SwindIInu Throuoh the Mails.

According to a dispatch from
Washington the Post Office De-
partment estimates that the public
during the last two wears has been
robbed of Sl29, 100000 through a
fraudulent use of the mails.
To what extent are the news
papers of the country responsible
for this lossl If all the swindlers
had used the newspapers, exclu-
sively, to catch their prey, then,
of course, the latter would be d.
rectly responsible for the entire
loss. As a matter of fact how
ever, the rascals who have been
playing the game, finding it more
and more difficult to get the news.
papers to accept their advertise
ments, have resorted to the use of
circulars, booklets and alluring
folders which they have been mail
ing by the million to the public.
Therefore the amount of swindl-
ing through the newspapers has
been, indeed. small in comparison
to the amount done in other years.
We do not claim that all news
papers are free from the charge
of accepting advertisements of
descriptive character. In spite of
the work done by the press and
advertising clubs, there remains
quite a number whose conscience
needs to be quickened; who, in
carrying on their business, allow
financial considerations to out
weigh.all others.
Newspaper publishers are not
infallible, and the best of them are
sometimes deceived by the adver-
tisements offered them by unusual
ly adroit swindlers. Investigations
do not always reveal the concealed
hook. All that the publisher can
do is to apply the recognized tests
to the copy offered and decide &C.
cording to the results.
There has never been a time,
we believe, when the columns of

The contest over the Paris, KY,
postmastership, which has been
waxing exceedingly warm for the
past several days, with r. j. Nc
Carney, former chairman of the
Democratic County Committee,
and Editor Bruce Champ as the
rival candidates, is regarded as set
tied, since a close personal friend
of Mccartney received a telegram
from Congressman }. Campbell
Cantrill, of the district, announc-
ing that he had recommended Nc
Carney for the job. with Walter
Payne as assistant postmaster.
AS Congressman Canllill Is con.
coded to have the privilege OF
naming the postmasters in his
district, his recommendation OF

Mayor O'Brien, went to Washing

welIsprinu Of woe.

With one voice the great army
of country storekeepers assert that
the fountainhead of their troubles
is to be found in the mail order
house, and that this wellspring OF
woe is destined soon to drown out
the small country merchant and the
community he serves, unless some
mighty miracle of prevention
speedily intervenes. These store
keepers believe the catalogue
house to be the most cunning and
efficient disguise that vicious and
destructive form of predatory
wealth known to man. Forrest

Measuring Hay.

Measuring hay in the stack is a
common method of measuring hay,
but the methods and rules used
are varied, says the Colorado ag-
ricultural college. Very little ex-
perimental data has been obtained
upon the accuracy of the different
methods. The United States de-
partment of farm management has
made some experiments, and used
the following method to find the
cubic content of the stack: measure
the length of the stack, then the
width, then with a tape measure
over the stack from the ground on
one side to the ground on the
other side. This distance is called
the over. Multiply the width by
the over and this by 81. This
will give the area of the cross sec
ton. Multiply this by the length
aud get total cubic feet contents.
The factor 81 is variable, accord
ing to the height, width and full
ness of the stack, and may be as
low as pa in low stocks, and as
high as .3S in high stacks. The
number of cubic feet to allow for
one ton varies with the kind of
hay and the length of time it has
stood in the stack, and is usually
determined according to local Gus
tom.

Prefer Newspapers to EvangeIists


Ten Protestant churches in Con-

advertising in an effort to stima-
late interest in religion. Revival
services have heretofore been the
recognized method employed. but
the clergy and the officials of the
churches now feel that more can
be accomplished by the use of
printers ink. A quarter page in
the Saturday morning and evening
newspapers will be used.
