IF YOU WANT A PARCEL POST
 ZONE HELP POSTMASTER ROOT

Seward citizens interested in secur- ing a parcel post zone are asked to turn in their data to Postmaster Root as soon as possible, in order that he may inform the authorities as to the weights, classes of merchandise, mile age, etc., before the time expires.
 Seward pays as much to have one pound of merchandise sent to Roose- welt, six miles out, as it does to send the same matter to New York. The cost for mailing parcels the first fifty miles in the States is very low. We should have the same advantages.
 Be sure and turn in your data be- fore the end of the week.

PETERSBURG WINS N
 SUIT OVER BONDING

JUNEAU, Sept. 24.-Judge Reed Saturday decided for the city in the case wherein it was made defendant in an injunction suit to prevent the sale of bonds for the purpose of in stalling a $1OO,0OO lighting plant. In his decision Judge Reed ruled that the Town of Petersburg is within it's rights in providing for the issuance, sale, maturity and redemption of mu- nicipal electric light and power bonds citing Chapter 50, Session Laws 1919, and Sec. 16, Chapter 97, s. L. 1923, in this connection.
 The Court set aside the contention that the sale of the bonds would put upon Petersburg an indebtedness in excess of that authorized by general law, or would necessitate 1evying any tax in excess of the two per cent maximum fixed by the organic act.

Gets Chairs Made of
Tree Planted by Queen

bingham, Mass.-Wood from an oak
tree planted by Queen Elizabeth went
into the making of three chairs which
have been shipped from bingham, Nor
folk, England, to this town. They are
the gift of Harry G. lofts, builder in
the English bingham, to the Bay state
township which was founded by men
from the Norfolk town in the Seven
teenth century.
Sixteen years ago the top Of the tree
planted by the great queen in Kimber-
~ park died and it became necessary
to fell it. Mr.. lofts bought the timber
and made the chairs, which were de-
signed by Hugh Mottram after model
Of chair in the period when the Hing
ham men emigrated to America. Mr..
lofts stipulated that one Of them
should be used by the chairman of the
board of selectmen, one placed in the
first parish meeting house, erected in
1881, and the third to go to the minis
ter of the First Parish church in per-
petuity.

BUFFALO AGAIN TO LIVE
WHERE FIRST DISCOVERED
White Men First Viewed Animals
in Mexico 400 Years AGO.

Washington.-The recent gift Of
three buffalo to the government of
Mexico recalls the discovery and early
history of these big game animals.
The gift will be sent from the herd
maintained by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture on the Wich-
tia game preserve, Oklahoma, to the
geological park in the City of Mexico,
almost on the very spot where the
buffalo was first discovered by Euro
peanS.
The biological survey points out
that 400 years ago, when Cortez en-
tered Montezuma's capital, on the
present site of the City of Mexico,
white men had their first view of buff
falo, a herd of which was maintained
in the menagerie of the emperor. This
was in 1921, when buffalo roamed in
millions over the tablelands of north
ern Mexico and the great plains OF
the present western United States.
An early writer, Antonio de Soils.
who first described MOntezuma's
menagerie, declared that the greatest
rarity in the collection was the Mex
lean BULL" which had crooked Shout
ders, a bunch on it's back like the
camel, and it's neck covered with hair
like the lion. 1t was in these terms
that he characterized the American
buffalo or bison.
AS a manifestation of goodwill to-
ward our southern neighbor, a gift Of
three buffalo was rendered the Mex
lean government by the United States
Department Of Agriculture and the
New York Geological society.

Wonderful Feat of
Surgery in France

Paris.-Two cases of what has been
considered hitherto an incurable dis
ease were presented lately to the. So
ciety of Neurology of Paris. Tumors
pressing on the spinal marrow have
always proved fatal owing to the diff
ficulty of diagnosing them and Of To-
eating them. Professor Sicard has
introduced a method Of injecting 10
died oil into the bony canal formed
by the vertebrate Of the spine which
enables an X-ray to be taken, showing
where the iodine has been deposited,
and where the deposit has been inter-
rupted by the tumor. The exact spot
for operating Is thus seen.
The application of this method is
described as delicate but not ex-
tremely difficult, nor beyond the
power Of any good surgeon.

ISIT ANY USE TO CONTEND
FOR RIGHTS?

Colored Americans are the only
race, responsible members of which
are in favor of submitting to dis
elimination on the claim that their
race Railways will be Disseminated
against" The Jews are still con-
tending. after over 1900 years of uni
versal discrimination, and are win
ming even social rights today. The
Irish at home have contended for
700 years and are winning because
they will die rather than submit.
The race that says it's of no use to
resist, downs itself and the world
then will say, "Colored people are not
worthy of equal rights; they are by
nature without self-respect and have
no grit" The world respects only
those who resent and resist proscrip-
tions for race.
Let us be worthy of the abolition
lists, worthy of our own fathers who
have died in every war to vindicate
the title of their race to equal liberty,
and forever resist denial of rights
in our native land, however long race
discrimination may continue. To
submit is to deserve contempt -Bos-
ton Guardian. y

Early returns showed that the state

cially strong. The Newark branch,
N. A. A. C. P, reports that 5000
signatures have been obtained thus
far, with prospect of obtaining be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in all. The
New Jersey Federation of Colored
Women's clubs has already reported
about 600 signatures and is vigor-
ously continuing it's efforts. In the
Harlem section of New York city
more than 5000 signatures have been
secured. Blank petitions with space
for $4,000 signatures have been dis
tributed and it is expected that at
least $4,000 signers will be secured.
In announcing the overwhelming
interest shown in the imprisoned SOL

ment asking that petitions when
filled Out be sent in Immediately.

considerably ahead of the 100000
goal we had set ourselves. Anyone
can easily realize that handling,
classifying and tabulating 100000
signatures is an immense job. It
will keep our clerical force very
busy. To tighten their labor and to
enable us to get the petitions in
