These stamps will be larger than the ; ordinary postage stamps and so dis- tinctive as to prevent possible confu- sion with other stamps. The twelve stamps will be issued In three series of designs. In the first series modern methods of transporting mail will be illustrated. The mail car of a railway train will be shown on one stamp, an ocean eteamer on an- other; the third will have a motor wagon of the type used in the postal service, and the fourth will Mem a mill carrying aeroplune. Postal em- ployees AVIII be shown at work in the second series. The figures will be those of railway mall clerks, postoffice clerks, city letter carriers and rural free delivery carriers. The third se- ries will represent four Industrial zones, showing the principal sources of products that will be transported most extensively by parcels post. By Dec. 1 the stamps will probably be ready for distribution to the 60,000 postoffices in the country. Special maps with zone circles mark- ed off In red, for use of postmasters in determining retes on parcel. post packages, are based on a so called \flawless\ map of the United States coast and geodetic survey. The ne- cessity of obtaining a perfect map is to prevent error in computing postage as such would make a considerable difference In the rate from any given point. The aim Is to got maps in the hands of the postinnsters as rourh In advance of Jan. 1 next, when the law becomes effective. as possible, to give them time for study.

How good It is to have friends: Do you realize the local merchant is your friend it is lie who tries to make your life easier by contracting for goods which he takes a chance ou your buying from him. Ile invests his com- paratively small capital in things that you need, you use, always with an eye for filling your wants. If he handles perishable goods it is his lose if they become uneatable. He must worry and (eke the responsibility for the running of his business. And what is it all for: The local merchant, as a rule, If lie is adjudged a success, takes no more profit than the success- ful man working for a salary. Yet be is forced to be always agreeable to his customers whether he feels In the hu- mor or not and must shoulder the full weight of the cares of his business. Take the head of a large mail order concern. Ile also is filled 'with the cares of business. But Ms mind works along different channels from those of the local merchant. Flue words and al- luring paragraphs sent to your home In expensive circulars (for which you pay) are his specialty. He may get up in the morning with a grouch and his III temper stay with him all day. Ile doesn't have to sup- press his feelings before his custom- ers because his customers never come In contact with him. He has huntiteds of clerks under him who are formed Into various departments. If you have received something front his concern of which you have some complaint to offer, you write to the office and a subordinate replies, usunily with a stereotyped excuse signed by one of the managers. If this answer is un- satisfactory you write again and again. perhaps, before you get anywhere near a satisfactory rectification of your complaint. ' In just this respect Is where the lo- cal merchant proves his value. If by chance an occdsion arises in which he has not given you entire satisfaction ; the local merchant is always there to receive you and makes things right. ! He has to And he does it at once. , You see the proprietor in this case. anti HE is responsible to you, not some clerk a hundred or a thousand miles . away whom you never saw or con - ! versed with. It Is to your advantage. Mr. Cus- tomer, to trade at home. Leave your i money with -the man who is working to please you and who has east his lot with your community. Don't die- • courage an optimist All local mer- chants are optimist, when they start In business, and it is up to the pur- chasing public to help Increase that optimism. Optimism cannot prevail In any town whose people send money to the grasping mail order houses while the local merchant right at one's very door. continually catering to the wants of townspeoplehis fellow buy stocking his store with necessary sup- plies, Is left to fail for want of patron- age. TO KILL FRUIT TREE ILLS. Only Way to Control San Jose Scale and Other Pests is Treatment With insecticides. Ninny men have picked qualities of I mes' fruit from trees that a few years before seemed hopelessly taken by ' sepie and other pests. Controlling San Jose scale is a decidedly easy propo- sttion when compared to some orchard mete. Aceidentally, the lime sulphur smitten was found to be an effective remedy. It is today the leading rem - iv for controlling the scale, says the A :nerican Agriculturist. All spraying for the control of the San Jose settle must be done while the trees are dormant -that is, after the :eaves droll in the fill and before they appear in the spring. As a rule, the conditions for spraying in the fall are more ideal than in the early spring, as there are more calm, warm days at that time. Then, too, if one fails to cover all the tree the first time he will have opportunity to go over the tree again in the spring, which could not be done if the first spraying came in ; the spring. In all cases where scale is ; serious a thorough application should , be given in the fall. The results of spraying depend upon the thorough- ness of the application. Every twig on • ; every tree must he coated with the • mixture if best results are to be had. ! A single live scale left on a twig may ; infest the whole tree in one season, hence the importance of thoroughness In the work. Fall spraying will be very beneficial to the orchard in other ways as well as by getting the scale under control. Nothing is known that will be more effective in the way of cleaning tip trees than the application of these chemicals. They will cause the re - 'naval of the old dead bark and the Improvement of the general appear- ance of the tree. It Is difficult for one to believe that by simply spraying cer- tain chemicals on a tree such changes will result. The only way Is to try them on your own trees. Then, too, fall spraying is a great help in clean - in fungous diseases. There are large numbers of disease spores being scattered about the -orchard all through the fall and winter, and it is impossi- ble to determine how mei) benefit will result from fall spraying if these spores are destroyed. Treatment For Scaly Leg. The repulsive looking scaly legs In chickens can be improved in appear- ance a whole lot by rubbing them at intervals of a few days with n salve made of equal parts of lard, sulphur and kerosene. Fall Tree Planting. If you intend to plant a feti choice trees next spring dig large holes for them in fall, fill them with manure, removing the next spring, and filling it up to the desired depth of the tree. _ The Sunday School Lesson SENIOR BEREAN, INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

ON ERTON HAT there have been great cli- matic changes in different parts of the earth is well known. lint. though geologists can tell us that they hnve occurred. they do not tell tie why. Seine of hem have possibly come to pass since mut attnineti sufficient iutelligenee to hand down from generation to genera- tion traditions coucerning their origin. These traditions, arising when the hit- mau fancy was untrammeled by fact and when rude people spoke by natural symbols. are often very poetic. here is one current among the Eskimos of Greenland accounting for a change they believe long ago took place de- priving them of perpetual sunshine and substituting the dreary arctic night: \Time was - when the sun. white) now hides himself beyond the southern ocean for many months in winter, cir- clet' always above the northern hori- zon. As it is now night for many months, it was then always day, for at midnight the sun still stood above the horizon. Then our mantle. Instead of the white one it now is, was a per- petual green. Our people lived on luscious fruits that grew without cul- ture and bathed in the tepid waves that danced lightly on the strand.
