PARCEL POST TEST.

That the experiment of the gov ernment in the development of an in-
 creased business between the pro- ducer and the consumer through the
 parcel post has been accompanied by
 success bespeaks a further increase in the use of this government ser vice throughout the country. Then cities were used for the trial of this plan of building up a trade in food stuffs and that all should report sat isfactory results reveals the vast field which remains to be opened to this
 service Much needed information has been gained during the five months experiment. and it is going to be put to good use in future development It was realized from the start, that the handling of farm produce imposed no easy task upon the parcel post but the fact that the damage result ing therefrom amounted. to only one tenth of one per cent shows what can be done. The matter of containers and the question of packing are of much importance and when the improve ments are put in force. which will follow the experiences herewith. ,the
 trouble from that source will still
 further decrease

 which must come from all who are

LEAVING VERA CRUZ.

There comes a demand, credited to Vera Cruz. for the removal of the United States army of occupa lion under General Funston from that city. with the announcement at the same time that the Mexican troops about that city, are being withdrawn It will be a happy day for this coun- try when it can see its way to carry out such step.
 Vera Cruz was occupied in the first place, and continues to be; only for the pacifcation Of that republic. Some progress in that direction has been made by the change of control to the constitutionalists, but until more sub Btantiai assurance of its success ie forthcoming, Vera Cruz can expect to remain under its present authority This country from the position which 1t has taken has a responsibility which 1t is not going to shirk and 1t has no intention of repeating the preliminaries which led up to the talk ing of that city.
 Much depends upon the success which attends the efforts of General Carranza at the head of the provision al government as to when our soldiers win be recalled. His ability to cope with the situation, to put down dis sension and establish a government in the interests of the people, to bring together the strong leaders for the setting up of the needed reforms and to place the government on a footing which wiH assure peace is waiting demonstraf afion. That he will have the support of this country in such a pro- gramnle Is probable, and 1t must be remembered that United States troops in Vera Cruz are there for the coun- try's good. not it's detriment
