Don't Forget to Mail Christmas
Packages Early, You'll Help
Uncle Sam IN Santa Claus Role

SuppOsin' now that the folks at
home should mail you Thanksgiving
box and suppOsin' they should put into
it some turkey. an some cake, an
some pie, an some cranberrieS, an
some Oh, well. just suppOsin' that
mother would fix things up like she
used TO do when the world was young.
Then suppOsin' you went 10 the post

bad postmaster would demand SPA

However that may be, this is not TO
be a story Of turkey and things nor
yet altogether a story OF pie and

YOU that Christmas Is coming and
that YOU should do your Christmas
mailing early. Not only should you
do your Christmas mailing early but
YOU should become acquainted with
some Of the simpler rules by which
Uncle sam governs his good and
faithful servant the postottice. IL
was just because these rules We're not
understood that a certain South Bend
man did in fact pay S2.44 10 receive
a dinner from home.
You see, il was this way. The folks
nj home fixed this box OF dinner all
up nice and then they put in a little
love letter and then they paid the
Is cents postage and then they sent
the dinner. But the box became
crushed and then the sharp eye OF the
postal clerk detected the love letter
and then the S2.44 paid the first class
postage on the box OF dinner and the
love letter-all because the folks at
hons did not know what the rules
were.

Wednesday the first Christmas pack
age was. received at the local office.
Attention is brought by the postal
authorities that packages may just as
well be mailed now as ever, for IL is
permitted TO have packages marked.
"Do not open until Christmas"
AS the postal authorities have noted.
'the establishment OF the parcel post
has given a wonderful impetus 10 the

tributing Christmas gifts in view Of
the increased weight limit. reduced

vice during the past year il is anti
cipated that the amount OF mail dur

Will exceed all previous records. In
order that the Christmas mail may
be handled promptly and SatiSfactOr-
lily il is essential that the public CO.

fullest possible extent"
Must Prepay Postage.
Speaking Of the matter Asst. Post
master Schnelle said that above all
else the public must remember that
postage must be prepaid for other
wise the packages Will be delayed To
await the payment OF postage. Also
il Is essential that "a return card be
written plainly on the upper left hand
corner of the addressed side. People

To the mail clerks the satisfactorily
addressed letter or package is the one
where 10y reading upward from lower

dress Of the sender of package.
Particular attention is called 10 the
deSirabiHty of insuring mail matter
for only by that way can delivery be
made certain. Ii Is easy for small
packages OF value to become lost in
mail sacks and by other means and il
is only the insured package which can
be traced. If a package be insured it
is more desirable than ever that it be
sent early because Of the increased
amount of work attending upon its
delivery

COMPENSATION ACT
NOW IN EFFECT

The workmen's compensation act
went into effect in Oregon last Thurs
day. Practically 1000 employers en-
gagged in industries classed as hazard
Gus have come under the act. This is
estimated at about S5 per cent of all
the employers in the state engaged in
these Industries.
Members of the industrial accident
commission state that letters are still
being received daily from employers
who want to withdraw their reflections
and become subject to the law. 1t now
requires 80 days notice to withdraw a
rejection.
The law provides for the employer,
the employe and the state contributing
to the industrial accident fund, out of
which compensation for injuries is to
be paid to all injured empoyes or their
families who come within the provi-
siOns of the law.
Thursday was spent by members of
the commission coaching the new en-
ployes of the department. There will
be seven travelling auditors who will
spend their time visiting the various
employers and the scene of their oper-
ations, explaining the provisions of the
law and obtaining the information
needed concerning the number of men
employed, amount of payrolls, etc.
There will be II employees in the office.
Claims for compensation, which re.
quire special investigation, are to be
given personal attention by members
of the commission, who expect to take
that opportunity to get into touch witt
the employers and employees over the

A CITY PARK

The Chautauqua has been in the way
of revelation to us-the little bit of
woodland in the city, where no more
handsome trees in all the country may
be found. We may describe our feel
ings similar to those of the man who
was broke and found quarter in the
lining of his coat. We have rediscov-
cred something that we didn't know
we had. And it is worth a great deal
more than a quarter. The park, If
properly developed, will solve many
problems that we have been thinking
of lately. We have wanted a swim
ming pool for the boys. With but lit
tie grading and building Of dikes an eX-
celent pool may be constructed here.
And why limit it to the boys? The
Columbia is dangerous for men as well
as boys, and the adults Of the city en-
JOY swimming just as we'll as in their
younger days. We might build a nata-

sounding word again. 1t might have a
psychological effect on someone. We
are all just plain. ordinary folks these
days, and what we want is swimmin'
hole. The park offers it, and water
in abundance to fill it. 1t may be so
arranged that the inflow, as soon as
the pool is filed. may be turned off
and the water allowed to warm up.
And then think of the swings and
play places that may be arranged un-
der the shade of the big maple trees
for the children. Let US rejoice, for
this time it is not question of secur-
ing funds for the purchase of some
thing. We already have it, and the
cost of development will be practically
