EGGS BY MAIL

Live chickens, day old chickens"
eggs and other fragile objects as we'll
as general farm and garden products
will be added to the parcels post along
with other merchandise, when it is in
stituted the first of January, says a
Washington dispatch.
The schedule is to be so arranged
that city jewellers may get fresh eggs
and butter, chickens and other pro
duce direct from the farmer by mail.
This will be an important feature of
the parcels post. Eggs and chickens
and produce are carried by the posts
of European nations, and the same
conditions will apply here. Not only
will the government carry these things
but an indemnity will be provided for
their loss or damage in transit.
Poultry dealers have sent statistics
to the department showing how eggs
and chickens may be handled and car
ried. This is particularly true OF the
"day-old chick" distributors to who
run the biggest ~hatcheries in the coun-
try. A big business in these day old
chickens has sprung up throughout
the country.
Eggs are set in incubators having a
capacity of as many as 100,0 900 eggs.
The day the chicks are Matched they
are shipped. In this condition they
can go four days in transit without
food or drink, and poultry dealers
ship chicks instead of G G to the
fanciers and small raisers.
The receipts of country butter and
eggs by mail no doubt will prove an
interesting novelty for housewives. In
addition they may send to gardeners
an order early in the week and get on
Saturday in return mail their supply
or vegetables and other table stuff.
Not only is provision being made for
the handling of these things, but it is
expected a C. o. d. system will be ar,
ranged for the merchants cost as well
as the mail charges, thereby furnishing
a cash collection agency for the farm
ers.

A BOY

Sioux City boys are jubilant. The
superintendent of city schools has
issued orders against any kind Of cor
poral punishment. Hereafter the
schoolma'am will talk feelingly to
Johnny and endeavor to stir the secret
recesses of his soul instead of stirring
other sections with a paddle or a Sec
ton of rubber hose.
Huh. Maybe it will work. It's a
long time since you and | were boys
and perhaps times have changed. But
oh, we'll perhaps it will work out all
right. Let EN- try it.

name was Bull" He sat on the right
side up pretty we'll to the front. Bull
was big and brutal enough to acquire
his nickname honestly. 1t took seven,
teen others to keen him from making
an entirely new set of rules for each
ball game. He refused to be "out" be
cause he was bigger than the umpire
Although Bull was an unlovely char
acter in school, and his later residence
in the penitentiary. where he was SEN
for stealing hogs, hasn't improved
him. Perhaps it might have been pos
sible to touch Bulls" heart by con
~versation, but the only plan the prin
cipal found at all effective was a swift,
session Of about six minutes after
school. 1t was good for Bull" and 70,
the small boys who listened outside
with glad and thankful hearts. Bull
was decent in school and out for ter
days afterwards.
Then there was "Wishbone" Waters
Sneaking, tale bearing. mischief max,

licking did him an amazing good. When
Old Blank took the school he damned
a lot Of manhood into "Wishbone.'

springs of action which he wal physi

The republican party is committed
to the proposition that the majority Of
the republicans voting to elect a dele
gate or candidate for office, has the
power 10 instruct that delegate or
candidate, and such delegate or candi-
date, is in honor bound to obey such
instructions.
This principle was laid down by
Abraham Lincoln when he affirmed
that this was a government "of the
people" These electors are elected
by the republicans of the state-not
by the republicans of the county or
the republicans outside OF the state
and the republicans Of this state
alone. have the power to instruct
them.
To the republicans of this state we
offer to submit the question upon a
separate ballot, OF who they desire
for president and we will be bound
by it.

YOU will aid us in submitting this
question to the vote of the people?
Second, will you be bound by this vote

WISE, HUMANE AND JUST

Under it's initiative AID referendum
law Colorado will vote upon a pro-
posed measure providing for cash sub
sides from the state to mothers who
children to support. Back of the
measure are Judge Ben Lindsey, prom
inent clubwomen and various charita-
BILE and ocial-betterment organiza-
tons.
The proposed appeals to humanity
as a worthy one. The mothers Of the
race perform not only a vitality in
dispensable and Justly sacred function
in bringing children into the world
and nurtur,ng them during their ten
der years, but, from a coldly material
istic viewpoint, they give the state
and organized society the very highest
service in bearing and training chill
dren for good citizenship. Strip moth
erhood of all sentimentality, yet its
function is tremendously vital to the
perpetuation and welfare of the hui
man race.
When the soldier enlists for a war
in defense of his country, offering his
services, and his life if need be, he is
in a measure compensated by pensions
from a grateful government upon con-
clusion of his military service. This
is right and just. The mother, who
passes through the valley of the shad-
ow to give birth to a child, also Is Of
/ fering her life. If need be, in a service
no less patriotic than that Of the SOL
der. When her child is born she sur
renders other considerations, subordi-
mates all other activities to caring for
her offspring and rearing it whole
somely in order that it may become a
good and useful member of society. II
in the midst Of the performance of this
vital duty to the state and to society
| the mother is bereft of her husband,
her natural protector and provider for
herself and children, she should not
be left to struggle alone with the
double burden of home-making and
bread-winning. Tho state should step
in and say to that mother: You are
