POST OFFICE WILL
DELIVER CHRISTMAS
PACKAGES TONIGHT


TIE Red Lodge post office is exper-
iencing the biggest rush in its history,
according to Postmaster C. R. North
rop. Although the postal employees
have been relieved of an overwhelm-
ing amount of the last minute rush
of former years they have been busy
distributing and handling Holiday
parcels until late hours in order to
avoid congestion and to make parcel
deliveries for the public to enjoy on
Christmas day.
Mr.. Northrop announces that the
delivery windows at the post office
will be open tonight and tomorrow
night to deliver packages, but no par
cells will be accepted for mailing. On
Christmas day mail will be handled
as it is on Sundays.
Mr. Northrop further states that the
local department has met with a gra-
tifying response to the mail early"

To Edith, Elsie, Stanley and Dean
Sometimes when winter air is crisp
And soft the snowfakes fly,
There is picture comes to me
Of days long since gone by.
Two little girls with rosy cheeks
Two boys with eyes dark gray
And ripples of happy laughter
That frightened the wintry day.
Stockings hung in the corner,
"S'prises" here and there,
While a golden glow of loving
Came in with the crisp night air.
Stories told by the f1ickering lamp
"The night before Christmas" and
such,
The dear little Babe in the manger
With the mother who loved Him much.
Excitement, how it gathered!
And brought to each face a glow,
For cold was MT cold at Christmas
still see your tracks in the snow!
Days drag in the glow of childhood
Yet Time hurries swiftly along,
And ere you know what you're doing,
You're keeping abreast with the
throng.
Childhood has gone with its wonders
Yet you're blest if the afterglow
Lingers-lingers and grightens your
pathway
Fen though your progress is slow.
Work, and while working, be happy,
Play, and while playing, be fair;
Hope, love and faith your companions,
With study, and patience and prayer,
Sing when your pathway is toughest,
Laugh at confusion and strife
Remember, it's humor and courage
Put the color into Life.
Carry bit of my spirit
Over each troublesome grade,
Though roses grow in the sunlight,
Violets thrive in the shade!
am sure you will gather the meaning,

BEARCREEK TOOTH
GETS PUBLICITY
In LARGE PAPERS
(From Billings Gazette.1


Finding Of human tooth deposited
in the coal beds of the Bearcreek field
of Carbon county by DR.. J. G. F. Sieg-
friedt Of Bearcreek, last month"; has
created somewhat of a furore in the
scientific world and great deal Of
space is being given to discussions of
the find by metropolitan newspapers
and scientific journals.
The New York Herald Tribune of
few weeks ago devoted full page to
discussion Of the tooth Of the Bear
creek man, written by E. E. Free, Ph.
D. The story is illustrated with pic
lures of the tooth, the mountain area
in which it was found and of restora-
tions of the primitive hoofed animal
Euprotogonia to the teeth of which
the tooth found by DR.. Siegfriedt is
likened.
DR.. Siegfriedt recently unearthed
some more fossils in the Eagle mine
at Bearcreek, which appear to have
considerable scientific value. X-ray
pictures Of the tooth found by Or.
Siegfriedt were made in the office Of
DR.. Louis w. Allard, and these showed
that material contained in the tooth
is of equal density throughout, the pic
ure showing no shadows such as vari-
ability of the material would disclose.
DR.. Frees article in the New York
Herald Tribune follows
"On November Z, all Associated dis
patch from Billings, Montana, aston
ished the scientific world by reporting
the discovery of fossil human tooth
found in a coal mine near Bearcreek,
in that state, and believed to belong
to the Eocene period. Since these Eo-
Gene beds are thought to have been
formed at least 50,000,000 or 60,000,-
600 years ago, and since neither man
nor monkey is believed to have devel-
oped anywhere on earth many mill
ion years after that date, the aston
ishing character of the Montana dis
covery is apparent. If the Bearcreek
tooth really is a fossil from these beds,
and if it really is human tooth of
the lowliest savage, the entire history
of the human species on earth, as geol-
ogists now read history, will have to
be rewritten.
ut is not too much to say that if the
Montana tooth is human it will be the
most important fossil ever found. Man
now is believed to be not much more
than 100000 years old. A few ven
turesome theorists among the geolo-
gists would grant the human species a
chance at somewhat greater antiquity,
possibly as much as 100000 years.
Monkey1Hke and ape-like creatures
lived on earth somewhat earlier than
these dates, but nothing in the least
human goes back to the Eocene. Even
the famous ape-man of Java, a new
skull of which creature was recently
reported as found near the Javan will
age of Trini, is mere youngster
few weeks out of the cradle compared
with the hoary antiquity of the newly
found Montana molar.
"Geologists will be slow to accept
the necessity of this revision of their
theories. Already several of them
have entered the lists against the
claims made for the Montana tooth.
From the University of Chicago and
from Washington come press reports
quoting geological authority to the
effect that the Montana discovery is
impossible; that the tooth in question
cannot be both human and as ancient
as it appears to be.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
By Edison R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma

THAT you should boost your city morning,
noon and night.
THAT the growth of your city is the personal
responsibility of every citizen in it..
THAT a city all wrapped up in itself never gets
$ anywhere.
THAT city full of cutters always loses in the
of progress.
THAT your city is the best in every way. You
should tell the world about it, not once in while but
all the while.
THAT all citizens should be proud that they are
privileged to live there They should all be go-get-
ters and get everything they go after.
THAT your city is a self-starter. Your citizens
should never let it become selfstopper.
THAT most communities need increased COOP
GRAFTON to make them better
TOO MANY CITIES HAVE OBSTINATE
MEN-THE FELLOWS WHO DO NOT HOLD
PINIONS-OPINIONS HOLD THEM.
NARRoWNEss OF MIND is THE CAUSE
OF OBSTINACY. MARROW MINDED PEOPLE
ARE NEVER OPEN TO CONVICTION. THEY
JUST GROWL ALL THE WHILE.
BE AN OPTIMIST! AN OPTINIIST is THE
FELLOW WHO SEES THE GOOD IN THE HOME

A Lesson from the Past

WHO doesn't remember the legend on the back
of our Sunday School lesson leaves as long ago as
the memory will stretch?
There was the bunch of grapes and the line ex-
planning the value of the acid they contained in MAX
ing baking POWDER and then the slogan that fingered
in the mind of every child
One little girl even prayed at night: ooh Lord,
make me like Royal Baking Powder-Absolutely
Pure"
The familiar advertisement was directly appeal
ing, and lasting in it's effect.
If you have legitimate merchandising
vice proposition, we'd like to show you how it can be
proftably advertised. A direct appeal through the
Carbon County News carrying a message of lasting
effect may make your business profitable as that
of other well known concerns who realized the i'm
portance of advertising.
