kering that has been done. The solid South ought
to be broken up, but it should be disrupted in the
only effective way in which it can be dismembered-
by the intelligence OF the voters themselves, who
must some time realize the folly of voting, decade

sake Of perpetuating the ~prejudices OF a struggle
that has been over for half a century.

The Parcel Post and the II. c. OIL.

a ~ . - ~ss~ ~ ~ 10 .#-
The postmaster of Chicago says that the parcel
post has failed to meet expectations in one respect,
because 1T has not eliminated the middleman.'
Nobody, probably, expected that the parcel post
would automatically eliminate the middleman alto
gether. Maybe his complete elimination never will
ducer to consumer, and If it's effect is not felt in the
cost of living. that is simply because the producer
and the consumer have not yet learned to use it.
Butter, eggs, poultry, yegetables--nany food arti-
cles that leave the producer in the form in which
the consumer buys them-can easily be sent from

The True Christmas Shirt

Christmas is@almost here. In millions Of homes
the world o~ver,2thc natal day Of the Saviour will be
joyously celebrated. It is the one glorious day of
the year when everyone should forget his worries
and cares andssbe happy. Especially, the children
should be made happy. For weeks the windows of
the stores have been filled with tempting displays OF
toys and other things that are so precious to the
hearts OF children. AT any hour of the day the little
tots can be seen, their eager little faces pressed
against the windows, feasting their eyes on the treas
ures within.
1t is the parents greatest delight to bring Joy to
the hearts Of their little ones by seeing to it that
they are remembered by Santa Claus on Christmas
Eve. But there, are many parents who cannot give
their children this Christmas cheer on account Of
poverty. To them Christmas often brings q feeling
of despair, and not of %gladness. 1t is then, to para
phrase the poet, Gray, that chill Ipenury freezes the
genial current of their souls. There are thousands
OF boys and girls in this great and rich country of
ours who hear about Santa Claus and who will won.
der why he has forgotten them. There are boys and
girls like that in Bismarck. Let us all help to
radiate Christmas sunshine into the homes of those
who are in need. Let US try to make all children
happy. That is the true Christmas spirit.

Gathered by the farmer and sold to the

sion house at q profit.
Sold by the commission house to a cold
storage operator at aFprott.
Sold by the cold storage operator to "a mar.
ket man at a profit.
Sold by the market man to the, ultimate
consumer at a profit.
Four middlemen and four profits stand be.
tween the grower and the consumer-and OF
course the grower gets too little and the
consumer pays too much.
The simple way" says the postmaster general
lis for the farmer to ship his eggs direct to the con
sumer in small Lots, and divide the four profits be
tween them. The eggs would be fresh, and the profit
to the farmer and the consumer would be very large
And this can be done by the parcel post, not only
with eggs, but with many other food products.
The producer must learn to use the parcel post.
and the consumer must meet him halfway @s 4.
Says the St. Louis Republic: Let the producer
who can deliver good material at prices twenty-five
per cent higher than he is getting today tell the
consumer where he lives, and he will find the world
will beat a path to his door
If the farmer will grade his eggs, pack them in
suitable cartons, holding suitable quantities, and ship
them directly to the consumer he will relieve both
himself and the consumer from the burden Of sup
porting m%iddlemen, and both will live happily ever
after. When the farmer learns the knack of packing
a weeks supply of vegetables in a hamper and ship
ping it by parcel post to the consumer, he will have
dealt still another blow at the middleman.-Duluth
Herald.
