  OBERLIN, Kansas(AP)-A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed in 1914, but its journey was much slower than Christmas.It has just arrived in northwest Kansas recently.

  The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from her cousins in Alma, Nebraska.

  “It’s a mystery where it spent most of the last century,”Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said.

  “It’s surprising that it never got thrown away,”he said.“How someone has found it, I don’t know.”

  Ethel Martin has passed away, but Schultz said the post office wanted to get the card to a relative.That’s how the 94-year-old relic ended up with Bernice Martin, Ethel’s, sister-in-law.She said she believed the card had been found somewhere in Illinois.

  “That’s all we know,”she said.“But it is kind of curious.We’d like to know how it got down there.”

  “The card was placed inside another envelope with a modern postage stamp for the trip to Oberlin-the one cent postage of the early 20th century wouldn’t have covered it,”Martin said.

  “We don’t know much about it,”she said.“But wherever they kept it, it was in perfect shape.”

  Matt grows the nicest vegetables in the village. He grows fruits, too——big, sweet apples and oranges. And what else? Well, the biggest and the prettiest flowers.

  Things grow in Mitt’s garden all through the year. He cuts some flowers for his sitting-room table; and, of course, he eats some fruit and vegetables. But he sells everything else in the market. Matt is not a poor man—oh, no, he isn’t poor.

  I will tell you people do not understand him. And they do not understand has garden. “Why not?” you will ask, “It’s a good garden, isn’t it?”

  It is a wonderful garden. Matt grows things in spring, summer, autumn and winter. After that he does very little work. He sits in the garden with his small radio. And everything grows.

  People ask, “How does Matt grow these wonderful things? He waters the plants sometimes, but he doesn’t do anything else. He just sits under an orange tree with his radio. He listens to music nearly all day!” And that is all quite true. People cannot understand it, and so they don’t like it very much.

  Mutt likes music. But what about the garden? Who does the work? I will tell you another truth: the music does the work. All plants love music; and Matt knows that.

  Do you want big vegetables and the loveliest flowers? Well, just give your plants a lot of music.
