This" according to Mr.. Won Meyer
In Philadelphia speech, will be a
great boon to the farmers on the rural
routes, because when they are able to
order their goods by telephone or postal
card it will relieve them Of the incon.
venience of going to town to obtain the
necessaries of life" The Postmaster
General admits that country storekeep-
ers strongly object to this form Of be.
nevolence to the farmers. But he says
he will quiet their objections by giving
farmers a lower parcels post rate on
their local delivery routes than from
the outside. Does Mr.. Won Meyer i'm.
agine that even this concession will
protect country stores from the aggres,
slve city mail order houses? The fatal
flaw in Mr.. Won Meyers reasoning, as
quoted above, is the supposition that
the farmer needs to be pampered until
his conditions Of living are as artificial
as those Of the average city resident
He is 30 have the trolley car at his
door, the telephone in his house, his
daily mail delivery, which will include
all his groceries and store supplies.
Neither the farmer nor his wife, nor
his children are to feel the need OF
going to town." One may well doubt
whether the average rural resident ap
preciates or needs quite so much atten.
ton on the governments part. The
country storekeeper needs as much pro,
lection as the farmer, perhaps more,
says the Chicago Journal. The farmer
should be encouraged to deal in the
nearest town or village. The parcels
post is an enemy to this rural com.
munity life. 1t will increase the artif.
cial markets in the cities and curtai.
the natural home markets. The govern.
ment's paternalism could find more le
gitlmate objects than the suppression

Two TRAGEDIES,

A poet had wife and the wife had
little to eat. After several weeks OF
failure to get money wherewith to pur.
chase food she ran away with a cab
driver who owned his outfit and acted
as though he owned the city.
''The blow will kill him." cried peo.
pie. "She has ruined his career"
1t didn't kill him, for he turned his
sorrow into sonnet that he sold for
So, and reviewers said that the font of
inspiration had at last been opened to
him.
A mans wife deserted him, and the
neighboS were more interested than
he was.
Poor fellow" they said, ut will drive
him to drink"
1t did, for he was one who never lost
an opportunity, and his wife was a
strict tee e-totaler.-New York Sun.

Brazil, distinguished in the merry
comedy, "Charley's Aunt" as the place
"where the nuts come FROM" is also
distinguished as a place where ideas
grow. Thirty Brazilian merchants and
professional men, have been visiting
this country, in obedience to the advice
which Secretary Root gave to all the
Americans to get acquainted.

The Department Of Agriculture is
taking a paternal interest in the pros.
perity Of the farmer. 1t is teaching
him to have better crops, better ma
chinery and better buildings. Now
comes Postmaster General Won Meyer
with an intimatlon that the Postoffice
Department also wants to take a pater.
nal interest In the farmers. 1t wants
to give rural residents the parcels post.

New Principle in Structural Work

A new principle in engineering prac-
tice is described by the Scientific lAmeri-
can in the case of lookout tower built
by Alexander Graham Bell, in which the
structure is composed of tetrahedrons,
and is said to be the first iron structure
built on this principle. Each tetrahedral
cell, which is the unit of construction,
is made of one-half inch iron piping, and
measures exactly 4S inches from tip to
tip. Two hundred and sixty of these
cells were employed in the tower, which
rises 70 feet above the ground. Some Of
the advantages claimed for this method
of construction are lightness, great rigid
ity, rapidity and ease of construction.
very little false work being required, and
the facility with which any part may be
renewed.

Jane Eyre

The brand new dramatization
of "Jane Eyre is even more in
t~eresting than the novel. The
literary cobwebs OF a former
generation have been brushed
away, and much of the gloom of
the book has disappeared before
the touch of bright, snappy
comedy of the lighter goasamy
sort. In spite of the novel
treatment of the book by the
author, the basic story remains
and the reading public will be
glad to see their old friends
with bright smiling faces and in
new clothes. The scenic pic
lures are in keeping with the
splendid company which is pre-
senting. "Jane Eyre" will be

FROM COLORADO
Thoughts From an Old Richardson
County Citizen

Grand Junction, Colo, oct. D.
Fails City Tribune-Dear Editor
! see from the press of Nebras-
ka that the issue in the state is
largely on the county option ques-
tion. and especially in Richardson
county. Now Mr.. Editor this is
when some people carry their pol.
tiles in their stomach and act ae-
cordingly. They do not consult
their conscience, their morality
or their pocket book but vote with
what class of people: do they dare
say?
If | am correct you will find
many business men opposing
county option, claiming it takes
from them self government, giving
the farmer and tax payers over the
county a right to say what their
town shall permit under license,
Now we know, you know. and they
know, that every person who has
been buying from Montgomery
Ward and all such houses are on
their black list, and not one of
them could receive their support
in a convention, or election-ffom
the fact that they ere boycotipg
their home town. Ii the town is
entitled to their trade, is not this
person entitled To say what kind
of a town he shall give his trade
to? | have known men in the
west end of your county who
have bought hundreds of dollars
worth of goods from these houses,
just because their town WAS a wet
town. Now, ] never believe in a
boycott but | do think every per-
son, who gives a town his trade
should have as much interest in
what kind of a town it shall be as
he does in what kind of a post
master they shall have. Would
they think for one moment if they
were taking a vote to see who
shall handle their mail that the
rural patrons would be excluded
from having a voice in the cleo
ton? Are these farmers to give
a town their loyal support, when
they send out on the highways
some of their finished products
from their saloons with teams

that he believed that it would prove

Senator Toney declared that Jack

lost 100000 by doing so. Judge Gould
