Nothing is given for nothing in this
world; there can be no true love even
on your side without devotion: de-
votion is the exercise of love, by
which it grows; but if you will give
enough Of that, if you will pay the
price in sufficient amount of what
you call life" why then indeed
whether with wife or comrade, you
may have months and even years OF
such easy, natural, pleasurable and yet
improving discourse. as shall make
time moment and idleness of delight.
Robert Louis Stevenson.
If people always knew what was
good for them and acted accordingly,
this would be very different world,
though not nearly so interesting

THE FARMER AND THE PAR.
GELS POST.

Take the case Of q farmer living 1C
miles from this town-40 from Boise
He Of course realizes that many peo-
pie would like to buy eggs, fruits, but
ter, vegetables, etc, direct from the
farmer. But the time of himself OF
capable man, delivering such pro.
ducts from door to door, with horse
or automobile, would be worth al
least S. to s. day.
Add to this the loss to his business
from his absence. Probably alto
gether it would cost him at least SIC
per day.
The parcels post would permit the
farmer to mail 2s-pound packages to
customers in this town for $40
Lighter packages would be much less.
In cases where he lives on a rural
route, he could mail them to the town
where the route starts for $3.50. His
customers will pay the postage and
advertising bills to get fresh goods
and save the middleman's profit.
The way to connect with the people
who want this service is to advertise
in the local paper. A small notice in
the classified columns of this paper
will soon give farmer a list of Gus
toners for such products as can be
delivered by the parcels post, up to
II pounds in weight.

A story that caused much amuse-

Wall Street Offices concerning B. A.

In the summer of 1911, Mr.. Worth
ington took his family to farm house
in Indiana, where quiet and rest
seemed to be assured. Close BY, how
ever, was pig sty, the presence of

PROSPERITY

Edwin Markham of New York
says: 1T is highly improbable
that this country can have anything
like business boom until the un-
completed liquidation of 1907 has
extended to land values, to the
trading and transportation indus
tries and, possibly also, to the
labor market" The acknowledge
ment here that we are still in the
midst of the business depression
that began in 1907 is Enthusiastically
true.
According to the census of 1910,
land values in the country in
creased 1873 per cent : from IL
billions to 30 billions of dollars
Inflated land values must be ad-
justed.

ROOSEVELT BOOM

The boom for Teddy is now on
and Senator Culberson of Texas
wants an investigation to ascertain
who put up the $11 100000 for
Roosevelt's election in 1904. The
senator says:
George B. Cortelyou in the
1904 campaign, while chairman of
the republican national committee
and secretary of commerce and
labor, had taken advantage of the
secrets of corporations whose
affairs might be Investigated to
procure money for the campaign.
"It has been estimated he
said, that the enormous and un-
considerable sum of $11,OOO,OO0
was raised and probably expended
that year by the committee. The
very size and audacity of this fund,
if approximately correct, smacks
of extortion, profligacy and cor
ruption.'"
No one Will dispute the fact but
that Senator Culbers on of Texas
is in position to know what he
is talking about.
Roosevelt is more daring in
carrying out corporation agree
ment than Taft as exemplifed in
the steel trust and the Hartman
Alton deals.

not meet until December after

session is called "the job session. "
