M.in f ound in River; May Move Bren Murdered
The body of Jim Bell, sixty years
old. an employee at lock No. 6. was
taken from the Ouachita river this
morning near Refugio plantation.
There seems to be a doubt as to
whether he was drowned accident
ally or whether his death was the
result of foul pay. Bell's head was
badly bruised and he showed other
marks of violence. Bell had been
before the local courts on severs,
occasions for minor offenses that
vere the resultof an overindulgenc
m liquor and it has been only a short
time since he was released from
the city street gang. Nothing is
known about Bell's history or where
he came from. Monroe Newts-Sta,

Panels Si amps Designed,
Arrangements -have been madr
by Postmaster General Hitchcock
for engraving and manufacturing
a series of 12 stamps, unique in
size and novel in design for exclus
ive use in forwa-ding packages b\
the new parcel post. Under th<
law recently enacted by congress.
ordinary stamps cannot be used for
this purpose.
The special parcel post stamps
will be larger than the ordinary
stamps and will be so destinctive in
color and design as to evert confus
ion with stamps now in use.
The new issue will be in three
series of designs. The first will
illustrate modern methods of trans
porting mail, one stamp shewing;
the mail car on a railway train: an
other an ocean mail steamship: a
third a motor car now used in the :
postal service and a fourth the dis
patch of mail by aeroplane.
The second series will show at
work in their several environments
the four great classes of postal em
ployees postofRne clerks, railway !
mail clerks, city letter carriers and
rural delivery carriers.
The third series will represent
four industrial scenes showing the
principal sources of products that
probably will be transported exten
sively by parcel post.
The stamps will be ready for dis
tribution December 1. in order that
the 60,000 postofTic.es may b< sup
plied with them before the law be- i
comes effective January 1.
