Parcel Post Delays
New p. o. Building

1t Is probable that the work which
was to have started on the new
postoffice building here in the spring
will be held up for time because
of the new order from the postmas-
ter general revising the plans sub
mitted for the office to make room
for advantageous handling of the
parcel post business. The govern
ment has 174 buildings under con-
struction and 233 proposed build
ings on which they have advertised
for bids-alll OF which win be re-
vised for the accommodation of the
parcel post.
The following dispatch comes
from Washington today: To pro-
vide adequate space for handling
parcel post business 1t will be nec-
essary to revise plans of many pub
Tic buildings in which postoffices
are located and negotiations to this
end already have been instituted by
Postmaster General Hitchcock. To-
day, the postmaster general invited

Hog sale.

The sale yesterday at the fair
grounds Of SIS head of pure bred
Duroc bred sows and gifts by John

ever held here. There were buyers
from many Kansas counties who de-
sired to secure some fine animals
and they were mot disappointed. MIR.
Higgins has made it point to breed
only the best of the kind and the
results yesterday justify his efforts.
There were sold Sc head Of brsd

in the matter with the building
committee of the postoffice depart
ment and the special parcel post
committee. At present TIA public
buildings are under contract and
233 additional have been appro-
priated for by congress. They ap-
proximate in cost $50. 1000 900. The
plans for these buildings have been,
prepared without regard for the
needs of parcel post system and 1t
is now essential that changes be
made In their construction in order
that the increased volume of mail
may be handled advantageously.
Word has been received at Salina
that the cost OF enlarging the office
there will exceed the amount avail
able at this time and a new set Of
plans and specifications are being
drawn up for new bids. The Abilene
office has not received notice of a
change Of plans but they will prob
ably be made under the sweeping
orders OF the postmaster general.

"DON'TSc REGARDING
THE PARCEL POST.

Here are few handy ''don'ts"
relative to the use of the parcel post
which may save you some trouble If
you cut them out and save them:
Don't try to use ordinary stamps;
the distinctive parcel post stamps
must be used.
Don't seal your package; wrap
and tie securely.
Don't forget the name of the
sender must be on the outside OF
the package. VI
Don't forget to mark your package

Don't forget to mark your pack

ANOTHER DOUBLE TRAGEDY
FOR BASKET BALL TEAMS.

1t can at least be said that the
high school basket ball teams are
a sadder bunch. 1t took the county
high school just two hours to give
the local teams the latest word in
the trimming line at Chapman Sat-
urday evening. The story OF the
boys game reads as to 1s and the
girls score puts up just as bad. an
appearance with "a to 10.
There is a suspicion abroad that
the Abilene teams we're outplayed.
The next games on the home court

when the Abilene boys meet the sa-

girls from Enterprise.

PIONEER COW TESTING
ASSOCIATION STARTS, WOKK
First Work of Kind Begins in Dick
inswn County.

The first cow testing association
in Kansas or in the United States
began its work in Dickinson county
last week. The association was or
ganized here few weeks ago with
a large number of farmers around
Abilene Interested in its work.
The purpose of the association is
to keep records of the cows owned
by the members. The association
has hired a man to VISIT each farm
one day out of every month. He
weighs the milk of every COW and
tests it; weighs the feed, too, and
records all of these operations for
one day. With this information at
hand farmer can calculate, readily,
the profit or loss made by every COW
in his herd.
To finance the association every
member pays one dollar year for
every COW he owns. This money
goes to pay the salary of the man
who does the testing and for other
incidental expenses. The association
here is organized on the basis of
400 cows.
1--WE hope to have more of these
associations in Kansas" said o. 3.
Reed, head of the dairy department
at the agricultural college. "They
will help to raise the low average
milk production of the Kansas COW.
There are two reasons for this low
average production. Either the COW
is not naturally a good milk pro-
ducer or she is not properly fed.
There is only one way to discover |
the poor mixer and that is to get |
her record. The practicable way to
build up a dairy herd is to begin
with ordinary cows, secure a first
class bull of one of the dairy breeds,
and then save the heifer calves from
only the best cows"

commissioners its propositions for
the pumping OF the city water and
