MAIL IT EARLY.
That Applies to Gifts as Well as Do
Your Shopping Early.

"Do your Christmas shopping
early is the annual holiday refrain,
and now Postmaster A. K. Rodgers is
beseeching, do your Christmas mail
ing early, too"
There are always crowds and con-
fusion during the latter part of De-
cember in the postoffice; the result is
inevitable delay, far away friends re-
ceiving their Christmas packages in
time for a New Years gift.
"Christmas is not far Off" the post
master keeps repeating. 'Send your
packages early; put your name and
address in the upper lefthand corner;
write in ink and a legible hand. Be
sure to tie your packages well, close
and tight"
1t is permissible to write do not
open till Christmas on a parcel sent
several weeks ahead of the 25th. A
package sent in this way is sure to
arrive in time, and makes Christmas
an easier season for the busy en-
ployees at the postoffice.
