Eggs, Butter, Chickens, etc., by MAIL

NE OF the chief reasons for the high
cost Of living is the number Of mid
dlemen who come between the pro
Queer and consumer. The closer the con
sumer can get to the man who makes the
article he wants the less money he will have
TO pay. A parcels post would enable the con
sumer 10 purchase a great many things d.
rect from the producer and save him the
outrageous profits which now go to the eX-
press companies and the middlemen-
They have a parcels post in Germany, aud
It is doing such good work that the thrifty,
sensible people Of that country would not
think Of getting along without it The far
mer may ship his products for long or short
distances in parcels Weighing not more than
eleven pounds, and the cost to him is one
and One-eleventh cents per pound, or twelve
cents for an eleven pound parcel
A farmer in Germany can ship to a city
two hundred miles or more away goose or
chicken OF anything that weighs eleven
pounds or less and have it delivered in the
city at a total cost Of eleven cents. II we
had the same common sense arrangement in
this country, the farmers living a hundred
miles or so from New York City OF any
other city, could send their produce through
the Post Office to customers in the city at a
cost Of a little over a cent a pound, and the
produce would be delivered at the door OF
the consumer without any additional charge

IN Germany the Post Office handles over

More than 20 federal cannon were in

trenched in the hills IN a line Is miles
long. The federal fire was directed so
well that every shell hit a vulnerable {
spot in the rebel columns. After the
first few shots, the commander Of the ,
federal guns, Lieut. Col. Ruclo Navar- I
rete, located Immediately the position
of the enemy. Soon he silenced and
wrecked their artillery. all of which
fell into the hands of the government
troops. Most Of the shells Of the enemy
exploded about 500 feet in front of the
federal lines. which accounts for the
small losses Of the government troops.
