Joining, as they do, an orGaniza-

CANARY HAS TRIP BY NAIL


Local postal employees were treated
to a surprise yesterday at finding in
the parcel post mail, marked Fra
gile," a canary. v SO u e.
The tiny songster was sent from
Mount Vernon by parcel post and
special delivery for resident of Cap
itol Hill, and gave no sign of not en-
doying its Imprisonment in Uncle
Sans mail until preparations were
made for sending it on the last leg
of it's journey. Then it had the flut-
tiers so badly that the parcel post
clerk was about ready to hurl him
self through the window, until he
peered through the airholes of the
container to find that he had a wee
canary. }t'
Although the sending of live birds
through the parcel post is not per-
mitted the canary was delivered to
its new owner yesterday noon.

SUNDAY EVENING BLAZE.

Just after dark Sunday evening
fire broke out in the garage and coal
house at the rear of the A. D. Guam
trell residence now occupied by Mt.
and Mrs. Roy 'DeKay. 1t is not
known how the fire started, but the
automobile, worth q thousand dollars
seemed to be the center of the fire
when discovered. There were some
other valuables in clothing. Tools
ETC., belonging to various persons
making the total loss about $140O
or $500, with no insurance.
The fire department responded
promptly, and prevented the spread
of the flames to other buildings, al
though the garage and contents were
nealy all burned.

SUGAR MONEY Discussed

Saturday was payday for beet rails
ers, and checks for $4,000 passed
to the farmers, besides those raised
on the company ranches.
The farmers delivered 1000 tons OF
beets in September, $4,000 tons in Oc-
tober, and about $4,000 have come
in this month, making total OF
about $4,000 tons from 5000 acres
planted.
The harvest is practically finished
today, and it is the shortest and best
campaign yet experienced for the
beet harvest. The grinding will con-
tinue until about the first of the
year.

A QUEER MAIL DELIVERY

One of the most remarkable mail
routes of the world is that which a
letter journeys in getting from Beebe
Plain, TT, to Beebe Plain, Quebec,
Canada. While the two offices are
within ten feet of each other-are To-
Gated in the same room, in fact-a
letter mailed from one office to the
other must make trip of 294 miles
81 miles in Canada and the rest in
the United States. ,a.
The plain, old fashioned store
building, which is situated on the in
ternational boundary line, contains
both the United States and Canadian
officers. There are separate entrances
to each, but both are, in the same
room, have the same lobby, and there
are no partitions to mark the division
between the domain of Uncle Sam
and the possession of King George.
IF you mail letter from the YER
mon, side addressed to the Quebec
side" says the postmaster, ut goes
from here to the junction. then to
Newport, then to White River juno
ton and back to Lennoxville, Quebec,
over the Boston and Maine. There it
is transferred to the Grand Trunk
and goes to southbound mail pouch,
and comes to Stanstcad Junction, and
then back to this same building,
distance of 294 miles.
IF you wish to mail letter from
the American side to Derby Lane 1t
must go to White River Junction, and
then come back over the official
route"

VARIED LENGTH OF INFANCY
Period Of HeipIessness Seems to Colin
eide with the Size of the
Animal.


t It is often remarked that the infancy
of human beings today is longer than
/ it formerly was. This seems to be in
evitable, owing to the higher state Of
society In general way, the more
highly developed an animal is the
longer an apprenticeship it will have
to serve before it is ready to cut loose
from parental and other restraints and
shift for itself.
Two interesting books have recently
been brought out, which treat of this
matter in infancy as applied to the va
rious animals. The period of infancy
varies very widely Mice have prac-
tically no infancy, but at six weeks are
parents of more mice. Human beings
are helpless at birth and for years
after. The horse is grown up" at
three years, while the elephant re-
quires seven or eight times that length
of time to develop fully. Thus the,
elephant is just entering upon life
when the horse is ready to die of old
age. :r ID s
In a general way, says the Path
finder, the length of infancy tends to
run parallel with the relative bulk of
the animal-the larger animals re-
curing more time to grow and devel-
op their full vigor. In some cases low
er animals attain maturity only by a
succession of curious stages. The shell
Of crab when once hardened cannot
grow and the crab is forced to mott or
cast off his outgrown shell from time
larger.
A crab when growing this new shell
is known as soft shell or soft" crab,
and at such times he is, of course, es-
pecially subject to attack from his
enemies, as the shell, which is the nat
ural armor, is wanting. In museums
there are exhibits of as many as four
teen castoff shells of single crab, be-
ginning with very tiny one and each
one just size larger than the last.
Shellfish have their skeletons out
side them in the form of their shells
instead of inside them. But what a
waste of material is involved in a sys-
tenn which requires them to manufac-
ture new skeleton every new moon
or at other short intervals, only to be
thrown away as soon as it is finished
The state of development of AMI
mails when born depends great deal
on the conditions that are to surround
them during infancy. Young rabbits
which are born in an underground
burrow, are blind, naked and helpless
at birth; the young hare, which is own
cousin to the rabbit, is born with its
eyes open and covered with fur, and
this because it is born above ground,
where it is exposed both to the in.
clemency of the weather and predatory
foes. Thus in measure each is suit
ed to its surroundings.

SYSTEM FOR MARKING PIGS
Best Method Is Making Notches In
Ears and Having Each Notch Rep
resent Definite Number.
(By GEORGE MORRIs.)

(By GEORGE MORRIS.)
When a farmer raises pigs for sale
as breeders, he should have definite
system of marking each litter. There
are several methods of doing this, OF
which perhaps the best consists OF
making notches in the ears and hav-
ing each notch represent a definite
number
By means of the following method
as many as 4 hundred filters may be
marked with not to exceed four
notches in the ears of each pig. For
example: Let notch on the lower
edge of the left ear represent No. 1 /;
on the same edge near the tip, No. 10;
on the upper edge Of the same ear
near the tip, No. 20. On the right
ear, lower edge near the head, let the
notch represent No. g. and on the
same edge near the tip, No. 80; on
the upper edge of the same ear, No.
s. and on the same edge near the tip,
No. so. This system is easy to re-
member. All you have to keep in
mind is that No. is on the left ear
near the head and No. just above 1t

Expensive Boat Race.

A writer in Bailey's Magazine Of
England has been figuring on the cost
of the annual boat race between Ok
ford and Cambridge, and says the ex
pense to each crew may be approx
mately estimated at $4,000 for each
He then says that as the contest rare
ly takes more than twenty minutes
the cost works out at about $500 per
minute, or about So every time the
oars dip into the water The cost OF
the boats is placed at $3.50, and the
oars at $40, the rest of the money go.

til the day of the race. The writer
seems to think that $4,000 is a good
deal of money to spend on a college

to know what he would think of many
times that amount spent upon the

Marking Young Pigs.

on the upper edge, and that on the
right ear No. 8 is on the lower edge
near the head and No. is just above
1t on the upper edge. Near the tips
the numbers are just ten times as
large as those near the head.
Each pig of litter No. 1 should have
the notch on the upper edge of the
same ear, those of number three
should have the notch on the lower
edge of the right ear near the head
those of No. should have a notch on
the lower edge of both ears near the
head. By following this system any
number Of combinations of these
numbers may be made up to 100.
By studying the illustration one
may get good idea of this method of
marking. THE key head shows the
method already described, while the
other three figures show how the ears
are marked for filters S, II and Al.
Each year the filters should be num-
bered in the order of their birth, each
pig in the litter being given the same
marking. Always record the litter
