A number of years ago blackbirds
were exceedingly abundant through
eastern Nebraska. They were so pien-
tiful that the farmers believed they
were damaging crops. SO they began
poisoning the birds A single grain OF

to kill a blackbird In the years that

thousands OF quail. prairie chickens

Parcel Post

Ere long Uncle Sam will be in the
midst of delivering merchandise in
packages, boxes etc., not exceeding II
pounds, thru the mails. January 1st, 1913,
is the date set for the beginning SO every
body should Re getting in touch with the
new idea.
The following features should be care
fully noted "That distinctive. parcel
post stamps must be used on all fourth
class matter beginning January l, 1918,
and that such matter bearing ordinary
postage stamps will be treated as "Held
for postage"
THAT parcels will be mailable only at
post offices, branch post offices, lettered
and local-named stations, and such num-
bered stations as may be designated by
the postmaster.
That all parcels must bear the return
card of the sender; otherwise they will
not be accepted for mailing"
1t will be quite interesting to see how
this new feature in the mail department
will work out. 1t is believed to be a
good thing, altho it has its defects, and it
is loped that everything will work out
for the good of all.
