since the postal authorities have
decided to use no more and to
use the ordinary stamp for par
eel post purposes. This order

the bulletin notifying the several
post officers having been dated
June 81. The fact that the AS
sociated Press carried a story

convenience to those who took
the press account as authentic,
some having used the ordinary
stamps prior TO July /, only to
have articles returned.
The order reads: "On and after
July 1, ordinary postage stamps,
including commemorative issues,
shall be valid for postage and
for insurance and collect on de-
livery fees on fourth class
mail, and distinctive parcel post
stamps shall be valid for all pur-
poses for which ordinary stamps

craving and printing are ex-
hausted and no additional sup.

The co D. parcel post rule

The Spurrier Lumber Co., OF
Guthrie. Oklahoma. has secured
a quarter of block on the cor

CANNOT BE
PROSECUTED
Attorney General Makes
Decision Regarding
Webb Law.

The Webb law forbidding in
terstate shipments of liquor into
dry states is not a criminal
statute and violations Of it can
not be prosecuted in United
States courts. Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds so declared in
instructions sent to every United
States attorney in the country.
The law merely prohibits such
interstate traffic and contains
no penalty for infraction.
"Its purpose" said the attor-
ney general, sis to permit state
laws to operate in respect to in
toxicating liquors moving in in
terstate commerce"
The law simply deprives ship
pers of any privileges they might
claim on the ground OF inter-
state commerce and permits the
application of state prohibition
laws to interstate commerce in
liquors.
This is the first time the de-
partment of justice has con-
strued the Webb law which was
declared unconstitutional by for
mer President Taft aud former
Attorney General Wickersham.

They viii be authorized to make

The state wardens are in turn
permitted to report to the fed

they discover them within ma

tions to put out such fires or to
