PARCEL POST SERVES FARMERS
Abilene Rural Carriers Handled 35M
Tons of Mail in January

Thirty-five and half tons OF
mail, 71,165 pounds, were handled
by the six rural carriers in the
month of January. The postage re-
quired for carrying of this amount
ed to $625.7S. Outside of the sec
ond class matter, which consists OF
the newspapers, which excelled In
number and pounds, the fourth
class or parcel post packages were
the least In numbers and weighed
the most. The 2402 pieces averaged
IL pounds.
The parcel postage both local and
foreign amounted to $111-66. One
significant fact shown in these sta
tistics as compiled at the local post
office is that the parcel post is used
chiefly as a means OF serving the
farmers, both locally and otherwise.
The amount OF postage for this class
of mail delivered was $3.50 and
collected only $16.50. Locally this
was also true, for the parcel postage
delivered totaled $685. and collect
ed, $1.71.

HELPING the Starving Birds

birds even before the federal Off
Gals at Washington sent out the
appeals to the postoffices over the
state for aid. On route six the car
rier has been given ksfir corn and
other small grain by the patrons
and this he distributed along the
hedges and haunts of the quail. The
Ice is impenetratble TO the small
beaks and thousands Of the birds
are reported dying from starvation
Dver the state. The quail is the
only bird that eats and relishes the

THAW, ICE AND FROZEN PIPES
CAUSE MUCH WORK AND GRIEF

Pans, kettles and tubs were scat
tered promiscuously about in nearly
every business house and store in
town today to catch the water that
was leaking through the roofs. All
spouts were filled with ice and the
tin roofs and ice made a combina-
ton that was hard to beat for let
ting water through on the merchan-
disc and stock below. Men with
shovels were on a greater portion
of the buildings in the business dis
'trict and it Was with danger that a
person ventured along the sidewalks
with the snow and ice being thrown
off the roofs.

County Commissioners Gave Dele
cation No encouragement

The residents of Center township
are again asking the county to build
a bridge across the Smoky Hill riv-
er east of Detroit, in the vicinity OF
the old Packard estate. Farmers in
that vicinity are compelled to drive
three and four miles south and then
back again to get to Abilene or De-
troit or any place north across the
river north and west Six of them
who came before the county COM
missioners this week asking for a
structure at the point where the
river crosses the north line of sec
ton IA were given no encourage
ment. They were told. however, that
the next river bridge the county
built would be built there. In this
place two and a half miles of road
would have to be opened as the
nearest road is three quarters of
mile away.
Another faction Of farmers want
the bridge on the east line of sec
ton 2. Only three-quarters of a
mile of road would have to be open
ed here. There is some opposition
to opening roads for either propos-
ed bridge, but If the county would
build the structure the necessary
rxl.w III IA
be forthcoming. With the bridge
farmers who are not served by the
rural routes would be benefited.
The bridge at the first place men
toned would be seven miles by river
below the Enterprise bridge and
three miles directly east of Detroit
and five miles northeast of Enter
prise.
