RED HOT FIGHT ON
PARCELS POST PLAN
Energetic Campaign of the Mer-
chants League.
ORGANIZATIONS IN LINE
Pledges Sought from Congressional
Candidates of Both Parties
Small Dealers Most
Affected.

Commercial organizations and bust
ness men from ali sections of the coun-
try are endorsing the movement headed
by the Merchants League of America,
with headquarters at go Broadway,
New York City, against the establish
ment by the government of a deficit
producing parcels post system for the
sole benefit of the catalogue mail order
houses
That powerful organization known as
the Affiliated Presidents and Secre-
taries of Commercial Trade Organiza-
tions," which is made up of the work
ing heads of nearly one hundred
commercial bodies, has adopted strong
resolutions against the establishment
of a parcels post system on the
lines proposed by the catalogue mail
order houses, and the members of
these organizations are vigorously aid
ing the Merchants League of America
in its big campaign.
The Merchants League for some
of the country with facts and figures
showing that parcels post system in
the United States would raise the an
nual deficit of the Post Office Depart
ment from $I5.5ooooo, which it now is,
to more than $I5ooOoooo 1t also has
pointed out to the bankers manufac-
| turers and small merchants of the coun-
try that this deficit would have to be
| made up of taxation on the whole peo-
pie so that the small merchants are
| asked by the catalogue mail order
houses to foot the bill for their own
determination.
The great deficit would be caused by
the fact that it would cost the govern
ment approximately seven times as
much to Garry parcels under the pro-
posed rates, as would be paid by the
shippers Thus the latter would get six
sevenths of their carrying charges free,
and thus could regularly ,indersell the
small dealers of the country.
Pressure is being brought to bear by
the Merchants League on the candi-
dates of both parties for Congress to
have them declare themselves on the
parcels post proposition before the No
vember election The merchants of the
various localities are aiding in this, and
in October a list will be issued show
ing the candidates who have promised
to stand by the interests of their own
localities and those who have cast their
| lot for the concentration of the coun-
| try's retail trade in a few big centers,
thus curtailing bank deposits, newspa-
per advertising and general trade in
| their home sections.
All merchants and business men are
| requested by the Merchants League to
| join its movement and to enroll as sup
porters. Blanks are furnished by the
organization to all business men who
apply, and they are thoroughly informed
on the progress of the movement. Com
mercial bodies also have been urged to
aid to their fullest abilities.

been lying in them weeds good while
wouldn't never We left it like that if
I'd thought you was going back again.
It's pretty cold night, and you've been
in the water quite a spell. But if the
guards have found you, why mebbe--"
Utopia" says l, with a yell. Come
along here" And I jumped into Dan
ny's boat Murphy took wooden boat
off the pier, and we pulled over to where
had left myself"
And there was nothing there.
l was the color o mist already, but
guess I turned mister I shook like a
piece O fog in the wind. So was dead,
then.
There's one chance" says Old Danny.
If you fell into the water, you're like
as not drowned by this time. But if
the guards found you and carried you
inside, why, mebbe you're alive yet.
Wen go and see"
He hitched his boat to the wooden one
Murphy was in, and we went over to the
prison buildings and, looking through the
wall, there IN the surgery, sure enough,
we could see the doctors working over
me. But l wasn't rid of my scare yet,
for it was doubtful if they could bring
me to, and it looked as if I'd have to
stand by and see myself die right before
my own eyes But finally I gave a gasp
or two, and then l saw ! was out o
danger.
But the worst happened afterward, for
when Mcbride got back to the shore
there was no one there. You see, the
minute we left. him, that fool Murphy
had pushed off and rowed back home
again, with Old Danny's astral boat tow
ing along behind You may talk about
hard luck, but what do you think of
poor old Mcbride, caught on that island
without a single astral plank to get away
on? And he never did get away. That
was nine years ago. and to this very
day the guard will see that poor fellow
walking back and forth along the shore
of a night, his whiskers blowing in the
wind, wringing his hands and looking
away toward the Long Island lights for
the astral boat that never comes.-E. S.

To wash feathers, empty them from
the ticks into large sack of thin ma

FADS AND FANCIES.
BY AIINNA ScHATT CRAWFORD.

With the coming of cooler days the
question of children's school frocks and
their materials are of great interest,
Checks and plaids continue to be prime
favorites, and with abundant reason, for
there is nothing so thoroughly childlike
and pretty as the gay Scotch plalds.
Panama cloth in the various weights,
and in all colors of red, blue, green and
brown has taken the place of both serge
and mohair in the children's wardrobe.
It's firm texture, its pliability, its lack OF
that tendency to ravel at cut edges which
makes both serges and mohairs so diff
cult for the amateur sewer to handle ;
and, above all, its iron-lile wearing quail
ties have won for it an abiding place
in the affections of thrifty mothers. 1t
is splendid fabric for young girls coat
suits or blouse suits, and will be worn
more than ever the coming season.
