FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 1922
It is none td early to begin
■electing Christmas gifts; a sub-
scription to The Times would
make a nice present—think of
being remembered tifty-two
times during the year!
One more time we desire to
warn press reporters ot the dif-
ferent local societies whosa mat
tsr appears in onr ooiumns, that
it is absolutely neoesssry that
their reports be sent to The
Timee on Monday. In the past
we have accepted these reports
on Wednesday, often taking them
over the telephone, bat this
practice with this issue will ho
discontinued. We cannn* .,u..r.*
to loaf on Monday and ual
Tuesday, and then work all oi„|.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights
to get the paper in the mails on
time. It is not fair to the pub-
lisher, the printers nor the
readers, because such matter is
of a semi-news nature, and often
crowds out news that breaks just
before press hour. Help us to
print a better paper, with less
typographical errors by handing
in your reports on Monday and
never later than 9 o’clock Tues-
day morning.
■u
The Times would like to print
all the names of that fine bunch
of new subscribers secured the
past week, but it would require
more capital letters than are now
in the type cases after the most
of the news of the week has been
set. _
Every business house in De
port was closed Thanksgiving
except The Times office, and we
were able to do so about 3 o’clock.
Extra pages in the paper last
week, and a lot of eleventh hour
news, coupled with the fact that
We mailed out 500 sample copies
of the edition, made it impossible
for us to close all day.
The Times desires to print the
children’s letters to Santa Claus
again this year. Sit down right
now and write the Merry Old
Gentleman what you want him
to bring. Write plainly, on one
side of the paper only, and do
not make it longer than neces-
sary. We cannot print letters
received later than Saturday,
Dec. 10, Send in your letters
now and after printing them in
The Times, we will maii a copy
to Santa so he will know what
you want.

The Times will revise its mail-
ing galleys again within a few
days and add a great number of
new subscribers just secured.
There are a few whose subscrip-
tions expired on November and
December 1, who have not re-
newed. If you want The Times
to continue its weekly visits
please mail us remittance or call
Friday or Saturday and renew.
The postoffice department does
not permit second class matter
to be sent thru the mails after
subscriptions have expired, and
we have no desire to get into
trouble with Uncle Sam.
Red Cross Christmas seals are
on sale in Deport. It is not nec-
essary for The limes to use its
space to tell the people about
these seals. They have saved
thousands of lives and cost no one
very much money. Only 1 cent
each—put one on every Christ
mas package, letter or greeting.
