PREPARING To HANDLE
PARCEL POST RUSH
Send Your Packages Early
And Assist Office
Force

The postal service is making ex.
tenSive and effective preparations
to handle the large volume of mail
especially parcel post, expected dur
ing the coming Christmas holidays.
Additional clerks and facilities will
be provided in order to prevent any
congestion and resultant delay and
damage to mail. The general public
can materially assist the Post Office
Department in dischareing its duty
by mailing their Christmas packages
as early as practicable, which will
insure their safe handling and
prompt delivery. Such action will
also rebound to the eeneal benefit
of the public.
Parcels may bear the words Not
to be opened until Christmas" or
similar inscription, and this, to-
gether with early shipment, insures
the timeliness of Christmas gifts,
whereas the practice of mailing
packages late in the hope that they
will reach their destination on Christ
mas day is likely to defeat its own
object through unavoidable delay
due to the congestion of the mails.
This is campaign of Prepared
ness" in which our readers are
urged to assist.

DR.. Bowling Was Chief
State Witness Against
J. F. Hays

A very interesting case was tried
in Judge Otis court Saturday when
the case of State VS.. Hays. 1t will
be remembered that DR.. Bowling, of
the State Board of Health, when in
Boealusa short time ago, caused
the arrest of two men who were
conducting a medicine show. The
case against J. F. Hays was called
for trial Saturday and Mr. HAYS
acted as his own attorney and
proved to be capable of looking af-
ter his own interests despite the
fact that the head of the State
Board of Health was the States
best witness. After all the testi-
mony was heard Judge OFT decided
in favor of the defendant.
In the other case Hays was found
guilty, but sentence was not given
in order that the defendant might
have an opportunity to file excep-
tons.
Mr. Hays represents the "Dr.
Shakers" remedies and number
Of witnesses present testified that
the medicine had done great good.
