ORoZco FLEES TO HILLS
SAYING HE WON'T YIELD

Ell Paso. Tex. July 2O.-General Villa
received word. last night in Juarez,
from Zacatecas that General Pascual
Orozco. leader of federal irregulars. had
deserted the Huerta garrison on the
San Luis Potosi. taking with him his
brigade of 1000 men. 1t was reported
that General Orozco fled into the noun
tains. declaring that he would never
submit to the constitutionalists.
Next to Huerta Orozco is probably
most hated by the constitutionalists as
he was the first of Madero's leaders to
turn against him. The soldiers. he has
led in the revolution. have never been
given quarter when captured by the
constitutionalists.

PARCEL POST.


Experts of the Postoffice department
at Washington and the Department of
Agriculture are at work upon series
of investigations which the experts be-
lieve will accomplish more toward re-
ducing the cost of living than any
thing that has yet been proposed
Their experiments contemplate the
use of the parcel post in the transpor-
tation of commodities directly from
the producer to the consumer.
The first report on these investiga-
tons will soon be made public by the
Department OF Agriculture and Off
Gals of this department already are
rejoicing over the prospects.
Postmaster-G General Burleson and
Secretary Houston believe that the use
of the parcel post as the direct means
of delivery from the consumer to the
producer, through doing away with the
middleman and his profits, will bring
the cost of the market basket provis-
ions down considerably.
There are two phases of the plan to
increase the usefulness of the parcel
post in this way.
The first of these is to evolve more
satisfactory containers for eggs, but
ter, vegetables and other farm prod
ucts desired to be sent directly from
the farm to the individuals kitchen
by way of the parcel post.
The second and more important
step to be taken is the development of
comprehensive system of telling
consumers where they can purchase
within accessible distances the nee
essary articles without going to the
middleman and also of informing the
producer of the exact locations of in
dividua markets for the products.
A problem. the solution of which
bears directly. upon the success OF
both phases of this plan. is what ex-

There are always two sides to a
story, and after reading in the RE-
PORTER of Feb. >. the story OF "A
Water Street Business Man. | Won
dered if he had ever thought of the
other side.
Allow me to tell a story. too.
A farmer who lived in town, and
paid good money for assessed taxes,
took few potatoes TO the home mar
ket, and visited possibly this same
business man. and asked him if he
wanted a few potatoes.
Yes, he could handle a few, il the
farmer would take it in trade.
Now this was not exactly the way
to do business as the farmer under
stood it, still he agreed, and asked
what was paid for them and was told
so cents.
But said the farmer, in a town
nearby | can get DOC
That's the place to sell them then,
said the trader, which was about what
the farmer thought too, but he was
patriotic and believed in trading a.
home, so he consented to let his goods
go at the other mans price.
They were brought in and careful
ly weighed. so as to get at the exact
weight, net.
Then the farmer said that he would
take two barrels of X Y z flour a
dollars worth of sugar and a bag OF
meal.
The exchange was made and bill
made out, for bbl's flour $11, sugar
Is lbs. $l00 and one bag of meal
$3.50. Bal due, $500.
The farmer inspected the bill and
his patriotism was somewhat damp
ened as he said to the trader, five
cents less for my potatoes, meal five
cents higher than i'll, sugar
two pounds less for my dollar, and
flour twenty-five cents on barrel
more. And he departed on his way
we'll satisfied that the next time he
wanted to trade he would visit the
foreign town.
And he felt still more so when, upon
reaching home, he found his meat short
in weight, and the sugar bag sold as
sugar.
But after awhile he repented and
Cnce more thought to trade in his home
town.
So he took few vegetables along
and again visited his home town, and
at his home market he asked if they
wanted a few vegetables.
| No. they didn't.
Yes, but we order all such stuff
Why you deal in them, don't you
| from Boston as it is less work and no
bother, etc. What can we sell you to-
! day?
The farmer did not purchase at that
| time, but went to a nearby town where
| his produce was purchased and a sat
| isfactory trade was made.
Now this is a true happening and
will perhaps show to Business Man
that the other fellow may sometimes
have feeling too on this line.

chases his goods where he can buy
to the best advantage. or does he al

THE MOST USEFUL EDUCATION.

In the days when people thought
less favorably of high-school and col
lege education than they do now, |
was constantly asked the questions:
What is the use of history? What is
the use of literature? VIII a man
get any richer if he knows the history
of Greece and Rome? Will he be a
better lawyer or doctor for having
read poetry and philosophy
The answer to those questions is
not that he will be any richer, but
something else besides riches worth
pursuing; not that he will practice his
profession more successfully, but that
he will have ideals outside of his pro-
fession which will make him a hap
pier man in his own life and more
valuable to his friends and to his
country | am sometimes inclined to
the opinion that the knowledge that
really is most useful today is the kind
which seems less Immediately and OBJ
viously useful-the knowledge of
what great men have done and thought
in the past, and the inspiration which
comes from such knowledge. Looked
at from the standpoint of America as
a whole, this is certainly true. There
is little danger that our people will
forget how to make money There is
little danger that we shall fail to prac-
tice our various trades and profess
sions with skill. But there is consid-

cradle danger that In the pursuit of
those objects we may forget larger
ends; that In getting rich as individu-
ais we may lose sight of the things
that are necessary for the making of
nations. The most useful knowledge
then, is that which will make us the
best citizens-President Hadley of
Yale, in The Youths Companion.
