The first letter boxes were set up in New York and Boston streets in 1858. Nearly half of the world's land area is largely uninhabitable because of deserts, mountains, ice or tundra. The Romans considered salt sacred article of food,and never placed any other dish on the table before it. Marines are called leatherneck because in the early days of the organization a leather stock was part of the uniform. In the Fiji Islands,the human head is considered sacred,and it is an insult to reach above the head of another person. Australia harvests about 13,000,000 acres of wheatland each year for an average yield of some 150,000,000 bushels.

He asked for volunteers to help in this endeavor and invited everyone interested to meet next Monday at the city hall to formulate plans for getting people to the polls on election day. All interested parties are invited. Paul Grand, chairman of the day, introduced Wesley H. Dickinson, member of the Long Beach Zoological Society and connected with the Grace Wiley Snake Zoo in Cypress, who proceeded to stampede the club with some rare specimens of the reptile world who still retained their poison fangs. He told of the grand pets that snakes made and said that they were only equipped by nature with poison to make it possible for them to get their food and help keep the balance of nature. Without snakes, Mr. Dickinson said, the world would be over-run by pests, now controlled by snakes, that man could not exist. He ended by saying that he hoped he had made the snake some friends by his talk. The club did not move closer to the speaker until the reptiles were safely put away.
