j. A. Humiston, who has been unable
to work for period of two years and
four months, resumed his old position
as agent at the Northwestern depot in

obliging man as ever held the agency

and is hard to beat. Mr.. Long is un-
decided as to where he will go, but

Get Ready For Parcels Post.

Uncle Sam is getting ready for the
new parcels post law, which will be the
most important change made in the
postal service in many years, and the
public should be preparing to take ad-
vantage of it. Parcels sent under this
law must bear different and distinct
i've stamp, which will be known as the
parcels post stamp. If ordinary stamps
are used, the parcel will be held for
postage. Also each parcel must have on
it the return card of sender
Following is part of letter of in
struction to postmasters just sent out by
the Postmaster General:
Shortly before Jan. /, 1918, each
postmaster will be furnished with one
or more copies of the official parcels
post map of the United States, showing
the unit of area in which his postoffice
is located and the eight postal zones in
dicating the distance on which the par
Gel post rates of postage are based.
These maps will be securely enclosed in
a mailing tube, and sufficient copies
will be sent so that at least one map
will be Immediately available for each
postoffice, branch postoffice, and lettered
and local ramed station.
On account of the increase in the
weight limit from four toeleven pounds
it will be necessary to supply postmas-
tiers with scales of adequate capacity.

postoffice and the majority of the offices
of the fourth class will be properly
equipped in this respect by January l.,
1918.
Tape lines six feet in length, for
measuring, the size of parcel post
packages will be furnished to all

Big Combination Offer.

For several weeks we have been offer
ing the Iowa Homestead in combination
with our paper at the rate of only S1.00
for the two papers.
We do not know how much longer
we can offer the two papers at this rate.
We, therefore, urge that our farmer
friends take advantage of our offer at
once. Do not delay a single week, it
may be too late.
The Republican needs no words of
praise to our readers. 1t gives the news
while it is news without bias.
The Homestead is the leading farm
and home paper in this country.
1t will contain more valuable features
the coming year than it has ever con-
tanned any one year of its existence.
Farm writers and educators will tell
you all about insect pests that assault
the farmers crops; how the farmer may
tell them when he sees them and what
to do to destroy them.
The diseases of live stock and poultry
will be considered so the farmer will
know the symptoms and what to do to
overcome the troubles.
The question of soil fertility will be
so handled that the farmer will be able
to tell what his particular soil will
need without having to consult soil
chemist. 1t will also tell him how to
supply those needs with materials near
at hand.
The home department will be thor
oughly covered by writers who know
what they are talking about and how
to put their thoughts in words that help
and entertain.
You simply cannot afford to be with
out our paper and the Homestead for
the small price we are asking.
Be sure to call at our Office this week
and take advantage of this offer. Next
week may be too late.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT

ne MOSCOW Post of last week
contains two articles. in which
the editor deals with the sub-
!ect OF the Taft administration
IN a most commendable spirit
and also with Mr.. Roosevelt as
a desirable candidate for the re-
pupllcans in the approaching
presidential contest. 1t is pleas
ing TO see one who clearly pre-
fers Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr. Taft
as presidential material. give ex-
preston to that preference in
moderate and sensible terms. and
manifest = a disposition to deal
fairly with the man not of his
choice.
That Mr.. Roosevelt is decided
~ the favorite in the state of Ida
no and the northwest, the Globe
mas never for moment doubt
ed. But does that argue that
mr.. Taft is a villain? Not at all.
ne is noble, capable, conscien-
tious man, fully worthy of the
exalted position which he now
holds, and there are not manv
men who are at peace with their
own consciences who believe
otherwise, even though they pre-
Ter someone else as president
The Globe would rather see Roose
welt president than any man liv-
ing today, but it cannot but say
God help the man who would Sc
cure that desirable end by defam-
ing as honorable man as Presi
dent Taft. 1t is entirely un-
necessary to pursue such
course. If the people want Mr..
Roosevelt, they will certainly get
HIM, for now, as ever, he is ready
to respond if the demand for his
services is strong enough, but he
is not disposed to push his can
dldacy as against Mr.. Taft; and
all honor to him for it.
