Do Christmas Mailing Early,
Is Advice Of Postmaster
Local Government Employees Ask
i. Cooperation of Public During
. Holiday Season

An appeal is being made by the
force in the Sank Centre post Of
flee for people to do &heir Christ
mas mailing early.Sa There is "a
particular reason; for stressing the
point of early mailing this year for
as Christmas comes on Sunday
and the postal department gives the
post office employees the following
day for holiday, two days inter-
vene when little work can be done
and the congestion must be clear
ed away before Christmas day.
Particular care should be given
to wrapping and packing all par
GELS shipped during the holiday sea-
son for the mails are so crowded
with packages that there is danger
of damage unless great care is US
ed. Any merchandise which can
be easily damaged should be mark
ed fragile" in large letters and
either Grated or securely wrapped.
Articles likely to spoil within the
time reasonably required for
transportation and delivery will not
be accepted for mailing. Any
perishable goods should be packed
carefully and marked "perishable. /"
1t is well, according to the post
al clerks, to be very careful about
addresses. They should be COM
plete with house number and name
Of state, post office box or rural
number and these should be either
typed or written in ink. A return
card should be placed in the upper
left corner of each piece of mail. If
a tag is used, the address and re-
turn card should also be written on
the wrapper of the package so that
if the tag is lost the parcel will not
be lost as well.
Parcels are limited as to size
and weight. No parcel may be
more than "a inches in length and
girth combined. In the first, sec
ond and third zones, 20 pounds is
the maximum weight and in all
other zones, SO lbs.
During the holiday time the vol
ume of mail increases approximate
ly 200 per cent. 1t is physically
impossible to handle this great mass
of mail matter with in a few days
so the public should CO. operate by
shopping and mailing early. Gifts,
greetings and letters for Christmas
should be sent at least a week or
ten days in advance of the date in
accordance to the distance. Christ
mas cards and gifts addressed to
points within one days travel
should be mailed not later than
Dec. 20; within three days travel,
not later than Dec. 16, and for
more distant points, not later than

What do you know about the

SO by what kind of people? Are
they like the men of earth in form
land character? Are they subject
to the same emotions? Are they
peaceful or warlike? Does intel
lect or brute force prevail? Has

earth? These, as well as many
other questions, will be answered

Sank Lake Closed
To Winter Fishing
Order Mentions Several Stearns
County Lakes for Fish Propa-
CATION

According to an official notice
sent out by j. F. Gould, commits
sioner of game and fish, Sank Lake
and several others in Stearns,
Meeker and Todd counties have
been set aside for the purpose of
fish propagation.
This means that the taking of
game fish will be prohibited in
Sank Lake during the winter
months. Owing to the fact that
the lake has been closed to spear
ing in fish houses during the past
few years, it is not likely that it
will again be opened for that pur-
pose.
Other lakes mentioned in this
order are Birch lake in Todd coun-
ty, Grand, Rice and Pearl in
Stearns county and Koronis in
Meeker and Stearns counties. The
use of fish houses, according to the
order, is not prohibited on the lat
ter mentioned lakes. Pickerel,
carp, dogish, buffalo, whitefsh,
suckers and redhorse may be taken
from today until February /, 1928.
