short space of a few days and
without disappointment.
It can be done, and we’re
going to do it if we may have
your help. We want to en
list the active assistance of
every boy and girl in the
schools of our country in get
ting parcels mailed THIS
WEEK to relieve the rush that
comes directly before Christ
mas. Will you go home today
and take this message to your
parents and friends:
“Our postmaster has asked
us to mail our Christmas par
cels this week, for unless we
do, Uncle Sam’s load may be
so heavy the last few days be
fore Christmas that he won’t
be able to deliver all the pres
ents by Christmas eve.”
The parcels must be well
wrapped and tied and address
ed plainly in order that they
may arrive in good condition

ance unspoiled. You can put
on your packages, “Do not
open until Christmas.”
There are some ohter things,
too, in which you can all assist

ernment millions of dollars a
year that is now wasted be
cause of our carlessness—

CASTORIA
For Infants and Children.
Mothers Know Thai
Genuine Castoria
S t t
letter in the mail box 40.000,
000 other letters are already
pushing and jamming through
the postal machinery. One
letter a day for each family of
five persons in the United
States is given to Uncle Sam
to deliver.
When you send a parcel to
the postoffice for mailing any
day there are about 8,000 oth
er parcels ahead of yours pass
ing through the postal hopper.
This is in ordinary days; at
Christmas time it is multiplied
many times.
One family in about every
ten puts a badly addressed
letter in the 'mail every day.
This mixes up over 2,000,000.
000 half addressed letters with
the 20,000,000 fully address
ed letters. That means that
the fully addressed letters
must wait on the slow-moving
poorly addressed letters.
You boys and girls can help
the Postal Service and save
your father some money, be
cause he has to help payuthe
cost of searching addresses on
letters and parcels sent out by
this careless and thoughtless
lamny in every ten.
First, find out if your fam
ily is the careless one, then
bear in mind that your letters
must be handled by skilled
distributors standing in post
offices and on swaying postal
cars of a mile-a-minute mail
trains, often under poor light.
The address on every letter,
card, or package must be cor
rect, complete and legible, in
cluding the house number and
name of street and the “From”
address should be in the up
per left-hand corner so that the
mail will be returned to you
in case it is not delivered. Do
not abbreviate names of States
because so many look alike
when abbreviated.
Put the proper amount of
postage on your letters and
wrap the parcels carefully.
Avoid fancy writing, which
causes post-office clerks and
letter carriers to stop and study
and thus lose time. Make the
address plain and easily read,
and always use pen and ink or
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
size 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.
Your local postmaster will
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 and es
pecially of your postmaster
general,
WILL II. HAYS.
THE GOSPEL OF WORK
Labor is life. It is all thou
hast to comfort eternity with.
Work then like a tar, unhast
ing, yet unresting.—Carlyle.
We are not sent into this
world to do anything into which
we cannot put our hearts. We
have certain work to do for
our bread and that is to be
done strenuously; other work
to do for our delight, and that
is to be done heartily; neither
is to be done by halves or shifts
but with a will; and what is
not worth this effort is not to
be done at all.—Ruskin.

SHOULD BEGIN NOW \
TO GROW MORE HOGS
Cheap Feed Makes Present An
Opportune Time to Start
Good Swine Herd <
Prices for hogs are not
what they were and may not 1
have reached the bottom, but
with the mountains of cheap
i 1
corn available hogs should and
probably will continue to be
marketed at a profit.
Last year prices of corn
dropped so suddenly that much
of the crop was cribbed on
the farms and has not been
sold. With this year’s large!
crop farmers have an over
| supply. It has never been
considered good business to i
sell corn off the farm, and;
with the present low price it
certainly is not wise to sell it I*
| now. Corn is the principal
I grain for hogs and should be ,
| marketed in the form of pork.
More hogs should be raised
| on many farms. They fit into 1
j about all systems of farming.
It is an easy matter to get!
started in the hog business.
The capital required is com
paratively small and returns
come in within a few months.!
Money is turned rapidly. If
proper judgment is exercised
in securing good foundation
[stock a strong herd can be
bred up in a short time.
Hogs have paid off many 1
farm mortgages and will con
tinue to do so. This is an op
portune time to buy good foun
dation stock for a swineherd, j

“JUBHO"
It’s funny what strange things a man will
sometimes do under the spell of a pair of be
witching feminine eyes.
Will Rogers, as the bashful country
youth, will put a real smile on your face in a
picture of life on the farm among real folks.
He is not only the most bashful man on ihe
farm but when the time comes he’s the fight
enest guy that ever wore brogans.
