Frank Curry, formerly of this city
now residing at jefferson City, has
accepted the position of manager of
the Neihoff Wholesale Grocery Co.
of Jefferson City. Mr.. Curry, who
grew up in the railroad business
went to jefferson City some years
ago in the employ of the Missouri
Pacific railway and during his SER
vice with that company achieved the
enviable reputation Of being one of
the best men in the service. At the
time of his resignation to accept his
present position, he was local agent
for the company in that city. The
Nichoff Company at jefferson City is
one of three big branches Of that
Company and was established there
several years ago.

The Parcel Post

The question now confronts US. To
what use can the parcel post be put !?
There has been good deal of optimistic
talk about it's reducing the cost of liv-
ing. The possibility of having a dozen
eggs delivered to you by it directly from
the farmer has been favorite subject
for pleasing discussion. Undoubtedly
eggs can be bought and transported in
this way. Whether they will or not is
another question
The best way of Judging the value of
the service, perhaps, is to note how 1t is
used elsewhere. In Germany and Eng
land this use is very commonplace. The
operation of the system has not brought
about any marked revolution IN the ways
of the purchaser. 1t has neither dis
turbed the even tenor of life nor eradi-
Gated the middeman, nor put the small
store out of business. But it is a con-
slant convenience: simply because II
makes expressage cheaper ana easier
Just exactly how many more express
packages the average American family
would receive or send in a year, were
the rates not prohibitive for merchan-
disc of little value and the red tape OF
sending cumbersome, is a matter OF
guesswork. But it is safe to say that

kkT WONDER when that Suez Of

that it would be a fine thing to go to
Panama and live near a canal. where
you could sit in the window when you
was having your breakfast and look out
at lot of nice water, just like the

has an artistic temperament, like all

shoes, doesn't make no hit with a man

spiel" said the Head Barber. Il would
think that you would go to night school
for a little while this winter, kiddo,
and study your arithmetic; it tells you
all about them strange lands and coun-
tries"
IT doesn't So" said the Manicure
Lady. You are thinking of geometry.
Geometry is the study that tells you
about strange lands and countries. But
what's the difference? l hate to quar-
rel with you this morning George, be-
cause l can tell from that little dent on

so much, we've got running water right

What movements should women

The most vital is that of living

week that a girl must have to live on,
is the difference between right and

direction would force employers to pay
living wages.
Women could throw their powerful
influence in the scales for trade

that even in the domestic field there
would be no unsklled labor. They
could work for vocational schools and
for compulsory training in some

How can they throw this influence
in the scale as you suggest"
by working for it in their club or

purpose. Organization is power, and
