The car of animals that were sched-
uled to pass through Las Vegas at
noon today passed through at 1O:30
o'clock this morning. The animals in
the car consisted of one elephant and
two camels. The other animals that
were supposed to be with these made
no appearance. A number of Las We
gans went to the Santa Fe depot this
noon with the expectation of seeing
the car and were disappointed to find
that the train carrying the brutes had
passed through early this morning.

An argument started this week by
a local citizen in regard to the right
that rural mail carriers have over
the average pedestrian on the public
roads brought to light the fact this
morning that rural carriers have no
more right to take all the road in a
case of passing another vehicle than
any other person. 1t seems that a
local business man while on fish
ing trip was met on the road by one
of these carriers and that the carrier
refused to give any part of the road
for him to pass. Postmaster f. o.
Blood this morning announced that a
carrier has no specified right to do
this as the postal law contains no
statement that rural carriers have
the right Of all roads, but no person
should delay the mail by not giving
half the road.
LIFTING 4 STREAM TO THE FARM
Out in a certain section of the rar
west, where the rainfall is very scant
during the growing season and some
form Of irrigation absolutely neces-
sary, farmer uses an electric motor
to raise the water from a nearby
creek to the surface Of his farm. The
motor is one that was purchased to
operate an ensilage cutter, barley
crusher and to do other work about
the farm. This farm motor is mounted
on heavy truck so it can be readily
hauled from place to place about the
farm where its services are needed.
Connections are made, at suitable
points, with an overhead transmits
sion line, by long, flexible caDle.
Electricity is secured from a nearby
central distribution station which
makes a practice of supplying cleo
tric current to farmers in that sec
tion When it is desirable to irrigate
the fields the motor wagon is backed
up to the bank of the stream and
belted to a six-inch centrifugal pump
which raises the water from the
stream level to the irrigation canals.

Radical Changes in Parcels
Post.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has announced its approval of far-reach-
ing extension in the parcels post service.
which Postmaster General Burleson will
put into operation on January l, 1914,
when the Governments pony express"
will celebrate its birthday.
The extension embraces an increase
on the weight limit on packages in the
LIST and % zones, $50 mile airline dis
tances from Richmond, or shipping
points, from 20 to so pounds; increase in
the weight limit throughout the whole
country from IL to 20 pounds, and a
big slash from 80 to 10 per cent. in the
rates in the Sd to 9th zones. Another
extension includes the admission of
books to parcels post. This extension
will not be put into operation until Mar.
l6, 1914
There is no change in the rates for the
first two zones. in which the present low
rates of 5 cents for the first pound and
1-2 cent and ! cent for each addition
pound prevails.
The change affecting this zone is in
the weight limit, which is raised from
20 to 80 pounds. Under the extension a
50-pound package can be shipped from
Richmond to point approximately 225
railroad miles distant for "a cents, where.
as the express rate would be around 81
or 81 %.

The "Spu2s."

There has been organized throughout
the country society called ''The Socie-
BY for the Prevention of Useless Giving"
Naturally, some newspaper wag has now
shortened the name to ''Spug" and the
name sticks The organization is nation
wide and its purpose is TO discourage the
useless giving of useless Christmas, we'd
ding and birthday presents. The object
is quite worthy one and the sentiment
should be taken up all over the country.
We notice where the Presidents wife
and daughters have joined the 'Spugs"
and there is no reason why you should
not.
We can clearly understand why the
interchange OF gifts between members
of ones family at anniversaries might
be just tribute to kindred, but where
it is considered obligatory to send gift
to every bride who sends you an invita-
tion, or to bestow Christmas presents to
your friends on the anniversary of the
birth of the Master, then indeed it is
time to call halt and for the "Spugs"
to get in their work. We are for the
"Spugs."

Why Advertise At All?

II is well first of all to know what ad-
vertising really is. Advertising has
been defined as publicly announcing a
fact and has further been defined as
salesmanship on paper. While both of
these are more or less true. advertising
Is nothing but the giving Of business
news for the purpose of creating a new
want or supplying an existing want. 1t
is readily seen that there is no limit to
the accomplishment Of good advertising,
as there is no limit TO the wants already
created or that might be created. The
merchant is dead who does not realize
that there are starving millions who are
waiting for him to satisfy their wants or
create new wants. This advertising idea
to create new wants and satisfy existing
wants is no new thing. as the Egyptians
used hand bills and posters made of pap
yrus 1900 years ago.
Printing was invented less than 500
years ago, and the newspapers were then
started Soon afterwards advertising
became associated with printing. The
advertising idea originated over 80 GEN.
turtles ago. Some present day mer-
chants haven't got the idea yet. With
present day opportunities to advertise,
there is no limit to what one may ac-
complish in business lines. The local
merchant may easily double his local
business. He has through the local pa
per wonderfully cheap way to gain
publicity. There is no newspaper read
like the local paper, especially by the
womeD, and the women do over 80 per
cent. Of the shopping.
