THE PARCELS POST BILL.

Writing of the parcels post law, the
editor of the Kenney Qll) Gazette says:
The proposed parcels post law is
one that should be opposed by every
reader of this paper. 1t is the begin
ming of the end of every country mer-
chant, of every country newspaper, of
every farmer, of every country resident
for law that is detriment to one
is detriment to all of these people.
BY a country resident is meant every
citizen of the small towns and villages.
The parcels post bill proposes to re-
duce postage rate on packages of mer-
chandise and allow the transportation
through the postoffice of packages
weighing up to eleven pounds. Per-
sons who have never given this question
much thought will at once say, This
will be a great benefit to me. / can
get my supplies from the great mail
order houses at just that much cheaper
rate. But let's see if this is correct.
Suppose all the country people this
includes residents of the aforesaid
small towns and villages) begin at once
to buy their supplies of all description
from the mail order houses, what will
be the first result? Why, the country
merchant will have to close his doors
and quit business-he will have no.one
to buy his goods. Second. the country
newspaper will have to cease publica-
tion-the merchant will have no need
to advertise his wares. for no one will
buy from him when they can get it ten
cents cheaper in Chicago and pay their
own freight.
But, says the country resident, we
don't care for that; we are getting our
supplies cheaper. 1t makes no differ
ence to us whether the country mer-
chant lives or dies, financially
.sIt don't eh! One of these days you
will have a few dozen eggs, few old
roosters, a load of corn, some berries,
garden truck, or one of the other nu-
merous articles you have for sale
What are you going to do with it?
The home merchant has been put out
of business long ago; you won't even
have the publisher of the little home
paper to dump your stuff on in payment
of your subscription; you can't profit
ably send these small shipments to a
distant city; what are you going to do
then? A country resident or farmers
market gone, what does it profit him if
he can buy his merchandise in distant
city at slightly lower price?
''No, the parcels post bill should new
er be allowed to become law and we
believe our congressman will see TO it
that it does not.
Already the postal deficit is S25, ,00o,-
900 per annum caused by the too rapid
extension of rural free delivery service.
The parcels post, If it becomes a law,
would necesitate almost double the
number of postal employees, and the in
creased amount of revenue received
would not equal the increased amount
of expenditures, therefore the amount
of the deficit would be increased in
stead of decreased.

CRANBERRIES PROMISE WELL

From all the cranberry marshes in
this section of the state comes the en-
cOuraging report that the crop this
year promises well, and unless some
unforeseen set back should come at
this late day, there will probably be
as large, if not a larger crop, than
there was last year.
The vines seem to be all in fine
shape, there has not been much trouble
with the usual forces which tend to
to decrease the yield, and the greatest
danger at the present time is that
there may be an early frost. For the
past two DAYS there has been some I'M
easineSs because of the very low tenn
perature, and if it should become nee
eSSary to turn the water on the vines
now, there would undoubtedly be no
little damage from the Scalding. 1t
is hoped, however, that there will be
no need to resort to this method. The
temperature Thursday night, was dan
gerously low, however, put the present
indications are that it will warm up
in the course of the next few hours,
and cranberry growers are anxiously
awaiting developments.

are so well known to the careful in
vestigator that they can be brushed
aside.
The time has arrived when Chris
tian Science is needed as a protection
against the mental bandit: for, as
matter of fact, the understanding of
God as the one infinite power is the
only sure means of defense against
the evil called malicious animal
magnetism.
Jesus evidently had this i1 mind
when he prayed: Not as l will, but
as thou wilt" This was on the oc-
casion when he was struggling to de-
fend himself against the almost over
whelming hatred of the rabble, which
was incensed against him at that
time.
There is no point of similarity be-
tween the belief of Christian Science
concerning animal magnetism and
what has been termed witchcraft.
Witches, as we understand, were
supposed to be controlled by evil
spirits or demonds which rendered
them dangerous to the community in
which they lived. Witchcraft was
based wholly upon superstition.
In Christian Science animal magne-
tism is not believed to be a power, is
not thought to be the expression Of
intelligence but of false belief.
1t is not to be combated by shifting
its victim. but by understanding the
truth, by relying upon the one power
which neutraliZes and destroyes the
false belief.
In the light of Christian Science we
recognize that the effects of the black
curse and all other means of frighten-
ing folks are the outgrowth of delu-
sion, of suggestion or auto-suggestion,
which become powerless in the pre-
sence of Christian Science, the ap-
prehension of the truth of being.
The manifestations of human will
are silenced by an understanding of
the omnipotence aud omnipresence Of
the divine mind.
