Pre-Holiday Rush Finds Employes
; Facing Big VTask; Rules for
Lightening Trials
. In the ore-holiday rush, when thn
glege". of ' the Christmas shopper
hold ; away, perhaps the ; severest
task fails' en the overtaxed postal
mall clsrk, V whose burden conld
easily be lightened by Just a .little
cooperation and consideration from
each Individual dispatching Christ
tnas paroels and letters through, the
mail. . ;. ;.' .,. -'-'HV-';
Remindful of this comes a pita,
from the postofflce department ac
companied with a few simple direc
tions as follows, In' part:-. ,
Plrst, in the case of .letters. These
tnuit all be put through what la known
as a cancelling machine. - letters oon
, talnlng hard objects, such as coins, but
tons, etc cannot be ran through the ma
chine without damage, thus it Is neces
sary to label such: "Caret Not for Can
celling Machine."
BTAXT YIAtCU IICCIXDED . '
' Ton are also asked not to plaster one
cent stamps across the top of a letter,
which interferes with the dating, but se
cure two cent stamps and confine them
to the upper right hand corner of the en
velope. la addressing your letter, separate the
name of the city and state from the rest
of the address, which aids materially In
1 sorting. : is v' n x-r;--
- Business concerns are asked to not
send out letters that are stuck together,
as eometlmeo occurs when large num
bers are being sealed and mailed. Also,
this type of malt should be divided Into
two groups, "otty and "out of town,"
and made up In two neat packages.
, . in the case of packages, there Is one
rule of paramount importance that is
to make a strong package. Do not trust
- to the pasteboard box, but wrap - It
- carefully In heavy paper and bind se
curely with cord. Each parcel must bs
classed according to Its contents, stamped
and packed as follows:
PACKAGIS AEE CLASSIFIED f
"Fragile," If likely to break ; perish
able,'' If likely to spoil ; "Harmful If
likely to damage other mall or do Injury
te employee handling It. It Is the duty
of a parcel post clerk to ascertain to
which class a parcel belongs and to as-
sure himself that It Is accordingly packed
correctly. Fragile articles should be
packed In tissue paper, excelsior, cot
ton or other soft material, and must be
.enclosed-In heavy corrugated board or a
wooden box, securely tied. Parcels such
as umbrellas, golf sticks, etc must be
reinforced by strips of wood bound to
. them. Perishable article fu e., fruits,
meats, foods) should be. packed In strong
wood or corrugated Containers, and spe-
, clal delivery stampa may well be need
to hasten such shipments to their deetl
nation. s i,--:- i
Liquids must be In water-tight con-
. talners, surrounded bj absorbent mate
rial and packed In strong boxes. Harm-
im articles, aucn as sharp-edged tools,
must . have their points or edges pro
tected by heavy paper or board.,

All the beauties of a summer time
wonderland are enhanced along the' Co
lumbia river , highway by tho mantle
of snow and , Ice that enshroud the
sometimes dashing falls and lulls their
musto In an Icy grasp. Tet to vision
these rare sights is a nazaraous ana
an uncompromising tasx, according io
the sUtemenU of w. e. E&iougn ana
Clyde Cushman, 125- Sixth street, who
mads the trip to the second falls on
Multnomah creek last Sunday.
Balousrh and Cushman rode to Mult
nomah falls, where they attached their
snowshoes and started on the up graae,
which, they say. was one of the most
novel of their many trips as members
of the Maxamas. In fact .the boys were
out as Maxamas to determine the pos
sibility of breaking through the enow
drifts to the summit of Larch moun
tain, v Inasmuch as they did not make
the ascent they may vf again. A
1 Disappointed, at the sight at the
lower falls the- boys, bravely mushed
on. up the trail about two miles to the
second falls, where they got the : re
ward in beauty that they sought. The
trail throughout was Dacked with deep
enow, they say, knd even with snow
shoes the going was difficult. The two
mile trip required almost an hour and
a half of strenuous climbing, with their
snowshoes sinking In six inches at every
step.-- '''-"'J ' f v;-' ' 't''-'r,
At the first falls the wind had swept
the trees and shrubs clean of snow,, but
at the upper falls the same was not
true. They found snow and Ice every
where and . on everything. The; sight
was one of rare beauty, they-say
-Cumbersome snowshoes helped put a
thrill into the climb for the young men.
Several times they - enjoyed unexpected
tumbles into tho deep enow and missed
drenching- themselves in the icy waters
of the creek by narrow margins.

of . meetings and sessions In which

an inspiring address on "Getting Dairy

Mickle advocated the repeat of the Im
ported meat and egg law.?; He suggested
that the law on foodstuff s bs amended
and that section f l, relating to butter
labels and stencils, be repealed. Both
Mickle and Hawley said- they , thought
the butter and cheeeemakers" licenses
Should be made permanent. A. legis

TESTS ABB ESSE3TIAI.
Butterfat and moisture standards, ac
cording to the federal and state law re
quirements, were discussed in a paper
read by J. A. Jenaon. He said that the
federal gorerriment required not less
than 92V4 per cent standard, but did
not enforce - it, and that many states
are working under an 80 per cent stand
ard, which he advocated. S. O. Rice of
Mount Angel; said that all pracantions
were taken to' keepdown moisture con
tent In butter, but once iayav whue
something might; happen.; Oregon put
