slrd Slaughter cond.nn.n

A strong protest is being made in South Australia against the continual slaughter Of such rare birds as the ibis, the egret. cranes and spoonbius 10 supply the demands of millipe-s The slaughter IS objectionable not only as destroying some Of the most beautiful and interesting creatures of nature, but, according 10 the Journa! Of Agriculture. also as rendering South Australia ever more prone to plaques of grasshoppers. and is 8 prime cause Of the decline of it's fst resources. As the wandering birds dis appear the crUstaceans that destroy fish spawn increase the multitude.

may conclude that the attendance is
To be larger than in former years.
Then there is an almost universal ex-
pectation that this is to be a season
of great spiritual blessing. Perhaps
that explains why some have mad
real sacrifices, this year, in order II

THE PARCEL POST.
How New Regulations Will Effect De
livery at Augusta Postoffce.

The new parcel post regulations
went into effect. Friday. 1t is eX-
pected that the new rates will ma
terially affect the parcel post delivery
at the Augusta office, as under the
change Boston comes within the limit
Of the second zone from this city and
one may mail 20-pound package for
"a cents, the rate being five cents fol-
the first pound on anything over fou
ounces, and one cent for each addi-
tional pound or fraction thereof.
In other words. a package may be
mailed from Boston to Augusta Va
cheapiy as from Boston Lowell; ais
a package may be sent from Augusta
to Boston as cheaply as from Angus
ia to Hallowell. Owing to the reten-
ton of the old maps and the markings
thereon, there has been some confu-
sion concerning the first and secone
zone rates. AS a matter of fact thes
two zones have. in effect, been con
solidated, and the rate outside loca
delivery is now the same to any poin
/ in the second zone as it is to any poin
| in the first zone.
/ The local rate, five cents for TIL
| first pound and one cent for each adj
dltional two pounds, applies To al
parcels mailed at the postoffice for de
livery from that office. whether b.
+ city carrier or rural carrier, or at tn
general delivery.
