A Farmer Who Orders His Dinner
BY Parcel Post.

A farmer, writing about the par
eel post in the current issue of Farm
,and Ftreside, says:
"The parcel post is something for
the farmer to rejoice over. For once
We are ahead of our brothers in the
city. They must go to the postoffice
or postal station to mail their
packages, while we can do 1t through
our rural carrier, with only step
to the road. This has enabled me,
here in Vermont, to get individual
customers fifty miles away, and ship
direct. l can send them five-pound
box of butter for seventeen cents.
Now l have list of customers
who like fresh farm produce and
are willing to pay accordingly. I
can drop them a line telling them
of the articles ! have for sale, and
when orders are received send all
articles under ten pounds by parcel
post. over that, / find express
cheaper; can send ten pounds of
maple sugar to Chicago for thirty
five cents. II I sent the same by
parcel post 1t would cost me seventy
nine cents.
Another way l have used the par
eel post is in the saving of the farm
team and the time of man. Need
ing some extra provisions for dinner,
l telephoned my meat man for four
pounds of beer steak to be sent out
by parcel post. The meat was de-
livered to me by eleven o'clock with
a charge Of only fourteen cents.
81 have come to the conclusion
that the parcel post is only OF bene-
tit to farmers for small shipments
and short distances. For long dis
tances, especially on large packages,
express rates are cheaper. But al
together, facilities for shipping are
now much better than before we
had parcel post"

Senior Play Something Different
From Usual Thing.

The senior play this year at the
sselye May 2St is wide departure
from the usual high school type of
play. 1t is an authorized dramatiza-
ton of 1.-THE Price of the Prairie"
written by Mrs. Margaret Hill Nc
Carter of Topeka. The book is no
doubt familiar to many people Of
the community. 1t deals with life
in the Kansas town in the early
days of the territory. The Indians
are still a source of trouble. The
men of the community are leaving
for the war. An Indian outbreak in
what is now Saline county figures in
the plot of the play. The play is an
extremely interesting one from all
points of view.
The cast of the play is unusually
good. Many of the members of it
demonstrated their ability in this
form OF work in the shakesperian
entertainment some months ago. The
school promises to all who attend
a most interesting entertainment.
There will be the usual short
German play as a curtain-raiser to
the play OF the occasion. Prices will
be Csc. 55c and soc. Tickets win

THE ANoL0.sAxoN BOND.
700 Years Peace Between The Eng
: ish Speaking People.


i Lately there has been much bis
| talk and pointing with pride con,
corning the proposed celebration Of
hundred years Of peace between the
English speaking peoples OF the
world. Although English is the
most widespread language, the Eng
disappearing nations are few in
number: the Unitet States and
Great Britain with her white DOM
Unions over seas. But there are con-
siderable countries In area and pop
ulation, and century Of peace be-
tween them is worthy of celebration.
Particularly when one was born of
the other in a seven-year war mark
ed by bitterness and cruelty; even
savagry in part. And yet for all
that early fighting. there may be
something in the tie of blood which
binds US to the one-time mother
country That there is the longest
national boundary lying unguarded
between America and Canada also
makes this extended tranquility more
notable. Y
And yet, barking back to that
call of the blood before mentioned,
while this is an English-speaking ma
ton, 1t has such polygot popula-
tion that there must be another rea-
son that the tie which binds the
Anglo-Saxon friendship. So many
have come here from other shores;
Teuton, Latins, Slavs, Celts, Scan
danavians and what that there is
no community in this land but harks
back to more than one European |
country as fatherland or mother
country. Which makes 1t seem fool
ish for an alarmist to say that this
proposed peace celebration is likely
to be in the nature of an alliance
with Great Britain which shall be
against the interests Of Germany or
other nation with another native
tongue.
There is no power OF Europe but
has contributed its share to our
melting pot, and If blood kinship
made for peace between nations our
peace with the whole Caucasian
world would rest secure. Another
actor is needed in the explanation.
t Is common sense. 1t is sensible,
or instance, that the United States
Ind Canada do not maintain navies
IN the great lakes, nor military posts
o guard the longer land border. A
simple agreement that neither shall
such forces saves both the
Expense Of maintenance.
And there Is no reason, while 4
here may be excuses aplenty, why
he other nations of the world
houldn't get along ON the same
,asis, A suggestion that America
md Great Britain agree in advance K
o arbftrate differences is just as
pplicable to the rest Of the world,
nd It Is very good suggestion.
