SUMPTION AND COMMON
SENE ON The FARM

When some fellow wants to let you
in On the ground floor, look out!
The ground floor is where the suckers
are ground fine.
Don't flare up like a badly trimmed
lamp. The man who keeps cool al
ways has the better of the argument.
Many men when in deep trouble
fail to find what may be the best
way out--consulting the wife. She is
your partner, for both profits and
losses, and heG advice is always
worth considering.
When a stormy day comes, spend
a few hours looking over the garden
seeds for the coming season. See
that they are not being affected by
dampness nor by excessive heat
The mice may be helping themselves
on the amount of grass-seed sown to
the acre. OF late years seed has
been high, and the tendency has been
to SOW less than was needed to bring
good crop. Better save somewhere
else.

SOCIETY WOMAN
GROWS ALARMED

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-The
series of magnificent social affairs by
which Mrs. Edward T. Sotesbury. wife
of ]. Pierpont Morgan's partner, Was
winning the social leadership of Phil
adelphia may come to an abrupt end
because of menacing opposition from
an unknown quarter.
Since the second of her splendid
balls. each OF which cost fortune
and was marked by the most lavish
and bizarre entertainment, a series of
threatening letters have been received
by the tinancier and his wife.
The letters were mailed in the mill
section of Philadelphia, where small
newspaper has attacked edftor.aliy
the custom of spending vast sums on
society entertainments.
Mrs. Stotesbury, who was Mrs.
Oliver Cromwell, of Washington, be-
gan, soon after her second maria ge,
TO devise the most elaborate and i'm
posing assemb!ages OF society that
Philadelphia has ever seen. Her hus-
band, with his vast interests. was
amply able to permit her unstinted
expenditures.
1t is said. however. that Mrs Stotes-
bury's expenditures on her two balls
of the winter were exaggerated in
published reports. Nevertheless.
friends of her husband and herself
have been alarmed by the threatening
nature of the letters recently received.
Even the lives Of the financier and his
bride were menaced.
Mrs. Stotesbury has shown that she
does not take the threats lightly by
making a personal appeal to some Of
the local society editor. asking that
for time at least her name be kept
out OF the society columns of the
and that nothing be said
a bout any of her entertainments.
She also has given strict instruc-
lions at both the Bellevue-Stratford
and the Ritz Carlton. where she holds
most Of her functions. that no infor-
nation shall be given at either hotel
her coming or going.

formulating this system the govern

plan adopted by some European coun-
tries.
The Zone System.
In all there are eight OF these zones.
each defining q territory and fixing
charges to be made upon parcels. The
center of these gone circles to all In
tents and purposes is any postoffice in
any town q the United States where
the shipper may happen to reside. The
zones have been also divided into
units or sections in which towns and
cities are situated.
AS each locality makes it's own first
zone Ii has been necessary for the
postoffice department to print sepa-
rate maps for all sections Of the
United States.
IL the shipper In Richmond wishes
TO send a package to Raleigh, which
is In the second Richmond zone, he
would take Il to the pestofflce and
the postofflce clerk would place IT on
n pair OF newly constructed scales.

manufactured and delivered to the
various city posto1sices throughout the

In these scales the clerk will desig-
nate the zone to which the package

Separate provision has been made
for all packages that weigh four

tenn OF fourth-class matter there will

II will be charged the pound rate.
Every clerk and every postmaster
handling the parcels post will have
map and guide book holding the

The postofiSce department has also
issued a guide book and map that
can be purchased for seventy-five
cents.
A special series OF stamps have been
engraved and will be used exclusive

stamps will be ohtainable on January
