DO CHRISTMAS MAILING EARL,
Postoffice Anxious to Break Rush Of
Season


Placards can be noticed around the
postoffise bearing the information to
send your Christmas packages early.
to wrap them securely, and to ad-
dress plainly. The usual efforts will
be started at once to speed up the
Christmas packages and to try to get
peope to shop early and mail early,
and while these efforts generally
have been mavailing in any large
sense, the force hoped for some re-
suits. Packages mailed early can be
marked mot be opened until Christ
mas" or 'Merry Christmas" or any
thing to acquaint the addressee with
the fact that the parcel is for Christ
mas, the postmaster said. All par
ces should be insured to assure safe
and quick delivery because the first
class mail and the newspapers have
the right of way.
The postmaster expressed desire
that more people understood the
difference between special delivery
mail and insured or registered. A
special delivery stamp does not in
sure a letter or parcel, but merely
speeds delivery, he said, and the law
does not provide for the payment Of
lost special delivery letters. Parcel
post mail should be insured and first,
second and third class mail should be
to assure safe delivery.

"YOu don't live alone here?"
"Alone? I should say not. Why,

I looked at this farmer a moment
in silence. and then ventured to
say. taking my risk Of hurting the
feelings Of man who had never had
a sick day in his life:
According to your own state
ments, though the rain spoiled your
last cutting Of alfalfa, though you
had to sell your steers at a loss.
though wheat dropped to $1.98,
though you can not get farm help for
love or money. though you cannot at

You never had sick day in your life.

don't you look at your blessings?
Why don't you fall on your knees
