Post Office Gives Early Warning Of Mail Regulations

Because of the prosperous times and the abnormal salaries being paid to workingmen of today, preparations are being made at the local post of- flee for the handling of the large amount of Christmas mail, packages and other postal matter. People will be more generous with presents this year than in the preceding years, it is believed, and also it must be borne in mind that many of the young men from this city are in service in for eign lands which will necessitate the sending of presents through the mail.
 In preparation for this flow of post age matter which is to go through the local office it would be we'll for the sender to comply with the sug- gestions which are stated in this arti- cle. If instructions are followed in- convenience to all parties will be off, set to a great extent. Preference will be given to articles that are prop erly wrapped and prepared. The fol- lowing advice is issued by the post of11ce department:
 Ut is necessary that all parcels be heavily wrapped. This precaution be- ing taken due to the tremendous weight and pressure which the par cells must be subject to under other postage matter en route. Poisons and

 ''These postage rates apply only to mail that is to be transmitted to the boys in the American expeditionary forces, but the suggestions apply to all mail matter neither dom estic or foreign.
 Notice has been received that sol diers and other enlisted men at Cam D Devens, Aver, Mass, and other mili- tary encampments throughout the country have received packages which contained perishable articles which have been sent to them in deplorable condition, in some cases the condition being such that the parcel was re- ceived practically without paper. Therefore more care should be exer- cised in wrapping and tying packages that contain perishable articles. Heavy paper should be applied and strong string should be used in tying.
 Special notice should be given to the following: Every parcel must be wrapped and packed as to admit of easy inspection by the postmaster. No narce1 will be despatched which has not the certificate of the postmaster that it contains no prohibited arti- c1es'"

intoxicants vii be prohibited as will also be inflammable materials, such as parlor matches and other friction able goods. Compositions liable to kill or injure or in any manner dam age mail matter will also be strictly prohibited.
 "A package weighing 20 pounds or a fraction over may be dispatched at the rate of 12 cents per pound. In connection with the weight people are
 urged to make packages as small as possible, it being well if 10 pounds should not be exceeded. Acceptance of the request will mean that a greater number of people can be &C., commodated, preference being also given to packages of lighter weight Parcels of printed books weighing less than eight ounces may be sent at the minimum rate of one cent for two ounces or a fraction more. All parcels of this origin in excess of eight ounces will go at the original rate of 12 cents. Perishable matter will not be accepted unless it is made ab- solutely certain that it will not spoil in six weeks. Such delicacies as cakes, plum pudding, etc., should be securely put up in tin containers.
 Tt has been found at different times that people are trying to avoid buying postage stamps by placing Red Cross stamps on letters and parcels. Any mail received without proper stamping conditions will be classed as unmailable, also parcels must not be sealed and nothing but the stamp and address must be put on the front of the letter or packape
 "The sender must write his name and address in the upper left hand corner of the letter on the front. No other inscriptions are to be allowed on the front. Such inscriptions as With Best Wishes "Please Do Not Open Until Christmas" Happy New

SUPPER AND SALE
Is Big SUCCESS
Ladies Realize More than $500
and Are Unable to Handle
the Crowds

The Red Cross Christmas store an,
cafeteria supper given yesterday b.
the ladies Of the Red Cross was fal
greater success than anybody had ex
pected. The ladies took in $215, more
than 500 Of which was realized from
the supper alone, and the receipts
would have been more had there been
room enough to serve all who came.
Many of the country folk who came
into town were unable to get into the
building and as a result took their
evening meal at the restaurants.
One of the fine features of the day
was the fine spirit shown by many peo-
pie of German birth or parentage who
have heretofore not been active in Red
Cross work. There were no slackers.
Everybody worked and worked will
ngly. <..
So successful was the supper fea.
;ure that plans are now being worked
tut by the ladies to give a similar
supper once each month during the
winter and early spring.

STATES APPEAL is DISMISSED


On motion Of Acknowledgement S
c. Ford, the supreme court of Mon
tana has dismissed the states appea
in the case of State VS.. Bulen. il
which Christian Science practitione,
was accused Of "practicing medicine

This action was begun nearly four

OF this state defines the practice of
medicine as follows: "Any person shall
DC regarded as practicing within the
meaning OF this act who shall re-
commend, prescribe or direct for the
use OF any person, any drug, medicine,
appliance, apparatus or other agency,
whether material or not material, for
the cure, relief, or palliation of any
ailment or disease Of the mind or
body, after having received or with
intent therefore, either directly or in
directly, any bonus, gift or compensa-
ton"
The defendant was accused Of vio-
lating this statute in that she did, for |
compensation, recommend, prescribe
md direct, for the use Of one Albert
Charles Bartholomew a certain agen-
y, to-wit: system Of mental treat
nent commonly known as Christian
Science, for the cure, relief and pallia-
ion of certain ailment and disease,
o-wit, peritonitis. y The defendant de-
hurried to this complaint on the
round that the facts stated do not
institutes a public offense. The dis
riot court sustained this demurrer, but
ne encouragement then in Office ap-
called to the supreme court. The
ismissal, which has Just been granted
n motion Of the present attorney-gen- II
ral, finally disposes of the case. II

FARMERS FAVOR WAR PROGRAM
Ro3eson Farmers Union Passes Pa
triotlc Resolution Commmlttee
Appointed to Visit Locais-NeAt
Meeting in Lumberton

While in session yesterday the
Robson division of the Farmers
union passed a resolution endorsing
the war program of President Wilson
and the administration. A standing
vote was taken and every farmer
present except one voted in favor OF
the resolution. That one did
not vote against it. A number OF

farmers of Robeson as whole are
behind the President.

teresting meeting Of the year. Prof.
R. E. Sentelle Of Lumberton and Mr.:
w. P. Barker, county president OF

soWn Broadcast alone or with othar
crops like small grains and crimson
clover. In sowing with small grains
the rye, oats, or wheat seed should
first be drilled in or sown broadcast
and covered an inch deep and then
the rape seed sOWn broadcast and
lightly covered by means of a light
smoothing harrow or brush. Where
the rape is used alone, or 5 pounds
OF seed per acre will be sufficient.
good seeding, when sown with oats
would be 1 " bushels of Red Rust
Proof or Appler oats with about to
3 pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed
Rye at the rate of pecks or wheat
at the rate of 4 pecks per acre may
be substituted for the oats if found
desirable to make the substitution
Another mixture that has been found
to give good results in supplying pas
turage for hogs consists of a seeding
made up of 2 to pecks of rye, to
8 pounds of crimson clover, and 2
pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed. This
latter mixture has proven particularly
valuable for the mountain section for
elevation less than $500 feet above
sealevel. Usually with rape alone or
seeded in the mixtures indicated above
the grazing may be started usually
within thirty to sixty days after seed
ing. Frequently during a Favorable
season the rape may be lightly grazed
by pigs three to four weeks after seed
ing.
Precautions in Grazing.
In pasturing rape the hogs should
not be allowed on it until the plants
are at least 10 to II inches high, for
if pastured before this time the young
plants will be likely to be pulled up
and killed. Care should be exercised,
too, that the number of hogs on the
pasture is not so large as to keep tho
rape too closely grazed, for such would
prove fatal to the plants and the life
OF the pasture would thereby be ma
terially shortened. After being grazed.
the plants should be given an oppor-
tunity to get well started into growth
before being grazed again. By divid-
ing the field into lots these may be
pastured in succession If sown on
good land and properly handled one
acre of rape will provide grazing for
ten or twelve hogs for something like
two or three months or more.
