NO LIMIT is PLACED ON
MAIL FOR CHRISTMAS

The postoffice department has not
received any orders to curtail ship
ments of Christmas packages.
The only advice so far has been
to mail Christmas parcels as early
as possible, but a rumor that an or
der has been given that none can be
mailed or sent by parcels post after
tomorrow is not correct, according
to Postmaster Moseley. He made the
following statement of the situation
to dates
The following order has been issu-
ed by the POstofice Department I'M
der date Of December A, 1919, urg-
ing the early mailing in Christmas
packages.
Mail them early and avoid dis
appointment.
1.-THE coal strike has caused a re-
duction of train service on some rail-
roads, and further curtailment will
doubtless be necessary if the strike
continues.
"This condition makes the early
mailing of Christmas parcels this
year more than usually important"
Patrons of this office are urged to
comply with this request

HIGH COST
COMMISSION

/ At a meeting of the Kentucky
High Cost of Living Commission
held in Louisville, Col. P. H. Gala
han of that city was elected chair
man.
Furthermore, it was announced
that the Department of Justice had
taken over this commission and its
full personnel, asking it to be the
Governmental agency to carry out
the spirit and letter of the law as
outlined in the recent extension of
the Lever Act which provides for
fine and imprisonment of any one
guilty of profteering in any of the
essentials of food, fuel and clothing,
and the Commission has now agreed
upon an extended program to effect
an organization throughout the state,
realizing that the present high cost
of living is one Of the most disturb
ing elements existing in American
life today.
Since the Commission is now un-
der the direction of the Federal Gov
eminent with the strength of the
Department of Justice behind it, any
one found profiteering in the essen
tials of life may expect to be sum-
cessary commodities, and as soon as
mittee has been organized whose du-
ty it is to fix a fair price on all ne
cesary commodities, and as soon as
these prices are completed, any one
found charging a higher price will
be promptly proceeded against thru
the U. S. District Attorneys office.
However it is absolutely neces-
sary that the public periodically do
their part in this work by promptly
reporting to the High Cost of Liv-
ing Commission at Louisville, KY,
all cases where apparent overcharge
has been made, for the field of inves-
tigation is SO very large that the com
mittee's investigators can personally
locate only small percentage Of the
offenders, therefore, it is the purpose
of this body to enlist the cooperation
of all business, civic, religious and
welfare associations, but more es-
pecially tie citizens themselves in an
effort to remedy the present condi-
ton.
A most aggressive plan of campaign
was outlined with District Attorney
Gregory and Slattery of the United
States Court present who are to give
their full cooperation and assistance
and the public now has the assurance
that any cases OF over charge report !
ed will have prompt attention but in
sending in these reports, it is abso-
lutely necessary in order to make
proper investigation that the detailed !
information be given as to the price
paid for the article itself, date of
purchase, and name of dealer, over
the signature of. the purchaser.
The efforts of the Commission SO
far have been largely confined to the
city of Louisville, where it has sue
ceeded in bringing about considera-
bic benefits and it is now our pur-
pose to entend the usefulness of this
Commission to all parts of the State,
and anyone anywhere should write
to the High Cost of Living Commits
sion, Louisville, Kentucky, if they
nave been overcharged or if they
know of any overcharging prevailing.
