POSTMASTER SPEAKS,
Pleads for More Attention to Ad
dressing Mail Through Office.
Postmaster J. J. Cooke spoke at
the assembly of high school pupils on
Tuesday morning and also at the Live
Wire meeting Tuesday noon, asking
the aid of all who mail letters or
packages in relieving the work of the
clerks in -the postoffice. Mr. Cooke
pointed out that business men and
others who post letters are increas
ingly careless in the manner in which
they address mail matter, oftentimes
leaving off the most important parts
of the direction. This entails no end
of work behind the bars of the office,
he said, because of the' fact that the
clerk' must exert himself to deter
mine just what the sender's intention
may have been. . t '
Mr. Cooke especially finds fault
with mail going to rural routes in
Oregon City and elsewhere. The ad
dress on such matter frequently does
not include the route number and the
clerks must search their lists for the
names. Such an address as "John
Smith, Oregon City," is very insuf
ficient, Mr. Cooke said, and prevents,
many times, the proper and prompt
delivery of mail. The postmaster
will also address the pupils in the
high grades of the two city schools on
this subject.-
JOHNSON WINS BOUT.
Heavyweight Title Claimed by Man
Who Throws Oregon City Grappler.
The heavyweight wrestling cham
pionship of the . Pacific coast Is
claimed by I. J. Johnson, holder of the
middle west title, as a result of his
defeat of Ben Mordsen at a local the
ater Monday night Johnson, whose
home is in St. Paul, Minn., won the
first fall in five minutes, using the
Kbmmerlock grip, and the second fall
in about four minutes. Bordsen won
the 'heavyweight title about a year
ago, when he defeated Daviscourt,
and he believes that he can throw
Johnson if they meet again and the
hammerlock grip is barred.
Wood Cutting Stopped.
A temporary restraining order was
issued Monday in the case of John
Walcyak against E. Martin, L. Don
nelly, James Anderson and C. P.
Coop. Because these men have cut
wood on Walcyak's property near
Barton, and according to his claim,
failed to pay for it, he is seeking
to have them enjoined from further
activity and for the cancellation of
the contract between them.
Accident Commission Sues.
The state industrial accident com
misson filed suit here Monday Against
C. C. Edwards, a sawmill operator, to
collect the contribution which Ed
wards agreed to give the commission.
The percentage of the Edwards pay
roll of $1967.75, for the months of
May to September, 1916, is $76.26, or
3 1-2 per cent. This amount the com
mission seeks to recover.
"A Floury Fate'
Tbe following good diversion deals
with mystery and is therefore popu
lar at Christmas It Is provocative of
great merriment and Interest, though
very simple In plan.
Flour, In which there are a ring, a
coin and a button, is pressed flrmlyluto
a mold, and then tbe form or "loaf
thus obtained Is carefully deposited
upon tbe table. Each one seeking to
know his rate or fortune takes tbe
large dinner knife provided for tbe
game and carefully cuts Into tbe mound.
If be strikes n.ie or tbe articles In tbe
flour It must be extracted and exam
ined, because, whichever It may be, It
Is significant and determines whether
be is to be a bachelor or benedict, rich
or poor. Tbe maiden In this way also
learns whether she' is to be "all for
lorn" all her life or whether she will
marry money or learn to sew ber bus
band's buttons on herself to save tai
lors' bills and keep the wolf from tbe
door. A master. , tit ceremonies can
very entertainingly, If properly select
ed, assist the finder of his rate In fulty
reading it to tbe audience. .
Sometimes Imagination Is heavily
taxed to sustain a story for tbe time
set, and to a listener not understand
ing what It Is all about there might be
a suspicion that be was. in a company
of incipient lunatics.
Organ Builder
An interesting Christas game that Is
played by the little German children Is
called tbe "organ builder." One of
the number is chosen to he the organ
builder and all the others stand In a
straight row with their hands folded.
As tbe organ builder goes along ibe
row he says: "These are good pipes,"
and taps tbe hands of the players as
he passes, and each player as bis
hands are touched must give forth a
long sustained sound to represent tbe
note of an organ. After be has heard
a sound from each organ pipe tbe
builder Is blindfolded and while this Is
being done the players all change
places, and . the builder says: "Alas,
how will my organ be. now ! am blind
and cannot see?" Tbeu be taps tbe
hands of a player, wbo gives the same
sustained sound as before, and If tbe
builder demands, he must repeat three
times. The builder then guesses tbe
name of a player, If be does not guess
correctly, the players all dance around
bun and sing: .
What a builder have we here.
What a wretched, wretched ear.
Though the pipes sound out so clear.
After which they all change places and
the builder must try again. If how
ever, bin guess Is right, the players
sing:
Though the matter have no light.
He ran tell lila pipes aright,
H your organ with delight
The bandage Is then taken off, and the
playpr whose name he has guessed
must take bis place.
