Parcel Post Ruling.

Not content with the record break
ing amount of business done in the
last year because of the parcel post,
the postal officials at Washington
have sent out an order taking effect
the first of the year that the weight
limit on matter mailable for delivery
in the first or second zones shall be
increased from twenty to fifty pounds
an dthe limit on parcels going to the
other six zones from eleven to TWEEN
ty pounds
This is the biggest jump In the
weight limit the government has taxi
en- since the institution of the parcel
post and it is calculated to probably
double or treble the parcel post bust
ness of 1918 in the coming year.
The only remaining drawback to
sending through the mails all COM
modities weighing fifty pounds or less
is the fact the size limit of mailable
parcels has not been increased. Pack
ages greater in size than seventy-two
inches in length and girth combined
can not be accepted for mailing. For
example, fifty pounds OF metal, fairly
small in size, might be sent by parcel
post; but large desk or table
weighing even less than fifty pounds
could not be accepted.

Pardon Is Granted Life Termer.

Pardon Is Granted Lire Termer.
Governor Clarke. on recommends
ton of the board OF parole, issued a
pardon to Frank Bromos, or Bruni,
serving life sentence for murder
at Fort Madison. Bruni will be re-
leased at once and allowed to go to
the home of his brother in Omaha.
Bruni was convicted In Council
Bluffs OF having killed w. o. Cramp-
ton, a fellow railroad laborer. He. en-
tered the penitentiary early in 1910,
at the age OF 10. Since then he has
rapidly lost his health, and according
to the report Of the prison physician,
1t is now but a matter of a few
months until he will have served a
life sentence-unless freedom should
prove a restorative.
Investigations Of the board OF par
ole showed that Bruni had good
record in the town in Italy whence
he came, that he had never been ar
rested before he committed the kill
ing, and that he performed the act
under provocation. With these cir
cumstances in his favor and the fact
that further imprisonment is likely to
prove his death the board decided up
on his release.

Naming the Farms.
Many farmers in Iowa have named
their farms and. taking advantage Of
the state law. had the names record
ed. Aside from the pleasant senti-
mental value that attaches to name
by which to remember the old home
place, there are several real conven-
fences accruing. 1t is much easier
to advertise an event to take place
on farm II the place is well known
by some name. After their farms
are named many farmers have station
cry printed. In this way their let
tiers present business appearance.
