County boys came over to take it
from us but we caused them as great
disappointment as they ever had.
The Training School boys had them
out-classed from beginning to end.
They had to kick only twice and
their territory was endangered. only
twice.
The bad feature is that the people
of the town will not come out to see
them perform and encourage by their
presence and finance. The latter is
always needed, as in this game there
was loss to the home boys of $50.

help us win? If you will encourage
us we will doubtless have winning

POSTOFFICE OFFICIALS
DECLARE XMAS MAIL
VOLUME IS LACKING

WASHINGTON, Dec 16-whether
the people Of the country are ignoring
the mail early" slogan of the post
office department or have experienced
strong subsistence Of the Christmas
spirit of giving is a question over
which the department today expressed
considerable concern. There has been
practically no increase in the volume
of mails due to Christmas mailing up
to the present time, said an announce
ment by the department, whereas by
Dec. 15 last year, the mails had in
creased so per cent above normal.
THE people of the United States
either have curtailed their Christmas
mailing this year or are putting it off
until the last minute" the announce
ment said. Until last Tuesday re-
ports throughout the country showed
no sign whatever of an increase in the
volume of mail and the increase shown
by reports on that days movement of
mail was so little as to be negligible"
Volume Is Lacking
Whereas Dec. Is last year more
than one-fifth of the entire Christ
mas mail had been handled" the de-
partment said, this year, practically
none can be accounted for"
'"The public was warned that con-
gestion could not be avoided" if the
negligible increase in the volume of
mail meant that Christmas mailing
was being put off until the last few
days, "even assuming that it is to be
very much lighter this year than last"
A great volume of parcel post dumped
into the mails just before Christmas
hn in
ments of bad weather conditions to
be expected at this season would
threaten to swamp the service, the
announcement said
Telegraphic reports showing the
volume of mail being handled at tn
volume of mail being handled at the
various distributing points were quoted
as follows:

The volume of mail handled by the

TAPESTRIES
FURNISH CASH FOR
PURCHASE OF FLOUR
(By Associated Press)

VIENNA, Dec. 16.-When by pur-
chase. gift and inheritance the house
of Hapsburg acquired the 900 or more
tapestries comprising the most superb
collection in the world it's members
hardly foresaw that some day they
would be pawned to buy bread for a
succeeding republic.
The Preparations commission hav-
ing given its consent, the government
is now trying to raise enough money
on these tapestries to purchase $4,000
tons of flour against the imminent eX-
hauston of the supply on hand. The
bread ration has been reduced to 20
percent wheat flour content, with SO
percent corn meal and 80 percent rye
The best that can be said of the re-
sulting bread is that a very hungry
person can eat a little of it.
Syndicate May Give Cash.
1t is understood that a movement is
on foot for the organization of an in
ternational syndicate to advance the
required amount of cash. The plan
contemplates that the tapestries
pledged will be carefully selected from
the various schools represented in the
collection and these in part or in
whole will be put on exhibition in the
great cities of Europe and America.
For some months the finest of these
weaves have been on exhibition in the
Belvidere Palace here, exposed for
the first time to the public. Always
they have been kept either in the Hof-
burg or Schoenbrun palaces, brought
out on rare state occasions in the
days of the monarchy to decorate the
great salons. The largest of them
barely find space on the sidewalks OF
the vast apartments in the Belvidere,
where daily hundreds of persons pay
the small admission fee to feast on
the wealth of color, while in every
room artists at easelS COPY them.
