mote consumers at the same price as
is charged by the government to the
man few miles away. Free trade,
they say, while not proposing any ar
tifeial stimulus by the government to.
the development of home industries
leaves such individual with the advan-.
tages nature gives him in the local
markets, which have cost him some ef-
fort to attain.
Mr.. Cowles, secretary treasurer Of
the "Postal Progress League told
the postoffice committee of the senate,
and of the house that he wants the
man of northern Maine to have the
same advantages in the markets of the
central west as those now enjoyed by.
home dealers and manufacturers situ-
ated there. Opponents of parcels post
say that such advocates seek to de-
prive them of the results of the work
of their commercial clubs and similar
organizations in promoting industrial
growth and that the natural result of
such a revolution of methods of trade
distribution would be to congregate
the factories cf the country where Ia
Dor and power are cheapest, as in the
neighborhod of Niagara Falls.
Local merchants say they are now
paying freight according to length OF
haul, they support local industries, pay
home taxes, are not seeking markets
thousands of miles away and that they
are entitled to retain those they now
have. They estimate that loss of 20
ereent of the present volume OF trAds
through parcels post would drive 70
per cent of them into bankruptcy and
disable their support of local INDUS
tries, including their local newspapers,
and their ability to extend credits.
Among those who have appeared
before the senate committee in favor
of parcels post within the past week
was w. C. Thorne, general manager of
Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago.
Frederick G. Beach, president of the
Postal Progress League, admitted !. to
the committee that Montgomery Ward
& Co. and other retail mail order
houses had contributed money literally
to support the parcels post movement.
f. W. Bloomingdale, represented
twelve retail mail order houses of New
York and some large department stores
doing a retail mail order business.
Miss Lenora 0 O'Reilly, of New York,
said that women shirt-makers of New
York contemplated establishing lSge
cooperative retail mail order business
if parcels post were enacted so they
could sell to people all over the conn~
try at small cost. She failed to 'sfate
what effects she expected for 4ew
shirt waist factories in some of s.sthe
smaller cities and towns. i.

abolition of the public dance ball and
the noodle joint and the substitution
of the supervised playground and the
neighborhood social center will be
urged by the committee appointed
this week by the Child Welfare league
to investigate conditions in Oriental
cafes and public bathrooms.
This is the statement of Mrs. w. Fl.
Page, secretary Of the league and
chairman of the committee. Continu-
ing she said:
"Why spend thousands and thous-
ands of dollars upon our high school
eauipment-the school Of the favored
few-and not one cent upon the masses
of children who never reach the high
schools The cause of their failure to
reach the high school may be lack of
physical strength to stand the mental
strain of school.
"The public dance hall and the
noodle joints must go. The school
house must be made an institution

want our boys and girls to meet for
social life. Here We want the tired
father and mother to find recreation,
relaxation and stimulus.
''Our campaign will not alone be
corrective, but preventative. 1t is not
our intention to take away the noodle
joint and the public dance hall, places
of amusement, without providing
healthy substitutes.
"We want supervised Fairgrounds
and the wider use of the schoolhouse as
n social center, without having to pay
fees to the janitor.
"This committee will be enlarged
and it will number upon it the most
progressive men and women of the

YERINGTON COPPER TO BE
EXTENSIVELY DEVELOPED

After an inspection of the Mason
Valley smelter, which he found handl-
ing about 500 tons daily and with
marked success, Captain Duncan Nc
Vichie has returned home to Salt
Lake. Relative to the New Yering-
ton Copper plans the Yerington Times
says Mr.. McVichie has been making
extensive arrangements for developing
the property. The Yerington Copper
ground is located on the east side of
the Yerington district and has been
developed to some extent already by
shaft some $50 feet in depth and
some drifting and crosscutting. The
property is now equipped with fine
gasoline hosting plant and pump
station on the flat which furnishes a
god supply of splendid water. There
are also bunk houses, blacksmith shop
and boarding house on the property,
and it will take but little work to
get everything in readiness for opera
tions. 1t is the intention of Mr.. Me-
Vichie to drop the shaft down anoth.
er 100 feet and possibly deeper and
run crosscuts on the $50 and 432foot
levels, and a new crosseut will be run
on the $50 level, making three levels
from which ore can be extracted for
shipment.
Some of the richest ore in the dis
trict has been opened up in this prop
erty, and there is considerable of it in
sight which can be shipped to the
smelter in very short order now.
This company has recently been or
ganized and has ample funds in the
treasury to do the amount of work that
has been cut out by the new manage
ment.
