Christmas Mail
YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY - MAIL
YOUR CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
EARLY.


The unusual conditions prevailing
this year make it imperative that you
mail your Christmas packages earlier
than usual, in order to insure reach
ing their destination on time.
The Postoffice Department is con-
fronted with very serious problem
in handling the Christmas mail this
year, because:
Many experienced postal employees
have been drafted and transportation
companies are obliged to divert for
movement of troops and equipment
war material, food and other neces
stiles, cars which heretofore have
been available for use by the Post
Office Department in handling the in
creasing volume Of holiday mail.

An Unpleasant Disclosure

A sensation was caused in the Vati-
can by the publication by Premier Lee
nine of Russia, among other diplomat
ic documents, of the terms demanded
by Italy when she agreed to enter the
present war. The terms are said to
have been that the allies agreed ITO
uphold Italy's opposition to the admia'
sion of any diplomatic effort OF repre-
sentatives of the Holy See tending
towards the conclusion of peace or the
solution of questions relating p the
war;" The Osservatore Romano notes
the Importance Of this Disclosure, but

Stamps are sslittle baby bonds Like
Liberty Bonds, they have behind them
the entire resources of the govern

They have the additional advantage
that they steadily increase in value
from the date of purchase until the
date of maturity, and this increase is
guaranteed BY the government. These

Food Conservation Menus

The Food Administration asks all
the people to substitute corn meal
or some other cereal for wheat, in or
der that we may export the wheat to
France. Just now the need there is
urgent and must be met or the army
cannot be sustained in the field. We
give sample menus for two days
meals. These are meatless meals, a
few are wheatless and all reduce the
use of wheat. They are abundant in
nourishment, and thoroughly appetiz-
/ ing. Nc sacrifice is involved in cat
ing such food, If it is well prepared;
and no kind of food is good If it is
not SO prepared. Of course these
menus are merely suggestive, as tried
and found good. Boiled or mashed
potatoes may we'll find place at din
ner, and baked potatoes at luncheon.
The potato crop Is plentiful, and if
potatoes are not reasonable in price
1t will be because the farmer boards
them for higher prices or the middle
man or retailer is over-charging. The
consumers should look to that,

ions, the ascent stamp and the SIS

tions, the 25-cent stamp and the So
stamp.
For the convenience of investors a
chasers of 25-cent stamps. This card
has spaces for sixteen stamps When
all the spaces have been filled the
thrift card may be exchanged for a
SIS stamp at postoffices, banks or other
authorized agencies by adding twelve
cents in cash prior to February /, 1918,
I and one cent additional each month
thereafter.
Those who prefer may buy a SIS
stamp outright These will be on sale
from December 3, 1917, until January
81, 1918, for S412. They automatically
increase in value a cent month every
month thereafter until January 1, 1923,
when the United States will pay SIS at
any postoffice or at the treasury in
Washington for each stamp affixed to
a war saving certificate.
When you purchase SIS stamp you
must attach it to an engraved folder
known as a war savings certificate .
which bears the name of the purchaser
and can be cashed only by the person
whose name appears upon the certifi-
cate, except in case of death or dis
ability. This certificate contains
twenty spaces. If these are all filled
with war savings stamps between De-
cember 3, 1917 and January 81, 1918,
the cost to the purchaser will be $82.40,
and on January L, 1928, the govern
ment will pay the owner of the certifi-
cate $100-a net profit to the holder of
$3.50. This is based on an interest
rate of four per cent compounded quar-
terly from January 2, 1918. The
amount of war savings stamps sold to
any one person at any one time shall
not exceed $100 (maturity value), and
no person may hold such stamps or
war savings certificates to an aggre-
gate amount exceeding $1,000 ina
turity value).
If the holder of war savings certifi-
cate finds it necessary to realize cash
on it before maturity, he may at any
time after January 2, 1918, upon CIV
ing ten days written notice to any
money order postoffice, receive for
each stamp affixed to his certificate
the amount paid therefor plus one cent
for each calendar month after the
month of purchase of each stamp A
registered certificate may be redeem
ed, however, only at the postoffice
where registered.
Why you should buy them: The
main reason for the purchase of war
savings stamps is because your coun-
try is at war. Your country needs
every penny which every man, woman
and child can save and lend, in order
to feed, clothe, arm and equip the sol.
diers and sailors of America and to
win this righteous war in defense of
American honor and the cause OF
democracy throughout the world.
If we are to win the war we must
win it as united people, The savings
of every man, woman and child are
necessary if we are to hasten the vic
| torious ending of the war. War savers
are life savers.

 A skeptic is a man who doubts some of his own stories.

 Oh. Liberty. what a lot of divorces are applied for in thy name!
 Never kick dog to which you have not been properly introduced.
 A dogs bark may be worse than his bite, but give us the bark, please, just the same.
 It's fortunate thing for some men that their ancestors left them an hon. ored name.
 The man who considers himself a brick never boasts of being common clay specimen.
 It sometimes happens that the wom- an who is disappointed in love isn't disappointed in marriage.
 A man must be in business with an other man or married to a woman in order to discover that he doesn't know them.
 When a man is found guilty of love in the first degree he should not kick if he and his accomplice are given a life sentence.
