some of his patrons dropped dead, he

them to his palatial funeral home, and

Some years ago while in the dry Da-

whiskey from the bosom of her cor
sage, from whence it was allowed to
trickle into the guZzer's mouth by
way of rubber tube. If the guzzel

Missouri has a senator drawing
down a salry that permits the drawee

bill in the senate which would permit
Uncle Sam to accept free furniture

furniture should come in the shape
of barrels and kegs and bottles, and
that the contents should be free to

able letters at the River Falls post
office, letters culled out from among
those which you have mailed here, or
have been mailed to some patron of
this office, since this morning.
Most of these will go to the dead
letter office, where they will be
opened and, if the address or the
sender of the addressee is enclosed,
they will be forwarded or returned.
In either case there will be Scent
charge besides the several days delay
in delivery.
And today's is only an average
mail; in fact, it is slightly below the
average in unbelievable letters and
parcels.
The return card-the notation at
the left hand upper corner of the
envelope-will prevent all this incon-
venience, and every mailing should
carry this instruction, where to re-
turn in case Of non-delivery 1t is
more important even than the send
ing address.
To enumerate the errors in adj
| dressing which make mail undeliver-
able would take a whole newspaper
but among the most popular" is
careless writing, thoughtless ommis-
sions in address, attempts at fancy
penmanship or different" forms, and
wrong or ommitted initials.
One letter received last week went
to five families before it was "locat-
ed just because there was nothing to
designate to which family it was in
tended to go. (No, it wasn't john
son, Smith or Brown, either.)
Of course, the address of the adj
dressee should be carefully and fully
written, but the main thing is the
return card. It's your letter or par
eel, and if the one you intend it for
doesn't get it you want it back, if
for no other reason than to know that
it wasn't delivered.
No one can appreciate the extent of
carlessness in addressing mail until
he or she has seen it even in the
comparatively small quantities that
pass through this office.
In conclusion, and before you re-
sumo your crossword puzzle, give us
9 tip as to whom we should deliver
two ltters received within the past
two days, one addressed to "The
Boatman," and the other to "The
Authority" both at River Falls, Wis.

National Guard Notes

Capt. Mangan, a Regular Army
Officer paid the local guard init a
visit of instruction last Wednesday
Capt. Mangan is stationed at La
Crosse, Wis, and visits all the Ma
tional Guard Units in this corner Of
the State about three times a year.
The date for the Annua! Federal
Inspection has not been definitely de-
termiEed but it will come within the
next few weeks.
The Armory has been engaged for
a Band Bereft early in February ana
also for the lzdak Walton League
p 'quet No dances have been held
this year in the Armory due TO the
fact that the exemption which APP
piled to National Guard Companies
American Legion Posts, ETC., under
the County Dance Hall Ordinance
last year was repealed by the County
Beard at their November Session.
Dances pay poorly enough in River
Falls without license and inspection
fee. Several private parties for com
pany members only are planned for
the near future, however.
Sgts. Matt Nelson and Ed. Fol
lansbee have re-enlisted, their terms
of enlistment both running out this
