The weight limit of parcels
post packages will be increased
Jan. LIST from 20 pounds to 30
pounds. When the parcels post
law was enacted it provided that
the Postmaster General could en-
large the service aud change the
limits, by and with the consent
OF Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
With limited weight of 20
pounds this service has already
proven great blessing by bring
ing the producing farmer into
direct communication with the
city consumer, and with this
raising of the limit TO 30 pounds
not only will butter and eggs and
vegetables be more largely ship
ped but also poultry and fresh
meats will be sent directly from
the producer to the consumer
therebygiving greater prosperity
Ia the farmer and at the Same
tir,ereducing the cost of living
to Mr.. City Man. Postmaster
GeneraF Burlesoh only came in
TO Office on March 4th of this
year and last summer he changed
the limit frcm ii pounds to 20
pounds, and now he changes it to
50 pounds, which is sufficient ev.
idence for the belief that in less
than a year he will ask permits
sion to carry packakes for the
public of 100-pound weight
through the postoffico. 1t is the
general belief that the end OF
express companies is in sight and
that in a few years they will be
taken over by the Postoffice De-
partment, which should have
been done many years ago.

Ii is simply wonderful how the
character of our national Govern
ment is being so rapidly trans
formed in the interest of the peO-
pie since Woodrow Wilson be-
came President of the United
States last March. The Curren-
cy bill which will be the greatest
ACT that has passed Congress in
the last so years for .emancipat-
ing an unthrottling business, will
be passed and become a law most
likely before Christmas. The
scope of the Parcel Post service
has been greatly enlarged so that
on Jan. LIST, 1914 the Postoffice
Department will carry packages
weighing up to so pounds within
300 miles of the point of ship
ment. Furthermore, it is well
known that President Wilson and
the Postmaster General ars now
seriously thinking of recommend
ing to Congress that the tele-
graph and telephones be taken O.
yer by the Government, as they
have been in England, France
and Germany and run in the in.
terest of the people instead of in
the interest OF the stockholders.

Webster, S. D.-When j. II. Dun
kin, who makes his home with the
Wilcox family here, undertook to
light his pipe while Watching Mrs.
Wilcox quilting a comforter, things
commenced to happen. The head OF
the match flew off and struck the
cotton in the comforter, which be-
came on the instant a mass of flames

comforter, quilting frame and all and
and carried it out of doors in time
to save the building and it's contents,
but at the expense of severely burned
hands which will keep him from
work for several weeks.

acres OF semi-arid land can be
brought under bitches by using the
natural flow OF water in the Missouri
river and conserving the surplus
waters in flood times.
Already the government engineers
AT Washington are studying the pro

standpoint of an effort to solve the

method is to dispense with the water

So the suffrage lady took the green ana

over her mirror for her lucky piece.
The hat. by the way. was only ten cents,
and the little girl went away happy with
her purchase and three brand new buffalo
nickes
