BE PATIENT-L0CAL
P. o. EMPLOYEES ARE
DOING THEIR BEST

Just at this time when the spirit
of Peace on earth, good will to-
ward men" is supposed to be more
prevalent than at any other time,
South Bend citizens are urged TO
direct a little of this spirit toward
the employees of the south Bend
postoffice.
In addition TO the usual holiday
congestion, which seems to be heav-
Ter this year than ever before in the
history of the local postoffice, the
mail handlers are further handi-
capped by the absence from duty OF
about 20 percent of the regular
postoffice force. The employees who
are absent from work are compelled
TO be away on account of sickness.
thus throwing the added burden on
those who are on duty.
The employees themselves are
just as anxious as anyone else 10
sort and deliver Christmas letters
and packages, but they are asking
for a little patience upon the part
of the public just al this time They
say that they realize the impor-
lance of Christmas mail. and they
are overwOrking themselves in an
effort to get this mail to its desti-
nation. but under the circumstances
there may be some little delay and,
if there Is. :hey ask that the public
be as patient as possible.

NEWTON EXPECTS VICTORY.
Stronger Team to Face Locals Than
One Defeated in Des Moines.

The team representing the Newton
high school on the local gridiron Sat
urday will be much stronger aggre-
CATION than that which met defeat at
Des Moines last week, If reports re-
ceived from Newton are to be relied
upon. The Newton players attribute
their defeat by East Des Moines to
stage fright Of some Of the more in
experienced players. The defeat. how
ever, is looked upon as a blessing in
disguise, as it showed the coaching
staff the defects Of the machine and
has resulted in a determination among
the team members to overcome the
weaknesses so apparent last week.
Coach Hurd had hoped to send into
the game Saturday team which might
be expected to represent the local
school turnout the season, but dis
ability OF some players has neccsst-
tated shifts and it may be another
week at least before there is any GER
tainty Of regular berths. Barlow
tackle, may not be able to start Sat
urdays game. Cray, one Of the most
promising candidates for center, has
not been in condition to participate in
practice for more than a week. Black.
another pivotal prospect, also has
been out Of condition. Crinklaw, last
years tackle, may be at the center of
the line in the Newton game.
Coach Hurd has been handicapped
by having one Of the smallest squads.
numerically and in weight, in recent
years. There have been so few can
didates, in fact, that 1t is impossible
to organize a second team.
While the local eleven expects to win
from Newton, no prediction is made as
to the score. II the team shows the
form it displayed last week the game
should result in a Marshalltown vic
tory by a fair margin.

DRILL HELPS RECRUITS.
Men Nat Camp Pike Tell Of Benefits
Derived From Local Drill.

Men who were In the July "a draft,
in writing home, tell OF the great bene.
MT derived from the preliminary drill
they received here, The military
training secured before they left for
camp has resulted in most of the men
being made non-commissioned Off
GERS, and placed "A great many OF them
IN line for their assignment to train
ing schools for both nom commissioned
and commissioned officers.
A great many OF the men who mao
'heen training AT home were MADE
corporals shortly after they had
reached the training camp. Others
were made sergeants.
There are now taking drill at home
about forty men who will go in the
next contingent. A great many more
can be accommodated, as the instruc-
ton can be given many men as well as
few. With military service ahead OF
men in the draft, the experience OF
those in camp would indicate that
time could not be spent to better ad-
vantage than to drill few hours each
week.

Fair Association Officers Thankful
Shortage Was Not Larger in View
Of Bad NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and ex'
penses Of Fair Totaled About $4,000
Receipts, All Sources 1000 Less.

The Marshall County Fair Assocra-
ton is confronted with deficit esti-
mated at about $1,000 by Secretary w.
VI. Clark. Without having complete
figures on the receipts and expenditures
Of the association for the fair held last
month, Secretary Clark believes that
the deficit will not greatly exceed this
amount. While the association regrets
that il must carry deficit into next
year, it is thankful that the deficit Is
not larger than it is, in view OF the
weather during the first two days OF
the fair.
All that prevented the shortage from
being much larger is that the associa-
ton had nearly 81. 400 in cash left from
the 1917 fair. Without this balance the
shortage would have proved serious
burden to the association.
Fair Cost About $4,000.
The gross receipts from the fair from
all sources will total little hess than
$4,000. which together with s2,S9e.54.
the cash balance the association had
left over from last year. gave the as
ISOLATION about $4,000 with which to
finance the fair. The total expenses
will run slightly above $4,000. in
GLIDING about $4,000 put into perman-
ent Improvements on the grounds this
year
The receipts from the fair include
SO. 202 80 for admissions. s1,s36 for con-
cessions, 1865 for horse race entries.
1853 for exhibitors tickets and s4O4
for stall and pen rents. In addition
there is state aid of $500 that will be
paid when the association makes its
report to the state, and about $3.50 for
other receipts from miscellaneous
sources.
To date the association has paid out
in premiums and expenses Of the fair
s15,,S9.s4 with other bills totaling
sl,400 that have not yet been audited
