MADISON

Just what the outcome of the post
Office situation in Madison is a ques-
ton Of considerable interest to the pa
irons of the Office in this village. Sew
eral months ago when it was expected
that the location of the office would
have TO be changed petition was cir
culated and generally signed by the
business men to have the Office moved
Into the Mckenzie block. This is gem
orally conceded to be the most desir-
able location. The building in which
the office has been located for num-
Der Of years has recently changed own
ers and the new landlord after warn
ing the postal authorities to vacate has
twice raised the rent. Various post Of
flee inspectors have been to Madison
and looked the situation over and have
given specifications and called for bids.
Several owners of vacant stores after
finding that $4,000 worth of equipment
lwould have to be furnished have de-
clined to bid as the sum fixed by the
inspector for rent is SO small that 1t
does not warrant the investment. In
the meantime the office is doing a
second class post office business in the
same quarters into Wnlcn the once
was moved when it was a fourth class
office.

AS long as Christianity

Until the end of the world, as long as Christian
ity is recognized or as long as men and women
persist in having children and relatives, Christ
mas giving will be maintained F.

given place to season of practical buying and

Today there is nothing from ash sifters to pianos
or from pocket handkerchiefs to Liberty Bonds
that will not be considered legitimately Christ
mas in nature. People are looking around the
cellar and the attic as well as the parlor and

will be offered in the form of a Christmas pres
ent for the benefit of the entire family
In just this spirit and with the firm resolution to
be helpful in times when economy is required
