Said Could Not Resist Killing

by Hickey.
Hickey killed both boys by strangu-
lation. He attributed his crimes 20
the excessive use Of liquor When

Irresistible mania for killing boys. He
denied he committed other similar
crimes and said he was repentcnt for
his deeds and expected to pay penalty.

police postal cards resulted in his ar
rest An acquaintance of Hickey in

Although the new parcel post law
goes into effect Jan. l comparatively
few persons understand it's provisions.
Perhaps this accounts for Uncle Sans
recent activity in preparing a parcels
post map and scattering copies of it
broadcast over the country.
Uncle Sams map is very much like
the one shown above. It's most no.
ticeable feature is the division of the
country into zones.
Now, you have doubtless heard of
the zone system in connection with
the parcels post and wondered what
1t meant. A glance at Uncle SANS
map will show you, though to COM
pletely. understand it you may have
to imagine yourself as living at the
national capital.
The map shows clearly the real
tion to each zone to the city of Wash
ington. Uncle Sam might have
drawn map showing the relation Of
each zone to the city of Kokomo and
1t would have been just as good for
illustrative purposes. III.
The zone marked one on the map
has a radius of fifty miles; zone two
includes the area outside Of zone
one for radius of $50 miles; zone
three the area outside of zone two
for a radius Of 800 miles; zone four
the area outside of the third zone
for radius of 600 miles; zone five
the area outside of the fourth zone for
a radius of 1000 miles; zone six the
area outside of the fifth zone for ra-
dius of 1,400 miles; zone seven the
area outside the sixth zone for ra
dius = of 1900 miles; zone eight al
the area outside the seventh zone
including the Philippines sts r.

Map showing Parcel Post Zone System.

If you were living at Washington
and wanted to send a pound of candy
to. a friend in Fort Wayne, Ind, a
glance at tho map would show you
that Fort Wayne is in the fourth zone.
Referring to the table, you would
note that the cost of sending the
parcel to the fourth zone would be
s cents. s.fs 81.
If instead of sending the candy to
Fort Wayne you wanted to send 1t
to Erie, Pa, the cost Of sending 1t
would be only cents, as Erie is
in the third zone. The shorter the
distance the parcel is to travel the
smaller will be the. expense of send
ing it. And OF course the weight of
the package will have something
ito do with the expense of sending
it also.

SHORTAGE OF
men IN WOODS
CAMPS WITHOUT CREWS is
SITUATION IN THE LOGGING
INDUSTRY.

Duluth, Nov. ga shortage OF men
is threatened in the lumber camps in
this part of the country this winter
Those companies which have estab-
lished logging camps are having great
difficulty in getting full crews, and it
is claimed that so far there are no
such things as full crews. They have
what they call skeleton crews" con-
sisting of cooks and foremen and no
Workmen.
However, this is expected to be
remedied to a very large extent be-
fore long, for soon the lake traffic
will be over and there will be deck
hands and freight handlers looking
for winter jobs. Also the type of men,
1t is claimed, who ordinarily work in
the woods in, winter, will wait until
the cold is too strong for loating, and
will then want to get good warm places
to sleep and good grub" to eat dur
ing the winter months and will begin
applying for jobs in the woods. But
so far there is little prospect of start
ing logging early. A number OF Du-
luth firms, representing the sawmills
here and tho tie and post dealers, have
opened camps, but the conditions de-
scribed prevail in all of them.
OF late years extra inducements have
had to be offered men to get them to
go into the woods, for labor is becom-
ing scarcer every year, but this year,
Ii is said, not only extra, but extraor-
binary inducements are being offered.
Better accommodations are being fur
nished at the camps and far better
food than usual is being laid up for
the "lumberjack' who this year favors
employers with his service.
Labor is scarce in all lines, 1t is
claimed. and with the west demanding
men for railroad construction even
during the winter, it is expected that
there will be something of a dearth in
the supply. Just what effect this will
have on logging this winter is still to
be seen

SURVEYORS At WORK IN
RAlLROADLESS COUNTY

DICKINSON, Feb. 21.-The pres
ence of Northern Pacific surveyors In
the country eighty miles north Of
Dickinson is causing much specula'
ton. Six outfitting teams went from
this city the past week to the mouth
Of Cherry creek, ten miles this side
of the Little Missouri river. G. E..
Coons and W. c. Woody. Northern
Pacific surveyors, are in charge OF
tae crew of eighteen men, but they
would not give out any information
when leaving the city. Citizens be-
lieve that the Northern Pacific intends
to connect it's branch line north from
Mandan with the Sidney, Mont, branch
from Glendive, and that the plan is
to push through central Mercer county
thence following the Missouri river
through northern Dunn county and
west through central Mckenzie coun-
ty. This would give the company a
fine territory for its north line.
