PARCELS POST

Postmaster General Hitchcock is strong
for the parcels post. He expects it to be
self supporting. Recently he gave the
following illustration to show how the
system will work out:
Rural telephones practically have
spread all the entire country, he said, 4"
and they will be used in conjunction with
the parcel post to the advantage of both
farmer and country merchant. The
housewife, finds that she is out of sugar,
she steps to her phone and orders it sent
by parcels post If the farmer breaks a
harrow or part of some farm equipment,
it will not be necessary for him to hitch
up and drive to town; be will merely step
to his pbOue anu OTd6T the noW part sent
by "P. P" The time saved will more
than compensate him for his outlay Of
stamps. I expect to see the country mer
chant advertising free delivery in their
local papers, just as bis city brothers do.
They will use the parcel post as their de-
livery wagons"

Shift for Yourself

Parents do wrong in keeping their
children hanging around home, shell
tered and enervated by parental indul-
gence. The eagle does better. 1t stirs
up its nest when the young eagles are
able to fly. They are compelled to shift
for themselves, for the old eagle literally
turns them out, and at the same time
tears all the down and feathers from the
nest. 'Tis this rude and rough ex-
perience that makes the king of birds so
fearless in his flight and so expert in the
pursuit of prey. 1t is a misfortune to be
born with silver spoon in your mouth,
for you have it to carry and plague you
all our days. Riches often hang like a
dead weight Yea, like a milestone
about the neck Of ambitious yourg men.
