Young, of FL Paso, who is the best in
formed man in the United States on
the subject of breeding Persian ard
Astrachan furs. DR.. Young spent II
years trying to obtain from Asia a
small herd of the fullbloods for breed
ing purposes; he finally succeeded, and
after trying several localities he set
tied upon FL PasO county, in the val
Iey of the Rio Grande, as the best 10

TO procure another herd of the full
blood rams to establish another breed
ing farm and TO prevent any possibll-

other effort, and will go direct to the

A CHICAGO mail order concern has

the parcels post goes into operation,
they will require an entire car every
day on all the main lines out of the
city. This does not necessarily mean
the parcels post is going to bring the
mail order houses that much addition

houses too have suffered from the
outrageous charges of the express

possible, to use the post.

IT is well understood in Washington
d. c., and with good reason, that
Joseph K. Davies of Wisconsin, ives
tern manager of theWilson campaign,
will have place in the cabinet OF the
Democratic President-elect. 1t is said
that Mr.. Davies will be postmaster
general Mr.. Davies went to Wash
ington on Tuesday. 1t is understood
that he came east upon request of
President-elect Wilson, who has only
Just returned from Bermuda. The
President-elect announced upon his
arrival that he would not discuss
probable cabinet appointments, and
Mr.. Davies, of course, has nothing
to say. Therefore, it is impossible to
obtain official confirmation of the re-
port of the choice of Mr.. Davies for
acabinet position, but the information
is from sources considered entirely
trustworthy. During the recent cam
paign, and Immediately after election,
the President-elect paid tribute to
the sagacity of Mr.. Davies, as
political manager, and it is we'll known
that he has the full confidence of the
President-elct, who has high opinion
both of Mr.. Davies as man and of
his judgment on political matters.
The manner in which the Wisconsin
man handled the western end of the
campaign not only earned the respect
of the democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, but established him among the
most astute of democratic advisers.
With Mr.. Davies so close to the
President-elect, it may be assumed
that Wisconsin Wilson men need not
worry over distribution of federal
appointments in this state.
