The President even. could drop in

would go to see friends from the same

Ill. Calls then would be appreciated
more Now they are eheapened by uni
time for homo and public duties and
self-culture.
Again. would It be quite dignined for
the wife Of our President to go trailing
about the streets returning calls? And
what about the wife of our Vice Presi-
dent having to do this same thing; or
wives Of Congressman?
Let them have their at homes'"
Mrs. J. w. Fosters Views.
Mrs. John W. Foster, wife Of the former
experience in official social circles here
and elsewhere expressed her disapprovaI
OF the plan to abandon calls. She said:
1T Is useless to try to bring the Gus
toms Of the Old World TO Washington
Americans are too democratic. One per-
son is as good as another and every one
who calls on another wants the cail re-
turned.
I'VE all know the hard and fast rules
IN inv faff
we must pay party calls. after dinners,
and luncheons and other entertainments,
and our hosts look for this courtesy on
our part.
I'm the case Of officials. when the calls
are too many the cards should be left
or sent. but certainly some acknowledge
ment should be made OF all courtesies.-
Burden ON OmciaIs' Wives.
Mrs William Haywood. a lifelong
resident of " ashington, said: Tho pro-
Ject Of mailing visiting cards in lieu OF
| ma king calls does not appeal to me. and
l can say that it never has been dono
in Washington. although I am told that
II Is sometimes done in New York The
atmosphere of the Capital is very differ
ent. however.
Il am very particular about my party
calls and tea calls and enjoy calling on
personal friends. I travel a great deal,
but when return to Washington I like
TO resume my calling where I left on
The Cabinet women. I notice, are very
| apt to return c-s. and all have called
on In Cabinet circles have returned my
calls.
u have lived here from one admins
tration to another and the making OF
| calls Is part of my life, and feel that
others feel the same way
OF course. the difficulty for the Of
fetal people Is the fact that great many
| persons from out OF town call on them
| and leave cards Many OF them stay
at boarding houses and private hotels and
| the Cabinet women have quito a time To-
eating them, only TO find often that they
| have left town In fact. cannot see but
what it would take up all the time OF a

official women to return all calls made

PURE BRED STOCK
SCARCE IN CALIFORNIA

Practically every well known
breeder of registered, purebred stock
in California has little or no surplus
on hand for sale. This is a very
healthy indication, but we regret
that the capacity OF our breeding
herds has been overtaxed to such an
extent that many willing buyers have
not been able TO secure the stock
they want This is particularly true
OF purebred swine demand There
have been some very large orders GO
ing untitled for some time now, and
the demand for fan pigs is already
large. One prominent breeder has al
ready been induced to accept pay
ment for pigs that are yet unborn,
and in all the leading herds the
youngsters are snapped up barely
past weaving time.
There is a demand for very high
class dairy bulls that cannot at this
time be filled by our breeders. There
are quite a number of buyers out
right now for bulls to meet their
specifications. willing to pay up to
$4,000 to secure the right bull, even

FIVE TONS OF FLOUR
BY PARCEL POST

One of the largest shipments by
parcel post ever received at the Elko
post office was received on No. 10
yesterday. The shipment consisted
of five tons of -four and was shipped
from an Ogden mill to Mr. Sewell
the Owyhee merchant. The train was
held up for about 80 minutes while
the shipment was being unloaded.
The scope and possibilities Of the
parcel post seem to be unlimited and
what they will be sending by mail
