porting the estimate for this year
bankers uniformly express the opin-
ion that the Christmas Club has
made an excellent showing in view
of present conditions and that it
will offer an outstanding contribu-
tion to stabiliz ing business activi-
ties in the approaching pre-holiday
season.
The survey shows, too, an in
creased use of the Christmas Club
as a convenient and easy method of
accumulating funds for many nee
essary expenditures other than nor
NAL holiday requirements, such as
taxes, insurance premiums, and
mortgage interest and bankers see
in this application a trend to a
larger Christmas Club distribution
next year.
The inception of the Christmas
Club idea, 80 years ago, anticipated
the need for providing an easy,
simple and practical method of sys-
tematically accumulating funds for
the specific purpose of Christmas

Must Have Bulk OF
Xmas Mail By Dec. l
Continued from First Page,

In 1941, about 21,95O mail cars
were required between December
12 and "a to deliver Christmas
mails-enough cars to make q
train 270 miles long. This year, the
extra cars needed to move holiday
mails are largely being used by the
armed services, and severe short
age is in prospect.
The postal service usually bor-
rows about $500 trucks from the
Army and other Government agen-
cies, and rents about 10000 from
private owners, to handle the
Christmas mails. This year, it will
be extremely difficult to obtain
enough of these vehicles to meet
even a substantial part of the need.
The Army needs its own trucks and
private owners are reluctant to let
someone else use their tires.
Railroads are cooperating by con-
verting some hundreds of steel box
cars and similar equipment for mail
transportation, and Joseph B. East
man, director of defense transpor-
tation, has ordered that unneces-
sary travel be curtailed to the linn
it during the holiday season. But
these measures cannot assure de-
liveries of gifts on time unless the
public cooperates by mailing early
and thus spreading the transpOrta-
tion load over longer period than
usual.
Mr.. Purdum called attention to
the task of the Post Office Depart
ment in moving millions of pieces
of mail every day to and from sol
diers, sailors and marines through
out the world. This extraordinary
job must be kept current, even while
the holiday rush of mailing is hand

sizes that farmers will get 81 for
every So invested if they hold their
bonds until they mature.
Lay EN- On the Fighting Line"
is Che title of the folder, which out
lines a three-fold financial plan
for farmers. 1t recommends that
farmers Produce all you can on
your farm" Get your debts in
shape" and Invest to the full limit
of your ability in War-Savings
Bonds both to help your country
and safeguard your own future"
Four reasons are given to illus
trate that it is both patriotic and
profitable for farmers to convert a
portion of their income into War
Bonds. They are: "You will be
helping to buy the fighting equip
ment needed by your sons" you
will be making the safest invest
ment in the world" You will be
getting a profitable return on your
money" and "You will be doing
your part to stave off imitation"
"After the war;" the leafiet en-
phasizes, "your savings will enable
you to buy the necessities and
luxuries you perhaps need now but
can't get until then.
"Your savings will provide you
with funds for adjustments on your
farm, education, travel, recreation
and retirement"
1t further stresses that "War
Bonds are the best form of finan-
cial reserve ever offered to United
States farmers" and urges these
producers to make Every Market
Day Bond Day."

THE BEASTLY HUN

Many nations were overrun
By the clustering, numbering Hun;
Men were shot who were not hung,
And women's hearts were torn and
stung.
The misery wrought by this human
spawn,
Whose mode of life is brawl and
Drawn,
Would never fit in our way of life,
That is one reason for this strife.
But here and there are counter
plots,
Springing up like leopard spots;
The time is near when we will hear
The Piper's legions are in the rear.
There is a place far down below
Where this Hun may have to go;
When his time has come to be laid
low,
He will not be frozen by Russia's
snow.
