MAIL CHRISTMAS

IF YOU WANT UNCLE SAM TO BE
SANTA CLAUS'S CARRIER,
START IN TIME.

If you want TO appear in the role o
Kris Kringle and have Uncle Sam:
mail play the part of carrier for you
then you had better start to mailing
your packages early.
At least that is the advice Post
master Fuller is giving the public, and
he urges that all Christmas presents
be placed in the mail at the first pos
sible date.
The postal authorities contend that
the public will suffer no inconveni-
ence by mailing early and assert that
by doing this the donors of gifts are
guaranteed of having them delivered
in time
1t should make no difference, say
the clerks. whether the packages ar
rive Christmas Eve or the day before,
if Christmas presents they can be
marked, do not open until Christ
mas"
The postoffice clerks invariably suf-
fer great inconvenience by persons
waiting until the last hour to send
their presents, and it often happens
that at the Yuletide the men who dis
patch and receive the mails have to
work so hard and for such long hours
that the holiday really brings them
very little pleasure

calls are for men of considerable ex-
perience, the registrar tries to keep in

years past.
Many or these, especially those in

their present positions that they are
unwilling to consider a change. The
