MAIL EARLY PLEA
FOR HOLIDAY RUSH

PostofIice officials look for the biggest
Christmas rush in the history of the SER
vice this year. The fact that so many
young men are away in training camps
or at sea, causes the belief.
With this in mind postmasters are ask
ing that patrons do their Christmas mail
ing early.
Christmas packages for the soldiers or
sailors should be in the Celina postoflce
not later than Nov. 10. A sticker which
reads do not open until Christmas" will
be sufficient for the postal clerks.
These packages for the soldiers and
sailors will be held in military depots for
easy distribution on Christmas morning.
The mail early for Christmsa campaign
is starting sooner than in other years be-
cause of the congested condition Of the
countrys transportation sysems.
The parcels must be opened and exam
ined to comply with the customs regula-
tions.

Ross has received an honorable discharge.
For the past three years he has been
Captain of the Gun Crew on the Delaware

he was in England. His experiences are
most interesting as he has made three
trips to France with U S. soldiers since
our entrance into the war, and upon his
arrival in this city had only been back
in the United States eight days. He had
numerous scraps with Germany's sea-
devils. but the U. S. boys generally hit
