Dear Dad--If you want postaf

AFFORD 1t, write a letter also TO the
postoffice department addressed to
Frank Hitchcock. The postmaster
general says that the experiment OF
postal banks has proved a great sue
cess. He says that he would be glad
TO establish 500 additional banks at
once II the money could be had from
congress. The public would be glad,
no doubt, to have congress appro-
pirate the necessary money for this
purpose. The cost is trifing. The
real objection comes from banking In
terests' servants in congress.
Representatives OF the National
grange are in Washington to oppose
President Taft's reciprocity treaty.
These gentlemen say they have no
objection to lower tariff duties with
the consequent reduced cost of living,
but they object TO making the agri-
cultural producer take all the brunt
OF IL. They see no reason why the
beef trust should have protection on
its prepared meats while cattle on
the hoof are 10 come In free. They
see no reason why the biscuit trust
should have protection on It's biscuits,
while grain is made the subject OF
free trade. The Gloucester fisherman
sees no reason why he should lose
what protection he may have while
the cotton trust and the wooden mills
OF New England keep their right to
tax his shirt All OF which Is produc-
tive OF hard weather for Taftis reci-
procity treaty. The defeat of the
treaty, however. will probably be ac-
eomplished by Taft's friends. The

Best Books Of 1910.

The Western Massachusetts, Library
club recently published list OF the
best books Of 1910. This list Is par.
ticularly interesting to the general
reader, affording q basis for discus
sion of what the best books OF the
past twelve months really were. The
list IL not over long, for as the COM
mittee which made II up says In It's
explanation, II has been the aim to
make II comprehensive and at the
same time to keep II within the means
OF the average library. In view OF this
fact 1t is safe to assume that only
those books which are OF striking
merit have been included.
At the start In the fiction section
one finds Winston Churchilfs latest
novel A Modern Chronicle as "a
strong. well-written, suggestive piece
of work." by Mary Watts Nathan
Burke, "a leisurely story OF Southern
Ohio during the sos and '40's."
In the Juvenile section, Joseph A.
Altsheler's Horsemen of the Plains.
f. v. Lucas The Slowcoach, and
Jacob Riis' Hero Tales OF the North
are found.
