One Man Who Has No
Feeling for Fellow
Men at Christmas
"There are some things," say Pat Me
Govern, the parcel post manipulator of
the local office, "that no real gentleman
will do. One of these things is to send
a skunk's skin through the mails."
The pacel post people appreciate that
the colors of a skunk skin may be very
, beautiful. They also appreciate that the
odors of a skunk akin are not very beauti
ful. No, no, not very beautiful.
The skin In question came in from a
point out in the stats. It was stated that
. the mall oar crew tied it outside tho
door of the flying- mall train. The clerk
on the car that brought it from the
" station to the postofflce was In an ex
hausted condition and almost in need
of a pulmotor.
But it was finally delivered to the ad
dressee. It's bard to "phase" these mall
handlers. .... i

M'DONALO IS FINALLY
CONFIRMED BY COUNCIL
After several months of suspense J. W.
McDonald has been confirmed by the city
council as office engineer In the public
improvements department at a salary of
$125 per month.
Mayor Dahlman and Commissioners
Hummel and Butler voted against the ap

signed from the park department to file
as a primary candidate for city commis
sioner. Losing at the primary he aligned
himself with the "big six" and worked
against "the square seven."
