CHRISTMAS CONSPIRACY
How Grandmothers Heart Was Glad dened by Remembrances From
 the Children.

Grandmother Jessup!"
 Stella's tone was distinctly ac- cusing; 1t was evident that grand mother had something to answer for. Grandmother, from her invalid chair, looked across at the girl who stood at her bureau drawer. She had en- dured years of pain and weakness but they had not succeeded in quench- ing the spirit in the frail figure; her voice was as saucy as girls.
 Not guilty-what is it?"
 Its your handkerchiefs. How many dozen have you?"
 Seven or eight You see, l have seven of the dearest grandchildren in the world. It's queer, isn't it, that your nose should be so especially honored when you grow old?"
 But Stella's gray eyes forgot to laugh back at grandmother's. Some thing had disconnected her. She put the handkerchiefs back, made some trivial excuse, and ran up to her own room, where her sister and cousins were holding Christmas conclave.
 T wonder" she burst out, "that grandmother can endure Christmas at all!"
 What under the sun do you mean?" Corinne and Isabella ex- claimed together.
 "Corinne, what did you give grand mother for Christmas last year?"
 "A box of handkerchiefs. Why?"
 And you. Isabella?"
 An embroidered handkerchief with little weeny initials"
 "Mollie?"

Girls-she isn't old-shes as young as any of us down in her heart, and she loves pretty things just as much as ever. This year let's give her the biggest surprise of her life-a Christ. mas that will make her really happy" But how-what-" Corinne stam. mered.

 "Jewels!" "Books!" Hand embroid- ery!" "Candy!" "Silk stockings!" The l answers came in laughing shower Well then, why not? Grandma'd love a bit of jewelry from tus-chosen | just for her.

Editor Argus:
 Permit m e, through tn e columns of your paper, to call the attention to all automobile owners in your county to the situation in our office as to the mailing of automobile license tags. Some complaint has been made over the state because we send the tags by express. thus costing the owners 25c or 3Oc more than if they were sent by parcel post. The Legislature made no appropriation for hand- ling the tags by parcel post making it possible for us to send them that way, as the postage must be prepaid. therefore we are compelled to send them by express. charges collect.
 It might be well to suggest to each person sending in his re- ceipt for tags that he look up the parcel post rate from Little Rock to his post office and en- close sufficient postage to cover the same.
 It is not the desire of this department to cause anyone to pay more to secure his license than is necessary but under the present conditions it is absolute ly impossible' for us to send them by parcel post unless the postage accompanies the application.

Christmas. the celebration of the birthday of the Divine Child. is pe- culiarly the children's festival. And while 1t cannot, too, but be time of special rejoicing among grown-ups, we realize after all, that 1t has no other charm to compare with the pleasure we take in some kiddy's delight over the doll or drum or picture book that our special Santa Claus has brought him.
 This opportunity of making some child's Christmas one of surpassing joy, of which he will carry a gracious and ennobling memory into after life. years, 1t may be. after our direct in- fiuence for good or evil will have ceased forever-this opportunity of giving pleasure is one of the best that life has to offer us And per haps .he greatest opportunity Is his who in place of home times. has the wide, gray world of homeless. loveless. unhappy childhood from which to choose the most needy recipient of his Christmas giving. The chances oG giving happiness in this way are so many, the means so simple. and the deed itself so worthy. that no one of us should let the season pass unim- proved.

GREAT JUMP IN TEN YEARS
Revenue from Parcel Post Light
Though Much Business Was Done.
in This Department.

For the first time in The history oil
the Moline postofice the annual re
ceipts passed the 100000 mark during
the calendar year 1913. The total
was s211,SO7.49, which is gain OF
s23 ,164.O7 over 1912. The significance
of the figures is enhanced by the
statement that 10 years ago, in 1903,
the total receipts were less than
$50, 1000.
Expenses of the office last year
were s59,OO3.4s, the sum of s152,S04
being sent to the United States treas
ury.
During the year there were issued
60,966 domestic and international
money orders representing a total of
$515,95S.30. There were 4,670 inter
national orders for a total of $115,-
4S4.1S. which is the sum that was
sent to foreign countries. mainly by
workers in Moline who have families
in Europe or who expect to return
there for residence after earning
competence here.
But One Loss Shown.
In pieces of registered mail the Office
shows falling off. this being the only
item where an increase is not mani
fest. Last year the total was 1921,
against a maximum for previous
years of 1885. This decline is due to
the adoption of the parcel post, which
has cut in on registered parcel bust
ness
Increased revenue from the parcel
post was light. For instance, for
$4,000 pieces sent out in December
the postage was but $4,000 an average
of between 8 and 9 cents for each
parcel.
Strange as IT may seem, December
was not the heaviest month in parcel
post business outgoing, in spite of the
Christmas rush. May brought consid-
erably more business in this line be-
cause of the fact that local factories
were then taking advantage of the
parcel post to send out great numbers
of small repair parts, the demand for
which was incidental TO the opening
of the seasons agricultural operations.
