Postmaster General Hitchcock Will
Recommend it in a Limited Way
For Rural Delivery Routes.

A limited parcels post for the
rural free delivery routes will be re-
commended by Postmaster General
Hitchcock in his forthcoming annual
report. In announcing this the Post
master General foresees the establish
ment of a general parcels post
throughout the country as soon as
the postal savings system is
thoroughly organized. b4ss
AS the preliminary step in the de-
velopment of such a service. Mr..
Hitchcock will ask Congress to au-
thorize the delivery on rural routes
of parcels weighing as nigh as eleven
pounds, which is the weight limit for
the international parcels post. The
form of service, it is maintained can
be conducted with little, if any, addi-
tional expense TO the government. 1t
will no require the appointment of
more carriers. for those already en-
ployed have the necessary equipment
in the way of horses and wagons to
distribute the parcel as well as the
ordinary mail.

it is alleged, brought Madeline and

degraded show. Authorities at Gary
reached the conclusion that the girls

The Cow.

The dairy COW, If able to express her
self in a way which the human family
would comprehend, might we'll lay claim
to being mans best friend. She might
establish such claim by calling atten-
ton to the fact that from her product
and from her carcass man manufactures
more of the necessities of life than from
any other similar source. She furnishes
these necessities to him from infancy
until such time as temporal things are
no longer associated with his existence,
and she does it ungrudgingly and con-
stantly.
In addition to contributing to mans
necessity and his pleasure, the prosper
ity of an agricultural community is more
closely Identified with her than with any
other of the domestic animals. The
horse is quite essential in tilling the soil,
but where necessity requires 1t the sturdy
son of the COW can take his place, as he
has done in every agricultural section
on earth. The horse can only furnish
labor and can only return a profit to his
owner when conditions are right for re-
turning satisfactory grain crops. 1t is
we'll known fact that the dairy COW is
the salvation of the farmer in times of
poor crops as she is able to convert the
rough crops, which are never total
failure, into dairy products which always
have cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes skim
milk and butter milk for the calves,
pigs and poultry and fertility for the
soil. without which farm becomes less
valuable each year and the whole country
less prosperous.
The elimination OF the dairy cow
| would necessitate an almost revolution
ary readjustment Of mans tastes and
requirements. 1t would mean untold
suffering and hardship. OF course she
| will not be dispensed with but her value
can perhaps best be appreciated by con-
emplating such loss.
She will continue to be mans best
friend az long as the human family exists
and will keep on supplying him with
his greatest needs just AZ she has done
through all sges.-The National Dairy
Union, K. K. Slater, Sec'y., st. Paul,
Minn.

1t was a perfect evening. The white
drifts of newly fallen snow glistened
In the radiant moonlight The horses
feet made hardly sound. and they
seemed to be almost flying through the
frosty air. 1t was like sacrilege to
break the silence Of that glorious De-
cember night by talking. and they rode
on without a word for long time.
Gladys was thinking Of that night two
years before when she and Mollie had
made that desperate squirt to catch the
tinkling sleighbells that seemed ever
just beyond their reach. Jeffs
thoughts were of the two rosy cheek
ed girls who had almost frightened
him out of an apple tree once and es-
pecially of the one who could never
keep that unruly lock Of hair out OF
her eyes.
At last they turned aud started down
the long slope toward home. Gladys
could keep still no longer. and in the
pure Joy of simply being alive she lift
ed her clear voice In the rollicking
measures Of a college song.
JET followed. with the Minnesota
song. and then as they turned 10 at the
gate both joined In a lower. sadder
tone in the grand old tune Of "Home.
Sweet Home"
Then they stopped by the old hitch
Ing post and sat silent again. each
loath to break the spell Of tender
memories that the old song had called
up.
"You must be getting cold" said
JEFF at last. leaping to the ground and
helping Gladys to the big fat stone
that stood by the gatepost
She looked like q queen as she stood
there in the perfect beauty Of her
young girlhood. with the silvery moon

Ieff."
"Then cap't-can't you be anything
morer" There was a little catch In
his voice.
She shook her head sadly.
For several moments they stood still
again under the spell Of that great
white silence Then Gladys gently
drew away her hands.
"Goodby. Jeff." she said.
He looked back at her over his shoul-
der az he led Mollie away to the barn
She was still standing there. her hg'

"lt Can't Be Done"

II there ever comes thorough
agricultural revival the first result
will be realized by the dropping out
of this worn out expression, sit can't
be done" Over and over again does
one hear this when changed methods
aud larger results are mentioned. II
instead these self styled authorities
would say l never did it and | won't
try we should come pretty near the
fact. In an easy going, slip shod
method these men live their lives,
cloggiug, so far as possible, all prog
ress and preventing, to the extent OF
their powers, the introduction OF any
improved methods. 1t seems wicked
to say so but the community will be
better off when these barnacles drop
out. An honest doubt is to be en-
couraged but that is always attended
with purpose to test and prove. The
evil is worked by those who refuse
to test, will not prove and deny all
belief in any ything outside their own
little, narrow rut of habits. Here
is and has been one OF the greatest
obstacles in the pathway of agricul-
tural advancement. Things can be
done, not perhaps in the way at pres
ent mapped out, but in some way,
and the one thing to do is to find the
way and prove the fact.
The limit of yield per acre or ami
NAL has never been determined and
never will be, and the cost has never
been minimized to the last fraction.
Wise is he who accepts this state
ment and stands ready to admit any
we'll authenticated record of what
Others are trying, doing or accomplish
ing. The world is moving and going
to move, but not in our way unless it is
the best way. We can help swell the
tide of service for larger results or we
can trig the wheels by crying "it can't
be DONE"
There is no problem before the agri-
cultural world but will be solved and
for the good Of the greater number.
Every ounce of thought or effort con-
tributed towards the solution helps
swell the volume of service possible to
every worker. Not in blind belief, not
in waiting for others, surely not in dark
pesSimistic doubling is the work OF
tomorrow to be done. The procession
is moving aud the man on the band
wagon doesn't catch the dust. Things
we know not of today can be done.

Little Wee had been brought up to
be polite and not to interrupt when
there was company unless 1t was very
important. He always remembered
this and kept very quiet. One day
there were visitors. who talked and
stayed and stayed until poor little
Wee was tired. He wished them to 60.
but not for anything would he let them
see this.
All of q sudden he thought OF nice
plan that his mother and father knew

they did not want to hurt his feel
ings. So In a little pause In the ladies'
