ONE FAILURE FOR THE
PARCEL POST.

The parcel post system, grown
to such enormous proportions a.
to be a won der OF the business
world, has thus far failed to meet
expectations and hopes in one
respect, the bringing out of CO.
operation between the farmer and
the city man and the elimination
of the "middleman."
The amount of food products
that are shipped from the agri-
cultural districts by parcel post
was declared today by Postmas-
ter Campbell to be hardly worth
considering. Occasionally a tur-
key, few chickens, carton of
eggs or basket of grapes comes
through the mail. The parcel
post has not operated to reduce
the cost of living.
Before the parcel post becomes
medium of direct communica-
ton between the producer and
the consumer, the following
conditions must be brought "a
bout, according to Mr.. Campbell
Greater dispatch in handling
perishable goods.
Special facilities at postoffices
for loading and unloading farm
products.
Special facilities such as icin q
for protecting perishable goods.
Increased rates if special deliv-
cry of perishable goods demand
ed.
Cooperation among the far
mers in the establishment of ship
ping facilities.
Cooperation among the far
mers in establishing demand
for their products in the homes,
insuring permanent market.
Campaign of education for the
farmers in the matter of scien-
tifc packing.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE

There is a great deal of silly
talk going on about the White
Slave Traffic. Sized up in a nut
shell it is that the neglect by
parents in bringing up their
daughters is a big factor in max
ing of white slaves. Mothers are
often too busy attending clubs,
theatre and card parties to find
time to look after their own chill
dren. Many parents let their
children grow up like the weeds
in the prairie to care for and look
after themselves. White slaves
are drawn from the ranks of
those who have not been edu-
Gated to make their own way in
this world. A girl with an I'M
educated brain and unframed
hands is heavily handicapped
when she is thrown on the world
to earn her bread. The man with
an uneducated brain or untrain-
ed hands is seriously handicapp-
ed; but he can get by. Employ
ers of labor cannot pay high
wages or even fair wages to
bread-winners who are incompe-
tent. Competition is keen, and
the industrial system today calls
for the survival of the fttest,
which means the strongest and
the best trained to meet the re-
quirements of the employers in
the different fields of human en-
deavor. There are thousands of
working girls who draw small
salaries who are as virtuous as
their sisters who live in palatial
homes and array themselves in
laces and silks and adorn their
persons with costly jewels. But
society should give every boy
and girl chance. They should
be schooled by the state and if
necessary taught trades. A girl
who has never had a chance
should not be condemned if she
falls by the wayside. A boy who
has never had chance should
not be kicked in the teeth and
condemned if he happens to fall
into the ways of the criminal.
Environment and education have
vast deal to do with the mould
ing of the character of winners
in the battle of life.

MUSIC

"He that hath no music in hi.
soul,
Nor is not moved by concord
of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treason, stratagem and
spoils,
Let no man trust such a one"
Music is classed as one of the
fine arts, and who has not felt
its soothing and inspiring in
fluence. 1t has been loved, ad-
mired and practiced by all ages
in every cline and in every ma
ton. That it has a wonderful
power cannot be denied. 1t may
soothe the troubled heart with its
soft coincidence, or it may inspire
to noble and daring deeds with
its thrilling strain. From the
soft sad lullaby of the mother
as she rocks her child, busy with
the present and dreaming of the
future, to the swelling chorus of
thousand bands do we feel the
sway of its mighty influence. It
seems like a spark from the
heavenly land left by angels in
this benighted world to cheer
and comfort man, when all other
heavenly attributes were with
drawn by reason of mans dis
obedience. This alone was left
to unite earth with heaven.
Music is indeed the food of love,
and one of the ways all animated
creation shows forth their graft
tude, thankfulness and praise.
The bird as it MARBLES its sweet
melody is offering its homage to
its Creator no less than man with
bowed and Bonded knee.
Let me but furnish the songs
to people and I will mould that
people to my will. Such is its
power that the stranger wander
ing in a foreign land on hearing
strain of his native land is over
come with emotion, while tears
course down his cheeks with an
anxious longing for the home of
his youth.
What soldier has not felt the
inspiration of it's magic power,
when worn and weary from hard
marching, loss of sleep, drenched
with rain, suffering with hunger,
furnishing for water, who as he
struggled along under all these
difficulties, could scarcely drag
one foot after the other; let the
band strike up a martial strain :;
in an instant he is changed be-
ing, all his hardships are forgot
ten. 1t puts new life and
strength into his weary limbs,
and Strengthening himself up he
steps to the measured beat as
though he had arisen from a
nights refreshing sleep.
Let us cultivate music in every
way that we can, it is refining
and ennobling in its effects, tears
down our baser passions and
brings to the surface our better
nature. 1t should be ingrafted in
our common schools and taught
as science. Also should the
stars and stripes float from every
school house in the land.
"Oh, sing once more that simple
air,
For thought of youth still haunts
its strain,
Like dreams of some far fairy
shore,
We're never to see again"
