OLD TIME FIESTA

bath and for q feast celebrating the
nativity of st. John the Baptist.
This year, recording 4 the news
papers. there was a ma led decrease
i'm the observance OF tlst day. The
bath houses which in former years die

INTERNATIONAL
PARCEL POST IS
WIDELY EXTENDED

A brief sketch of the work accom-
plished by the post office department
In extending the international parcel
post service is contained in PAM
phlet just issued by the national for
eign trade council. At the end OF
1918. England has parcel post con-
ventions with 195 overseas countries.
while the United States had arrange
ments with only % such nations. In
other words. the American foreign
trader was at q competitive disadvan-
tage in 1os countries.
Since January /, 1919. due to the
activity OF this department under
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Praeger. who is directly In charge OF
that work. our parcel post has been
resumed with thirteen regions In
which it's operation was prevented
by the war; and has been extended
for the first time to Siam. Palestine.
Mesopotamia. Union OF South Africa.
Luxembourg. Paraguay. Algeria. Corr
sica. Tunis, Egypt, India and Rou-
mania
AT the invitation of Mr. Praeger, q
meeting was held at Washington some
time ago to consider the general SUBJ
ject of parcel post service and its ex-
tension. One result OF this conference
was the formation OF an organization
OF business men to advise the post
office department on desired changes
In the parcel post system and to CO.
operate with the department in pro-
noting the. extension OF the service.

THE IS. A." DRIVE


All round the town in windows and
on billboards you can see
A slogan that's signifieant-at least
it is to me;
1t says: "A man may be plumb down
but he never can be out
Or something pretty much like that /;
you've seen the words no doubt,
That kind of hits me hard and strong
as reasonable enough.
Providing there's some human hand
no matter just how rough
Misfortune has been to a man, to
lend him just mite,
Cf help-a smile, word, prayer
or maybe just bite
or food when he is hungry, or a
broth'rly sort of shove
To keep him ina sympathy that's
born of simple love.
The institution that can preach that
doctrine every day
And praitice it in peace or war must
know the proper way
To hand out religion that will stand
the test of time,
And overflow into far eternity sub
lime.
And SO / mind to have hand sup
porting such creed;
TO make the slogan its most there's
likely now q need
For funds and while my scads are few
my pile is running down;
For such cause its never "out" while

The Pacific coast condition is
just as serious, the reports show,
with strikes and threats growing
more serious. The heaviest un-
