POST-0FFICE RULING
Which Prohibits the Placing of
Loose Money in
Mail Boxes.

Postmaster, NJ. L. Heavrin has re-
ceived the following letter from the
Post-office Department at Washington
with reference to the practice of plac-
ing loose coins in mail boxes, which
will be of interest to many of our
readers:
"In view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose coins in
boxes by rural patrons has grown, and
the hardship imposed on rural car
riers incident thereto, you are in
formed that, commencing February is,
proximo, rural letter carriers will not
be required to collect coins from rural
mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose in an en-
velope, wrap them securely in a
piece Of paper, or deposit them in a
coin-holding receptacle, so they can
be easily and quickly taken from
boxes, and carriers will be required
to lift such coins and, where ac-
companied by mail for dispatch, at
tach the requisite stamps.
This should be promptly announced
to the rural patrons through what
ever means you may employ, without
expense to the Department, and you
are a. liberty to give the Informal
ton embodied herein to your local
papers for publication, if they 80
desire. Respectfully,
P. d. GRAW,

Acreage and Pooling Pledges Issued.

Acreage and pooling pledges for the
1910 crop of tobacco have just been
issued and mailed out to the various
locals. The pledges are not much
different from those of last year.
They are as follows:
ACREAGE PLEDGE.
We, the undersigned members of
the American Society of Equity here
by pledge our honor that we will
not plant nor have planted more than
10000 hills of tobacco to the hand,
nor more than 5000 to the half hand.
Every person who was sixteen years
old on or before Jan. 1, 1910, shall be
counted a hand, and those who will
be twelve years old, but less than
sixteen shall be counted a half hand.
This applies strictly to those who
work in the tobacco. 1t is also agreed
that anyone who fails or refuses to
abide by this limit, be denied the
privilege of pooling their tobacco.
POOLING PLEDGE.
We, the undersigned tobacco grow
ers, members of the American Socie-
ty of Equity for and in consideration
of the benefits to be derived from
cooperative selling, hereby pledge our
entire 1910 crops of tobacco Of amount
and kind set opposite our names to
the Finance Committee of Ohio county
A. s. of e. who shall have the sole
right to sell same and have it deliv-
cred to the parties designated. 1t
being understood that the Committee
shall arrange to have this tobacco
delivered at the most convenient
point where enough tobacco can be
secured to justify sale. 1t is
further understood that the cost of
selling and grading this tobacco shall
not exceed one per cent. of the sell
ing price. This pledge shall close
July l, 1910, and no one will be per-
mitted to sign after that date.

REMEDY FOR
HIGH PRICES
Is To Enlarge Farming
Area, Says Hill.
The WHOLE OF CHRISTENDOM
Is Wrestling with the Prob
lem, Which Now Af-
fects Everybody.

New York, Jan. 31.-"Back TO the
soil"
That is the slogan of James ]. Hill,
sage, financier and master railroad
builder, which he would have employ
ed as the rallying cry for all per-
sons interested in the solution of the
problem of the high cost of living.
THE problem is not local; neither
is it national" said Mr.. Hill to-day.
adding, 1T is international. All
Christendom is wrestling with it. Oh
vioUsly the world has reached an
economic crisis.
ave are not producing foodstuffs
enough. We must enlarge the farm
ing area of the earth; we must apply
scientific principles to farming; we
must adapt ourselves to conditions as
best We can while we are going
through the slow, tedious process Of
making the soil yield more abundantly
THE Malthusian theory of the too
rapid increase of population for sub
sistence on normal productiveness
would seem to have some bearing on
the present worldwide situation"
was suggested to Mr.. Hill.
NONSENSE" he exclaimed. "Agri-
culturally speaking, the earth is not
over populated anywhere. There is
congestion in the cities. The problem
is to relieve the congestion and scat
ter the unproductive population TO
the farms. Then, when we get them
there, we must teach them how to
farm letter than nine tenths Of our
farmers now know.
L believe statistics would show that
not over half of the farms of the
United States are more than half
under cultivation every year"

IN DEBT TO TIE UNIVERSITY

From the time student enters the
portals OF his college halls Re is placed
uLder a deep and everlasting debt OF
gratitude 10 his university. The ben,
afts he receives are many, and make
OF him such man as he could in no
otherwise become.
Loyalty TO his university is the best
way OF paying this eternal debt OF
gratitude. Loyalty involves much and
will be OF greater benefit to the stu
dent than to the university 1t means
faithful application 10 studies; it
means activity in all stud nj matters;
it mean keeping faith with the uni
vorsiU in the every day life.
Boost your university. Tell your
friends at home what great school
it is, and what great good ii has done
for you. and viii do for them and
their posterily. Respond TO the uni
ycrs:ty's call for aid when aid is
needed. Use your influence with the
men OF affairs in your community to
the benefit OF the university. Tell your
young friends about the university
and persuade them to so there for
their education. Always be loyal,
helpful alumnus to your Alma Mater.
Always lend helping hand.
The University of Missouri has MANY
loyal supporters among the alumni
and former students. May the pre-
ent students attain the high standard
Of university loyalty set by those that
have gone before.

A FIELD FOR ENTERPRISE

Missouri should have a thousand ad-
ditional miles of electric interurban
railway in the next ten years. says
financial writer in a Missouri news
paper. He argues that the steam
road has prospered in an as yet unde-
veloped country. and that where the
steam road prospers, so will the elec-
trio line. The cost of maintenance
OF the electric line is less. and the in
come as much or possibly more. he
says.
The main trouble in the past with
such enterprises. he says. is the lack
OF capital. 1t appears that the in
stallation of such projects requires too
much immediate capital and that in
vestors are as yet unwilling TO un-
dertake something that is not known
TO be sound investment. There are
a number of electric line projects be
fore the state of Missouri, but nearly
every one is halted by lack OF funds.
