FARMERS FAVOR 1T

The Parcels Post is a popular
scheme in the country. 1t is said that
more than 80 per cent of the farmers
are in favor of it and want it, not
that they want to injure the GRUB
stalker, THE small merchant, but
for their own convenience and profit.
The old stock in trade argument, that
it will be blow to the country and
village merchant, has been done to a
FRAGILE. Suppose, for argument s
sake, that few of these merchants
are forced out of business. They can
make as much or more at something
else. The fittest will survive. There
are too many stores, anyway, so the
merchants say. The elimination of
one or two stores in community
would enable the remaining store to
enlarge, and keep stock of goods on
hand sufficient to supply the needs of
the entire community. Another thing,
brought out heretofore in this paper,
viz: the establishing of Parcels Post
Will help the road Notwithstanding
road building by the government. If
Uncle Sam is going to use the coun-
try roads to haul goods over, why
then. Unclo Sam will help greatly to
build good roads. This is no inconsi-
derable argument.
The opposition to Parcels Post has
its origin in the same hotbed of
trusts and large corporations which
opposes everything looking to the
benefit of the masses of the people.
Let the people have what they need
and want, say we.
