curl OF the lip was unchanging. But the

Joy. His startling request scarcely came

At O'Clock that night Barnes and his

that light was burning in the library, the
chief. followed by his assistant. mounted
the steps OF the house and pushed the
electric button. The well trained butler

Opposed TO Parcels PostLead

Muskogee. Okla. Nov. l9.-Al-
ready the great fight against the
parco's post proposition has bcgu2.
The hardware men of the United
States will fight the scheme of the
postmaster general on the floor of
the Mississippi Commercial
congress. in session here. and one
of the chief opponents Of the
scheme will b. the editor of the
Iron Age. Wr. r. II. Williams of
New York.
The iron Age, in its opposition
to the parcels post takes purely
the cXpedicnt side of the question.
II admits theoretically that the
proposition is right and that II it
were not for the great mail order
houses II ought to be enacted into
a law as soon as congress could
convene in Washington. But 1t
holds. however. that the very first
result of the parcels post would
be to put the small country mer.
chant out of business in that It
would enable his customers to or
der anything that they wanted from
the big cities and have IL delivered
to their doors at small cost
The Iron Age points out the fal-
lacy of the idea that the small mer.
chant could make the same use of
the parcels post as would the big
mail order merchant. He naturally
would not be In position To do so
for he could not get hold of the
stock to send out
The lobbyists for the parcels post
however will be fully rs active as
its opponents. The cities of the
far west who claim that their
growth is being retarded by the
rich express companies will be on
the ground with q fine bunch OF
orators and all sorts of convincing
literature The delegation from Ok
lahCma and the central southwest
will be against the parcels post
in obedience to the thousand OF
country merchants whom they rep
resent and the wishes of the citi-
zens of the rural communities where
they live.
