PREPAREDNESS FOR THE CHRISTMAS RCSII. Postmaster Hunter has enlisted our interest in the matter and we are herewith trying to help him gain the co-operation of the public in the handling of Christmas mall. The volume of mail passing through the local office before and during the Christmas season, is enormous, and it is therefore a great help to the postmnster and all employed in the office for the people generally to keep in mind the following suggestions from the postofflce department, viz.: Prepay postage fully on all articles. Address parcels fully and plainly. Place name and address of sendei on all matter. Pack articles carefully and wrap them soeurely, but do not seal them, as sealed parcels are subject to postage at the letter rate. Mail parcels early, they may be marked, "Do not open until Christ' mas." 1 Insure valuable parcels.
