GAN SEND PARCEL
POST COD. JULY |.
POSTMASTER NlMoCks RECEIVES
REGULATIONS REGARDING NEW
w. FEATURE TODAY.

The G.. o. D. feature in connection
with the parcel post service will be
inaugurated July LIST according to. ad
vices received by Postmaster Nimocks
this morning. r..,
The regulations regarding this new
service read as follows:
1.-THE sender of mailable parcel or
which the postage Is fully prepaid
may have the price of the article and
the charges thereon collected from the
addressee on payment Of fee of ten
cents, provided the amount to be col
lected does not exceed 800. Such &
parcel will be insured against loss
without additional charge, in an
amount equivalent to its actual value
but not to exceed $50. The sender
will be given receipt showing the date
Of mailing and the amount due him.
A C. o. D. parcel will be accepted
for mailing only at money order office
and when addressed to a money order
office. The addressee will not, be per
mitted to examine the contents OF
C. o. D. parcel until it has been re-
ceipted for and all charges paid
The postoffice department will not
be responsible for errors made by
senders in stating the collection
charges or for any misunderstanding
between sender and addresses regard
ing the character or contents Of par
cells.
This new feature will extend the
privilege of the parcel post service in
a new direction and will be of vast
benefit to the general public. 1t will
no longer be necessary to know the
amount of postage required to bring
a parcel to the buyer and will elimf.
nate the necessity Of making out ap'
plications for money orders and drafts
as the new law provides that the re.
ceipt signel by the addressee shall
be considered an application for a
money order.
Another feature of the new regula-
ton is that no additional fee is
charged for insuring the parcel, the
collection fee in itself insuring the
delivery of the parcel to the addressee.

FAIRFIELD HELD
FIRST STATE FAIR
Historical Society Plans to Mark the
Place Of Holding Initial Exposl'
ton by Monument.

Fairfield, March 8.-Fairfield plans
to have monument to mark the spot
where Iowa's state fair was first held
Fairfield has the honor OF having
originated the state fair, and 1t was
held in this city.
The county historical society mas
plans on foot for the purpose OF marx.
ing the site. The state fair was hello
on the land between North Third ana
North Fourth streets, from Grimes TO
Lowe. 1t is proposed to place monu'
ment at the southwest corner OF this
tract, which would be at the inter-
section of Fourth and Grimes streets.
The historical society is advocating
the placing of monuments such as this
and a soldiers monument at different
points throughout the city, instead OF
punching them in one park in the CEN
ter Of town. This plan gives greater
number of attractive spots both Tor
the visitor and the local resident.

CAN MAINTAIN LIFE
IN SEVERED CELLS

Washington, May S.-Sustained
life in parts of the human tissue aft
er the organs have died, like the
snakes tail, which the schoolboy
knows does not die until after the
sun has set, was the theme discussed
yesterday at the closing session of
the congress of American physicians
and surgeons. The meeting of the
congress ended last night with q re-
ception.
According to papers read by emf
nent authorities life in cells taken
from a living animal organism has
been sustained under certain condi-
tions for more than four years after
the animal from which they were ta-
ken ceased to exist. The speakers
declared that it ultimately would be
clearly demonstrated that life in sew
cred cells could be sustained for as
long a period as the organism would
| live under normal conditions.
! All maintained that life could be
maintained in severed cells and that
there could be regular growth in the
actual cell division and not merely de-
generative movement. 1t also was
| declared that life could be suspended
and made active again through the
application of a proper medium. Lam
| tern slides illustrated the addresses
of all the speakers.

and Pendleton's representative on the
league directorate, and Fred w.
Lampkin, one of the directors OF the

la Walla. The meeting was called to
discuss proposed changes in the
schedules. Pendleton has no partic-
ular grievance except that she has
three straight weeks of baseball in
August but Baker, La Grande and
North Yakima are all dissatisfied.
The principal protestor was Owner
Hosier of the Baker team, a hard
headed-business man who has taken
hold of the Diggers to make the team
self-supporting organization.

Then, if the larger towns are draw
ing better crowds and want more than
ten series, they can arrange to have
some of the series switched and the
smaller town teams can get part OF
their travelling expenses. AS it is, Ba-
ker and La Grande, which have the
smallest population to draw from will
presumably draw the smallest crowds
when they are at home, are kept on
