VIII Carry Packages at Cost

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmast ster-
general, who has been working on
plans for the past month, was asked
by the writer what effect the inau-
guration of this system would have
upon the cost of living.
parcels post undoubtedly will ma
terially reduce the cost Of living in
the United States" was the answer
Il believe that because the new sJ.-
tenn will offer a cheaper means of
transportation for all sorts of mer-
chandise within the limit of weight-11
pounds. The government will carry
this matter practically at cost. Of
course, you understand that all private
express business must be conducted at
a profit. Now all this profit must come
from the people of the United States
They must pay not only the cost of
transportation, but something over, so
that the business will yield dividend
to the stockholders Of the company.
With the new system, however, the
lower rates will enable sellers to make
lower prices, and in this way it will
be great factor in reducing the cost
of living. The people will do their
own express business under the new
system, instead of paying others to
do it.
Another thing, the Inauguration of
parcels post will have the general ef-
feet of making country life more at
tractive. There will be added facili-
ties, and by just so much the advan-
tage of the city over the farm will
be reduced. In this way it will add
in checking the flow of people from
farm life to city life, which has been
great weight, and one that all think
ing people should consider, is that the
more attractive we make farm life the
more people will engage in agricul-
tural pursuits. There is another side
to the questionable cost Of labor. The
life being more attractive, farm help
will not be so hard to secure
"A very important thing to remem-
Der also is the fact that any develop
ment of the postal service always has
the effect Of improving the roads Of
the country, and this in turn must in
evitably react to the benefit of the

SQUATTERS ARE RELEASED

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.-The promise
of seven squatters on government lana
in the Palo Verde valley to make no
trouble until their claim is decided by
law, and the resignation of Justice
Moore of Blythe, Riverside county, whL
issued an order restraining P. ]. Bod
kin and j. NJ. Ocheltree from entering
upon the land occupied by the squat
ters, has apparently smoothed over
what appeared to be a serious situa-
ton.
William B. Edwards, Robert L. Gull
pepper, G. E. Wells, William Wells,
John McLarren, Oscar Clayton and
Benjamin White, who have been
squatters on the land in question for
some years, were charged by Bodkin
and Ocheltree with making threats and
were arrested by the United States
marshal, following the order of Justice
Moore against Bodkin and Ocheltree
They were released from Jail yesterday
upon their promise to keep the peace,
States District Attorney Robinson and
G. w. Helm, chief of field service of the
local land office.
Briefly, the men had squatted on the
land, later filed homestead claims, but
failed to push their improvements Oh
account of the impossibility of getting
water. Later, still when an irrigation
system came in sight, they began i'm
provements, but meantime Bodkin and
Orcheltree had entered contests against
them, and seemed to have been award
ed the land by the land office, but when
they went to take possession they were
warned off by the squatters. Thus the
trouble resulted between the two fac
tions.
Before their release the seven prison
ers were lectured by Robinson, who
told them that the highest authority of
the federal government had decreed
the land to belong to others, and they
must cease making threats against
those whose titles have been confirmed
Edwards posted a notice on the lana
he is occupying. but which has been
won by Bodkin in the contest proceed

possession on manufactured evidence,

/ "On last Monday, a Model '2S'

the inspector of buildings and

"The government invited all the

TO CURE COLDS d D;
Don't Neglect a Cold, Ely's Cream
Balm Will Stop it in the
Sneezing Stage.

A cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrb
and throat troubles in others. A cold
is due to an Inflammation of the
membrane lining the air passages,
and may be promptly cured with a
little Ely's Cream Balm, which i'm
mediately relieves the Inflammation
and all the distressing symptoms,
such as sneezing, coughing, running
at the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore
throat, fever and headache. One rea-
son why this pure. antiseptic Balm
acts so quickly is because it is ap-
piled directly to the tender, sore sur
face. >e-~
Even in severe, chronic cases of
catarrh Ely's Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing of
the nose. This remedy not only
drives out the disease, but heals and
strengthens the weakened men,
branes, thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with it another
day. Get so cent bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist to-
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be relieved.
