Among those who love 10 study political trends in the off years, there is one fact m the news that must prove of unusual interest.
 That is that Marion, Ohio. which last year sent it's leading editor to the White House, with pleasing local Repub- ican majority of 5000 this year has gone Democratic by 1,000 votes.
 t has only been a year since the presidential election, and he Republican party has been in power only a little over eight months, but 1000 voters n Marion have changed their minds and are thinking Dem- ocratie. And Marion is a smaller city than Little Rock.

and thus lose time. Make the address plain and easily read, and always use pen and ink or typewriter and light-colored envelopes, so as to save the eyes of the post office clerks. Do not use envelopes of unus- ual size. The little ones that are so frequently used for cards and notes at Christmas and other holiday times cause an untold amount of trouble and labor. Because of their size and tendency to slip out of a package, these small en- velopes are more likely to be overlooked or lost.
 Mail your letters and pack ages early in the day, because this avoids overlooking and delaying mail at the end of the day.
 Your local postmaster will tell you more about the Postal Service. Do these things, and you will win the grateful ap- preeiation of the people in your home post office and es- pecially of your postmaster general,

4 Christmas Message
 From Our Post Office
Christmas is almost here.

Santa Claus to our 100, ,000.000 people and to deliver Christ mas parcels to every family in this great country within the short space of q few days and without disappointment.
 It can be done, and we're going to do it if we may have your help. We want to en- list the active assistance of every boy and girl in the schools of our country in get ting parcels mailed THIS WEEK to relieve the rush that comes directly before Christ mas. Will you go home today and take this message to your parents and friends:
 Our postmaster has asked us to mail our Christmas par ceIs this week, for unless we do, Uncle Sam's load may be so heavy the last few days be- fore Christmas that he won't be able to deliver all the pres  ents by Christmas eve,
 The parcels must be we'll wrapped and tied and address ed plainly in order that they may arrive in good condition with their Christmasy appear ance unspoiled. You can put on your packages, Do not open until Christmas"
 There are some ohter things, too, in which you can all assist in improving the mail service and in saving our great gov ernment millions Of dollars a year that is now wasted be- cause of our earlessness- yours and mine.
 Every day that you drop a letter in the mail box 40.000,- 600 other letters are already pushing and iamming through the postal machinery. One letter a day for each family of five persons in the United States is given to Uncle Sam to deliver.
 When you send a parcel to the postoffice for mailing any day there are about 5000 oth- CT parcels ahead of yours pass ing through the postal hopper. This is in ordinary days; at Christmas time it is multiplied many times.
 One family in about every ten puts a badly addressed letter in the mail every day. This mixes up over 2,000, ,000,- 000 half addressed letters with the 2O,0ooO0o fully address ed letters. That means that the fully addressed letters must wait on the sIow-moving poorly addressed letters.
 You boys and girls can help the Postal Service and save your father some money, be- cause he has to help pay. the cost of searching addresses on letters and parcels sent out by this careless and thoughtless family in every ten.
 First, find out if your fam fly is the careless one, then bear in mind that your letters must be handled by skilled distributors standing in post offices and on swaying postal ears of miIe-a-minute mail trains, often under poor light.
 The address on every letter, card, or package must be cor rect, complete and =legible, in- cludiny the house number and name of street and the From" address should be in the up- per left-hand corner so that the mail will be returned to you in case 1t is not delivered. Do not abbreviate names of States

NO REPUBLICAN FAMILIAR with national politics
any idea that the Republican party will be able to
tain permanently its present majories in the Senate and
House of Representatives The election of 1920
been construed indication of the divs
ion of public sentiment in the United States between
Democrats and Republicans The overwhelming defeat of
the Democratic nominee in 1920 was largely a repudia-
wisconsin and rejection of the league of nations
which was foreign rather than domestic ISSUE Some
of the 100000 which made up the plurality against
the Democratic nominee the votes of Democrats who
stand for the Sociasc tendencies of their par
ty under leadership of McAdoo, Wilson, Palmer ct al
Under saner leadership of those Democrats would
undoubtedly again vote the Democratic ticket Others wiH

ably be expected that under ordinary conditions and with
ordinary issues involved the Democrats would poll
larger vote than they did in 1920.
