Celestial New Year,

According to the Chinese calendar.
the new year begins on the 25th Of
January. The day is celebrated with
great rejoicings. Professions and fes-
rivals of the carnival sort are held in
the principal cities The Chinese are
extremely fond of fireworks and are
adopts in the manufacture of them.
Many kinds are used in their New
Years celebrations. The noisy kinds
are particularly popular, so that the
professions move along in hula
baloo OF popping noises. The process
sions differ in the different localities.
AT Canton. for instance, one curious
feature is the bearing aloft of little
girls on long poles. The girls are
CARRIED to represent idols. Borne high
above the crowd. each girl is sheltered
by big umbrella carried on a still
longer pole. They look like pretty
flowers rising above meadow. One
of these quaint professions is always
a most interesting sight to the for
eigner.

FOR CHEAP
PARCEL DELIVERY

There is a possibility that Senator
Beveridge may have hit upon an idea
which will result in the Introduction
of parcels post systems In the coun-
try as natural thing and without a
big fight in congress.
He proposes shat an extremely
cheap parcels post system for use on
rural delivery routes, as proposed by
Postmaster General Meyer, should be
given a fair trial on two or three
routes in different parts of the coun.
try.
1t could soon be determined then
whether it was feasible and it could
then be extended to other routes and
finally to cities as well. The rural
free delivery began in this way and
demonstrated its value under most
adverse circumstances.
The parcel post is being opposed
largely on the same grounds as were
advanced against rural delivery. Nc
one wants to hurt the cross roads
storekeeper or the fourth-class post
master, and so the idea is gaining
ground in congress that it might be
just as well to pass the resolution Of.
fered by Senator Beveridge and try
out the rural parcels post purely as
an experiment so that when con.
gress meets in December there would
be some data on which to base per.
manent plan.

ONE MAN DEAD
ANOTHER INJURED
As a Result of an Accident in
Nekoosa Paper Mill.

,%he breaking of barking machine
in the Nekoosa Paper Mill Saturday
at about 730 o'clock a. m. resulted
in the almost instantaneous death OF
Joseph Jankoski and the serious in
jury of Alex Wolski The men were
at work at the barker machine used
for trimming the bark off the bolts
when the latter without a moments
warning burst into fragments. Part
of the machine struck Joseph Jan
koski on the forehead with such fore
as to crush the skull, causing the
brain to ooZe out. His death re-
suited almost instantly. The other
man Alex Wolski, received numerous
scalp wounds and other serious bruis-
es about the neck and face, none of
which however are OF a fatal nature,
and his complete recovery is looked
for.
Drs. Pomainville and Waters were
summoned in whose care the in
jured men were placed.
Both parties are well known in
Nekoosa where they reside The
former, Joseph Jankoski, VINO was
killed is a single man of about % or
80 years of age, while the injured,
Alex Wolski, is married with a wife
and babe dependent upon him for
their support.

THE KIND OF HENS YOU NEED

Mrs. G. e. Dewey, wife of Rev. G,
E. Dewey, who is missionary and
evangelist for the American Baptist
Publication Society living at 632
Lee ST. claims to have the most Te-
markable hens on record.
She has six hens and a rooster, and
has averaged 24 eggs day all winter
when we remember that the prUdCc
of the biddy has ranged in price from
30-35 cents dozen as they have this
winter, you readily see that such hens
are worth having.
Mrs. Dewey's hens, however, are
none of the low-bcrn spasmotic
shanghai Plymouth Rock or Yellow
Leghorn, who are often times forced
TO cook overtime to supply the de-
mand. neither are they Of the $4,000
kind which take the first prize at the
poultry shows and are never heard to
cackle or lay an egg during the cold
months of the year when eggs are SO
