RUSH GETS WE'LL UNDER

Record Volume of Christmas Holt
day Mails Is Indicated.

That much Christmas shopping is
being done early and that the busy
season Is getting well under way evil
dences at the postoffice show unmis-
takably. Notwithstanding the high
cost of things. the Christmas fund Of
spending money seems to be a bounte-
Gus one and indications point to de-
cidedly the biggest volume of business
ever of record at the local postoffice.
In order to meet the emergency and
to handle the big mails with the most
rapid dispatch possible Postmaster B.
S. Hancock and his assistants are
straining every possible effort. Several
new clerks are being broken in or have
already been broken in and the expert
enced members of the force are being
placed to serve to the very best ad-
vantage.
The trains, though nearly all running
late more or less bring great stacks
of mail, including big volume of par
GELS post and considerable overtime
work is found necessary to prevent
early congestion, such as usually may
be expected in spite of all effort for
a few days Immediately previous and
during the holidays.
