Housekeeper And The Parcel
Post.

As nation, we have taken kindly TO
the parcel post; most OF US use it more
or less and some of us occasionally abuse
il, as the woman did who recently sent
her 2c-pound baby on a journey of 90
miles in charge of the parcel post man.
Some of us, however, have not begun TO
appreciate how widely it can serve our
convenience. Many a housekeeper, liv-
ing a mile or so from town, and prevent
ed from going to market by bad wealth
err. fails TO realize that fresh vegetables
that may be spelling at the market for
lack of customers, can be sent TO her
by parcel post if she will only take the
trouble 10 telephone. Shoe stores, dry
goods stores, drug stores and hardware
stores will all send goods in that way,
and are glad to do it, if thereby they can
save themselves or their customers
| long drive.
A woman who was lamenting that she
could not get fresh eggs in the city had
never thought of getting them by par
eel post from the country. She did not
even know that there are special egg
! boxes made for that very purpose. There
are other women who have not learned
that when they are travelling they can
send ahead suit or hat, or any other
article of clothing that they cannot get
into hand bag and find il waiting at the
end of the journey.
Some laundries are now doing all their
business through the post They return
| the clothes in large pasteboard box that
can be used for sending the soiled clothes
the next week.
Suppose you need something from a
drug store that does not deliver TO Gus

dislike 10 walk or drive TO the village
1t takes only few moments to tele-
phone. You will find the clerk quite
willing 10 mail you the package, and the
quick delivery is we'll worth the few ex-
ira cents. The postman must make the
trip anyway, SO tneFe is llo heeu W ieol
guilty for letting him save you the trou-

Postmaster General Burleson says that
ultimately the government will handle
all the small packages IN the country.
and he believes that within ID or 20

100 pounds in weight.
An automobile was once sent from
London to Paris by parcel post, and ev-

BLUEGRASS.

Grass is the forgiveness OF nature
her constant benediction. Fields tramp D.
led with battle, saturated with blood,
torn with the ruts OF cannon, grow green
again with grass and Carnage is forgot
ten. Streets abandoned by traffic be-
come giass-grown like rural lanes and
are obliterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is i'm
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen hosts
of winter, it withdraNs into the impreg-
nable fortress of its subterranean vitali-
ty and emerges upon the first soicita-
tion of spring. Sown by the winds, by
wandering birds, propagated by the sub
lime horticulture of the elements which
are its ministers and servants, it sofiens
the rude outline of the world. Its tena-
clous fbers hold the earth in place and
prevents its soluble components from
washing into the wasting sea. 1t invades
the solitude of deserts, climbs the mac
cessible slopes and forbidding pinnacles
OF lofty mountains, modifieS climates
and determines the history, character
and destiny Of nations. Unobtrusive and
patient, it has immortal vigor and az
gression. Banished from the thorough
lare and the field, it bdes its time TO re-
turn, and when vigilence is relaxed, or
the dynasty has persisted, it silently re-
sumeS the throne from which it has
been expelled, but which it never abdi,
Gates. 1t bears no blazonry of bloom to
charm the senses with fragrance or with
splendor, but its homely hue is more en-
chanting than the lily or the rose. 1t
yields no fruit 10 earth or air and yet,
should its harvest fail for a single year,
famine would depopulate the world. -

Your Town is What You
Make 1t.

What makes town? People and bus
mess. You are one of the people. What
you buy helps make the business. The
more you buy the better the business
and the more business the better the
town.
You want the town to grow and i'm
prove, don't you? Then you should help
it to grow by increasing its business as
much as you can. Every time you send
elsewhere for goods you give your town
a blow. Enough of these blows will ul-
timately kill the town.
The mail order houses do nothing for
your town except try TO kill it. Are you
helping them? You are if you send your
money 10 them for goods that you could
buy at home. If you are more interest
ed in the growth of Chicago or New
York than you are in the prosperity of
your own town, your own neighbors, then
continue 10 send to mail order houses
for your goods. If you want your town
to thrive, spend your money where you
make it.

SPENDING PUBLIC MONEY.

A good deal of emphasis has been
placed on the importance Of econo-
mixing in public expenditures during
these times Of short public revenues
The subject has two sides.
No argument in favor Of economy
In general ought to be needed. 1t is
nothing less than criminal to spend
public money on needless or unpro-
ductive projects, and we are commit
ting that crime right along. Congress
spends money where money should
not be spent, and where its expendi-
ture will result in no public benefit.
1t does this largely because of the
ambition of the congressman to i'm
press his constituents with a sense of
his activity and ability. The mar who
Is able to get public money spent in his
district is able to make a strong bid
for popular favor, and, II there is no
legitimate need for expenditure there,
he Is apt to press the claim an lille
gitimate project. We see this In con-
nection with public buildings, river
and harhor expenditures, navy yards.
and many other things. Waste in
these matters is always i~nexcusable,
and it Is more ~ineXcusable now than
ever.
But there are projects Of another
kind, projects which are based on real
needs, and on which the expenditure
Of money Is legitimate. There are ir-
rigation Improvements to be made,
highway improvements to be encour-
aged. necessary--not unnecessary
buildings to be built and harbors to
be improved. and hundreds Of other
things to be done. Every one of these
things is Of value as a constructive
work, and in a time when business
conditions are demoralized by events
beyond our control. the employment
which they give to labor is a highly
important matter.
If we were to discontinue every ex-
penditure which is not Immediately
and imperatively necessary, we would
prevent the expenditure of many mil
lion dollars. We might be able to get
along without special taxes. But we
would deprive the country of improve
ments which it needs, and which will
be useful and productive, and would
create a vast army Of unemployed peo-
pie to add to those necessarily thrown
out OF work by the distressing con-
ditions abroad.

THE NEW REVENUE MEASURE

The new revenue law will, in all
%probilitS, be substantially like other
revenue measures which have been
adopted to meet emergencies. The
United States is not at war, but it is
feeling the effect of war in the loss
Of revenue due to falling off Of i'm
ports. Duties on imports, Of course,
form a very important part of our
revenue. If there are no imports no
duties can be collected. While there
are still imports, and duties are still
collected, the cessation of commerce
with some of the belligerent coun-
tries has affected Jul revenue to such
an extent that other means must be
found for financing the government.
The bill which is now being put into
shape will, it is estimated, produce an
annual revenue of something over
800, 900. 900. There is to be no in
crease in the income tax. This was
proposed, but the president objected
to it, not oil principle, but because no
portion of such a tax would be avail
able for some months, whereas the
government needs money Immediate
~. The objection seems sound. The
special taxes on beverages, alchoholic
and otherwise, on tobacco. on freight
bills, and SO on, will begin to bring
money into the treasury almost i'm
mediately after the law takes effect.
and immediate action is what is
wanted.
There has been some discussion of
the propriety of issuing bonds to tide
over the emergency. In theory We
lie that the bond plan can be
ahundantly justified. The issuance OF
bonds would relieve the people Of this
immediate present of the burden of
taking care of an emergency which
they did not create. and the weight
of 1t could he so distributed hat Il
would not be severely felt by anyone.
1t is easier to issue bonds, however,
than to pay them off, and money Dor
rowed in this way is apt to become
merely an addition to a permanent
debt. When once a bond issue is
financed it is apt to be forgotten. There
is no special incentive to settle. ~
direct tax is something Of an annoy
ance. 1t is something of which the
people are constantly reminded every
time they have to use q special rev.
enue stamp, and every time they see
one. e it is practically certain
that such q tax will be discontinued
as soon as possible. This has been
the experience Of the past, and it is
likely to be repeated. If the party
in power appears TO be a little dila-
tory about the repeal of the tax it
will he reminded very forcibly and
very frequently by the party out of
power, and no party, for this reason,
will permit such a tax to stand much
longer than necessary.

After climbing the last hill a slight
clatter began to disturb the even purr
of the big Speedover. 1t was the first
note of rebellion tina the car had
sounded since it left the garage that
morning at z o'clock. 1t had been
unnin steadily ever since with the
exception Of an hours halt at noon.
1t was now 5 O'Clock and the car could
not possibly reach the country club
before $3.50.
To begin with, it was Aunt Ada's
idea entirely. Uncle Lewis had con
ce'Ved a passion for golf and had
simply left his office to go it's own
way while he went to his favorite
links for a weeks outing. His mes
sages, briefly scrawled on the club
note paper, had hilariously recorded
the score. 1t also suggested the
charms of the valley and hills during
tina particular portion of the month.
IN the city one was aware that it was
May from the fact that the second
oatch or IT were in and anybody
could buy young peas and violets who
could afford them. There was no
question that Aunt Ada could afford
them; Uncle Lewis had seen to that
by grubbing away at his law prac-
tlce for thirty years or SO. But young
peas and violets cannot make q real
sprlngtime any more than one swal-

ficulty in seeing that this was a petty,
absurd, and rather disgraceful mani
festation Of enmity, and they gave
their neighbors many soundly rea-
soned and well-deserved lectures on
the universally of art and the mis-
ike they were making. The French
themselves, being by nature a most
reasonable and sensible people, realiz-
ed their error, not as soon as might
have been expected, but in due time,
and lifted the ban which they never
should have imposed.
The Germans, who are also sensible
and reasonable as a race, will not long
boycott literature of whatever proven
fence. One a hope, and even believe
that they haven't done SO at all, for it
doesn't seem like them to draw as art
critics the line of nationality.

already satisfactory. and if the cen

Germany should desire the approval

GERMAN PLAN FAILS.

What may be considered as the first
over. and 1t has been marked by the
failure Of the German plan Of attack.
That plan, as it was indicated with
reasonable clearness at the beginning,
and as has developed by the actual
events of the war thus far, was to
outflank the allies on their left, to
crumple up their line and cut them
off from their base, and then, proba-
bly, with the use of a relatively small
force to keep the Partisan defenses
busy, to attack the disorganized allies,
front, flank and rear, and cut them to
pieces. This was foiled by the hard
fighting and orderly retirement Of the
allies, who retreated from position to
position as the weight of the German
attack pressed on them, inficting tre-
mendou loss upon the Germans, and
reforming for more fighting a little
farther on. The result was hat while
the Germans forced their adversaries
back, they were unable either to en-
circle them or to penetrate their line.
The Germans came almost within gun
shot Of Paris. Doubtless they could
have reached the Notifications had
they chosen to do so. But to sit down
before a strongly fortified city with a
great and unbroken hostile army NOV
ing at will in its own territory, would
have been suicidal.
The first plan of campaign having
failed, a second was adopted. The
movement away from Paris was be-
gun. 1t would be a serious mistake to
call this a retreat, and the French and
English commanders are too wise ia
make that mistake. The effort to en-
circle the left Of the allies having fail
ed, and being now impracticable be-
that wing rested securely on its
base at Paris, a movement was begun
to concentrate all available force on
an attack on the center of the line al.
most midway between Paris and the
eastern border. That is where the
fighting is going on now, with the ad-
vantage thus far, according to all
available information, in favor of the
allies. The right wing Of the German
line has been forced back, its flank
is harried an dts center has been able
to make no impression on the foe. This
Is harried and its center has been able
give it to us. Much seems to depend
on the action going on in the center.
If the Germans should succeed in fore
ing the enemies line at that point
the predicament Of the French south
ern army would not be an enviable
one. If the allies can drive them
back, or ven II they can hold fast, the
situation becomes serious for the Ger
mans.
