PARCELS POST
PACKAGES MAY
BE HEAVIER
GOVERNMENT HELPING FARMERS
TO SEND PRODUCTS TO
NEAREST MARKETS
LIMIT SEVENTY POUNDS
FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD ZONE
WEIGHTS INCREASED BY
TWENTY POUNDS

WASHINGTON = AS means of
stimulating the movement Of farm
products from the producer direct
to the consumer, Postmaster General
Burleson has increased the allowa-
BILE weight of parcels post packages
effective March Is.
Packages when mailed in the first
zone for delivery in the first, second
or third zones, may be as heavy as
70 pounds They are now restricted
to so pounds.
The weight limit for all other zones
has been increased from 20 to so
pounds.
This is planned to help the farmers
to reach the markets with their prod
ucts and save the "middlemen's" prof
it. A farmer can send a package
weighing 70 pounds to any postoffice
within 300 miles of his farm and a
package of so pounds to any place in
the United States. The same rates
and weights apply to every one, but
the change was made principally to
help the farmers to reach distant mar
kets with their products.

FEARS I.W.W.
PLANNING To
MAKE TROUBLE
VETERAN OFFICERS PREDICTS
EXTENSIVE STRIKE IN LUM-
BER CAMPS
MEN BEING ORGANIZED
ORGANIZATION BEING DONE VERY
QUIETLY BUT EFFECTIVELY,
HE SAYS

"I look for more trouble and more
real dirty work from the I. w. w
this year than we have ever had" said
Pat Malone the veteran deputy sher-
iff of Bovil1, who has spent SO many
years among the lumber jacks in
the timber that he knows them well
and understands the meaning of the
work that is being SO quietly carried
on. Mr.. Malone was in Moscow last
night and gave The Star-Mirror
sstip" on the outlook for trouble with
the I. w w. He said:
'The work of organizing is being
done very quietly. Men who have
good appearance and never excite sus-
picion are seeking employment in the
camps and quietly organizing the men.
They hold no public meetings and
there is no loud talk. Everything is
done on the quiet. These men are
called easy slips and are experts in
their line. They organize right un-
der the noses of their employers with
out being suspected, and when all the
camps are organized the big strike
will be pulled Off Ihave been watch
ing the developments very closely and
I feel sure the l. w. w. is planning
for the most persistent and dirtiest
campaign ever conducted in Latah
county and that it will start within
the next two or three months.
Mr.. Malone has been deputy sheriff
at Bovill for many years. He is
working among the toughest element
to be found in the woods and his work
has always been, efficient. He knows
logging and lunbering as. few men
know these things and he is able to
detect an organizer or agitator at a
glance and he says the woods are full
of them now and that every camp in
Latah county is being organized for
a big strike which 1t is planned will
effectually tie up the lumber indus
try.
During the past. two years Mr.. Ma
lone has been keeping an eye on the
element that foments trouble and ma
king study of conditions in the lum-
ber camps and his warning should be
needed and immediate steps taken to
prevent the step that he fears is be-
ing planned. Mr. Malone is delighted
with the work that has been done In
Moscow in the way of forming pro-
tective association and organizing a
company of national guards and be-
lives these two organizations will do
much to hold the I. w. W. in check.

THE EAST AMI THE WEST

When the East wakes up TO
the war situation as the West
has and gets into the harness
as New Mexico has been every
since the first call upon her, il
is not going to be so hard as
many Of us imagine. There Is
always going to be plenty for us
TO do, but the Western States
have done more by far according
TO their resources, than have
the eastern states.
We have in mind a certain
county in the state Of Virginia.
Never has this county gone over
the top in a Liberty Loan cam
paign. or Red Cross drive. Thu
population of this county is more
than three times the population
Of Luna county. There are five
towns in the county that each
have a larger population that
Columbus. In each Of these
towns there is one or more
banks with total resources far
in excess Of the resources of the
Columbus State Bank.
The quota asked for from this
county in the last Rcd Cross
drive was $1,000. This wac APP
portioncd out TO the towns In
5000 lots, with a large country
territory 10 draw from. The
strangest part Of il Is that the
quota was not raised. Some Of
the towns went 10 the top and
others did not.
The Liberty Loans have been
handled in about the same way
never reaching the top. Should
the quota Of this county be a
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1918-07-12

similar amount as the quotas
given that county there would
be no campaign.
One Of the reasons that they
have kept down the assessments
is that in valuing property for
the purposes of taxation IL Is
assessed at about one third of its
actual value. The writer has
known of instances where an
animal-say a horse-had just
been purchased .for a large price.
\ horse is generally rated at $50
on the property books. No mat
ter Il that horse had cost him
$3.50 Il went down at 500.
Another reason Is that the
county has never subscribed
for only a small amount Of bonds
and the quota has been reduced
every time and the burden placed
on districts that would go over.
Columbus has bought more
bonds and given more to the Red
Cross than has this entire Vir-
ginia county. Columbus will do
just as much as she can in the
future and will never balk. let
the rest of the country do as
much according their resources
and there will be no shortage of
funds in financing the war.

large number Of women. The
marking Of shells 10 designate
size, load, and range will require
100000 operations each day.
The plant has a total area Of
approximately $500 acres. More
than 100 buildings with an ag-
gregate floor space of 100000
square feet. will provide storage
for shells and parts and for ma
terial. A small city, with heat
ing and lighting plants. water
and sewage systems, hospitals,
hre-fghting plants. and restaJr-
ants, was built to house the en-
ployes. There Is equipment to
protect the health Of those who
work with poisonous gases. and
a school FOR instruction in the
leading Of artillery ammunition
with high explosives.
The operating plan consists Of
10 shell-loading units, each in
dependent of the other, with
equipment for loading IL sizes
of shells, ranging FROM the rc-
Gently developed 37-millimetcr
to l6 inches. Or two sizes Of
shells the propelling charge also
will be loaded, the shell and car
fridge ease being assembled at
the plant. Al other shells are
assembled in France.
In the construction Of the
shell-loading units the problem
was far greater than one Of mere
building. Immense fans have
been installed to dispose of the
poisonous fumes from the high
explosives. When a unit is in
operation the air in the loading
room Is changed every few min
utes. Specially designed suits
win be worn during work with
the explosives.
