THE PARCEL POST
Has Increased to More Than
a Billion Parcels, Says
Burleson

War in Europe has cost the United
States postal service $2l, 100000
which economies of administration
have reduced to deficit of little
more than $l1, 100000 according to
the annual report of postmaster
General Albert S. Burleson.
Consideration of service, the re-
port says, were placed above all
others and Notwithstanding adverse
revenue conditions, expansion and
Improvement of postal facilities con-
tinued. Had it not been for econOm-
icaI reorganization begun before the
war started and continued since, the
postmaster general says the audited
deficit would have been at least $24.
100000. Of the total deficit, how
ever, this analysis of the depart
ment's finances declares that all but
a little more than $300,000 was the
result of increases of postal salaries
and additional railway mail pay re-
quired by law.
The greatest expansion in the
postoffice, the report shows, was in
the parcel post. Statistics gathered
from fifty principal postOffices show
it to be half of all the postal bust
ness, and that more than billion
parcels are being transported every
year. Before the parcel post was
established not more than one-fOurth
that number were handled. The
amount of postage collected from
that source approached $4,000, 900,
during the first fifteen days of Oc,
tober this year alone.
While the war has crippled the
money order system, it has doomed
the postal savings banks. The mum,
Der of depOsitors and the amount
deposited exceeded any year since
the banks were established. More
than a half million depositors were
on the books at the end of June,
1915, a gain of 35 per cent for the
year and they had on deposit nearly
$66, 900, 900, a gain of more than 81
per cent.

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

Happy or sad-gay or GRIM
when you read this, know that /
your friend, apart-yet near, salute
you'll Joy to your house-plenty
to your purse-love to your HEARTH
Health to you and to yours
The pine branches that fill your
halls with fragrance, the smoke
from your Christmas logs bring me
breaths of welcome gusts of holi-
day cheer.
Or maybe, alone in your attic,
you are looking out across snow
fields in the sky, thinking of friends
who once were at your side. Know
then, that am thinking Of you.
From the ends of the earth | greet
you. From tropic poinsettia mead
ows lit with scarlet stars. | send
you Christmas thoughts. From the
throbbing.smiling, sorrowing hearts
of great cities | reach out to you.
From mountain evergreens, gem
med with mistletoe, my prayer for
you whispers to the stars. Rejoice!
Put by your sombre dreams OF
what is gone into the gray past.
This is the day of days-when the
Child's hand touched the world
and kindness and love bloomed
in the winter pastures. Weep not
for those friends We loved who
left us here to grieve for them,
They walk today, hand in hand,
through fields of eternal spring.
Songs from the stars time their
footsteps by the deep waters Of
their abundance. Their eyes smile
as they think Of US as much-loved
comrades who go on with the tasks
their tired hands put by for the
artistry of splendid studios. They
have learned the song of victory
They ride their splendid steed:
across the suns to chant to you
To you. pondering over some
tragic comedy-some strange, sac
adventure that has broken the
harmony of your existence-they
sing and bid you look up to the
skies.
They wait for you beside the
gates of Dawn with hymns oI
cheer and royal courage-trium
phant over death. They have KEEP
the Faith-they have sunk in nc
whirlpool of dishonor-no shifting
sand Of falsehood-no easy mire
of stupid safety.
From hills that kiss the cloud'
they greet the Christmas unafraid
Rejoice with theml
You have trod the roads tha
rim the rivers of life-you have
been true. You know-you know
The Child's hand touches thi,
old world once more. The ligh
breaks on land and sea. The
Christmas dawn is hereI-kat,

OWN LARGE TRACT
Arizona Boy Mining Com
pany Has Secured Rich
Property at Oatman

The recent visit to the Oatman
district by H. B. BIenkiron. of Los
Angeles, Cal; C. F. Patterson, of
Denver. Colo, and W. L. Burt, of
Phoenix, Ariz., has resulted in COM
pleting the organization of the Ari-
zona Boy Mining and Milling Cos
The company these gentlemen
represent, owns the largest tract of
ground Of any company in the Oat-
man district, 420 acres within five
miles of Oatman, which shows plenty
OF free gold from the grass roots.
On this ground is an abundant
supply of natural water, a condition
which does not exist on any other
property in the district.
These claims adjoin some of the
proven ground of the Oatman dis
trict and were thoroughly examined
before purchase, by men from Cali
fOrnia, Colorado and Arizona. After
deciding that this ground was among
the best in the district the purchase
was made and the company or
ganized.
The incorporators of the company
are: W. C. Laine, T. D. Shaugh-
messy and E H. Larson. of Phoenix
and Stafford, Arizona. The board
of directors consists of w. l.. BIenk-
iron, H. V. Blenkiron and S. M.
Binkich, of Los Angeles. and Wiley
E. Jones and Nit Sims, Of Phoenix,
Attorney General and State Treas
urer, respectively. J. o. Magam,
of Oatman, is secretary and S. M.
Binkich, of Los Angeles, is treasurer.
This company represents some OF
the most wealthy men of Los Ange-
les who have devoted considerable
time and spent lots of money in an
investigation of the district, and
while Mr.. BIenkirOn was reluctant
in giving out information concern
ing the men backing the proposition,
he said, the ground we have is
sufficient without anyone to back
it," 1t has been learned through
other sources that he is member
of the firm of BIenkiron Bros, of
Los Angeles, one of the wealthy
firms of the Pacific Coast. Mr..
Blenkiron says that Mr.. Burt, of
this city. was the man who brought
his attention to the property and
through whom the purchase was
made.
Mr.. Patterson is a mining en-
gineer and capitalist, of Denver.
and had gone to the Oatman district
to look it over. There he met Mr..
Blenkiron and Mr.. Burt and was in
duced to look over the ground they
had purchased. After examining,
he said: This is what | want. can !
get it?" He's in and will spend
most of his time in that district
looking for more ground as good as
that of the Arizona Boy.
The Arizona Boy Mining and Mill
ing Company now has large num-
ber of men at work on its ground,
and if the rock, from the surface is
an indication of what there is in the
ground underneath, it will not be
long before the Arizona Mining and
Milling Company will be heraIded
as one of the largest gold producers
yet discovered.
When men of the standing of
those interested in this company
will spend their money in the Oat-
man district, it is pretty conclusive
evidence that it is one of the richest
districts yet discovered. Arizona

SIMPLE CEREMONY
Marks the Marriage of Mrs,
Edith Boiling Gait and
President Wilson

President Wilson and Mrs. Edith
Boiling Gait were married at $50
o'clock Saturday night, December
IS, 1915, with a simple ceremony
spoken in the brides home, in the
presence of less than thirty guests,
virtually all of whom were relatives.
They left soon afterward, at lilo
o'clock, in a private car, attached to
special train, for two weeks
honeymoon in Hot Springs, Va.
Woodrow Wilson is the third
president to be married during his
term of office. President Tyler was
the first and President Cleveland
was the other. Mr.. Tyler, like Mr..
Wilson, was left a widower during
his term. Two years later, in 1874,
in New York City, he was married
to Miss Julia Gardiner, who then
presided at the White House func-
tions during the last year of her
husbands term of office.
Grover CIeveand's marriage to
Miss Frances Folsom took place in
the Blue Room of the executive
mansion. 1t was comparatively
private affair for the invited guests
included only the cabinet members,
their wives and few friends and
relatives of the couple.
President Wilson's wedding is the
third IN his family since he took
office. The first White House we'd
ding of his term was that of his
second daughter, Jessie Woodrow
Wilson, to Francis Bowes Sayre, and
the other was that of his youngest
daughter, Eleanor, to Secretary Nc
Adoo. The president now has two
grandchildren, the little son of the
Sayres and the baby daughter of
the McAdoo's.
The president and his bride both
are Virginians bv birth. He was
born at Stanton SO years ago this
month and she was born at Wyeth'
vile, the daughter of Judge and
Mrs. William H. Boiling and was
one child in large family. Two
sisters, Mrs. Alexander H. Gait and
Miss Bertha Boiling and three broth
ers, John Randolph, Richard Wilmer
and Julian B. Boiling live in Wash
ington. Rolfe f. Boiling, another
brother, is manager of the CONNER
cial Bank at Panama and another,
DR.. William f. Boiling, lives in
Louisville, Ky. A third sister, Mrs.
M. H. Maury, lives in Admission,
Alabama. The brides family has
been prominent in the history of
Virginia and she herself is descend
ant of Pocahontas, the Indian chiefs
daughter, who married John Rolfe,
Since 1896 Mrs. Gait has lived in
Washington, belonging to none of
the distinct social sets, but active in
charity and philanthropy in her own
way. From her first husband she
inherited control of a prosperous
mercantile business of which she has
been accredited with now being the
active head and many tributes are
paid to her ability. But activity in
business, her friends say, never has
diminished her interest in woman S
world. She loves flowers, books and
outdoor recreations. After the presi-
dents courtship began she took up
golf and on many Saturday after
moons they were seen together on
the links at someone of the country
clubs about the capital, or at other
times taking long motor drives over
the Virginia hills or along the shore
roads in lower Maryland. Often
they took picnic luncheon from the
White House on their journeys and
