Making Use of Parcel Post.

barn fork was in parcel received at the Alex.
andria postoce 1t did not from catalogue house
It ordered through local dealer Evidently Alex
andria is catching It's merchants are getting WISE
says the Duluth News.Trbune
With the parcel post. the country merchant can
beat any catalogue house on earth All he has to do is
the local newspaper and show his patrons what he
has, The great trouble with the country merchants has
been lack of appreciation of the value of advertising
the catalogue house has never made this mistake
No merchant who has used the local papers inter.
gently who has told the people what the catalogue houses
tell Them has had complain of lack of BUSH
ness.
The catalogue tells its story family or possibly
to two three The country newspaper goes to thou
sand to two three thousand families If the mer-
chant tells bis story attractvely plainly wisely all of
these will read it. But be must tell them what they
want to know This is that John Smith is dealer
in staple and fancy groceries, nor Sin drygoods and
notions nor ''shef hardware and all kinds Of farm
machinery
what the buyer wants is prices and then more
prices if there is bargain, he waiting for it, if there
clearance sale he IS ready to invest and save money
II it is something they are interested and will want
to see IT. II it has special is time or money saver
this is the thing to tell Always tell what is readable
and has actual value.
Newspaper advertising money so do catalogues
and IN comparison the former far the cheaper With
1t and the fact that telephone or mail order secures inn
mediate delivery that the merchant is there to make
good all mistakes, the parcel post does the rest
Any country merchant who having this new convent
ence lets catalogue house beat him not wise to his
advantages. He is his customers he has better
agencies of publicity he is there answer for all his
saes ne has less overhead charge and if he can't sell
as cheap as catalogue house he sell as cheap
any of them do for their profit margin not close and
many buyer who patronzes them wishes he hadn't.

StarIinus Cause of Bio Fire.

How flock Of starlngs set fire to
a small town In Nuremberg is told
In the German Electrotechnical Re-
view. The town Is lighted by electri-
city, and one evening there was a SER
les OF explosions; most of the fuses
blew out and the people ran out of
their homes, some of which were burn
ed to the ground. 1t was some time
before the true cause was ascertained.
1t happened thus A hawk had been
chasing flock Of starlings which had
sought refuge In a corner Of the pow
er house and had crowded together
In terror between the overhead high
tension wires and lightning conduc-
tor. Thus short circuit was estab-
lished, which would not have had sc.
rious consequences had not the ground
been In an extremely dry and parched
condition. The absence of moisture in
the soil put the earth connection out of
action, and the current had therefore
to seek another outlet, with the result
stated. 1t was not until a little heap
of carbonlzed starlngs and an cleo
trocuted hawk were found on the spot
that the mystery was cleared up.

snow-covered objects representing his
sister and pony and cutter. The
train left the city on time, but lost two
hours bucking the snow drifts. No
sister, no pony, no cutter to greet him
when he at length arrived! No hotel
at the country station, and it was
against orders to permit suspicious
persons to pass the night in the wait
ing room. 1t was therefore Fred for
home; and sometime before midnight
he got there. 1t was to find that the
pony had arrived an hour before him,
dragging the cutter on its side and car
rying great hump Of the fleecy on its
back and the mother walking the floor
and wringing her hands.
"She's been tipped over in some
drift and is freezing to DEATH" was
the wall.
Brother Fred should have stun
bled over the victim If she had kept
to the road, but as he hadn't he had
to take it that his sister had stag
gered aside before falling. OF course
he must return over the road. The
pony was brought out to face the
storm again, the whip vigorously ap-
piled and the search for a freezing or
frozen girl was on.
AS the pony made his slow way
through the drifts the brother had
time to wonder what frozen sister
would look like. Would she begin to
freeze at her ears or her toes first?
Would there be smile on her face or a
look Of terror? Would her hands be fold
