The rural route parcels post service
will be a convenience to a great many
people. Those living in the farming
districts will undoubtedly order many
an article from the stores which. under
present conditions. they cannot get
until they find time to 60 to town and
then perhaps the need is past and the
article not purchased. While a few
farmers along each route are now served
by the star route service, no regular
routes have been established in Stark
county and it would seem that the Com
mercial Clubs of Dickinson. Belfeld.
Gladstone. Taylor and Richardton should
get busy along these lines and secure
the trade that is riehtfully theirs but
now in TOO many instances going to
Montgomery Ward & Co. OF some other
outside house.

At the age of Is people are eligible
10 file ON homesteads in Canada. and
some argue that. the law in the United
States should be changed 80 that our
young men could homestead at the age
of Is instead of ri years as at present.
1t is a good thing to try and keep the
young men from goine into Canada fol
land, but it does not really seem as
though it would make much difference
now. The best of our land is taken and
it is only a little of the culled ove1
territory that is still inappropriate.
