X SENSIBLE RULING.

Is is a pleasure tO note that here after the embargo placed against the parcel post business by the spe- cial stamp regulations has been re- moved by Postmaster General BurlesOn.
 When the parcel post was in aueurated many wondered why it was necessary 10 require a special stamp for that branch of the busi- ness, and a stamp, too, that could not be used on other mail. It now is stated that this was done in order to get an idea on the volume of the business, and now, since that has been ascertained. the need of it has passed, and hereafter the regula- ton stamp, together with special issues, may be used for parcel post business. At the same time, parcel post stamps may be used on all other classes of mail.
 Gradually the postofiice depart ment will simplify the rules gov erning this new feature of the ser vice, all for the good of all the people.

A THOUGHT FOR RIGHT NOW.

For a long time The Star has urged stock growing as an industry suited to this country, and espe- cially the development of the dairy industry. The argument that needs no urging is that it is by this method only that the fertility of our farm lands is best conserved and built up. The only industry that would suffer from stock grow ing in Polk county is the conner cial fertilizer business.
 But the dairy business is one that is a soil builder, a country builder and a prosperity builder. Unlike strawberries, peaches and allied crops, the dairy business is a pro- ducer twelve months in the year. If Polk county people would take hold of this industry we soon would see more pasture-pastureS for ten or eleven months of the year-and silos and good cows, and then there would be a string of wagons com- ing in daily with cream for a creamery and the owners going back with ready money in their pockets or bundles of goods pur- chased from our merchants. The 'crop season" then would be all the year around. and besides the sup plying of our own people with but ter from our own farms the golden product would go into the cities and bring back the greenbacks, the gold and silver of commerce.
 This is not necessarily a fanciful picture, because it is a picture that exists in scores of places-places where prosperity abides. based upon the solid foundation of farms kept productive by the good manage ment of the happy and contented owners.
 Let us try for this all-the-year- round crop.

TIE RAIN lOpPORTUNE 2

Just when the ptop1e oft Polk county were beginning to get really uneasy about the crops, the usual happened-fine rains came, soaking the ground giving the corn a fresh start toward bountiful crop, stimulating the cotton, saving the gardens and, don't forget, the blackberries.
 The rains for June were rather far apart, the first of consequence on the Sth and then a long lapse until the 30th-a pretty length dry spell' with the temperatures lowering between the sos and 90s.
 But the lesson of the dust mulch, the continual shallow cultivation in dry weather, has had its effect in Polk county, and where it was put in use there was little or no harm. On the other hand, where corn was laid by early in the month, it is feared the quantity and quality both will be cut.
 But these are cheerful days days when the good farmer can work and feel his work will bring forth abundant results.

\ Successful CO-Operative
 Creamery.

The cooperative spirit among farmers. which has been growing very rapidly during the past fRe years, probably shows greater re- suits in the local creamery organl- zation than any other line of i'm proVement. There are over $50 CO., operative creameries in Iowa at the present time, all of which, if given the proper management, +'are re- turning a very good price yto, the producer. It is a weh 4noMIE. fact that butter can be produced cheap CT and of a much better. quality where all of the fat is gathered in the same locality in which the creamery is located.
 It was the writer's pleasure to as sist in the organization of co-op- erative creamery in Littleport about l5 months ago. Although it was somewhat difficult to get the move .ment started, yet in less than a week enough stock had been sub scribed by the farmers in the nearby vicinity to assure a well-equipped, practical creamery. An efficient eX- perienced butter maker was secured and the plant opened one month later. After the patrons realized the advantages of such a creamery it did not take long until large quan- tity of cream was being weighed in each morning.
 The butter maker, as well as the manager, was very energetic and educated the patrons as best they could in the care of milk and cream before it was delivered to the plant. This enabled the creamery to produce an excellent quality of butter, which brought the highest price on the New York market. During the first year the plant dis tributed 32,5SS.ii among the farm CTS for butter fat produced. During the l2 months, 2l,295 pounds of milk and 39525i pounds of cream passed through the weigh room. This. when made into butter, produced l21i0 pounds. The average price paid patrons per pound for butter fat is 30.9 cents. The average cost to manufacture a finished product per pound was 2.7 cents.
 At the annual meeting, held a few months ago. every stockholder and patron was present. After the busi- ness session and the election of of ticers, a general dairy meeting was held and problems of importance discussed in general. Everyone was very enthusiastic. Silos had been constructed by many of the patrons. grade dairy cattle had been intro duced, many had subscribed for
 dairy papers and a general booster spirit had taken hold of the village and surrounding country.-E. S. Estel in Farm, Stock and Home.

CREAMERIES THAT SUCCEED.

In line with the creamery ques- tion and general stock industry. which The Star has been urging for Polk county for some time past. l. quotes from the Charlotte N. C. News their report of the creamery located at Hickory. \. c., which is only 20 miles from the home of MT J. Hollister Full, agriculturist for the Kansas City Southern railway:
 An enterprise that increases in business 400 per cent in l2 months is one that has some life about it.; yet, according to the annual re- port, that is the record of the Ga tawba Creamery at Hickory. Dur ing the month of February, 1911, the total business amounted to S2,- 14S.79. During February, 1912. this business totaled SS.902.37. Last year the concern paid out in dividends 5000, and this year it is stated that this dividend will be doubled"
 From Mooresboro, N. C., about 4C miles from Hickory, Mr. J. B. Blans- ton reports for 1912 a dividend as follows: After paying all expenses 30 cents per pound for butter fat and a 10 per cent dividend on the capital stock of S6,0OO, he had a lit- tie over SL0OO left"
 The above creamery enterprises are referred to chiefly because they are located in a country that is al- most identical with that of Mena ir topography climate and soil, and further because there are persons here who know of the facts in the case
 This is opportune at this time be- cause the man who installed the creameries above named and has just put one in at Waldron which is now making butter and succeeding will be in Mena Saturday, July 3, tc lay his plans before Mena bushes, men and Polk county farmers.
 Mena business interests can mol more afford 10 be indifferent to this than can the farmers and stock growers.

WARM DAYS.

Sunday was warm day in Mena some say it was hot, and some felt that way, but most folks mere ly found it pleasant to stay out of the sun, to rest in the shady places, either at home, or in the woods, or and this caught hundreds-in beautiful, shady, restful Jansen park.
 All during the day, but partic- ularly in the afternoon, the park was peopled with men. women and children, They rested on benches, they leaned against the hospitable trees, they reclined on the carpet of green grass. and all without fear of red bug. woodtick or other an noyance. They watched the grace full swans as they glided over the face of the lakes or preened their snowy feathers, and they admired the wild geese and ducks, and their antics as they went tO the bottom for morsels of food and played about. Between times some of the groWnups read or talked or dozed
 But all the time there was one busy place-a spot that irresistibly drew each and every one at some time or other, or many times-the sparkling, gushing spring of pure cold water that boils out of the |earth and quenches the thirst of the multitudes. the surplus flowing to the lakes and on beyond.
 It is good for Mena folks to go away from home. They usually en- joy such outings. They see new faces, make new friends and see new sights, and then, on return, they the more appreciate it's beau ties and comforts.
 Nature has done wonders for Mena. It has healthy spots all about, and Polk county has them dotted all over it's surface. It has hundreds of splendid springs, some pure water, some mineral water, and of all there are few indeed that are not wholesome and beneficial to the sick and the well who drink of them.
 When Polk county has reached its own it will be dotted all over with rest places, fitted with the comforts that men and women de- mand, where tired humanity may come and breathe ozone-laden air cleanse themselves inwardly and outwardly with sweet. pure waters and be made saner and better and uobler in the change.

MIR. TAFT JUST CAN'T LEARN.
The Professor Makes Another of His
 Down With Progress" Talks.

Cincinnati, O., June 27.-Taking as his subject The Relation of Pop ular Government to Business" for mer President William Howard Taft, professor at Yale University. yesterday delivered the principal address at the dedication of the new home of the Chamber of Com merce of this city.
 "The reformers apparently ignore the necessity for economy and ef- tciency in the administration of public affairs said the former president These supposed re- formers are so radical that the fear of many is that the extreme will be reached. which will destroy the permanence of popular government and also individual liberties"
 In speaking of the initiative and referendum and recall, Mr. Taft said:
 The duties which the people must perform to make the new ma chlherN O1 the initiative, refern- dunn and the recall effective are three times that necessary under the representative system.
 If we find, as we are sure to find. that the initiative and the referen- dunn and the recall will practically destroy representative government to the extent of placing power in the hands of a dwindling and not wise minority, we will find it through hard experience. But the people may be entrusted to retrace their steps and come hack to the representative and popular govern ment plan."
 The former president stated that he was not averse to strikes if their object was to place manufacturer and employe on a more common ground on which to deal with each other.

Mr. John Wanamaker's recent suggestion that Uncle Sam should take over the telegraph and tele- phone lines is perhaps a little too sensible to receive serious consid- eration at this time. Why not leave the question of telephones. and tele- graphs to posterity?
