The Parcel Post and Public Morals.

The parcel post service has now been
in operation nine months. For the first
six months the department figures an in
crease of income fom this business of
81, ,0O00OO in round figures, very large
part of which is net profit
A part of this profit his been made at
the expense of the express companies,
which perhaps deserve no symp sthy just
now because of their notorious attitude
toward the public in tlepast. Most of it
has been made by inhicting positive
loss upon the railroads. in two wavs.
They have lost the revenue which the
express companies divide with them;
and they have been required to do lot
of work for which they have not been
paid at ALL and will not he, unless Con-
gress should pass a relief bill.

That Road Maker.

There never has been better il
lustralon OF what machine can do
in the way OF building roads, espec-
tally in rough country, than that
made, or being made now, by the
Pioneer road maker, in the hills
south of Versailles. For years we
have felt the need of better roads
south, but the undertaking seemed
SO heavy, with our road making APP
pliances, that we have hesilated and
been hesitatlng for twenty-five years.
However it seems we need delay no
longer, if we are willing to open our
pocketbooks and put some cash into
a machine that will really do the
work. When the machine came in,
those controlling it said to our pco-
pie, "Give us the hardest piece of
road you can pick out" 1t was de-
cided to put them at work on one
mile of the road going out of YER
sailles on the southeast, reaching
Just below where the new county farm
home will be located. Almost every
one knows what this road is. in fact
it is everything that is hard. No
number of teams could pillow it and
for years it has been sort OF an eye

this machine went to work and the
change wrought in hall dav was not

rather marvellous. Nothing seemed

be termed blg harrow, which

This was followed up by three heavy
graders, all pulled at once, which

is, build mile of road in any kind

of operating the machine will run
from thirty to forty dollars day an d

Chamber of Commerce Column

Yes or no?
Can answer yes to these
questions or can | not?
Ii not, why not?

Who's responsible!
Isn't this town equal TO the
sum of all its parts?
Am | not a part? Just as
much a partner as Jones is?
You bet
Then who's responsible? | am.
This feeling OF responsibility
can not be too keen. The other
day. when the effort was being
made to get a large number to
attend the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, | heard
one man remark, You don't
need me. +" That is a common
remark. But is 1t the right
attitude? OF course the commu-
nifty of the Chamber Of Com
merce might be run by one or
two, and usually a few do the
heavy work of any organization.
But those few always appreciate
the interest of the many.
Now that the Chamber of Com
merce at an enthusiastic meeting
have decided to send an exhibit
to the Panhandle and State Fairs,
il is up TO everyone in Lubbock /
county to assist in every way
possible. Nothing succeeds like
success, and this exhibit will be
a success, without any doubt,
because it is backed by the live
citizens of the community. Good
men are on the various com
mittees. and they should be sup /
ported in every way.
Before the Panhandle Fair, it
is planned TO bold a fair at Lub- .
book at which all are invited to
attend and bring samples of
products. The committees have
not perfected their plans, so this
is only a general announcement.
