Earlier, Than Ever

Christmas packages should be
mailed at least two days earlier
than usual this year, R. H. Station,
Hendersonville postmaster, said

parent hardness of patrons in get
ting their holiday gifts on the way

pointed out. is that this and all
other post offices will be closed
from noon on Saturday of next
week until Tuesday morning Of
the following week. While the Of
fees are closed. thus preventing
patrons from mailing parcel post
packages, no mail except that
bearing special delivery postage
will be delivered.
1t is almost too late now to
mail packages to the Pacific coast
with assurance that they will be
delivered before Christmas day,
Mr.. Station said. He added that

third zone 600 miles, should be
on its way not later than Thurs
day of next week and that fourth
zone mail (400 miles, should be

u. S. PASSES WITH BUT SMALL
PORTIONS BEING PAID NATION
Only Finland Continues to
Pay Its Increment
in Full

WASHINGTON. Dec. Is. (UP)
To-day was payday for United
States war debtors. but payments
were light. Out Of a grand total
Of S310,676,270.2O due in install
ments. only S8,898, 1913 had been
paid. The arrearage is scheduled
to remain above the 100000, 900
mark after receipt Of token pay
ments during the day.
The discrepancy between these
figures became even more signifi-
cant when the total of the install
ments due today is added to the
total amounts which the various
debtors failed to pay on the last
December 18th and June 18th in
stallments.
A total of $25,256,511.85 re-
mains unpaid from last Dec. Is
and S132,258,124.35 from June
Is. bringing the total of arrears
to S157,514,636.10. This amount,
added to the installment due to-
dav brought the grand total due
on debts to S310,676,270.2O. AZ
ter the token payments toward
today's installments are deducted
the European debtors still owe the
United States over $300,000,000,
all of which becomes past due at
the close of business on Dec. Is.
Among the debtor nations, little
Finland stands out as the only one
which has kept its debt record
spotless. The Finnish government
informed the state department it
was paying the full amount Of
Finland's installment, S229,623
into the Federal Reserve bank in
New York.
Payments received on account
of the December Is installment
were as follows:
Finland $229,623-paid in full.

To Give Pageant
Sunday Evening

Sunday evening, Dec. II, at
1880 o'clock the girls of Fassi-
fern school will present a pag-
cant Of the Christmas story en-
titled, "No Room in the Inn," at
the Presbyterian church.
More than so girls in varied
and attractive costumes will par
ticipate in the portrayal of the
story of the first Christmas.
Music by choir of girls voices
will accompany the entire pag-
cant. Special lighting effects for
tableaus and pageantry will be
used.
The story of the pageant is
that of the coming Of Hebrew
families to the Inn in Bethlehem
and finally of the coming of
Mary and Joseph to the inn only
to find that there is no room left
for them except in the lowly
stable. To the manger in this
lowly stable come wise men, shep-
herds, men, women and children
of Bethlehem, and men, women
and children of all the world and
ages-all coming to worship the
Christ-child born in Bethlehem of
Judea in fulfillment of all proph-
Ccies and as Savior Of the world.
A truly beautiful protrayal of
the coming of the Christ-child in
to many hearts and one which
makes us all ask ourselves if
there is room in our hearts for
him!
The pageant is being directed
by Miss Douschka Sweets, in
structor of Bible and Art at Fas-
sifern. She is a daughter of DR..
Henry H. Sweets, executive sec
rotary of Christian Education and
relief of the Southern
Presbyterian church. fa..i

incomes than on income from in
vestments was recommended by

fore the house ways and means

subcommittee designed to plug
loopholes in the present tax laws,
