondence-the words
Merry Christmas" Happy New
Year" with Best Wishes or DO not
open until Christmas" or words to
that effect.
6. Packages should be prepaid,
wrapped and addressed before being
presented for mailing, and should be
deposited as early in the day as pos
sible.
Z. All valuable letters and parcels
should be registered.
ESPECIAL delivery of mail by mes
senger may be obtained by placing on
any letter or package a special deliv-
cry stamp or 10 cents in ordinary
stamps in addition to the postage.
