CARRIERS DELIVER

, LAST OF PACKAGES MAILED FOR XMAS

"Traces of the Christmas rush are fast disappearing-," said Frank Wilson, superintendent of malls at the post office, "We are now even up to date With deliveries and safe for another year, Today was really the first breathing spell the post office clerks have had. Many hoM over packages were delivered yesterday and even to

day, a number of packages which had been delayed In mailing or in transit, were delivered. "It was through the co-operation given by people in mailing early as had been advised for many years, that we were able to handle the Christmas business this year," said Mr. Wilson. "All records were broken for the Christmas week and had the business piled up on the last day as it did In tome previous years, we could hardly have handled it last Friday and Saturday." Very little trouble was experienced by the clerks this year in straightening misdirected parcels. The campaign of education waged by the postoffice department throughout the country and the fact that people are becoming accustomed to the rules and regulations of the parcel poBt, assisted materially in preventing trouble. Several queerly addressed packages were received but a very few per cent of them will be sent to the dead letter office through the fact that the right address could not be found. New Years cards are filling the mail now. Although the sending of New Years cards is not as popular as Christmas cards, thousands of greetings will be transferred this week. The European war has influenced the designs of many of the cards..

MAY BOOK STIGALL WITH TOM DILLON

Billy Benson is trying to arrange a match between "Lil" Arthur Stigall of Altoona, Pa., who Is in town visiting friends, and Terry Nelson of Philadelphia, to be held at Eagles' hall on January 10. There is little doubt but that these boys will be brought together, for another club, composed of three prominent business men, is being formed for the purpose of arranging a match r-'d if Benson cannot make the match the new promoters may succeed in doing so. The new organisation is quietly arrenging a card but is somewhat reticent about the plans. One of the promoters, who requested that his name be withheld, said that if they could get Tommy Dillon here they would put him up against Stigall. Benson resents the advent of anothpr boxing club in the field and says that since he started the game and put it. where it is a paying proposition he Khould be loft alone to reap the harvest.

JONES TO STOP HEAVY HAULING ON ROADS DURING THAW WEATHER

County Road Superintendent Jones announced today that he will enforce the state law regarding heavy hauling on the roads of the county when they are in a soft condition. Mr. Jones had delayed making the announcement because the roads so far this winter have not been damaged by wet weather and he believed it might be possible to go through the winter without issuing an order to this effect.

During the past few days, Mr. Jones has been busy answering inquiries from township trustees and township road superintendents desirous of knowing whether or not legal action will be brought against owners of vehicles who persist in using the roads when they are soft. The state law is plain on the subject, Mr. Jones says and it makes it unlawful for any vehicle weighing 3,800 pounds to traverse

either macadam or gravel roads when the ground Is thawing or Is soft on account of wet weather. While the snow Is on the ground, the vehicles will do no damage, said Mr. Jones. As soon as it begins to thaw, however, every vehicle heavier than the weight stipulated in the law, will have to stay off the roads. A fine of from $5 to $500 can be assessed for every conviction. County Attorney Hoelscher, who was consulted today by the road superintendent, regarding the legal phase of the question, says that the law is exceptionally plain on the subject and includes all kinds of vehicles. Any of the road superintendents or. their assistant, the road supervisor, the township trustee or any of the county officials can make an arrest for violation of this law.

SICK BENEFIT FUND PROPOSED IN CHURCH

Recommendation that the congregation of St. Paul's Lutheran church at its meeting next Monday night adopt the sick benefit fund was made at the regular session of the brotherhood of that church last night. Inclement weather prevented the attendance of more than twelve members. The adoption of this arrangement involves the formation of an organization of persons who paying a stipulated amount of money monthly into a fund will receive in return in case of sickness a specified sum. An organization which receives death benefits has already been formed. The only other important matter which came before the meeting last night was the reading of a paper entitled, "Luther's Ninety-five Theses," by Henry Thorman. Will Meerhoff, president of the brotherhood, presided.

And its cost is trifling. A 25c package of "20 Mule Team Eorax Soap Chips" will do more cleaning than 50c worth of bar soap or washing powders. Adv.
