CITY RECORDER.

The time Is near at hand when the
citizens of Ashland will determine
the quality OF It's business manage
ment for the coming two years, and
largely In the selection of the re-
corder.
II Judge Watson, In his able arti-
Gle upon the urgency of having the
city's ordinances and records put In
buslnesslike shape, Is correct, as the
Tidlngs Is convinced he is, then for
city recorder should be selected a
man both with the unquestionable
ability to properly do the work, and
with demonstrated inclination and
determination to do It.
But one candidate stands out con-
spicuously as especially qualified by
ability, training, experience and tenn
perament to do and do right what
certainly is urgently needed to be
done In the recorders office, and
that IL the man who first called pub
lie attention to present conditions
Mr.. Ware.
ltis the judgment of the Tidings
that this selection will make unnec-
essary the employing of an expert to
systematize the city's files and rec
ords, as otherwise must become nee
essary II present conditions and ten
dencies are allowed to continue.

but after all Christmas is near and
before many Of us are aware OF IL
the great season will be here That
is the way the postmaster general
looked at it, for he has been issuing
instructions to local offices with ref
erence TO the Christmas mail. He
anticipates that the volume Of parcel
post during the Christmas season
will establis ha new record.
In order 10 prevent congestion in
DOgtoffice lobbies. postmasters are
asked to urge the public to obtain
in advance tags which must be filled
out and attached TO insured, c. o. d.
and registered parcels. Attention
also is called TO the necessity Of hav-
ing parcels properly wrapped and ad-
dressed. The address Of the sender
must appear on the face of the pack
age, preferably In the upper left hand
corner. All parcels must be present
ed at the postoffice window or given
TO rural carriers and not placed in
ordinary mail drops.
or course the postoffice will be
helped, Just as everybody else will be
helped, by early shopping. And
then the people will be helping them.

packing with care and addressing

your gifts early. Put a little legend
on your package: Not to be opened

cases out OF a hundred the injunc
tion will be needed.

ial attention to the insurance feature
