 Present plans of the U. S. Post office call for following the pres ent design on the new regular se- ries through the 9-cent value. From the 10-cent to the 19-cent the design will be varied only by the addition of a thin border. From the 2O-cent to the 50-cent, inclusive, the same design will be used with a double border around each stamp. The $1, $2 and $5 denominations may be printed in bi-color or with a scroll work border. These three will very likely be printed by the fiatbed process.

An exclamation from Kelly stopped him.

 Even as she spoke Kelly real ized that this attempt to trick the Weasel was weak. Her brain had been flirting with the idea of get ting out of the car somehow and escaping into the surrounding darkness. But she doubted if even such as MT. Wcynowski would fall for this thin ruSe.
 She was right. The Weasel made gesture of annoyance. All this fubdub was getting on his nerves.
 You ain't gittin' outa dis car to catch no chickens" he grum- bled. Start her up, you Joe fella, an make it snappy. An as fer you, you thick-headed Dago, beat it."
 Obediently Joe kicked the starter. The Ford coughed. ole backed it carefully away from the telegraph pole.

Migratory Birds Change Their Habits
When They Take Up Quarters in South

eminent, after exhaustive investiga-
ton, has found it necessary to allow
rice growers to kill the birds by the
thousands. In the South they dis
play nomadic habits. They make
daily trips to the rice fields, feeding
on the shocked grain in focks of
many thousands and return to their
marsh homes to roost at night.
Here is one illustration of the de-
structiveness of the red-wing in the
South. One rice farmer with 230
acres of stacked sheaves used $500
shot gun shells costing $135, in keep
ing the birds out of his fields. This
expense, with labor involved in pa
trolling, was necessary to protect a
crop of 1900 sacks of rice. Judging
by experience this farmer estimated
that his crop would not have ex-
ceeded 1000 sacks if the birds had
not been controlled and driven from
the fields. He estimated his total
expense at $3.50 for control work,
but was able to save rice worth more
than $1,000.
Similar experiences are recorded
among other rice growers and they
were able to convince the govern
ment that control measures were
necessary if they were to remain in
business.

Nation Celebrates
25Oth Anniversary
Swedenborg's Birth

AMAZING as it seems that one
"A mind could encompass so many
varied realms Of knowledge, never
theless 1t is true that Emanuel
Swedenborg, the 250th anniversary
of whose birth is being celebrated
this year, made important contribu-
tons in many fields of science, theo-
retical and practical, in statesman
ship, philosophy, and religion.
In 1716-171S he published the first
scientific periodical in Sweden, con-
tanning records Of his mechanical
inventions and mathematical dis
coveries, which included the first
airplane design to have fixed wings
ard moving propeller, the first air
pump to employ mercury. and the
description of method for determin-
ing latitude and longitude at sea by
observations of the moon among the
stars. In the Principal" work on
physics and cosmology, he arrived
at the nebular hypothesis theory be-
fore Kant and Laplace. He was $50
years ahead of any other scientist
in his works on the functions Of the
brain and spinal cord, and on the
functions of the ductless glands.
Swedenborg served as an active
member of the parliament Of his
country for more than fifty years,
introducing fiscal reforms and much
general legislation. 1" t#Et
At the age of fifty-five Emanuel
Swedenborg discontinued his scien-
tific pursuits and began his work as
theologian, publishing the "Arcana
Coelestia, Apocalypse Explained;
"Heaven and He'll; -Four Doc
trines"; 'Divine Love and Wisdom;
Divine Providence; Apocalypse
