Deep Flowing Essential.

In all dry-farming countries deep

The Firms came originally from the Altai

Land tenure and land service in Finland pre-

The class of peasant which may be called Ia
C"rarfarmers' consists of men who receive no
wages. They occupy buildings bicnging TO the
landowner. which they are required to keep in
repair. The landowners make grants of seed
and other necessaries. and of certain lands which
the aborerfarmers cultivate for their own bene-
fit. They have free access to the forest for fuel
and for lumber for repairs. In return they are
obliged to work for the landowner with their
own families and horses. On holdings. where
there is clay, the laborer-farmers are allowed to

Finland was first occupied by the Russians in
1903. Alexander l. granted the inhabitants

Like other folk. the Firms rejoice in festivals
religious and p~rofane. Christmas is the great
est OF them all Ever so long before the eve Of
the Nativity the stores are crowded with people

Big Record for the First Seven Days
 of It's Operation.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Six million packages were handled by parcel post during the first seven days of the op- eration of the system, according to figures prepared today by experts of the post office department. The figures were compiled from reports received by Postmaster General Hitchcock from 1,5e4 out of the 1850 post offices hav- ing city delivery, service and estimates made from scattering reports of the remaining post offices of the country.
 As al1 of the offices were e1osed on New Years day and Sunday, the re- ports covered substantially only five days. Practically all pnstmasters re- pert a steady increase of parcel post business,

sponded and were soon assisting in the fire fight.
 The Star theatre building was doomed. The firen1en made a great effort to prevent the fire from spread ing, but were handicapped, as they could not battle with the bIazes in the rear. At the request of Chief Cottrell the big pumps in the mill of the Wes- terly Textile company were put in operation and did effective work. With the aid of a boat two lines of hose were taken over the river and the fire was attacked from the rear. By tlds time the theatre building was al most completely burned, the brick building gutted. The flames swept through and around the rear end of the brick building and communicated with the Isaac Sherman company plant.
 The fTrennen worked vigorously for three hours before the blaze was con- sidered under control and the Wes- terly flremen were relieved from fur ther assistance. The Pawcatuck fire men remained on duty until after dusk keeping two streams of waterNo on the smoking ruins of the theatre building and what was left of the Sherman plant A detail of f1remen guarded the smoking mass during Wednesday night.
 The total loss on the three build ings and contents is estimated at s40,- 900, with insurance for about half that amount
