PARCEL POST BUSY
HELPING SANTA CLAUS
Post Office Kept Busy These Days
Carrying Christmas Gifts.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
POstmasie, Randall Cautions Senders
About Careless Packing.

That the parcel post has come to
stay is evidenced bv the long line of
persons now seen vending their way
daily to the city postoffice la len with
packages Of every size and descrip-
tion.
Inside the building two clerks are
busy receiving and weighing the out
going gifts and occasionally expediC-
ing the business by doing all the nec-
esssry stamp licking. Much delay
is occasioned by persons who have
failed to obey the simple rules apply
ing TO this class of mail. Particular
ly is this true as to insured parcels
which require an insurance tag filled
out with the declaration of the sender
as to its value. The insurance rates
are cents for insurance up to S25
and 10 cents up to $50, very small
premium to pay for the security
offered.
Again, the de partment's rule as to
the name of the sender being placed
in the upper left hand corner is gen.
orally disregarded, and he puts his
name on any other part of the pack
age, causing loss of time and some-
times loss of the package itself
Again, parcels are insecurely wrap
ped and tied and as a result empty
their contents into the mail sack in
transit to their destination. Every
day articles of value are found which
have little chance of Identification.
Today, on the postmsster's desk a
gold ring, piece of money and a
small portion of an electrical appli-
ance can be seen awaiting claimants
or some possible means of identified
tion b sfOre their final journey to the
Dead Letter Office. To handle the in
creased busin sss the local office is
employing its full quota of clerks
and carriers and the heavier parcels
for local distribution are being de-
livered by wagon.
The only thing that mars the peace
and order of the establishment are
the deserted babies left in baby car
riages around the front steps and
pet dogs dragged in through the re-
volving doors at the risk of their
lives, but these things will have to
be, seeing that the postoffice de-
partment has not yet reached the
point when it can provide a creche
for the deserted babies or a pound
for the domestic pets.

Nc spirit oi ths ChIistmas season

The spirit of the Christmas season
struck Annapolis with a rush today.
The day being Saturday, and the
last Saturday before the greatest of
the years holidays, country folks
came to town in large numbers to
make their purchases of Christmas
gifts as we'll as TO gather in a supply
of good things for the festive occs-
sion
1t was a real holiday crowd that
made it's way back and forth along
the business streets of the city, and
the merchants, many of whom have
hitherto complained of this being the
dullest Christmas season in years.
were kept busy throughout the day
supplying the needs of their custo-
ers. The stores and that means in
all all lines of trade, seemed to be
doing big business. Mary of the
country people from the lower sec
tions OF the county made the trip to
the city by the West river steamer,
while dozens of others living within a
radius of ten miles or more, drove
in. Incidentally, they brought many
turkeys to town.
In most cases turkeys retailed at
25 cents per pound, though some
found ready sale for the fowl at the
price of 2S cents. The display of
green's, consisting of Christmas trees,
holly, running cedar and crow foot,
fresh from the woods, furnishes an
even stronger touch of the approach
of the holiday. The supply is plenti-
full, and there is lots OF mistletoe,
too.
Those who had the greens on sale
about the market, or huckstering
along the streets, found no difficulty
in disposing of it. Wreaths, either
of holly alone, or a combination of the
other greens, brought prices that
ranged with the various sizes and
designs. The same was true with
Christmas bushes.

Work DOne-60O Stockings
Filled.

With good cheer and the real
Christmas spirit, the Empty Stock
ing Club completed its work yester-
day and filled six hundred "empty
stockings"
These stockings were those OF
poor children in Annapolis, at East
port--for despite the claim that
there are mo poor people at East
port" there were found many poor
children whose stockings at Chris :
mas would have been empty
had it not been for the Empty
Stocking Club. Stockings az
West Annapolis, st. ssMargaret's, s,
South River, West River and other
parts of the county, were filed,
and filled bountifully.
Much credit is due to Miss Adele
Randall, chairman of the Empty
Stocking CLUB, and the committee of
ladies who helped her and who work
ed long and faithfully in this splendid
cause. The Empty Stocking Club
wish to thenk those who contributed
money, candy. dolls, toys and gifts
of all kinds and who loaned carriages,
wagons and automobiles for the col
lection and distribution of these
gifts.
The work is finished and The
Capital says with the entire commu-
nifty God Bless the Empty Stocking
