The express business has been hard hit by the parcel post. During the first six months of the current fiscal year Il com panies covering 302, 759 miles of territory
 showed a loss of 5s.s in net operating in come despite the fact that there was a
 gain in mileage of over 1000 miles, As
 a result of this falling off in receipts pay
 ments to the railroads by the express
 companies decreased s1,722971. These fig
 urges are taken from the report of the interstate commerce commission giving earnings and expenses of the express com panies from July 1 to December 31, 1913, and are the first official data showing the effect of the parcel post on the express companies.

This is due, he declares, to the fact that although there was a heavy fall of snow in the Maine woods, the snows in the early part of the winter were damp and heavy and continued so. with the result that they bent down and broke off the cedar tops. which are the mainstay of game during the winter months, when other feed can't be found. These tops were lying on the snow in easy reach of the wild creatures who could browse on them at their leisure. During March intense cold formed a crust on the snow capable of sustaining deer and they were able to get about without difficulty.

THE CATHOLICS CAN ALWAYS
PULL THE PROTESTANTS
FOR MONEY

Dear Sir: Under date of Sept.
9th, the Augusta Chronicle in their
society section carries article, Move,
ment for the rebuilding of the Ca
thedral at Rheims"
1t would be useless for a subscriber
to write to this paper protesting on
the stand they have taken. In the
past they have catered to the Cath
oliCs and under no circumstances
would they print any article that
would prove to be offensive to their
cause.
In the first place why don't they
come out with the names of the peo-
pie that are making this appeal, as
it is hard to believe that the Pro-
testants of Augusta are the origina-
tors and if the truth was published
the movement comes direct from the
Homan Catholic church
Why should the public schools Of
America give contributions to any
society that for many years have
tried to destroy the one system that
was laid down by the people who
fought for their liberty. Past teach
ings will teach any one that the Ro-
man Catholic church never tries to
upbuild human mankind but is
constantly trying to destroy the one

system that made the United States
of America the greatest nation on
earth. Such a movement as sug-
gested by the Augusta Chronicle
should be fought on all sides re-
CARELESS if we are in sympathy with
the Allies or the Germans.
Why did the Germans destroy this
Cathedral? There is only one an
swer. If we stop to think it was only
a short time ago that the American
forces captured Vera Cruz, and where
did they capture most of their cap
tives? Why were they captured, and
who did they prove to be? Catholic
priests or their most ardent follow
ers.
This is the only solution as to
why they destroyed the so-called
only 'Home of Christ" where the
priests carry on their rascality in the
confessional lbox. Later the world
will learn this was the reason they
ton to their soldiers.
1t is hardly possible that the Ger
mans deliberately destroyed this Ca
thedral, as it was only a few days
ago they evacuated the city of
Rheims and at that time they had
every opportunity to burn the city,
but no they did not do so and it was
only later they found it necessary.
We Protestants should contribute
nothing to any Catholic society that
will help them to gain ground, and I
for one make protest and trust you
will help fight the movement to
finish.
Yours very truly,
Texas. A SUBSCRIBER.

WHAT! DIDN'T FRANK PARK GET
THE MONEY AFTER ALL
THAI SWEET rTAIK2

Dear Sir: [ have just read your
editorial 'How Congressman Frank
Park Got the Money" in the Jeff of
September II.
Your question, Need I say that
Frank Park got the money!" ETC.,
carries the implied statement that
he certainly did get it. You have
doubtless been misled by the news
paper reports at the time, as I was
and as most people in brownsville
were.
But look to the Congressional
1868 to 1906, and you will be
amused to see the source from which
this Congressman sought to "get the
money"
He didn't ask for any appropria-
ton by Congress, nor did he get any,
newspaper reports and press agents
work to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
What he did ask for-and get
was authority for the city of Thorn
asville to purchase property adjoin-
ing the Governments property, do
nate it to the Government, name it
"Roddenbery Park" and forever
thereafter maintain it at the expense
Of the tax payers Of the city of Thorn
asville.
We had thought, begorra, that we
had the right to buy thing and give
it away before Frank Park expressly
provided us with that right, but I
reckon we didn't.
At any rate, he hasn't "got the
money yet; and 7 don't know any
body in Thomasville who thinks he
will ever get it. Some how or other
these folks here are obsessed with
the idea that if they have to buy a
piece of property and forever pay
for it's up-keep, they can manage to
struggle along with it's management
without any advice (the only thing
Frank got) from official Washing
ton.
We folks here like joke, but the
joke played upon us by Frank Park
in the name of "Roddenbery Park
was sumner. We are willing for
you to reproduce the Record and let
the world laugh, but please don't add
to the joke by seriously publishing
to the world the mis-statement that
Crank Park Got the Money" from
us. He didn't do it, And he won't
do it. And he hasn't tried to get it
from anywhere else.
Very truly yours,
Ga. E. G. HAY.

lkE OF Sept ~ your comments on
L. the French Christian mission.
1 am entirely with you in
the plea of honesty in foreign mis-
Sions
| am convinced that your own
honest instincts will admit my COM
ment on your comment into the JEFF
feTsonian.
When you say "Bro. Seldom
throws up his hands in despair and
virtually admits that the whole
thing is failure / feel the remark
calls for comment.
If eX-Priest Hautefenille were the
whole thing" your remark would
be correct. But he is not.
Ever since my return from Amer
lea twelve months ago, l hape been
an invalid. For two years now |
have not been able to keep in very
close touch with Hautefenille. But
/ could not close my eyes to the fact
that he was losing his flock. He
brought all sorts Of plausible expla-
nations to my sick chamber and for
a time l accepted his explanations.
But l began to perceive that the

looked them up and heard their
testimony. This brought matters to
a climax.
These WOrthier people still remain
and viii gladly cooperate with a
worthy pastor if such can be found
to reorSanize the scattered flock
Some of our members are no
longer in Paris: but we receive such
news from them as makes us feel
that so far as they are concerned our
work las not been a failure.
We have published and circulated
a great deal of Christian literature.
This is sowing good seed.
Should my health improve I would
be willing to so back to Paris and
take up myself the work as we left
it. l should do so with greater con-
fdence than ever, feeling that the
sitting process through which we
have passed has had salutary effect.
No, eX-priest Hautefenille was not
