Shows Decided Change of Sen
timent, Politically
Among those who love to ‘
study political trends in the
“off” years, there is one fact '
in the news that must prove!
of unusual interest.
That is that Marion, Ohio,
twhich last year sent its leading
I editor to the White House,
with a pleasing local Repub
lican majority of 3,000 this
Wear has gone Democratic !>v
1,000 votes.
It has only been a year since
the presidential election, and
'.he Republican party has been
in power only a little over
eight months, but 1,000 voters
in Marion have changed their
minds and are “thinking Dem
ocratic.’’ And Marion is a
smaller cit\ than Little Rock.

4 Christmas Message
From Our Post Office
Christmas is almost here.
Your great Postoffice De
>artment has a big job ahead
tnd needs your help.
'1 hink what it means to be
'iinta Claus to our 100,000.000
Hmple and to deliver Christ
nas parcels to every I’amliy in
his great country within the
hort space of a few days and
vithold disappointment.
It can be done, and we’re
foing to do it if we may have
■our help. We want to en
ist the active assistance of
'very boy and girl in the
schools of our country in get
ing parcels mailed THIS
.VEER to relieve the rush that
omes directly before Christ
nas. Will you go home today
md take this message to your
>arents and friends:
“Our postmaster has asked
is to mail our Christmas par
■els this week, for unless we
lo. Uncle Sam’s load may be
o heavy the last few days be
ore Christmas that he won’t
>e able to deliver all the pres
mts by Christmas eve.”
The parcels must be well
vrappc d and tied and address
'd plainly in order that they
nay arrive in good condition
vith their Christmasy appear
mce unspoiled. You can put
>n your packages, “Do not
ipen until Christmas.”
There are some ohter things,
oo, in which you can all assist
n improving the mail service
.nd in saving our great gov-j
rnnient millions of dollars a
ear that is now wasted be
aus.- of our earlessness—
ours and mine.
Every day that you drop a
etter in the mail box 10.000,
>00 other letters are already
)iishing and jamming through
he postal machinery. One
etter a day for each family of
ive persons in the United
hates is given to Uncle Sam
o deliver.
When you send a parcel to
he posted ice for mailing any
lay there are about 8,000 oth
r parcels ahead of yours pass
tig through the postal hopper,
’his is in oi dinary days; at
’hristmas time it is multiplied
tany times.
une iamny in aooui every
t'n puts a badly addressed
s'tter in the mail every day.
'his mixes up over 2,000,000,
00 half addressed letters with
lie 20,000,000 fully address
d letters. That means that
he fully addressed letters
Hist wait on the slow-moving
oorly addressed letters.
You boys and girls can help
be Postal Service and save
our father some money, be
ause he has to help pay the
ost ot searching addresses on
>tters and parcels sent out by
bis careless and thoughtless
arnily in every ten.
First, find out if your fam
iy is th<* careless, one,- then
ear in mind that your letters
oust be handled by skilled
istributors standing in post
ft'ices and on swaying postal
ars of a mile-; minute mail
rains, often under poor light.
The address n every letter,
ard, or package must be cor
ed, complete and legible, in
luiiinj the house number and
lame of street and the “From”
uldress should be in the up
>er left-hand comer so that the
nail will be returned to you
n case it not delivered. Do
lot abbreviati names of States
jeeau.se so many look alike
vhen abbreviated.
Put the proper amount of
mstage on your letters and
crap the parcels carefully.
Lvoid fancy writing, which
auses post-office clerks and
dter carriers to stop and study .
and thus lose time. Make the
address plain and easily read,
and always use pen and ink ov
typewriter and light-colored
envelopes, so as to save the
eyes of the post office clerks.
Do not use envelopes of unus
ual size. The little ones that
are so frequently used for
cards and notes at Christmas
and other holiday times cause
an untold amount of trouble
and labor. Because of their
-ize and tendency to slip out
of a package, these small en
velopes are more likely to be
overlooked or lost.
Mail your letters and pack
ages early in the day, because
this avoids overloading and
delaying mail at the end of the
day.

lour local postmaster win
tell you more about the Postal
Service. Do these things, and
you will win the grateful ap
preciation of the people in
your home post office anil es
pecially of your postmaster

ARKANSAS IS COMING
With its oil and gas fields
just coming in, and its water
power being harnessed for
electricity, Arkansas has just
begun to shed its baby clothes
of industrial activity. The
next ten years will tell a wond
erful story of Arkansas’ rapid
progress and its transforma
tion into a great manufactur
ing state. Opportunities in
Arkansas have just begun to
bud, and our young men have
a great future before them.
