MAIL
NOW Is IN LEAD
AT P'OSTOFFICE

Parcels from other sections mailed
to Douglas residents began to flow
in great stream from the arriving
mail trains yesterday and it was
by far the biggest receipts yet re-
corded this Christmas week. That
the stream will continue to grow
today and possibly even until noon
tomorrow is the belief OF the officials
at the local office The outgoing mail
continued heavy yesterday but it was
considerably under what it had been
on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Delivery of the local mail is going
forward as rapidly as it can be
handled and the force is keeping up
we'll with the receipts. The payment
of a five dollar fine yesterday by
one of the drivers On a charge Of
exceeding the speed limits is ex-
pected to have a slowing effect on
the drivers, as their WAGES are not
sufficient to make it wise to take
chances on speed, it was stated by a
postal official last evening. He said
he had no purpose in critics ng the
court but that he felt the case might
have been made something OF an
exception by remitting the fine, if
one was imposed, as the driver was
trying to carry out the wish Of the
postal authorities by making speedy
delivery.

The Kiwanians have already al,
ranged for gifts for every patient at
the hospital and Santa Claus will
present these gifts after the Kiwan-
ians start the program with songs
A church in Bisbee has sent pres
ents for the county hospital and the
county provides each patient a gift,
so that it is expected that the people
at the hospital will have a very
merry Christmas.

MAIL PACKAGES
GETS HIM FINE

While hurrying about his work in
assisting Ernest Naegle to deliver par
GELS from the Douglas postof1ice, Louis
Shotwell stepped too generously on
the gas, early yesterday with the
result that he was hailed into police
court on the charge of having ex-
ceeded the speed limit He was
assessed fine Of five doGars.
Postmaster E. j. Huxtable says
that he feels sure that it was not
the intention of Naegle to violate
any laws or ordinances but that he
was imbued with a desire to NAM
tain a speed that would make pos
sible the delivery Of parce.s, intended
for Christmas with the minimum
of delay and in keeping with the
policy OF the postoffice to dispatch
all parcels with celerity. He says
that the theory OF the department
is that all goods must be delivered
with prornptness and he understands
the rule is based on the desire to
make certain that in the case OF
ladies' hats sent by mail, they be
gotten to their destination before the
style changes.

courtesy and good will on the part of
the military. There are few army
bands of q HIGHER qualify than the
twenty-fifth and even with the regi-
ment split and half the instruments
