LIMIT IS EXTENDED
ON MAIL PARCELS
NEW YEARS
BEGINNING JANUARY MAXIMUM
WEIGHT Is MORE THAN
DOUBLED IN ALL ZONES.

On New Years day there will be-
come effective in the parcel post
regulations and revisions that modify
considerably the weight limits and the
rates of postage on PACKAGES to be de-
1ivered in certain zones, and that also
provide for the carriage Of books as
fourth class matter After the first
of the year the maximum weight of
parcels handled in the first and second
zones will be increased from 20 to so
pounds, and In the remainder OF the
eight zones the extension is from II
pounds to 90 pounds.
In accordance with these changes a
new table of rates has been sent the
postmasters. It was received by Post
master Logan yesterday. together with
other instructions relating to the
changes. While this table is a dull
layout of figures for reference, it is
interesting to note that SO pounds of
merchandise, farm products or miscel-
laneous matter, can be delivered in the
second zone for 54 cents A 20-pound
package will be carried to the most
distant zone for $2.40.
The extension of the system to in
clude books will not be made until
March Is. Then books will be ac-
cepted of any weight within The regu-
lations governing other fourth class
packages. The rate is given as l cent
for each two ounces when the book
weighs less than half pound, and the
regular zone rates when the weight is
more than that.
These new charges are not so revo-
lutionary that it will require revised
sets of directions to indicate them
The same maps and guides furnished
to postmasters and the public now
will be valid under these latest orders
In a letter which accompanies TIL,
instructions to postmasters, it is urged
that the public be made more ac-
quainted with the parcel post system
as cheap and expeditions carrier OF
small miscellaneous shipments. 1t ie
pointed out that the public mast know
more of the regulations covering
fourth class mail, and the postmasters
are asked to undertake this education

FOR GLACIER PARK
EVANS PROPOSES
REGULATIONS
HOW GOVERNMENT SHOULD RUN
PLAYGROUND SUGGESTED IN
BILL OF CONGRESSMAN.

A bill introduced by Representative
John NJ Evans to accept the jurisdc
tion of Glacier park for the federal
government has some proposed game
laws that are interesting now because
of recent cases in which the questions
covered in the bill were involved. The
bill also includes taking over COM
pletely the government of the park ac-
cordng to the cession made by the
state of Montana.
The Daily Missoulian., 1913-12-22
General Purpose

The first two sections of the bill
give it's general purpose. They read
as follows:
Section /, Be it enacted by the SEN
ate and house of representatives of the
United States of America in congress
assembled, that the provisions of the
act of the legislature of the state of
Montana, approved February II, 1911,
ceding to the United States exclusive
jurisdiction over the territory en-
braced within the Glacier national
park, are hereby assumed by the
United States over such territory saw
ing, however, 20 the sad state the
right to serve civil or criminal process
within the limits of the aforesaid park
in suits or prosecution for or on ac-
count of rights acquired, obligations
incurred, or crimes committed in said
state but outside of said park. and
saving further to the said state thy
right to tax persons and corporations
their franchises and property, on the
lands included in said park. All ihe
laws applicable to places under the
sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the
United states shall have force and eff
feet in said park. All fugitives from,
justice taking refuge in said park sha
be subject to the same laws as refu-
gees from justice found in the state
of Montana.
Sec 2. That said park shall consti-
tute a part of the United States judi
cial district of Montana, and the dis
trict court of the United States in anG
for said district shall have jurisdiction
of all offenses committed within sale
boundaries.
Mr.. Evans proposes to prohibit al
hunting of birds and animals or their
capture. He intends that the posses
sion of dead or captured animals shall
be considered in court as prima facie
evidence and that any transportation
company that accepts them shall alsc
be guilty of an offense
The Daily Missoulian., 1913-12-22
Park Commissioner

An important section of the bill is
one that proposes the appointment of
a United States commissioner to live
III the park and to look after the
animals and their human enemies. He
who violates any other park regula-
ton will also find himself before the
commissioner. This officer is to be
appointed by the United States district
court for the district of Montana and
he will work in conjunction with it.
His salary is set in the bill at $1,000
a year.
The other sections of Mr.. Evans bill
propose regulations similar to those
i'll effect in any federal preserve. All
natural curiosities and wonderful OBJ
jects, buildings, guide posts, timber
and mineral land, except that located
before the land was made a park, are
protected by heavy penalties
Fishing is prohibited by any method
except with a hook and line.

sMALLEY INTO BASEBALL.
Young Topekan May Put Team in
Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. I4-Hutchinson
can have basebaIl-a strong club in the
reorganized Kansas State league this
year-if the fans boost.
j. H Smalley of Topeka makes the
oner. He is willing to put in a club that
can whip anything in the league if Salt
city fans agree to support his team.
MI Smalley is a young man who be-
neyes In baseball and he is willing to back
MS belef with money. He came here to
make complete investigation to see just
how many baseball fans there are per
square inch in Hutchinson.
If the baseball Survey is satisfactory,
we get club if not
Mr. Smalley is a friend of R. C. Gafford
OF Minneapolis, president of the Kansas
State league. President Gafford, as well
as Ed Chapman, of the Great Bend club,
Salina and Junction City baseball men,
and others in the league, want Hutchn-
son in the circuit. A club wearing Salt
Packer uniforms would be a great help to
the league.
Mr. Smalley has, can get it whenever
he wants it, the Minneapolis franchise of
the reorganized Kansas State league. He
wishes to bring that club to Hutchinson,
strengthen it with some good new mater
ia1 and a strong playing manager, and
win a pennant for Hutchinson.
Mr.. Smalley is the son of ]. B. Smalley
of Topeka, general manager of the Rock
Islands western lines.

strength. He will have as catchers
Spain, Block, Weaver and Heckinger, a
Observation-Disclosures League recruit, who
comes through the Chicago Cubs. This
indicates there will be some competi-
ton before one or two of the catchers
are weeded out.
AS to the pitching staff, two stand
bys Schneider and Harris, are already
assured as well as Casey Hagerman,
who has signed up. Then there is the
old reliable Kinsella, and Healy, who
has since the close of the past season
been returned by Detroit.
Hendricks and McGill seem to be
very much wrapped up in two young
pitchers signed for tryouts, these being
Moran and Jewell and they also look

year and sent to the Kansas League
for further experience.
Infield Looks Pretty Pat.
1t is rather understood by the fans
locally that the management is also on
the lookout for a young first baseman
who juggles he ball with his left hand.
Old reliable Captain Lindsey, however.
will be back with the other boys, and
it may be impossible for any of the
Youngsters to crowd him out. 1t is al
most certain that French will play sec
on1 with Jack Coffey at short and
CULLEN on third. French and CULLEN
tracts and as these three infielderS
mentioned were about the class of the
league last year, it is probable that
tl-ey will start off the season in their
old positions as regulars. However,
Manager Hendricks has located three
very promising infielders in Matthews,
Nancy and Gill and it is likely one of
these Youngsters will work into util-
ity position if he does not get a regular
berth.
One of the first contracts to be re-
ceived was that of Harry Cassidy, the
well known right fielder of the local
team, who has been wintering with
his people at Bloomington, Ill. II
Cassidy is as good as he has been in
the past, it will be no question about
who will play the sun field Channel
will be back also and if his under
pinning is good, no one else will likely
pIav in the left garden. Hank Butcher
will replace Beal in center, according
to present plans, though the former
Nap is said to be capable of filling an
infield job if needed there.
In addition the management haSl
picked up a promising fielder in Kelly

Pe-ru-na combines these two very
commonly needed remedies. Peru
ma is a tonic. A very efficient one
too. 1t operates at once to increase
the appetite and stimulate digestion
Pe-ru-na is also laxative. 1t sets
the sluggish bowels to work. Instead
of the bowels allowing their contents
to accumulate, decompose and poison
the whole system, the bowels are in
vigorated by Pe-ru-na to do their
work thoroughly.
With a tonic to increase the appe-
tite and digestion, and laxative to
encourage excretion and secretion,
we have a remedy par excellence. A
remedy that the best of us will need
occasionally. A remedy that careless
ones need continually
The laws of Nature are trampled

pie. The appetite becomes dull, di-
gestion disturbed, bowels sluggish
This produces condition of the sys-

ton of Owner McGill, has lined up a
team that should make as good an ac-
