one of the early residents of this
place. passed away at his home in this
city Sunday morning. November ed,
after Il prolonged illness. He has
been in poor health for several years,

Mail your Christmas parcels ear

tions to people generahy to mail their
parcels early. These placards have
been posted in conspicuous places in
the lobby OF the new federal building,
in the hope that they will avoid to
some extent at least, the annual

Postmaster Wright informed the
Review that a special regulation has
been issued by the postoflice author

their parcels earlier than necessary

the outside of each package. in addi-
tion to the usual address, the admon-

When you approach the general
delivery and stamp window at the loc-
al Office you are confronted by pla-
card Mail early. wrap securely, adj
dress plainly three suggestions the
government deem of the greatest i'm
portance with the dispatching of the
Christmas mail.
1t is expected that the parcel post.
which is becoming better and better
known as it becomes more firmly es-
tablished, will bear even 4 larger por-
tion of the Christmas business this
year than year ago. The parcel
post has been enlarged now, until
packages weighing us much as fifty
pounds may be mailed at small cost
any distance up to $50 miles while
packages OF twenty pounds or less
may be sent anywhere in the United
States by mail.
Denison people should bear in
mind that the mail early movement
is dependent on the buy early propo-
sition SO lets all get busy and help
out both the postal and store clerks
by purchasing the holiday gifts early
and sending them right off to their
destinations.
