country towns would certainly de- preciate as store after store was forced out of business and greater burdens of taxation would be placed upon the farmers over burdened shoulders. Lack of funds raised by taxation would curtail the schools of the country towns. Churches now so largely support ed by the home merchants could no longer be kept supplied with ministers, unless the farmer mem- bers heavily increased contribu- tions. Public spirit would be de- stroyed, public institutions would suffer and public improvements become a thing of the past.
 The plain. fact is that the inter- ests of the farmer and the home merchant are mutual. They are partners in the business of pro- duction and distribution --in the building and maintenance of the best possible home market. And the best home market is the one that buys everything the farmer has to sell at top market prices and sells him everything he needs at fair competitive prices.
 Therefore, Mir. Farmer, stand by your home merchants now as you would expect them to stand by you. In doing this you are conserving your own interests.

THE RURAL PARCELS POST
What It Means to the Local Merchant and How It Can Help Materially to
 Kill Smaller Towns and Cities.

| The advocates of the rural post claim that this system of merchan- disc transportation would enable the farmer to have small packages of merchandise delivered at his mail box quickly and cheaply. | No one disputes this, but there are two more sides to the ques- ton. Here is one:
 Every rural delivery carrier is now authorized to carry merchan- disc parcels weighing over four pounds, from your farm or from town to your farm--and you, or the town man, pay the carrier whatever you agree is right. The proposed postage charge would average much higher than what you would pay under the present system of local delivery. Now there is no maximum weight limit, for the carrier can take anything he is able to carry, but it is pro- posed to limit the weight to eleven pounds only. This would greatly curtail the delivery privileges now open to every farmer who desires to use them and make delivery cost him more than under the present method.
 Here is another side of the questionable side seen by your good friends, the home merchants:
 Big city merchants of all kinds would be quick to seize the rural parcels post as a delivery outlet through the use of local agents, to whom parcels would be shipped in large quantities by express or freight for deposits in the local postoffice and delivery by rural carriers. There is absolutely no way in which this could be pre- vented.
 The opportunity thus afforded | these mail order houses for the de- velopment of gigantic trust is a most serious menace to the farm CTS welfare. Every necessity of life could in time be monopolized through the operation of this gov ernment postal subsidy, taxed against all the people and applied for the sole benefit of the mail order trust. Already Wall street sees the trend of events, and big business has become interested in fostering and financing the parcels post agitation. Its appetite has been stimulated by the results of the past few years, which have en- abled one mail order concern to pay an annual dividend of : per cent on its many millions of capi- tai and recently declare a special dividend of B I-3 per cent What farmer can ever hope to equal that record
 The big city merchants pay no taxes of any kind direct or in- direct in your community. They do not help maintain your schools, churches, libraries, hospitals and other public institutions. They do not help you build and main tain good roads. They do not give you credit, and they give you neither sympathy nor help when misfortune comes. The big city merchants have absolutely no in- terest in you, excepting to get hold of as many dollars as they can and give as little in return therefor as possible.
 Furthermore, the big city mer- chants do not help in any way to maintain and build up the home market for your products that en-

IT HEsE men and several other women who were
in her employ constituted the society into which
the Duchess introduced the girls who answered her
advertisements The men all had hghsounding titles:
some Of them real, but the most Of them were
assumed for the occasion. And in surprising number
Of cases these titles turned the trick They covered
u. any defects the may have had in the eyes OF
the girls and match often agreed upon. When
this happened the Duchess got her commission from
both the husband and the wife.
A girl well known in Chicago society was intro
duced to certain French Marquis by the Duchess and
marriage resulted The agency through which ID
had been brought about got large from tho
Marquis, who had been born peasant. but had mads
fair fortune In the manufacture Of gloves. The
girls father, who was just as anxious to have his
daughter marry title she to do it. paid
larger for the same services It was not until
time later that they discovered the Marquis rea
origin
Another Of the Duchess schemes was to correspond
with both and women who wanted TO marry and
send them lists Of available matches These lists were
simply tho fruit Of her imagination and Of the many
mobiles whose names filled them had ever existed. In
these she always demanded advance commissions
before she brought about meeting, and she always
found some for not making tho introductions
agreed upon and substituting else She always
kept the money however certain San Franchises
girl who is we'll known in Los Angeles and Seattle
society was caught in the Duchess tolls through
respondencc and her father relieved of much money
before they discovered the fake.
The Duchess has just been run 70 earth by ths
