The Senate Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads has revived the movement to
strip the Postmaster General and the Inter-
State Commerce Commission Of power to
extend the parcel post service. Represen-
tative David j. Lewis. of Maryland, the
father of the parcel post. said the move
ment. if successful. virtually means the
death of parcel post"
The Senate Committee on Postoffices ap-
proved an amendment to the Parcel Post
act. which provides that no further extern
sion in the service shall be made unless
authorized by Congress In other words.
the Senate committee amendment ties the
Postmaster-Genera hands and vests in
Congress the power to change rates. to in
crease weight limits. reform the zone lines
and to make other extensions when the
service justifes them.
Under the Parcel Post act, as 1t now
stands, the Postmaster General can lower
the rates. increase the weight limits and
make other changes when such changes
are approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The amendment, Gripping
the parcel post, will be tackled on to the
Postoffice Appropriation bill.
Acting under the power vested in him
by Congress, Postmaster General Burleson.
with the approval Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. has raised the weight
limit from II to SO pounds in the first two
zones, has shaved down the high Bristow
rates placed in the original bill and has
made other extensions which have virtually
created Government express service.
When advised Of this movement Repre-
sentative Lewis was annoyed. He declared
that he would prefer to see the whole Par
eel Post act repealed than to see Congress
kill the provision in the act authorizing
the Postmaster-Generalt to extend the SER
vice when the extensions are approved by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
THE repeal of this part Of the Parcel
Post act destroys its power to compete
with the express companies and virtually
means death to the parcel post" said Mr..
Lewis. ut will enable the express COM
panies. IL the movement succeeds. to cap
ture all the profitable traffic and confine
the parcel post to the rural routes. We
have now surplus Of $i0.000,000 The
repeal Of the Parcel Post law would con-
vert this surplus into heavy deficit. Il
would be better, in my judgment. to repeal
the whole Parcel Post law than to do what
has been proposed.
Under the present law the Postmaster
General can make no changes unless they
are approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The railroads and the ex-
press companies have the power to change
their rates when they are approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. BY all
means the Postmaster General should have
the same power to change the rates and
make improvements in the Governments
retail package transportation system when
approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
In England and other European parcel
post countries the Postmaster-Gener has
the power to make changes in the parcel
post service when the service justifes them.
II our parcel post is to be made real ser

the variety best adapted to your needs,

ent classes before making your selec-

The question Is often asked: What
variety Of chickens is the best or most
profitable?" The answer depends, to
certain degree, upon the object in
view. No sane person would think
of keeping Leghorns or Hamburgs for
market purposes. Nor would Brah-
mas or Cochins be chosen as egg
producers.
For eggs alone. keep Leghorns,
Hamburgs. Spanish. Minorcas or one
of the other egg-producing non-setting
Varieties For market purposes choose
the Plymouth Rock, Brahma or Wyan-
dotte If the idea is TO keep chickens
for both purposes, then select from
the so-called general or dual purpose
class.

MAKING PROFIT IN GUlNEAS
Fowls Delight In Dry, Warm Weather
With Plenty OF Bugs to Balance
Up Their Ration.

No doubt number OF persons will
have their first experience at guinea
raising this summer and naturally they
will think that in order to succeed the
young guineas should be Matched early
in the season. This Is a mistake as
the guinea delights in warm, dry
weather and plenty Of bugs and grass
hoppers to balance up its ration.
The best season for raising young
guineas is from the middle of June un-
til first Of August, says writer in
Farmers Review. Guineas Matched as
late as the first of August stand a
good chance to get to a marketable
size by Christmas.
If the guineas are Matched under
chicken hens they should be kept in
confinement for few days until they
learn the call Of their adopted mother
else they may stray away. Then they
should be given free range, but taught
to come to the shelter at roosting

Do not imagine that you should give
mp everything else in order TO engage
in poultry-keeping.
1t is almost best to keep chickens
or other poultry as 'side-line" at
first, or, in other words, hav9 some
other source of income upon which to
depend until you are well established
in the poultry business.
Even then you may find 1t to your
advantage to devote a part of your
time to other pursuits. such as bee
keeping. gardening or the growing
OF small fruits.
Some strawberry growers keep
chickens, and others keep Indian Run
ner ducks to devour the insects which
would otherwise injure the crop.
Needless to add, the fowls viii de-
your the fruit as well as the insects,
II allowed free range when-the fruit
is ripening. A number OF yards en-
closed with poultry netting win be
found convenient at such times, as
well as when eggs are wanted for the
Matching purposes.
Don't attempt too much at first.
Have a well defined object in view;
