numerous and difficult. Preliminary
work before a rock was placed in the

be constructed and a camp accommo-

EASY Money" In Neckties.
II recall that last year one dealer
bid In a lot of more than nine hun
dred mems neckties of all grades and
descriptions for seventy-flve dollars.
You can easily figure out the profit
he was likely to make on that job lot
of perfectly good neckwear. The same
thing happened with knives.
These under the new Arrangement
were all thrown together In one lot
and sold to one dealer who doubtless
made good money from his purchas,
A popularity OF these knives was that
they were nearly all pearl handled,
some of them very good. which shows
the universal taste in choosing q pen
knife n a Christmas GIFT.

NO" Mr.. Mclean replied. ''Tt has
had the opposite effect. The rule nee
essitating senders to place their names

by Parcel Post has greatly lessencd
their loss. While the number OF
packages transmitted by mail annual
ly runs into millions. the proportion
returned to the Dead Letter once il
