Mr. A. D. Garfield foreman in E. E
Chapples bean mill who has resigned his
position for the purpose Of re-entering in
farm life at Windham Centre, Ontario.
was agreeably surprised on Wednesday

him with beautiful clock and the follow

Mr.. Delos Camfield,
Dear Friend As you are soon to sever
your connection with our establishment
we your fellow employees, feel that we
cannot allow you to depart without TAX
ing this opportunity of expressing our re-
regard for you as a Christian man, who
by your kind manner, generous disposition
and upright daily life, before and among
us has secured our respect and esteem
and although you deem it in your interest
to leave US and return to the land Of the
Beaver and Maple Leaf" the land cf
your birth, we find no fault with you for
this desire to go back to your native lane
for patriotism is one Of the qualities Of q
truly noble man, for in the language OIL
the poet we might say,
"Breathes there man with soul so dead
| Who never To himself hath said
| This is my own my native land
] Whose heart hath neer within him burned
| As home his footsteps hath turned
| From wan lering in foreign strand,
| II such there breathe go mark him WELL
| For MIN no minstrel notes do swell
| II gh though his title proud his name,
| BoundlesS his wealth as wish could claim
| Despite those titles power and pelt,
! The wretch COnCentred all in self
| Living shall forfeit fair renown
! And dOubly dying shall 20 down.
| To the vile dust whence he sprung
| Unwept, unbonored and unsung
Yet we assure you that we part witt
you with deep regret and we ask you t
accept this clock as token Of our regarc
and memento of our friendly inter
course during the past four years and a.
is strokes mark the passing Of time il
future years they will tend to remind yol
OF the hours we have spent together anC
we hope and pray that smiling proyi
dence may crown your remaining year
with blessing and your labors with sue.

An Agitation Is now Being started In
Washington To Modify IL.
1t will be Of interest to all farmers on
the rural route and to the merchants gen.
orally TO know that an agitation is now
being started in Washington to modify the
parcels post bill in such way that it will
not discriminate against the small town or
city business man. and still give the farm
err the same service. The measure pro-
poses to have the rural carriers deliver all
mail and merchandise up to eleven pounds
to their patrons on their respective routes,
provided the package is mailed at the Of
flee from which the rural route extends
In explanation iL is stated that no mer-
chandise that is mailed outside the county
in which the route operates can be deliy-
cred by the carriers working at its desti-
nation This prevents the mailing OF
merchandise by the large mailing house:
in the larger cities, and will remove the
principa objection that has been raised
to the general parcels post bill as origl-
nally suggested.
For instance, the mail houses of Chics-
go can send out goods only through Cool
county. The business houses of Wenons
likewise, under the new plan, could senc
merchandise through the mail only t
farmers getting their mail through TIL
postoffce in towns IN Marshall county.
Under the old plan the bill intended K
charge stamp tax of one cent an ounc,
sixteen cents pound. This price is saic
to be too hard on the farmer. and it i
accordingly planned to make the uniform
tax three cents pound, with no singh
package weighing over | | pounds.
