Anticipating that the mails during the
Christmas holidays will be burdened with
a great volume of parcel post packages
and that only by the cooperation of the
public with the officials of the postal

early. For local delivery they should be
mailed not later than December % and

sible but in any event in time to reach
the offices of destination at least two
days prior TO Christmas.
Christmas gifts sent by mail should be
wrapped securely. The containers or

withstand the necessary handling incident
to transportation and delivery.
Precautions Against Breakage.
Glassware, crockery, Christmas toys
easily breakable. glass-framed pictures.
etc. should be carefully packed in boxes
of metal. wood. leather or corrugated
pasteboard, with sufficient excelsior, raw
cotton or similar matter to prevent the

any portion of the box. These parcels
should be marked Fragile" Postmas-
ters will refuse to accept for mailing
packages that are insecurely prepared.
Parcels should be addressed plainly.
I ne addresses should be complete and

ture an effort was made to create a new
county in the delta with Belzoni as
the county site. The bill failed to pass.
1t is generally known that an attempt
VIII be made to pass similar bill at the
next legislature. According to charges
and cOunter-charges published from time
to time in Mississippi papers. efforts have
been made to pave the way for passage
of the bill. Detectives We're employed and

The Logic of SHOW Me-

Star Business Opportunities show in re-
suits the value of The Star as newspaper
that begets conhdence-the paper to read,
to study and to profit thereby. The whole
logic of a newspapers value lies in the con-
hdence it inspires. The Business Oppor-
tunities are more or less the Columns of EX-
change Some want to change from one
business to another-some seek opportunl-
ties to establish for themselves or to add a
side line. These little ads are the keys TO
business improvement. You will find nu-
merous announcements worth reading on
the classified pages of today's Star, and
