LETTERS FOR SANTA CLAUS
Postmaster Will Send Them to Jolly
Saints, First Aide.

All the Santa Claus letters dropped in
mail boxes, for Santa Claus, North
Pole" by children in this city with re-
quests for Christmas toys, will not be
sent to the old white-whiskered gentle
man, but turned over to his first assist
ant, Miss Olive May Wilson, "The Santa
Claus Girl" sol West avenue. Jenkintown.
This announcement made today by Post
master John A. Thornton.
Already the pile of Santa Claus" let
ters is beginning to assume great propor-
tions. Two hundred or more have been
received at the Postoffice and It is ex-
pected that the pile will steadily grow
bigger and bigger as Christmas APP
prOaches.
The postmaster said that while Miss
Wilson would receive most of the letters
other organizations who wished to got
in touch with needy children could have
some of the letters in order to make the
little ones happy.

DO your Christmas shipping early!
This is the advice which Thomas Nc
L.eister. chief of the Parcel Post De-
partment in Philadelphia gives to all
who are going to call on Uncle Sam to
do the Santa Claus act for them.
Incidentally he is an ardent advocate
OF the shop early movement, because.
says he. when people shop early they
usually ship early and that helps lot
to relieve the almost unmanageable con-
gestion which prevails in the Postofiice
three or four days before Christmas.
Exclusive OF today, only 10 more shop
ping and shipping days remain, and al
ready little placards and pamphlets are
being put out in an endeavor to educate
the public in regard to sending Christ
mas gifts.
"To mail early to wrap securely and
to address plainly" said Mr.. McLeister,
"are the three bits of advice which we
are trying hardest to get people to take,
but, from my past experience, can
honestly state that the dear public is
most difficult to educate-along these
lines, at any rate.
Another thing concerning which ship
pers should use their heads Is in the
matter of sending perishable goods. On
Thanksgiving a large quantity of edible
stun passed through our hands and We
are proud to say that the only thing
which was spoiled was a chicken that
came all the way from washington State.
But ordinarily It Is not wise to send
perlshable goods beyond the second zone,
that is to say, the area of 90 to $50 miles
from here"
The mother who wants to send her boy
in the Philippines his Christmas dinner
may have the best intentions in the world,
but the postoffice advises her against 1t.
The Philippines are in the eighth zone,
and the eighth zone takes In an area
of from 1900 to 1900 miles, and cooked
turkeys are poor long-dlstance travellers,
experience has taught.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The masslng

Tasker H. Bliss is now en- route to Naco

GUS drain on its resources caused by

the fight the Red Cross nurse can be
found, and and 1t is going to cost
money to support her work.
The Rad Cross society has appealed
to many of the cities to assist them
in this work Of mercy; to help swell
their funds which will buy medicines
and comfort for the sick and wounded.
Mr.. Philips generosity and thought
fulness gives Keokuk chance to con-
tribute without being solicited. Any
amount OF money will be welcomed,
from five cents up to check In as
many figures as one would wish to
write.
II you wish to contribute to the Red
Cross fund just bring or send your
money to The Gate City. Tell them
It Is for the Red Cross fund, and how
much 1t amounts to. You will be CIV
en- credit for 1t, and when the amount
warrants It. the money will be for
warded to the headquarters Of the So
ciety in New York.
