He Made Sure.

A story is told of the Sudan rail-
way which shows patient literalness.
To an official there came the telegram
from an outlying station: station
master has died Shall | bury him?"
The reply WAS sent; Yes; bury sta
ton master. but please make sure he
is really dead before YOU do So" In
due time back came the message;
Have buried station master Made
sure he was dead by hitting him twice
on the head With II fish plate" There
was perfect assurance that there had
been no premature burial.

PARCEL POST OF GREAT BENEFIT

The newspapers devoting large volume of space
to the newly naugurated parcel post SYSTEM and very
rightly
The Importance of the subject to the papers and to
the people can hardly be over-estimated The parcel
post important to the public the telegraph
and the telephone and it is the duty of the papers to
popularize its in every legitimate way.
Months ago opposed the parcel post, alleging
that would benefit the giant mail order houses the
expense of the local merchants Arthur Brisbane was
the first expose the fallacy of such an argument
He demonstrated how the local merchant could compete
successfully against the mail order houses ONLY BY
THE AID OF PARCEL POST and we are happy to
state that practically all of the newspapers that origin
ally objected to the system of distribution are con-
verified to its support.
The business and consequently the wealth of your
community will be increased by parcel post Producers
send direct to consumers without the
high charges Of the past If the wife of Farmer Jones
desires frying pan she does not have harness Dobbn
and drive to the store All she has do is drop
postal in the mall and resto!-in day two the
frying pan is delivered at her door with only few
cents cost for transportation.
Anything that renders communication and trans
portaton easy is pronounced benefit to the public.
Civilization has been advanced much by roads by
books. Take any country where extensive intercom-
muncaton prevails and you will find educated alert peo
pie Up in the polar regions and down in the African
ungles where settlements isolated, you find deep
est ignorance prevailing and business consists of bar
tering yam dried fish for a ring piece
of bubber.
And the parcel post is the road which the pro-
fits of the general producer will travel in future. By
advertising i'll the papers the local merchants will be-
the distributors of millions of dollars worth of
q could
at profit because of the transportation charges.
Thus also will the papers be benefited
Most of the $500 900 900 received annually by the
mail order houses can be distributed among the local
merchants if they grasp the opportunity offered
