of Counting and Weighing
the January Mails

Making splendid record in
the volume of money order busi-
ness, the postofice at Paris las t
year shot ahead of Clarksville,
crowded Bowling Green and
reached point of business in
excess of many Tennessee towns.
Postmaster Y. @. Caldwell,
who completed his 1915 compil-
alton of figures this week, stated
that the local postoffice issued
IL, ,659 money orders, aggregat-
ing $51, 1926 1t cashed 4, 161
orders. aggregating a total of
$18, 883.O8.
T h e money orders issued
averaged in point of numbers an
average of four per working day
less than for 1914, but cashed
one more order per working day.
These figures aggregate a
money order business for the
year of 70,874.74. exclusive of
the fees to the government for
the service.
The surplus of more than
$780, 900 was remitted to United
States depository.
The greatest per cent of in
crease at the Paris postoffice,
according to Postmaster Cald-
we'll, is that of the postal savings
deposits which consist of individ-
ual deposits ranging from 10
cents each to a maxium amount
lof $l00 in any one calendar
month. The deposits as shown
by the report aggregate SIS.
Ga up to January, 1915, as against
81. 949.33 to January /, 1916.
This is an increase of 81 per cent.
The report of the registrations
and insured parcels will not be
made until the close of the fiscal
year, June 80, next.
| The Partisan published three
weeks ago a forecast indicating
that the postal receipts, meaning
stamps and stamped paper,
would amount to little less
than $12, 900, which Postmaster
Caldwell now says is substantial
ly correct, and about the same
as for 1914.
Postmaster Caldwell called at
tention to the fact, in speaking
of the splendid showing. con-
sidering the many handicaps,
that practically not a pound of
the 1915 crop of tobacco had
been sold up to January l, this
year, whereas unusually thous-
ands of dollars worth had been
marketed prior to the Christmas
holidays in former years A large
per cent of this money passes
through the postoffice one way
or another. Railroad men had
been working shorter hours and
given lay-offs that depleted their
incomes, and other decidedly
unusual conditions had obtained

our Mothers and Daddies do is wrong

Mothers and Daddies were brought up
wrong by People. They were put into
dirty pens, and they thought it was
quite right to be dirty.
So the next thing we must learn
is to be nice and clean. Write down
on your states: Pigs must not be
greedy and I'VE must be clean and
wash our faces and our feet every
day before School. and after play and
before meals.
And when the Fairies heard that
Ships was holding School each day

Ships said that they would give an
entertainment each month for the
Fairies to see how the Pigs got along
