Show MURRAY, EAGLE, MURRAY. UTAH r o STTJ -- it t I '4 What to Give at News Notes Utah rI'A' i .1 IWYiAe SCOTT Y-a-r WATSON T WAS some unknown wit who made the statement recently that "Christmas greeting cards will cost this country $55,000,000, and that doea not take Into account the time lost In trying to remember to whom they should be sent." Although it would be difficult to estimate the value of the time "lost In trying to remember," as thl3 wag suggests, there are those who ati testify to the fact that his estimate of ?5r,OO0,O00 as the total cost of Christmas greeting cards Is a modest one, If not actually an underestimate. Dealers In Christmas cards will tell you that their business has virtually doubled each year for the lust five or six years. And the season of 1927 irobably will exceed all others in the volume of sales. One wholesale dealer In Christmas cards has reported that early in November his orders had already passed the V.i'X total and each week saw a steady Increase over the previous week. The number of Christmas cards used In the United States Ions ago d out of the realm of millions into billions. If there Is anyone who can testify to the Increasing popularity of the custom of sending Christmas cards, it Is Uncle Sam's mail man. He will tell you that these gay Utile lilts of cardboard have doubled ana trebled and quadrupled !! burden on his back around Christmas lime. Time was when you could send a Christinas card f r one cent. Now it costs two cents, but not soon runs into the nt'ti this extra penny-whi- ch Coii-amof dollar for the coffers of the post-- i has diminished the lined of tuoe department cards which beirins to pour into the mails Ht the ot (lie third week In IVoet alter and continues until after January 1. l'ir the Christmas card ts a tri'l in universal ! fur rememlierinc one's friend at the holiday ea"tt.

Uow iitnny fine huve you, looking through the stacks of cards that h n ail tiiitn brought you daring rhrislnias week, come across one which held your nt tension more than momentarily you said, "Here's one from Mr. and Mrs. r.lank. I'id we send them one ibis ear';" In fuct. the custom f sending t'hrlstmas cards lias become such a problem to those conventional minded persons who have never fully t realized the meaning of the r ls bare" statement Hutt ihey have declaied, "Never ngaln!" Hut the next year finds them adding their quota to the mountain of Clirlstm.n card which pile up In pott ollicos throughout the land. .Although the Christmas card I n comparative t.ewronier among Clirislmas tradiilons. It can by no means be regarded us an "Infant Industry." The figures nlready cited prove that.

However, in the early sixties ornamented note 11 paper and envelopes becin to appear In the stationers' shops nromid the holiday season nnd the use of these began to increase each year.
