THE PARCELS POST

In these progressive days one 81
the greatest needs OF the people is
The parcels post, against which
there is strong opposition by ttIe ex-
press companies and the railways
having a moneyed interest in the
stock Of the express companies.
This opposition should strengthen
the people in their determination
I'd secure the parcels post system,
which must be enacted into service
by Congress.
The enactment of the parcels post
service will be delayed indefinitely
unless the people shall manifest a
lively interest therein, dnd
This can be made Elective by letters
from The people TO their representa-
lives in Congress.
A post card will answer, but the
people should and must persist in
the demand for the parcels post ser
vice.
This service is on The line of pro-
gressiveness.
II is needed by The people.

The Smallest Armies.

IL ever the dream of the disarma
ment of the world shall be realized
there are several countries that would
not, have much to do In this lineas.
for instance, Monaco. whose army con-
sists of seventy-fve guards. seventy
five carabineers and twenty fremen,
The next smallest army is that of
Luxembourg. with its 135 gendarmes,
ITO volunteers and thirty musicians.
In the republic of San Afarino they
can put in the field total of nine
companies OF $50 men and thirty eight
officers, commanded by marshal.
The army on a peace footing consists
of one company Of sixty men. The
most amusing of all the armies 7
however, is that of Liberia. That
country's fighting force is composed of
100 men and 800 officers. but the latter
are evidently deemed very terrible by
their own government since the re-
public issues prociamations of neutral
ity when wars break out between any
of the powers.

GOOD ROADS

X is not possible to overestimate
the advantages which can be real
lied from good roads and therefore
Tho development and The steady in
ereasing interest in good roads is
simply the sequence of the needs
of today.
In comparative sense the costs
attending The construction and
maintainance of good roads is of lit
tie consequence when counteracted
with The substantial benefits
from which the tiIler OF the soil and
tile residents of towns and cities
derive profit il moi directly, at least
incidentally
Good roads in tle country are as
good streets in towns and cities and
The day has been reached when the
country must have good roads.
In this line of progress Gaddo
Parish is reaching out. for good
roads for which a tax is to be lev
led on all taxable property in the
parish.
This tax must be carried at The

Claim They Can "erow" Meat.

Artificial production of food by mere
ly chemical processes has always been
a dream of the scientific man. A re-
cent discovery brings this within the
possibilities, provided the chemist Is
allowed an organic cell to start with.
Professor w. III. Lewis and his wife
of Johns Hopkins are reported to have
caused cellular substances TO grow In
definitely outside of the organisms TO
which they originally belonged. DR.,
Lewis now suggests that this may en-
able men to grow" meat on a com
mercial scale. A commentator says:
"What DR.. Lewis and his wife claim to
have actually accomplished is this;
They have. taken pieces of chicken,
placed them in a saline solution and
grown chicken meat. They have dis
covered that it is possible to cut off
some of this chicken meat without hin
dering further growth, and the process
can be repeated indefinitely. They also
claim that the process can be applied
to aEy kind of flesh. Chicago News

MINOR FORM OF PUNISHMENT
Secretary Meyer Commends Deten-
ton Plan for Often dinor co;lor.

The detention system of punishment for
naval offenses, which has now been in
operation more than = year at Port Row
al, ;. G., and Puget sound. Wash, il
said to have produced gratifying results
in the annual report of Secretary Meyer.
The underlying principle is to avoid de-
grading sailors who have been guilty of
merely technical military offenses not
involving moral turpitude or the viola
ton of the general laws of the country.
That is accomplished by combining that
class Of offenders in disciplinary bar
racks. which are really correctional
schools. where the men are allowed to
wear the navy uniform and find their
punishment principally in the severe rou-
tine Of drills and useful work.
Aside from the help given the individ-
uaI the detention system, which OPP
crates to reform naval offenders who for
merry were dishonorably discharged ac-
complished a financial saving to the gov
eminent. which is put to considerable
expense to enlist and equip recruits

DOG PROVES CHAMPION
!, AS A HUSKER OF CORN
Scotch Collie Has Hundreds Of
Bushels to His Credit on
Farm in Missouri.

STRAWBERRY, Mo-, November 23.-S.
is the owner of a Scotch collie dog which,
he highly values because he is a good
corn husler. The animal will go out in
the field with Mr.. Aliens employees and
keep up with many of them. When the
season opened this year the dog followed
the wagon to the field and with apparent
interest watched the process of husl1ng.
Finally, the animal ran to one of the corn
stalks and, standing on his hind feet,
pulled down the stalk. grabbed the ear
and broke it off with his teeth.
With teeth and forepaw he husked the
ear and then ran and handed it to his
master to be thrown into the wagon.
Highly pleased with his first efforts, the
animal ran to another stalk and repeated
the operation again and again.
Claws Are Wearing Down.
The dog is a year and half old and
this season Allen says he has husked
many bushels of corn. Only one trouble
has arisen-the animals claws are be-
ginning to wear down from the husking,
and Mr.. Allen is considering fastening a
husldng pin on the front feet.
Mr.. Allen declares the dog is more valu-
able than many regular corn husker,
as he can't give any back talk and does
not look UP at the every few minutes
to see if it is about time for the dinner
horn.
