PARCELPOSI INCREASE

a Washington Dispatch to the
State Press dated December said
Postmaster General Burleson's
proposal to increase the weight linn
its of parcel post packages in the first
and second zones from 20 to so
pounds, to admit books to the parcel
post, and to reduce rates in the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth zones, was ap-
proved today by the interstate COM
merce commission.
The maximum weight Of parcels
to all zones beyond the second was
increased from II to 20 pounds.
The commissions consent" to the
proposed changes was transmitted in
three letters from Chairman Clark
to Postmaster General Burleson.
The approved changes in rates and
weights to be in effect January 1,
1914, follow:
To reduce the rates for the third
zone from seven cents for the first
pound and five cents for each addi-
tional pound to six cents for the first
pound, and cents for each addition
al pound to reduce the rates for the
fourth zone from s cents for the first
pound and six cents for each addi-
tional pound and four cents for each
additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the fifth
zone from nine cents for the first
pound and seven cents for each adj
ditional pound to eight cents for
the first pound and six cents for
each additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the sixth
zone from ten cents for the first
pound and nine cents for each addi-
tional pound to nine cents for the
first pound and eight cents for each
additional pound
at seems obvious" says the COM
mission, that the service to the pub
lie will be promoted by these changes
provided the revenue for the service
is not less than the cost thereof"
1--WE can conceive of no opposition
to the increased weights and reduced
rates proposed, except from the car
riers that transport the mails.

general with the consent of the COM

Miss Marion Sherwood will appear
here December 23 at Realty Opera
house in "The Spendthrift," play
from the pen of Porter Emerson
Browne. The story of the play is one
of intense dramatic interest, telling
of the domestic tangle arising from a
young wife's extravaganza and her
endeavor to free herself from it with
out letting her husband know of her
predicament. Mr.. Primrose has spar
ed no pains or expense in surround
ing Miss Sherwood with competent
cast and an elaborate production.

QUALITIES OF H0UDAN FOWL
One of Best Table Breeds In United
States-Not Recommended az Farm
Fowl on Account Of Crest.

The Houdan is one Of the best Ia
BILE breeds we have. 1t is also an ex-
cellent layer, producing eggs not only
Of large supply, but of generous size,
in the latter very much like the Min
orca.
AS farm fowl, however, they are
not recommended, for the reason that
it is a crested fowl. The young fall
easy prey to hawks on account Of
these crests preventing them from
seeing what is above them.
The old fowls, If given a free range,
are apt to be caught In rain storm,
and their crests become water-soaked,
which generally leads on to roup-

WELL-PROTECTED HENHOUSE
Layers Require Shelter From Cold
WIntry Blasts-FowIs RecIprocato
BY Producing More Eggs.

II is astonishing how much cold can
get into building through a few small
cracks or a broken frame of glass,
says the New England Homestead.
We built henhouse four years ago,
and the boards have shrunk so we
could see through between some Of
them. One morning we found the
snow had sifted in in little piles all
around our choice birds that we are
depending on for winter eggs.
We never can bear to see anything
suffer with the cold, so we at once
bought some patent roofing and cov-
cred the house, making all the laps air
tight with the cement that comes
with it.
Then l got bag of cement and went
all around the wall that the house
stood on and painted up every crack
and crevice l could find, and my, what
a difference it made!
The next morning, although the
weather was colder than before, it was
like going into cellar, it was so warm

and nice. Wife said they sang a diff
ferent song and seemed to smile at her
when she went out to feed them.
We find few small wind holes in a
henhouse will blow all the profits out
of our pockets.
We also built a nice scratching shed
open spaces in front to let in air and
sun in pleasant weather and close up
with curtains when it storms. The
hens seem to enjoy it very much when
It storms 30 they cannot go out. We
put load of nice clean sand in the
shed and then a few inches of litter
and what fun they do have scratching

This is to be effective March /,
