 The tremendous bulk of mail matter turned over to the service for trans portation and delivery in the two weeks before Christmas was equiva- lent, Postmaster General Burleson pointed out tonight, ito fully two and one-half pounds of parcel mail for ev- cry man. woman, child and infant in the land.'
 That would require use of 1000 full mail cars. carrying ten tons each dur ing the two weeks period.
 Reports on December stamp sales, relied on to show definitely the vol tune of Christmas traffic as compared to other years, are not yet complete, but department officials estimate that postage receipts for the month will not total less than SIS, ,000, 300. Last December the total was s15, 5,000,0 ,089.
 Big increases were most general in the far west. Receipts at the Denver office between December 15 and 25 ex- ceeded those of the same period last year by 43 per cent.

It's not the big gift you have bought With time and money spent It's just the individual thought You've given to your friend One rose with loving meaning sent, A smile smiled just in time. A little card with cheerful trend, All these are most worth while. Why need we strive to do so much Or make great display, When just the individual touch Aids friendship on life's way? Or course it's fine to have fine things We all agree that's true: Advantages that money brings, Id like them-so would you. ; But after all is said and done, It's not material things. It's just when Selfless Love has won. Our worthiest self begins.

The Fly Exterminator.
(Waterbury Republican,

The Piping Rock club of Locust Valley, Long Island, is very proud of it's fly trap. That trap caught ten pounds of. flies last summer. The im- r1ensfty of the feat may only be ap- rreciated when one realizes that it takes 5000 flies to weigh one ounce By carefully counting sample patches Of flies and weighing the entire seasons catch, the steward of the club figured out that the trap has put 1 100000 flies out of business.
 A million flies, it may easily be inn agined, could produce considerable discomfort around club, or even in good sized community, not to mention their potency disease carriers Nearly all of them were bagged early in the summer. As result, the clubhouse, sta ble and barnyard were wonderously free from flies almost the whole summer and fall.
 The trap that worked this miracle was invented by club member named J. R. Mckee. It isn't patented, and neither he nor the club wants to m onopolize 1t.
 Thers is a bottom plate or board, twelve by twenty inches, painted vhite The bait is placed on this DOdIU. l1lS CluU uS0u H1OSI1y ISI1 l bones but anything else that flies like would do nearly as we'll. At each end of the bottom plate is fastened a triangular piece of wood standing up like an inverted V. On these two supports rests the trap proper, which is a wire-screen box, rectangular, ten by eighteen inches, with its bottom an inverted trough fitting snugly over the two supports and it's lower edges just a little above the bottom, , the flies crawl under the edges eat | the food, then fly upward. They bump against the inverted trough, and finding little holes in it, crawl up l through into the cage. There they stay.
 l There's a useful thing for a boy to make during the winter to keep his l house and yard free from flies next l summer.

PROSPERITY IN SPOTS fo>

TO the Editor of the Herald:
 Charles w. Fairbanks, republican nominee for vice president, who spoke at Engene, Ore, Friday, the 9th. on the Policies of the Republican and
 the Democratic parties," said, among
 other silly and untruthful state- ments:
 There is at the present time nros-
 perity in ispots-a kind of leopard
 sperity-but in certain sections of
 the country, you know and I know
 that there is diversity, and this has
 been caused by the adoption of the
 policies of the democratic party. The
 republican party spreads prosperity
 from sea to sea-like a blanket
 The sixteen years from the begin-
 ming of the Mckinley administration
 to the end of the Taft administration
 were golden years of prosperity Under the democratic Underwood law the industries of the nation began to furl their sails. and there was not a single part of the country that did not feel it's effects.''
 As the above statements have been freely reported in the republican press there can be no question of their authenticity.
 MT. Fairbanks should be more specific in his statements. Will he kindly point ou "spot'' in this country where prosperity does not exist at the present time, under this much maligned democratic adminis- tration? If he will it will certainly be matter of much interest and surprise to the residents of this sec tion of the country.
 ''Thc Sixteen Golden Ycars.' It is passing strange, that neither MT. Fairbanks, MT. Hughes, MT. Roosevelt and the other republican | spellbinders, who at present do not l possess a single practical arrange l ment or issue in favor of a change 1 of administration, that none of these gentlemen have a word to say about
 the awful, disastrous, whitening fin
 ancial panic of 19O7-1910. known as 1 the Roosevelt panic,' which | crippled almost every industry in this ration which cast hundreds of thou sands out of employment, and as l many more on almost starvation | working hours. This occurred, (and | If I recall alright, there were othrs) ! during these Sixteen years of Golden
