Will Have a Carnival
The Junior class have perfected ar
rangements for the giving of a play
let and carnival at the auditorium
on Wednesday of this week and will
surely interest every one who can at
tend. See the announcements of the
same in another column.
Had an Excellent Time
The American Legion gave a dance
at the auditorium last Friday eve
ning which was well attended and
at which all had a most -enjoyable
time. The Legion boys know well
how to entertain and in the event of
last Friday they did not fail to come
up to their record. Besides the dance
there was refreshments and no one
was there who did not fully enjoy
the occasion.
-Looking over the Field
John Worrell of Nebraska City
was a visitor in Nehawka a few days
since and looked over the city with
a view of location here and engag
ing in the newspaper business. We
were not able to -learn Whether he
had in mind a daily or a weekly or
contemplating a magazine. One thing
is , certain that Nehawka is in need
of a newspaper of her own.
Did a Good Work
The ladies of the United Brethren
church not as the organization of
the ladies aid but just ladies who
were interested in the better condi
tions of the church edifice, gathered
together last week and beautified
the interior of the structure and
chased the dirst from the premises.
The place looks as neat as a pin now
and every effort will be made to main
tain it thus.
Will Save You Money
Glance -at the advertisment of the
F. P. Sheldon department store and
see the bargains which they are of
fering. They have refrained from
making extensive purchases until
the decline cf goods justified their
doing so and are now in the market
with a large assortment of goods
which is needed in the family at
prices which are in many instances
?s much as fifty per cent below the
figure at which the same goods sold
at only a short time since. The store
is replete with goods and such that
are needed in ever yhome at prices
which will save the purchasers mon
ey besides furnishing the best goods
that can be bought. Their Christ
mas stock is filled with the best pres
ents and gifts and at prices which
all can afford to purchase and Xmas
is only a few weeks away. Better
be in a hurry -about buying.
Will Give Excellent Show
Th rough R. C. Pollard the Masons
have arranged to have some very
fine pictures for their show on Dec.
21 which will be free to all who at
tend. There while they are entertain
ing In character are also very In
structive as the films will represent
a trip throusrh the Panama Canal,
and vill be of Intense interest, the
raising of cattle in the north and one
of the most interesting and close to
home will be the growing of apples
at Nehawka and while here the best
methods are used of anywhere in the
country. The school wiil take up the
udy of these subjects prior to the
siow and will be prepared to get the
greatest good out of the venture. The
Masons will also put the same show
on at Union the following day.

Postmaster General Will H. Hayes
Urges Boys and Girls to Assist
in Expediting Mails.
The following communication from
the office of the Postmaster General
is addressed to the boys and girls of
the United States: i
Washington, Nov. 22
To the Boys and Girls:
Christmas is almost here.
Your great Post Office department
has a big job ahead and needs your
help.
Think what it means to be Santa
Claus to our 100, 000, COO people and
to deliver Christmas parcels to every
family in this great country within
the short space of a few days and
without disappointment. i
It can be done and we're going to
do it If we may have your help. I
want to enlist the entire assistance of
every boy and girl in the schools of
our country in getting parcels mail
ed this week to relieve the ru3h that
comes directly before Christmas.
Will 50U go home and take this
message to your parents and friends:
"Our postmaster hss asked us to
mail our Christmas parcels this week
for, unless we do. Uncle Sam's load
may be so heavy the last few days
before Christmas that he won't be ,
abie to deliver all the presents L'j
Christmas eve."
The parcels must be well wrapped
and tied and addressed plainly in
order that they may arrive in good
condition with the Christmasy ap
pearance unspoiled. You can put on
your packages, "P!eae do not open .
until Christmas."
And there must be a number on t
your hou?e and a receptacle, too, if .
you live in tovns with city delivery,
for, if there isn't. Santa Clans' raes- ,
senger, your letter carrier, may not
be able to find the house where the
present belongs.
There are some other things, too.
in which you can all aspist in improv
ing the mail service and in saving
our great Government, millions o
dollars a year that is now wasted
because of our carelessness yours
and mine. - ;
Every day that you drop a letter'
in the mail box 40,000,000 other let
ters are already pushing and Jam-j
'ning thru the postal machinery. One
letter a day for each family cf five
Persons in the United States is given
to Uncle Som to deliver.
When you send a parcel to the
post office for mailing any day, there
are about 8.000,000 other parcel
ahead of yours. passing through
the postal hopper. This is in ordi
nary days; at Christmas time it is
multiplied many times.
One family in about every ten
puts a badly addressed letter into
the mail every day. This mixes up
over 2,000,000 half addressed letters
with 20.000,000 fully addressed let-!
ters. That means that tho fully ad
dressed letters must wait on the slow
moving poorly addressed letters juf;t
like the larger boys and girls are de
layed by a bunch of "bad kids" tag
ging along.
You boys and girls can help the
postal service and save your father
some money, because be has to help '.
pay the cost of searching addresses
on letters and parcels sent out by
this one careless family in every ten.
First find out if your family is the
careless one, then bear in mind that
your letters must be handled by skill
ful mail distributors standing in post
offices and on swaying postal cars of
a mile-a-minute trains, often under
poor light.

address thould be In the upper left

returned to you in case it is not de
livered. Do not abbreviate the name3
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 postoffice clerks a!id
letter carriers to ctop 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 postoffice clerks. Do
not use envelopes of unusual size.
The little one? that are so frcn.utr.t
ly used for cards and notes at Christ
mas and other holiday times cause
an untold amount of trouble and
labor, as they will not fit our cancel
ling machines and must be cancelled
by hand. Because of their size and
tendency to slip out cf a package,
these small envelopes are more like
ly to be overlooked or lost.
Mail your letters and packages
oarly in the day, because this avoids
overloading and delaying mail at the
end of the clay.
Your local postmaster and j-our
teachers will tell you more about the
Postal service.
Do these things and you will win
the grateful appreciation of the peo
ple in your postoffice and especially
of vour Postmaster General.
