Some Sidelights
Christmas at the
Augusta POStOmce

Have you ever observed the Christ
mas mailers going and coming from
the post office? An interesting study
IN human nature. Several weeks in
advance of the festival the process
sion begins. The first to come are
those with parcels intended for
friends across the water. England,
France. Germany, Russia, Poland,
China and India have all contributed
to the population of Augusta and
our foreign born citizens never ne
elect to send love and good cheer to
relatives and. friends at the Christ
mas season. You will note the care

ers and the postal clerks say they
are plainly and fully addressed for
the senderS are aware of the long
journey and the scrutiny Of customs
officials. Having paid their postage
and with the help of the postal clerk
filled out the customs declaration,
their faces register satisfaction and
perfect confidence in entrusting their
gifts to the custody of their adopted
country. Along with the early mail
ings are plum buildings and cakes
which mothers have prepared to send
10 their boys in the army and navy.
There also come to the stamp win

will journey by way of the Augusta
Office to homes in every state.
December "a, come the late mail
ers. The serene smile, the apparent
indifference cannot conceal the sec
ret determination to be on time an
other season, and we sympathize
with them for that neglect which
has caused them to disregard the
Mail Early" slogan and caused dis
appointment to their friends.
Did you ask about the post cardso
Yes, the volume increases daily. For
a couple Of days before Christmas
two clerks are employed constantly
facing up cards preparatory to run
ming them through the cancelling
machine.
The postal workers have been busy
preparing for the big rush which be-
gins about 10 days previous to
Christmas. OF course, at the Angus
"a Office the large mail order houses
have, several weeks, been shipping
vast quantities of parcel post to
their patrons. To this is added now
daily, the gifts prepared and present
ed by the individual mailers. Stamps
have been precancelled, auxiliary
help engaged and additional facilities
for separation made, and everything
put in readiness to expedite mail
ings. From the Augusta office there
is now going out. daily, 800 or more
sacks of Christmas goods which
amount will probably double when
the height of the Christmas season
is reached. Many sacks are made up
and labelled direct to the Office of
destination while other sacks are
made up in states to eliminate all
unnecessary handling in transit. E,x-
ira cars have been provided in the
mail trains and the Christmas BUSH
ness moves as smoothly as if condi-
tons were not at all unusual.

CoIIes. Days in "Two Minutes to
Go"

While the football game in the
latest Charles Ray feature, Two
Minutes to Go" is wonder and
brings the photoplay to a crashing
climax, there are other incidents
which hold the interest of audiences
from first to last. There is no boy
or girl. however old, who has been
to college. who will not enjoy to the
utmost the scenes where the fresh
freshmen take advantage Of the alb
sence of the seniors at a party on
Halloween to collect a mass of iun,,
and put it in the seniors dormitorv
corridors. There are gates. barber
poles, chicken pens and wooden In
dian signs and other choice relics.
Every college boy or girl will IN
derstand the feelings of Charles Raw
when he is supposedly caught with
the goods, and sympathize with him.
and laugh at the natural way the
tricks are played. Only a boy at
heart could have devised such
scenes and only perennial youth
could have given them the direction
which Charles Ray has accomplish
ed. The detail is remarkable and
the spirit which he injected into the
players is true to life. 1t is college
life personified. Many of the actors
and actresses engaged were merely
living their school days over again.

tional attraction, will be shown at

most gratifying response. The appeal
first appeared in Saturdays issue and

SO fast does the action move that

| came when 1.-The Fast Mail" thun-
dered across the stage in the title
role. But the camera, handling the
theme with much broader scope.
has managed to include, instead of
the one thrill, one dare devil stunt
after another, until the audience
gasps. Charles Jones, who plays the
role Of the hero, Walter West, claims
that he has no nerves. and this pic
ture will surely uphold that state
ment
It is melodrama pure and simple.
but remarkably well DONE OF
course, West is in love with Mary,
and she with him. The rejected
sutton does all in his powr to mar
their happiness. Action first comes
with thrill steeplechase, where
West, on whom all the money is
placed to win is fouled.
There is action of all sorts. Fast
horses. fast boats, fast trains. fast
machines, and as a fitting climax to
it all. a realistic fire. Through all
this storm West wins to success and

heart from the burning building.
