ing Christmas Mail

With Christmas little more than
one month away, Postmaster H. W..
Ward urges patrons of the local Of
flee to cooperate with the Postal
Department in the early delivery of
Christmas parcels. Mr.. Ward says
that there will be no delivery of mail
on Christmas Day this year, so per-

day are reminded that they will have
to mail them early. There is one ex-
ception to this statement, and that is
in the event that parcels have spe-
cial delivery stamp on them, then the
Postal Department must see that
such parcels are delivered on Christ
mas day or whenever they arrive.
The postoffice will make every ef-
fort to handle the Christmas mails
without congestion and delay, but ow-
ing to the enormous volume this can
only be done with the cooperation OF
, the public. Shop now and MAIL
EARLY for early delivery.
Compliance with the following sug-
gestions will greatly aid the postof-
flee and will also insure the prompt
handling of all mail:
All parcels must be securely wrap
ped or packed. Use strong paper
and heavy twine.
Articles easily broken or crushed
must be Grated or securely wrapped.
Use liberal quantities of excelsior, OF
like material, in, around, and between
the articles and the outside container.
Glassware, fragile, toys, crockery

ROAD BOOSTERS TO
GATHER AT WINDOW
Second District Advocates of
Good Roads to Meet Dec.
6. RabcOck to be Present

Good roads boosters from all over
the second district will meet at Win
dom on Thursday afternoon, Decem-
Der 6, in order to organize the various
counties of the district to carry on
campaign for better roads and parti-
cularly to create sentiment for an in
crease in the gasoline tax and in a
bond issue if possible. The guest of
honor at this meeting will be Com
missioner c. M. Babcock. The meet
ing is under the auspices of the Min
nesota Good Roads association.
The fact that Mr.. Babcock will be
on the program will be sufficient rea-
son for there being big crowd in at
tendance. Hundreds of people who
have never had the opportunity of
hearing or meeting Mr.. Babcock will
be on hand at this meeting. 1t will
take place at the Wonderland theatre
at two o'clock in the afternoon.
That there is sure to be new high
way legislation in the coming session
of the legislature is a settled fact.
Newspapers and individuals who
boosted for the amendment providing
for diversion of part of the gas tax
to secondary roads did SO with the
understanding that the tax would be
increased SO that no funds would be
taken from the trunk highway sys-
tenn. From the tone of their remarks
they intend to do all in their power to
keep Minnesota in the progressive
list. Governor Christianson himself
is in favor Of an increase in the gas
tax.
All who are interested in the cause
of good roads are urged to attend this
meeting. It is being held in the in
terest of the welfare of the state, and
all should be interested.
The First district had its meeting
at Rochester on November 18th. The
Sixth district session will be held at
st. Cloud on November 26th and the
Seventh district meeting at Willmar
ON November 9th. The Window
meeting will be one of the largest
held, as the Second district was never
known to be IN the rear when II comes
to progress.

GOLDEN RULE TO BE
OBSERVED DEC. End
Redwood Falls Will Observe
Golden Rule Sunday as Near
East Relief Benefit

As a part of the last campaign for
funds which the Near East Relief
will sponsor, Golden Rule Sunday will
be observed this year on December 2.
Plans for its observance and for 9TH
er features of the campaign by
which Redwood Falls will endeavor to
raise its share of the $6,00O,O0O quo
ia are in charge of local churches.
This quota, when raised, will con-
tinue the care of the 32,121 Armen-
ian children still under the protection
of the Near East organization in the
orphanages which it supports. The
money, spread over a period of five
years, will provide for these orphans
until they are of an age to support
themselves. The campaign closes
twelve years of work by the Near
East Relief, the only foreign philan-
thropic organization authorized by
Congress.
With funds supplied for the next
five years, officers of the organiza-
tion say they can continue the train
ing of these children until they be-

turists and tradesmen. Some OF
them will be sufficiently trained to
work as teachers or nurses. Each OF
them will have been taught some
trade in order that he or she may be
independent of further support upon
leaving the orphanage.
Gradually the work of the Near
East Relief has been accomplished
until now the workers can see, five
years away, point at which it may
be stopped. During the years Of its
activities the organization has not
only cared for orphaned children but
has established As hospitals which
have been a great factor in checking
malaria, tuberculosis and trachoma.
Minnesota committees of Neal
East workers are headed by Theodore
Christianson, governor Of the state
who is general chairman and sponsors
Golden Rule Sunday and the other ac-
tivities by which Redwood Falls viii

DON'T BE MISLEAD

On page two of this issue of the
Carbon County News is found a paid
advertisement, titled: There's a Joker
in Initiative No. 80" We wish our
readers to know this is not sponsored
by US in any way, and is merely a
paid advertisement, issued at the last
moment in order to mislead the peo-
pie
1t is an evasion of the truth and is
vicious in the extreme. There is no
such a law spoken of being represent
ed to congress and if such a law were
passed it would be unconstitutional
and the United States supreme court
would undoubtedly so declare it.
Montana has no law as stated in the
advertisement causing the incarcera-
ton of people in the penitentiary for
life for liquor law attractions, and
the initiative measure No. 80, if
passed would merely mean that pro-
seeutions of the violators would be
tried in the state courts instead of
federal courts. This would give re-
venue to the state instead of being an
expense to the taxpayers.
Don't be mislead.

of Montana for Hoover and Curtis are

Thousands of voters go to the polls
each year and mark their ballots in
correctly, with the result that the cleo
ton judges do not count them.
On the ballot with the names of the
candidates will be found initiative
measure No. 80. which provides for a
new state prohibition law. This is on
the large sheet because of measure
passed at the last Legislature. Voters
should not be confused when they are
also handed a small constitutional
ballot. Two measures are
to be voted on, one on the large bal
lot, the prohibition law, initiative No.
81, and one on the small ballot, pro-
viding for districting of counties for
election of county commissioners.

APOLOGIES MADE

The Helena Independent, which is
vigorously, if not viciously, in opposi-
ton to the candidacy of w. D. Rankin
for governor, in sense of justice, de-
tends his personal character against
the ill-founded and malicious attacks
made upon him by INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons in this campaign. In its issue
of Oct. q the Independent says editor
tally:
Mr.. Rankin's personal character
has never been asasiled in any way
by the Independent. On the other
hand this newspaper has testified a
number of times that as a result of
long personal acquaintance with Mr..
Rankin, his personal character is
above reproach. He does not drink
liquor; he does not gamble; his asso-
Citations with men and women are the
very best and his relations with them
above question-his friendship for
Frank Edwards excepted"

EXOTIC GRETA
GARBO STARRED IN
MYSTERIOUS LADY

To make woman look more vivid,
dress her in vivid clothes
So believes Greta Carlo, who COM
pletely changed her wardrobe for her
exotic starring role in THE Mysteri-
GUS Lady" which comes Sunday and
Monday to the Iris theater, as Met
ro-Goldwyn- Mayer feature production.
In the filmization of this European
military drama of intrigue from the
pen of Ludwig Wolff, Miss Carlo is
seen as a Russian spy. Instead of the
pearl-gray, form-fitting costumes she
usually wears and which have iden-
titled her personality to American
audiences in the past, the Swedish star
is gowned in green and black shim-
mering evening dresses of Grapes and
panels. Her new wardrobe is COM
plete departure from her old ones and
will afford a vivid and colorful treat
to both her male and feminine adj
mirers.
The story deals with the power of
beautiful woman over mere man.
She uses her wiles to gain secret in
formation of high import to two great
world powers, never counting. on the
possibility that she might lose her own
heart. Tragedies and adventures
follow in the wake of that unexpected
occurrence. They lead through heart
break, disgrace, death and eventual
to understanding and hap
piness.
Conrad Nagel plays the leading
male role, the Austrian officer who
falls in love with the enemy charmer.
Fred Niblo directed from Bess
Meredyth's adaptation of the original
German novel.
