freshness is assured. as they are delivered
the same day as shipped. Fruit, vegetables
and eggs in huge quantities are sent from
country farms to London markets by the
same method. The post office egg busi-
ness is large that special departments
are assigned to 1t, and minute instructions
for packing and shipment are issued The
post office, however, pays no compensation
for broken eggs, but 1t is remarkable that
the breakage is extremely small, provided
packing instructions are followed. Eggs are
shipped in boxes containing small cardboard
divisions. Fruit, especially soft fruit, such
as strawberries, must be packed In boxes
in such a way that the juice will not exude
and injure other parcels. AT Christmas
time vast numbers of turkeys are sent by
parcel post. Strange to say, many of these
birds never reach their destination. The
reason alleged generally is either that the
labels get torn off in transmission or that
they are insufficently addressed. These
derelict turkeys find their way to the
dead parcels office and are promptly dis
posed of by public auction. Few compen-
sattOn claims for lost birds are paid,
however, and the government plea of in

turkeys.

The gross amount paid to the post office
for the transmission of parcels for the year
1906 was s1O,693 800.
Despite the fact that last year 1O1. 6s2,O 600
parcels were delivered at a cost OF more
than s1O,5O0 900. the parcel post business Is
carried on at a loss. At first glance thls
might appear to be a serious op1ection
which would initiate against the general
adoption of the system, but it is an objec-
ton which In the course of time is likely to
be removed.
The reason for it is that the railway
companies through the powerful pull
which they are able to exert in the houses
of parliament have succeeded in capturing
~ per cent of the money paid for all par
cells sent by rail under government trans

WALTER / SMITH FOR SENATOR.

A shot in the bushes often bags lots

chase as on rabbit hunt. When the
Times Republican predicted that 1t had
already been arranged to make Walter

opposition to Cummins, nothing in the
way of definite information was In
sight. The Cedar Rapids Republican
had argued for a young man. man
much younger than Cummins and the
Cedar Rapids Republican has been sus-
pected before of having editorial as
sistance from Burlington. The only two
young men available were Congressman
Cousins and smith and Cousins could
not stand fight. Here We're the con-
ditions ripe to harbor game and 1T was
not surprising that shot in the bushes
bagged big one.

Allison decides not 10 run, but is no
less an announcement since the men to
whom smith would have to look for his
assistance, are the ones who would

from the start that Senator Allison at
so years of age would not seek re-elec-
ton at the expense OF fauguing cam

with his star of glory at its zenith
There was no insult or ingratitude in
assuming that his office would be open
to other men. When the old time OPP
position to Cummins threatened to drag
the venerable senator into the fight II
was politely suggested that his age
would defeat him and the Clarinda pa
per was permitted to admit that this
was true Then the third string from
the left and corner on board No. / was
pulled and the Cedar Rapids paper calls
for young man. The T.-R. has an
ticipated the next three or four moves

DISCOVERING TWO NEW STATES.

What land rush there would be If
somebody had discovered two new
states to be opened to homesteaders by
the government! However, the drain
age works now in progress in various
states will bring up from under water
fertile lands equal in aggregate area to
two of our Mississippi valley states
and when once dry and titled will be
worth close to 500 per acre in every
square mile. AS compared to irriga-
ton the, results from drainage are i'm
measurably more important.
During the last session Of congress a
bill providing for the establishment OF
a drainage fund and the construction
of works fomthe reclamation of swamp
lands was favorably reported by the
senate committee on public lands and
will be brought to the attention of the
nations legislato soon after congress
convenes next December. The measure
will doubtless be enacted into law and
will result in the conversion of from
SO, 900 900 to 75,OO0,OO0 acres of worth
less swamp into productive farm land.
Few, perhaps, at first thought have
a definite realization of the possibilities
Of drainage IN the valley of the Mis-
sissippi where most of this land is lo-
Gated Florida alone contains nearly
sS1, 900 square miles of swamp. Louis

igan, Minnesota and North Dakota con-
tain vast tracts which, drained of their
surplus moisture, could be transformed
into splendid farms, not only valuable
themselves, but would also tend to in
crease the value of lands adjacent to
them now under cultivation.
In view of the many object lessons
on the cheapness of drainage as COM
pared with irrigation projects and
considering the certainty of results it is
remarkable that the movement was not
started long before this time. In Ilii-
nois and Indiana lands thus treated
promptly doubled in value and later
doubled again. The same thing is in
progress in northern Iowa where coun-
ties have undertaken the reclamation
of their ponds and sloughs with every
prospect of success and where today
magnificent crops of corn and oats are
growing. on land that was only few
years ago passed by as utterly worth
less by men who located on the semi
arid lands of western Kansas and Ne
sbraska.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

|
The labor and worry of the week
reaches out to Saturday night. Then
there is a halt. The day of rest in
breath.
There is more in the homecoming
, Saturday night than on any other day
in the week. Somehow the smiles are
sweeter the greetings more gladstone
and the home looks happier. Even
Tabby. the house cat, wakes up, and
the dog wags his tail harder. when the
tin bucket comes swinging up the
pathway
And there seems to be a restful
feeling all around us. The weeks work
is about over, and we are going to
sit down after supper. with mother
and the children and plan what to do
with the weeks wages. Johnny wants
a new pair of shoes; Mary needs a
new frock; father ought to have a
Sunday suit and mother-well, she
doesn't need anything. She will argue
you all out of the proposition if you
suggest that there is solitary thing
on earth that must be bought for her.
And the result is that she wins her
case.
And there is another Saturday night
which must come to us all. 1t will be
when the last goodbye is spoken-the
last grasp of the hand is given and
the cares and duties of life are forever
laid down. For us earth's dawn will
never break--earth's roses bloom no
more-lifes pleasures and pains pos
sess no meaning. 1t will be our final
Saturday night. The morning will
break for us in another cline our
souls will know another life. And
ours is to so live and act that our last
Saturday night shall fade away into
the grand effulgence Of an eternal
Sabbath day.

SEND THE BOY TO COLLEGE.

II In doubt as to whether to send the
boy to college or not just send him ana
take no more risks. IL you can't afford
the $50 or $50 month for nine months
which college course Will cost, give
him what you can afford and let him
hustle for the rest He'll make 1t
somehow.
Every boy is entitled to the best
equipment for life which parent can
give him. There Is no certainty that d
college education will make conspicu-
Gus success of every boy, else the gov
eminent would send every young man
to college and establish perfect race
Of men In one generation, but college
education does give man an immense
advantage in life. 1t enables him 10
rise faster and to higher points IN
whatever he undertakes to do. Then
It hroadens his interests his Inform
ton, and his views of things and equips
him to enjoy other things than the mar
row interests of his business or of his
loafing place. 1t makes Of him val
liable citizen. When he has achieved
success and his nefghbors call upon
him for public service, be it only the
town council or school board, he need
not hang his head in embarrassment at
his lack of education but can step bold
ly forward and be, a man.
The broader interests in life and the
equipment for easy leadership among
men are the greatest benefits to be de-
rived from a college education, but
practical equipment for special work
need not be neglected. A young man
can educate himself for a high class
trade or profession while getting the
broadening and intelligent training OF
mind which al college education affords.
Having specialized he can come out OF
school with the ability to do some one
thing better than other people and he
does not have to begin commerce as a
common ,laborer, altho college men as
common laborers in a special business
have been known to reach a managers
desk.
