The new parcels post system was inaugurated by the United States government on January 1, legal holiday, but not until yesterday did it begin to operate. About 50 parcels were sent out and fewer than that number were received at the local postoffice.

LANSING, Mich. Jan. 31.-Senator
Verne e ANDERSEN, Of the Nineteenth
district, went the Republicans one
better in the manner OF choosing
Ytate central committeeman by intro
ducing a bill to have them elected at
the August primaries every two
years. II is understood that Gov
Ferris has given his sanction 10 such
a measure TO representatives who
have consulted him. but Senator Am
berson is acting on his own initiative.
The senate gave its final approval
to four bills, one OF which was pro-
vided with an immediate effect
clause. This is the one introduced by
senator O'Dell, providing additional
inspectors in the state dairy and food
department 1t is thought the better
inspection is needed to keep down

increasing the salaries to be paid for
