PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS
Postoffice Getting Ready For AM
nual Rush

The Christmas rush is just be-
ginning at the local postoffice but
preparations are being made by
Postmaster Halleck and his force
to handle the holiday packages
with all possible dispatch. The
force in the postoffice will be in
creased by the addition Of three
men, four men will be added to
the force Of carriers, and two au-
tomobiles will be added for the
delivery of parcels. In Abilene
packages will be delivered the day
before Christmas although it is
Sunday, and Christmas day until
noon. Some Christmas parcels
are already coming into the local
postoffice for delivery to Abilene
people, according to the postmas-
ter.
All packages should be mailed
so as to reach their destination
not later than December 23, al
lowing for possible delay because
"a tilC LUSH. OStmdSlcT I1dilcCk
has posted the following schedule
for mailing in order to insure the
package reaching its destination
by Christmas day:
Central Kansas, Dec. 20; within
500 mile radius, Dec. 10; west of
Denver to Montana, Dec. 1S;
Montana south to Arizona and
Ohio south to Alabama, Dec. 16;
Atlantic and Pacific coast states
not later than Dec. IS.
In this connection attention is
called to the advantage Of early
mailingf Mail deposited in the
local postoffice from 8 a. m. until
4:15 p. m, having a decided ad-
vantage over matter mailed from
4:15 p. m. to $3.50 p. m, the diff
ferences in many instances being
almost "a hours. For instance
mail deposited in the local post
Office from 8 a. m. until 1890 p.
m. will reach Chicago the next
while If mailed from
5:15 to $3.50 p. M, It will not
reach Chicago until the second
What is true Of Chicago
also applies to other points.

s Everett Aker has three littl,
rabbits. Their names are no,
Peter like some rabbits we read
OF In story books but one Is named
Beth, one Robert and one Red.
They are tame little bunnies with
long soft ears and funny wiggly
Noses. Everett Feeds his pets three
times day and you can just i'm,
ag1ne how glad they are to see
their. master coming at meal time.
IN the summer time they love to
eat grass and clover but In the
winter food Is not so plentiful all
about them and they have to de-
pend on the meals their master
brings. In the evening they hop
right into their tiny house and
cuddle up close together for q good
nights sleep, as soon as they are
fed.
One day Red found carrot
and like good little rabbit, in
stead Of eating 1t all up right
quick, he hoped Off with the car
rot In his mouth and took 1t to his
master.
And how do you suppose all
those little bunnies wash their
faces? Perhaps you know al
ready. What l think must have !,
happened was that Mrs. Cat called
over the back fence to Mrs. Rab-
bit and tol dher how dirty her
little kitten children's faces II
were. Then Mrs. Rabbit proba- ;
)ly said that her children had '
lirty faces too and What shall v

1t children to wash their faces u
sith their front paws after they II
ad picked their paws with their &c
title pink tongues. For Everetts hi
lree rabbits wash their faces re
lst the way kittens wash theirs, fr

CURE FOR HARD
TIMES ON FARMS.

II. J. Waters In Kansas City
Star: "In selling farm products
the value Of the surplus usually
sets the price Of the entire out
put. A case In which this rule did
not apply Is found In the expert
ence of the potato growers Of Ford
County, Kansas. Seventeen farm
ers in that county grow more po-
tatoes that the entire county can
consume. In addition to having
to meet the problem Of disposing
Of this surplus the growers here
t0fOre have had the usual COM
D tition from the outside. TO
overcome both of these Difficult
ties the growers formed an assO-
citation, secured the cooperation
OF two wholesale houses In Dodge
City, and also promise from
these houses not to ship potatoes
into the county until all local
stock was exhausted. The whole
sale dealers further agreed to pay ,
the local growers price equalto ,
he cost OF the shipped In product. ;
rhis change I'm the usual order
If selling made difference to
he growers Of from 20 to 80
ents hundred pounds without
harging the consumer more for n
otat0es than he has always paid. II
"In most markets when local IL
lrmers are shipping some com u
lodity out, the merchants are re
llpping that same commodity In. III
Jithin few weeks after the la
zark apple crcI, is gathered 1t NJ

70 poultry are shipped from

WOULD CHANGE AUTO TAX
Ellis County Man Has Plan {.
Tax Gas.

i Tax Gas.
A bill certain to rivet the .atten
ton Of every legislator when in
troduced at the forthcoming ses
sion is being prepared by Jacl
OLoughlin, Ellis county represen
tafive. This measure will pr6vid,
for the removal Of the autOmo
bile tax and to take the place Of It,
n tax on gasoline.
"There is nothing fair about
the present method of automobile
taxation" declares OLaughlin.
"Jim Smith, who is a farmer and
drives to town once or twice n
week. may be, pays just as much
on his car as | do on a service car
here at the gagage that is kept
going all the time. 1t is not
fair adjustment"
Briefly, Mr.. OLoughln's plan
would work something like this:
Assess all cars the same as other
lersonal property, Then let the
lssc5or, at the time he assesses
he car, send the number of it jn |
o the secretary of state. The |
ecretary of state will at once is
ne a tag at cost and Elail it di-
ect to the owner Of the car. In
identally, the Ellis county repre-
pntative will bag for himself
ouple of birds with one stone ON

on there will be no need of
ate tag inspector There will
2 further provision which will

PARISIAN ASSERTS MEN
 WILL POWDER NOSES
 TO WIN WIOMEN'S LOVE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. II. - Cave love-" said Victor Vivaudou, Paris perfumer, who is on d visit here To-day woman's love is given to the man who comes to her fresh from his barber with a well-powdered nose and a scented aroma.
 Tt is only question of time un- til every man will be using cosmet- ics.
 "In South America men, are using aids to beauty and attraction here tofore employed only by women.
 "Would man today make love to a woman with red and shiny nose? Certainly not. The time is ap- preaching when women won't trouble to look twice at man with shiny beak.
 "Women have learned the art of women's appearal to the other sex is their very life. Place two girls side by side-one whose lips are rouged and one whose lips are not. Which girl will the man select every time? The one whose natural beauties have been enchanced beyond doubt
 "The girls with dry lips, with colorless lips, do not allure the masculine sex.
 "Lipsticks for men? Why not? Of course I do not mean the kind that give accentuated coloring, but those that keep the lips moist and with natural shading. It is merely cus- tom after all.
 "The man who makes use of cos- metics will be repaid a hundredfold for his efforts by the greater love and affection which will be lavished upon him by the women"
