No More Pennies
in Mail Boxes

Postmaster General Blakes-
lee has issued a lefinite order
against the placing of pennies
loose in rural free delivery
boxes. The order is dated No
vember 5th, and is in part as
follows: "Postmasters at the
rural delivery offices and rural
carriers are directed to bring
to the attention of patrons that
it is the desire of the depart
ment that all first class mail
deposited in rural mail boxes
shall be stamped before being
deposited" This is an order
that should have been issued in
the bulletin issued by the post
office department regarding de-
livery. We are pleased to note
that the democratic administra-
ton is doing some things the
republicans either forgot or
were afraid to do. People
should stamp their letters be-
fore placing them in the boxes.
Any other way is unfair to the
carriers.

Mrs. w. II. Ball gave a pref

last evening at her home on
Eighth Staeet as a compliment
TO her guest Mrs. G. S. Babcock,

were seated at one table, which
was used with polished surface
and cluny doilies. Mrs. Bail

courses. The later hours were
most enjoyably spent in visiting

A Hardy Annual

In four Novembers out of the
last five we have printed editor
;als equivalent to this. Not
without reason, therefore, it
has been said that the "Shop
EARLY" plea (along with the APP
peal for a sane Fourth) is a
rubber stamp" We admit it,
but instead of feeling shame
we glory in the fact, and instan. :
ly rise TO remark:
SHOP EARLY
Did you ever stop to think
that the small sales in a depart
ment store in the fortnight be-
fore Christmas exceed those of
any other four weeks in the
year? Have you ever stepped
aside to watch the constant
PRESSURE upon men clerks and
girls, standing upon their feet
and driven, in foul air, all day
long and often into the night
only because you and others
like you have put off your shop.
ping till the last minute? Have
you ever realized that such de-
lay has made the "holiday"
period a term of slavery for
many? If not, ponder these
things, and, having pondered,
make up your Christmas list
and fill it as soon as possible.
Though you may never know
where it lands, you will be MAX
ing your biggest CHRISTMAS gift
of all.-Colliers Weekly.
