CHRISTMAS PARCELS.
All Parcels Should be Mailed Early.
Some Suggestions.

The season for mailing Christmas
packages-gifts and remembrances
to friends, relatives and sweethearts
is here again. This season of the
year always provides Uncle Sans en-
ployees with a great deal of extra
work, and if the public would coop
crate with the postofice force, it
would greatly lessen their burden,
and, at the same time, expedite the
handling of this great volume of
mail.
The postmaster requests us to state
that no extra help is allowed the
Bamberg postoffice to handle the
Christmas mail, and the patrons of
the office are asked to mail their
packages early in order that all pack
ages may be promptly dispatched
and properly taken care Of. Those
desiring to forward insured pack
ages may, upon request, be provided
with a sufficient number of insured
tags, which may be filled out and at
tached before the package is brought
to the postoffice to be mailed. This
would not only save lot Of time,
but would greatly facilitate the mail
ing of the package.
It should be borne in mind that
the postoffice force positively cannot
take the time to fill out these tags.
To do so would mean a congestion
of business during the busy hours,
and cause other patrons to have to
wait. If the patrons will exercise
forethought and bring or send their
packages to the postoffice after II
o'clock in the morning, it would rare
ly be necessary for them to have to
wait long. There is always a rush
at the postoffice handling general de-
livery mail and selling stamps, etc.,
from the time the morning mail is
put up until the II o'clock mail is
out of the way. By calling after that
time, patrons may be waited on
promptly.
It is we'll known fact that patrons
of a postoffice do not like to wait to
get their wants attended to. If they
would observe these suggestions, they
would get waited on more promptly,
and at the same time, they would
not be causing other people to have
to wait. In wrapping and mailing
Christmas packages, the following
rules should be followed.
Prepay postage fully on all parcels.
Address parcels fully and plainly.
Place name and address of sender
on all matter.
Pack articles carefully and wrap
them securely, but do not seal them,
| as sealed packages are subject to
postage at the letter rate.
Mail parcels early. They may be
marked "Do not open until Christ
mas"
Insure valuable packages.
Glass ware, crockery ware, etc.,
must be properly packed to prevent
breaking.
Written inscriptions, such as "Mer-
ry Christmas" Happy New Year."
with Best Wishes" etc., are per-
missible on parcel post packages.
When pasting labels on packages,
be sure to see that same are not
placed over cord with which parcel
is tied, as this makes it sealed pack

 Penn State Has Scored Many Points
 Oliphant of the Army, by his feat of scoring six touchdowns in Satur- days game against Villanova, comes to the front as the casts largest SCOT CT.

Beside these departments, Oliphant rang up nine more points on goals from touchdowns Saturday, and he already had six to his credit, making a grand total of 81 points for the season thus far. This is more than about half of the eastern elevens have scored as units.

Tigers Outplay Corinthians at Traut's Park-Nutmegs Held to a Tie Score By Fast Capitol City Eleven.

The Tigers of this city lived up to it's reputation yesterday by taking the strong Corinthian eleven of Hartford into camp, score 13 to 0. The boys from tn Capitol City seemed bewil- dered by the fast play of the locals and were outclassed from the first sound of the referees whistle until the contest was finally ended. Wright and Freeman crossed the visitors line for touchdowns.
 One of the toughest games ever witnessed in this city, was staged at Fraterna1 field yesterday afternoon, when the Nutmegs of this city and the Tigers of Hartford battled into dark ness to a 2 to tie. A crowd estimat- ed at 1500 witnessed the game and at times greatly interfered with the playing by crowding on the field. The visitors scored first when Ash more intercepted a forward pass with the ball on the locals fifteen yard line. The points for the home team were scored by Scott in the third period by using plunging tactics. The visitors made a strong bid for the game in the fourth period when they rushed the ball to the Nutmeg's five yard line, where the locals braced and held for downs At this juncture, Referee SChrO606r CalleQ IlIl0 dS IL was llipOo- sible to see on account of the dark ness. Several fist fights occurred among the spectators and at one time two of the opposing players threat ened to enter into a hors de combat Ashmore and Capt.

 crossed the Annex goal line in the l opeing period, but failed at the at
 tempt at goal. Hubbard for the An l nex contributed the feature play of the game when he racel forty yards
 for a touchdown in the third period. 1 Farren of Rockville and Fitch of the
