Shop And Mail Early
For Safe Delivery
All Packages Should Be Securely
Wrapped and Legibly Address
ed-Delays May Disappoint.

With Christmas but a trifie more
than five weeks away, Postmaster
Whitman desires to call the attention
of the public TO the adYisability OF
doing their Christmas shopping and
mailing early. 1t is none too early to
be planning your holiday mailings now.
The Postoffice department permits the
sender to place on the outside of pack
ages the words Not to be opened until
Christmas" or similar phrases. With
the vast number of packages handled
during this season of the year, it is
essential to good service h a the pat
rons of the local postoffice do o put
off until the last minute the sending
of their gifts. This also applies to
greeting cards and mail in general.
1t is the desire of the Postmaster to
give the local people the best possible
service. both in outgoing and incoming
mail. Last Christmas every package
received at the Pleasantvilie Office was
in the addressee's hands within a very
short time after its receipt. Not a sin
gle deliverable package remained in
the Pleasantville Postofice after noon
on Christmas. All packages arriving
on the early train Christmas Day were
delivered by noon. This necessitated
hard work and long hours Upon the
part of every member of the force.
This is also true of all outgoing mail.
Notwithstanding the greatly increased
number of parcels and pieces of first
class mail. every letter and every
package was dispatched on the first
outgoing mail train after its receipt at
the Office. With this steady flow of
excess mail. both incoming and outgo-
, iag; : ssa a,t 3 E S S4Pj5a ss 3 ss tess 4 d + y
it must of necessity relieve an other
wise ~congested condition, and insure
better service to the public.
Another point hat should be borne
in mind is the securely packing and
wrapping of all packages. This Is not
only a protection to you, but is a rule
the department insists upon 1t is
urged that all packages be insured,
and that they be SO wrapped hat there
can be no doubt of their acceptance
for mailing.
Plan now your Christmas purchases.
Be prepared to mail your gifts SO that
they will secure the best service.
Mail early. Mail often.

Church was entertained Thursday ev-

L. Shaw was master of ceremonies
and introduced several novel amuse-

failed to function, and for a time the
ladies were much worried about the
question of refreshments. However,
the old leafs" committee came to the
rescue and served gum drops and 9TH

were enjoyed and at the close of the
evening it was the unanimous request
of the men that the ladies serve them
a roast turkey dinner early in Deem

so unanimous

Virginia Dare Mystery Again Recalled

by DR.. White Hough, head of the di-
vision of anthropology of the Smith
sonian institution, in effectively break
ing the theory that the colonists had
been captured by Indians, and upon
the death of little Virginia Dare, the
first child born in America, Charles
r." had left this tablet over her grave,
or how the colony had been fright
ened from their original settlement
and had moved along the Atlantic
coast and up the Potomac river to the
headquarters of the Powhatan tribe,
there to perish.
Starting with the figure 80" in
1890" Doctor Hough explained that
the person who had made the inscrip-
ton had failed to follow faithfully the
correct formation of the figure, using
the modern way of writing it instead
of the form it Is given in type, that
of the figure 6 turned upside down.
The rapidlty with which he de-
scribed other discrepancies definitely
established the fact that the "histori-
cal tablet" was not authentic.

VIII Hays and His Hollywood Troubles

emperor. VIII was to be carl 1t
was a golden opportunity.
But VIII rocked not of Hollywood.
1t seems that Hollywood was just
about ready to erupt when Will took
the helm. Maybe the movie magnates
knew this and wanted czar to bear
the brunt of 1t all. In any event.
Hollywood blew off with loud bang.
Several times VIII has been there to
fix things up, and always every one
promised to be good, oh, SO good in the
future. Yet VIII can hardly set foot
on Broadway until the patter of bull
lets comes flying over the great open
spaces from out there where men are
men and women are women and chnuf-
feurs are shooters, and everything
seems to go wrong. Once more VIII
is winging his way to the bad lands,
and this time he says he is going to
clamp the lid down and rivet it on for
good.
Before long the cZar will be dwell
ing once more on the beauties of life
In the movie colony, the chaste at
mosphere of the entire place. the re-
finements of language, the elegance
of manners, the delicacies of feeling
and above all the great true throb-
bing love which pervades sll and
makes all things pure and sweet and

EXPERIMENT WITH TERRAPlN
Biologists at North Carolina Station
Learn Many Interesting Things
Concerning Them.

Experiments carried on at the Beau
fort, n. c., biological station in rela-
ton to the diamond-back terrapin have
been attended by especially interest
ing results. The information sought,
in dealing with thirty small lots of
terrapins, concerns the proper care and
handling of the young and adult speci-
mems, the best method of Matching the
eggs, the result of cross, selective and
line breeding, and the longevity of
terrapins. A report on the matter
reads:
1.-The care and handling of the young
have been perfected to the extent that
the death rate quite probably is lower
during the first year than it is among
chickens on the average poultry farm,
and after the age of one year IS at
tanned the death rate is entirely
negligible.
sit seems particularly noteworthy,
in relation to the longevity of the dia-
mond-back terrapin, that from among
the wild terrapins confined when the
experiments were first undertaken only
one, a female, has died. The ages
of these terrapins, of course, are not
known. They show no signs of old
age except that the carapace has in
many cases been worn very smooth;
they appear healthy and vigorous and
still produce eggs, although not quite
as many as they once did. During
the summer of 1923, up to September
80, 556 young had been removed from
the egg beds provided for lot of the
wild brood terrapins which now con-
sist of 10 females and 80 males.
Especial attention is being devoted
to the production of large and fast
growing terraDinS"

"Sucker Lists" From u. S. Patent Office

ed Is sent a highly engraved letter
stating that the announcement OF his
success has attracted the attention of
the company and that it might sell
the rights of his valuable patent on n
commission basis. Later n contract
is sent to be signed, and in II is
found n fiattering figure. ostensibly
representing the sum for which the
company intends selling the inven-
tlon. The usual 5 per cent commission
is included.
From time to time thereafter, the
inventor is called upon by the COM
pany, which asserts the sale Of his
patent is temporarily delayed, to de-
poslt with the firm money for pat
ent abstract" prospectus" and 9TH
er things said to be essential to the
sale. The price for each ranges from
$40 upward. These fees continue in
series until the inventor is gracefully
disillusioned, by being told the COM
pany was mistaken In its first ap-
praisement and that 1t cannot sell his
article. Sometimes the inventor is
neglected entirely.
The local headquarters of the in
ventors league Is swamped with let
ters from all parts Of the country ask
ing Its aid in obtaining redress against

How VIII Women Vote in the Primaries?

The right of the women to take an
presidential aspirants, their campaign
managers and the political leaders. In
both the Republican and Democratic
parties there are candidates for the
presidency who welcome the advent of
the women in the primaries. There
are others, avowed or receptive, who
undoubtedly would feel safer If they
had to deal only with the old system
by which the bosses ruled so success
fully.
In states where the old methods
prevail there is little likelihood that
the women will exert any greater in
fluence upon the political fiXers than
the average male voter has been able
to do since the creation OF the pres
ent party system.
In the score of strategical states
where the primary laws allow the vot-
ers to express their Will at the polls
with the same freedom that they do
in general elections, different stu
alton is presented. There even may
be enough votes at stake in this lat
ter group of states TO WELD a balance
of power In both major party national
conventions. Just how potent the
women will be in these primary states
cannot be determined. There are no
available statistics upon which fore
cast might be based.
