cial loss either to the Post Office Depart
ment or to the local public This record
speaks volumes for the personnel Of this
office for honesty and integrity
All mail is considered sacred, valuable,
and important by employees handling same,
and every effort is put forward to make
safe, speedy, and accurate delivery; but in
the handling of some $4,000 pieces each
week by clerks and carriers few errors
are certain to happen; however, the per-
centage is so small it is negligible.
Ny successor comes in with a good start
and I trust the general public will sup
port him in patience and consideration as
they so kindly have me. | am delighted
to leave this office with such a record of
faithful achievements, and I wish my sue
cessor equal success.

The postal money order business will
average 100000 per annum; the number of
orders issued to present date is 10000 The
postal receipts have increased and decreased
according to the business prosperity of
Our city, until to day we are doing a con-
servative and substantial business of more
than $4,000 per annum; this means by
the sale of postage stamps, box rents, and
second-cass postage.
The parcel post business has increased
400 per cent in less than one and one-half
year. We dispatch more than 5000 pieces
and receive more then 1000 pieces each
month This work is growing to such
large proportions that it is only question
of very short time when it must be
handled entirely separate and otherwise
than by foot1nen The postal work for these
many years has been performed by an eff

Brief Resume
of the Zion City Postal Ser
vice, Past Twelve
Years

lhe Zion City post office, was opened to
the public on April 18th, 1902. 1t began
its existence as a fourth class post office.
The work then, without city free delivery,
was all performed inside Delivery of mail
to patrons was made through the General
Delivery Window and Lock Boxes. The
city then had population of 5000 people,
and it was frequent sight to see scores Of
patrons lined up from the General Delivery
window out to the sidewalk onto the street
waiting their turn to receive their mail
The office force then consisted of the Post
master, one Assistant, and one Clerk. The
work was arduous the hours from II to
Is day.
This state of affairs in our local service
continued until July |, 1904, when the
Zion City post office jumped from Fourth
to Second-class, a record up to that time
unprecedented in the annals of the postal
service. December 1904, City Free De
livery was established with three regular
city carriers and one substitute Good
faithful men they were too. The equipment
to carry the mail was late in arriving and
the mail had to be taken out of the office
and delivered by the carriers from bas-
kets Imagine the city delivery carrier with
basket to-day?
Today we have complete carrier SER
vice, with two deliveries a day and ten
outgoing and incoming mails. The car
rier territory at that time extended in the
business district and about one-half of the
present residence district After one years
service the city carrier territory was ex-
tended to its present limits, taking IN
practically the entire city until to-day less
than ten families are obliged to call at the
post office for their mail The carrier
service was enlarged from three to five
carriers to meet this contingency
Then the rural delivery service was in
augurated June 18th, 1904, whereby the
good farmers for a radius Of four and one
half miles about Zion City, or "a miles
straight roads, were served daily with
their mail. We then had but few miles
of gravel roads and the task Of making
such trip daily was not pleasant either to
man or beast To-day we have an extended
rural service that covers close to thirty
miles and by persistent efforts have estab-
lished route with but few miles Of dirt
roads, the remainder being gravel.
The office force to day consists of the
Postmaster, one Assistant, three clerks, and
one substitutes five regular city carriers
and one substitute; one rural carrier and
substitute; mail messenger and his as
sistant, as well as a special delivery mes
senger, making total of seventeen en-
ployees.
This office has kept abreast with all the
improvements the Post Office Department
had to offer even to the larger cities. The
Postal Savings Bank was established Au-
gust 18th, 1911, with eight depositors and
five hundred dollars the first day. While
to day it has deposits of more than $4,000
and 40 depositors.

AN APPEAL

To the Friends of the Children S
Home Finding & Aid Society:
Dear Friends:
AS Superintendent of the Children's
Home Finding and Aid Society, l
have decided to make an appeal to
our many friends for aid to enable us
to meet outstanding bills.
There is an accumulation CT bills,
including salaries of faithful workers.
to the amount Of $1127.
Up to this time since the orpan;.
cation of the Society, we have met
our bills every month, but the hard
tlmes have made it almost impossible
Tor us to make our collections to
meet the current expenses.
| we IND that we must now make n
cholce between one of two Times
either we must hire this amount Of
money, paying interest on same or
make an appeal to the public at
large fer popular one dollar sub
scription.
Hiring money means interest in.
terest means limiting the amount
VI soou we can do for the children.
ana further, it will mean putting nm
on the society an Indebtedness that
may take us years to wipe out. But
these bills must be met, and our cred.
~ must remain as it always has been,
Al
III eleVen hundred perosns who read
this appeal and who are able to snare
the one dollar, will write lis their
check, and mail it to this office. it
VIII enable us to meet all outstand-
ing obligations to October /. 1914
after which time we hope to secure
enough to enable us to meet all
coming bills and close the year free
from debt.
10 those desiring it, we will be
very glad to send a statement Of our
finances.
mat we are filling a need is shown
by the number of children that have
come to us since July 1, 1908. which
Is over twelve hundred in the three
divisions, viz, aid, hospital, aud plac-
ing out departments.
Please do not lay this aside think
ing perhaps some one else will send
us the amount needed. To secure
eIeVen hundred one dollar subscrin-
IONS VIII be a triumph. To fail
ineahs de1cat and debt. Please helm

HOW PARIS STYLES MAKE
MUCH HAIR FROM LITTLE

You have noticed the prevailing hair
styles. which are. Partisan, make 1t I'M
possible to use false hair because OF the
simple lines which conform to the nat
ural shape of the head. 1t therefore be-
comes necessary to make your own hair
look as heavy as possible. This Is not
difficult task II you are careful to
keep 1t perfectly clean. In washing the
hair 1t Is not advisable to use make
shift. but always use a preparation
made for shampooing only. You can
enjoy the best that % known for about
three cents shampoo by getting a pack
age of canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve a teaspoonful in a cup OF hot water
and your shampoo is ready. After its
use the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff. excess oil and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier that it is. Its lustre and
,softness will also delight you. while the
stimulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth.-Advertiseme
