PARCEL POST RATES
Have Been Reduced in Four
Zones and Weights In
creased to so Pounds

There is no doubt now but what
the parcel post service is entirely
successful and very popular with
the people. The increased business
of the postoffice department through
4 the Inauguration of the parcel post
&as4ed to several important changes:
lfhe weight limit has been increased
to fifty pounds and the rates have
been reduced on parcels exceeding
four ounces in the third, fourth,
fifth and sixth zones,
These changes have been promul.
gated by Postmaster General Burle-
son in two orders as follows:

On and after March 16, 1914, the
classification of articles maiIable un-

UPKEEP OF A RAILROAD

If all the carloads of material
used annually by the Southern Pa
cific Company-and it requires 49,
600 cars to transport this material
annually-for the single items of
maintenance and operation, were
strung out one after the other, they
would extend over a distance of 108
miles. This comparison gives fair
idea of the great quantity of sup
plies required every year by the
company for upkeep and to insure
the safe and steady movement of
trains.
Figured out in car space, this ma
terial takes up 5,130, 900 square feet,
an equivalent of an area two miles
long and one mile wide. Were the
cars arranged in trains of fifty each,
300 trains would be required.
None of this material is used for
new construction. If that item
were included, the figures would be
even larger. The majority of it is
handled through the company's gen.
eral stores at Portland, Sacramento,
Oakland and Los Angeles. from
where it is distributed to the var
ious division depots. 1t includes
DO, 900 to $4,000 different articles.
The Southern Pacific makes it a
practice to purchase wherever posi-
BILE in the localities traversed by its
lines. In this manner it aims to
give a stimulus to home industry.
The lumber used for upkeep by
the company every year amounts to
80, 900, 900 feet, so that it may be
readily seen that it costs something
to run a railroad.

SANTA CLAUS SAYS

A face wreathed in smiles is bet
ter than a mansion wreathed in holly.
Better broken toys than broken
hearts.
Never look a gift-object in the
price tag.
Santa Claus by any other name
would cost as much-and be worth it.
Do not be satisfied with wishing
people a Merry Christmas" help
make it one.
Lots of men put on long white
whiskers and think they look like
me when they look more like a goat
and perhaps they are.
If Willie wants to see what is in
side the drum, for goodness sake let
him.
You are living in Gods own coun-
try. What more 90 you want for
Christmas?
1t is wise Santa who keeps his
whiskers away from the candles.
Keep up the Good will to man"
part of it right through until next
sChristmas.
1t is more blessed to give than to
receive, except in the matter of of
fence.
Fortunately for most Of Us, we
won't get what we deserve on Christ
mas.
When Christmas giving becomes
a necessity it ceases to be virtue.
There is more joy in heaven over
a ton of coal given to the poor than
ton of diamonds given to the rich.

FIRST LOVE

Sweet glances quite shy;
Where Cupid let fly
His arrows tipped with love,
Which thrilled the heart,
By their keen dart,
Making you moan as the dove.
And sigh for the sight
Of the beauty so bright,
Who reused your pulses so warm,
Making them beat
In time so fleet
That caused you the greatest alarm.
While your features glowed
From fervor bestowed,
BY young love with her sweet charm,
And drove away fear
While she was near
Whom you would shield from all harm.
Oh, youthful prime,
Happiness in all time,
When shyly you stole your first kiss
From sweet ruby lips,
With the rosiest tips,
While all seemed an Eden of bliss.
Heaven in view,
As sparkling dew,
Refreshing to lips so dry,
Parched and athirst,
Very slowly at first,
You drank the sweet nectar nigh.
With feelings renewed,
AS often as viewed,
You shyly repeated again,
Till the heart was thrilled,
And the soul was filled,
Lulled as if from falling rain,
How oft the mind
Would seek to find
Reproof for your rash act,
But never could reprove,
AS impulse would move,
The heart which denied not the fact;
That it was bound,
When young love found
The fetter which held him fast,
Which never did gall,
While it held in thrall,
Taking him capture at last.

There is no cause for alarm about

avenue paving, says w. II. Kolts, su-

the work. For time the paving
seemed to be very soft at the crossings,
and even stuck to the shoes of pas
sersby. Mr.. Kolts says that all new
esphalt. paving does this the first year
but there is then an evaporation of a
certain ingredient of the top coat,
which leaves it pliable but still very
dry. Wednesday night Mr.. Kolts had
the entire street thoroughly swept and
sprinkled lot of very fine sand over
the entire street, which will gradually
wear into the asphalt and make it
much better.

MORTGAGES ON DECREASE
Register Of Deeds Reports an Increase

crease in Chattle Mortgages.

The Register OF Deeds office reports
that the recording OF Warranty Deeds
Cor the month of April 1918 was fully
enc third in advance Of the number Of
like instruments filed for the same
month last year, while in April this
year the number of Chattle Mortgages
filed was considerably less than was
filed in the same month, last year.
This condition would appear TO show
an increased activity in real estate
marketing over last year, and a de-
crease in the number OF people who
have to mortgage their crops and other
shattles TO live through the summer.
