Are Anticipating Their Usual Rush at Postoffice.

About this time of year the clerks at the postoffice begin to have visions of tons of Christmas mail that passes Th and out of the officer and it is also customary about this time for local papers to speak a word in behalf of the clerks and urge that people send their packages that go by mpil as early a? possible. Last year the patrons of the local office did very well in this respect and there was not the usual congested condition, but there is still some room for improvement in this line. Co-operation by the public will aid greatly in helping the clerks to keep up in ther work and al£o help themselves in. getting prompt service. Estimates over the country are that there will be an increase of at .least 25 per cent in the parcels post ChristmasbusinessThis year,' and so' there is all the more reason for doing your Christmas shopping early.-
