their parrels ready for mail Ins when

“Another feature of title neb mall-
h| which we would Uhe to call at
to aod that Is the rate of
upon Christ as* greeting
“The rate Is—local dellrery. That
Is to person* receiving their mall in
thin post office, oue cent In sealed
envelopes. On the routes, two cents
In sealed envelopes and anywhere in
the United States throe cents seal-
ed envelopes
rrrhose Who wish to send their
greetings by third class mail may
do so at one and one-half cents In
annealed envelopes, which must not
contain any writing, such mall goes
to any address In the United States,
but strictly as third class.
“During the past few days we have
been ashed many times just what the
difference la In the one and a half
cent* message and a three cent mes-
sage. and here are a few outstanding
facts. The three cent letter msy he
aealed, it msy contain writing. It will
b forwarded. It will he returned. It
la given piefereuee In d« livery. The
oue and a half rent letter cannot be
aealed. It cannot contain writing, can-
not be forwarded, cannot be return-
ed and la handled as circular mull,
which means much In the treatment
of Chrlaimus messages during this
rush season.
“Instructions have already been
sent out from the Department In
Washington to postal clerks telling
them not to tie out one and a half
cent messages with the first class
mail, but to treat them strictly as
rlrrular mail and tie Itp-m out sepa-
rately. This means that the railway
mail clerks and other postal ern
ploy* «-s will handle the first class
mall first, and then when they can
find the time, will give their alien
lion to the cent and a half letters
“May w. Illustrate this fact in this
manner Two letters ate Urop|e-d In
the local office at night. One with a
three cent stamp, the other wilh a
cent and a half stamp. The three
real letter leaves Llano th* following
morning and Is In Austin for dispatch
to Its destination by II o'clock. The
uatU ftnack moil
after noun. It la rnrrtad by
track to Barnet, and there leaded on
the train with the parcel poet and
regular circular mail. When It reaches
Austin, it may be dispatched on the
•rat train out or It may be held ap
until postal clerks can find time to
handle It.
“I am free to confess that parties
who mall many greeting cards can
save quite a bit through the cheaper
rate, but the attention of the public
Is called to the distinctive difference
between the service of the two class-
es of mail, which means so much dur-
ing the ro*h season.
But shove all. please remember
lhe rate of postage. Last Christmas
there were hundreds of messages in
the local office which could not be
dispatched on account of short paid
postage. The addresses were notified
of the mail held for them and the
amount of postage due. Some sent
the required amount and received
their Christmas cards after the first
of the year. Others failed to send
postage and. of coursd. never receiv-
ed anything."
The local force feels sure this Is
going to he a big holiday season, and
that the public will cooperate In every
manner posible to help out in the
matter of mailing packages and greet-
ing cards at the time when the De-
partment estimates a *;«m per cent In-
crease In the work thrown upon all
who are connected with the service.
