GROWERS GET A
 REDUCTION IN CHARGES.

Van Buren, Mar. 20.-While there was some complaint heard among the many large fruit growers and shippers here over the ruling made by refrigerator car companies operating in this section during the fruit season to the effect that they would not only be compelled to load their own cars but furnish the neceS- Sary stri ps and braces, they are to be reconpensed by a reduc- tion in refrigeration charges that will fully offset the cost to them of loading.
 The Armour Refrigerator Car Company. whose cars are used exclusively by the Frisco, has announced a reduction in refrig- eration charges that will amount to even more than the cost of loading.. The eompany's new tariff shows a reduction of S7 per car from Van Buren to Cleve- land, O., Denver, Col, Des Moines, Ia, Omaha, Neb., and Minneapolis, Minn., witf pro- portionate reduction to all other points. The American Refrig- orator Transit Company used on the Iron Mountain has announc- ed a similar reduction and the Wells Fargo company, that op- erated refrigerator cars of its own out of Van Buren each sea- son, IS expected to make a siml- lar reduction in it's refrigeration charges.
 As the bulk of fruit shipped from here III refrigerator cars IS shipped to the above named points, the reduction announced by the transportation companies will exceed the estimated cost of S5 50 for loading.

AN ADVOCATE OF
 THE PARCELS POST.

From the Monroe Iowa Record. Printed
 by fequest.I
 Monroe, Iowa, Feb. Fist, 1908. Editor REcoRD-Can you find room in your paper for few lines in answer to your editorial on the "Pareels Post?" l think they will furnish your readers with some food for thought.
 You stated the Parcels Post is all right in European countries because standardization IS the settled policy of the government. Surely you must be misinformed as to conditions oil the other side of the water. NIT. Albert Shaw writes III the Review ot Re views, "The French are indi- vidually the richest of peoples more than one half the French men who die leave property be- hind. Cases of family poverty are extremely rare ln France and
  most unknown. That does not look as If standardization Is the settled policy of the French gov ernment.
 In England the drift IS alto- gether in the direction of better times for the poor. A poor man can send a one pound parcel from one end of the country to the other for six cents; he can send ten word telegram anywhere for twelve cents; he can open an ac- count in a Postal Savings Bank with twenty-five cents, he gets 2H per cent interest and the government guarantees his de- poslts. Does this look like cen- tralization2 These benefits which mean so much to the poor have been kept from the Ameri- can people by the greed of few corporations. And the corpora tions interested-the express companies-are doing their best to prevent the passage of the Parcels Post law and they are using the retail merchants of our towns (your editorial was evident ly written from the standpoint of the retail merchant as cat paws.
 The retail merchant who opposes the Parcels Post Is sim ply fighting the battle of the eX- press companies and Is making a very grave mistake. l sympa- thize fully with tie retail men in their fight against the big eata- logue houses. I hope they will win for 1 believe m trading at home. But am sure of this, that fighting the introduction of the Parcels Post, measure that will be of great benefit to large numbers of people. k not the best way to fight the department stores. If merchants think they can force a discerning public to trade with them by blocking the Parcels Post, they are in error Trade can be coaxed not forced, at least not for long. Any legis- lation that cheapens transporta- ton and makes communication between different parts of the country easy IS to be desired.
 Parcels Post Is bound to come and by opposing 1t the retail merchant will only succeed in irritating the very people whose good will he needs, by compell- ing them to submit for while longer to the eXactions of the ex
