from the Cleveland convention has
been most reassuring to his friends
and supporters. They claim the
party is now ready to meet the
Democrats with a united front.
The Presidents advisors are dis.

Timely Suggestions
By p. o. Department

One of the important features in
the "Shop Early, Mail Early cam
paign, which is being put on through
out the country by the Post Office
Department, is the proper addressing
and securely wrapping of Christmas
packages. When you wrap your
Christmas packages, wrap them Sc
curely, put your address in the upper
left corner, so, if by any chance, it
should go astray, it can be returned
to you and not sent to the dead letter
office.
The good folks of our community
last year helped to bring joy and
happiness to hundreds of thousands of
postmen and clerks. Let's do our
shopping early and mailing early
again this year, so that we may again
enable the postmen and the post office
clerks to eat their Christmas dinners
home with their families and at the
same time assure ourselves of having
our Christmas presents delivered to
our friends in order that they may be
opened on Christmas morning.
