The farmers Search.

While blowing. a Crawford county
farmer near Helper had the misfor-
t:vator in the plowed ground. Soon
a neighbor came by. Lost ONE
thing?" he asked. Soon another came
by and asked the same question. And
then another. Pretty soon a man he
didn't like anyhow approached. Lost
something?" he asked. The farmer
looked up in supreme disgust. ooh.
no; just digging worms for my pet
buzzard." he replied,-Kansas City

The plan is to have booms a float

THE EXPRESS AND THE PAR
GELS POST.
New Orleans States:

New Orleans States:
The thorough probing that the ex-
press companies are receiving at
the hands Of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission is doing more to
create public opinion in favor of
parcels post than anything that has
been done in years. The facts
brought out by the commissions in
vestigation show that the express
business has been managed in utter
disregard of the welfare of the pub
lie, constant oVercharges being made
on prepaid packages, with no effect
i've system for the return Of the mo-
ney taken. 1t has been shown that
the cost of the express service to
the country is excessive in many
instances, and the commission is de-
termined that the companies shall
find a way to stop the unfair prac-
tees.
1.-THE entire volume of evidence
says the Washington Herald, constl-
tutes an argument in favor of the
establishment of a parcels post by
the Government in connection with
the Postcffice Department. 1t was
only this week that high official,
testifying before the commission,
sought to palliete his position by tell
ing the commission that they were
in constant fear of the establishment
of a parcels post, which would ruin
the express business in the United
States. If the statement lis true,
and express matter can be carried
by the Government and delivered
through the postoffice cheaper than
the express companies can do it, the
fact is important and comes near
clinching the argument in favor CT
the parcels post
While it is not likely that the es,
adjustment of a parcels post ser
vice. would break up the express
business, it will probably lead to its
reorganization on a better and
more economical basis. At best
the parcels post could only supple
ment the express business by ssk1nle
charge of the cheaper and smalteI
class of packages and carrying then
to points which the express compa
MES will do nothing to serve.
The public has reached the con
clusion that there is plenty OF room
in this country for both the parceh
post and the express, with the eX
press service put upon a proper bus
mess basis, instead of the extortion
ate monopoly which the evidence pe
fore the Interstate Commerce Gem
mission has proved it to be.

FIGHTING THE NATIONAL EVIL.

Kansas City Star:
Kill all the flies early Then there
will be no late ones.
Observe the city ordinance that all
foodstuff, whether inside or outside
the house, is to be kept screened.
Join the clean city crusade and re-
move the trash and filth from your
back yard and cellar
Now-to-day-is the time to kill
flies. Right now, before the warm
weather comes, is the time to clean
up, thus destroying the eggs and
eliminating the flies before they're
Matched.
"The first lazy flies of spring will
soon be crawling into the sunny
comers,'' said DR.. H. DeLamater, as
siStant health commissioner, recent
ly Kill them now while they are
easily caught. One fly may mean
ten billion later on. Perhaps you
have noticed on a mild afternoon
when the sun is bright that one or
two buzzed around your ears. They're
here. There are only a few of
them, but they should be swatted
while they are few.
"It is superfluous to enumerate
the dangers of the house fly. 1t is
sufficient to recall that the death
rate from typhoid fever, tuberculo-
sis and infantile diseases has been
greatly lowered by eliminating the
fly. If every housewife will kill ev-
cry fly she sees from now until the
middle of next month, we will have
no fly scourge this summer"
