PRODUCER TO CONSUMER.
Eighty Farmers Want to Feed Den
verites Through Parcels Post.

Denver.-The first step of the Den
yer postoffice toward putting into ac-
tual use the proposed parcel post serv-
ice for delivering produce from farm
ers to city consumers was taken
when Postmaster Charles Trodder
sent to Denver housewives list con-
tanning the names of eighty farmers
who are willing to ship their goods
direct, thus eliminating the profit OF
the middleman.
The majority of the farmers on the
list are in Colorado. But a few are IN
Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming.
Their produce includes vegetables of
all kinds, fruits, poultry, butter, eggs
and meat.
All the farmers are within the local
first and second zones of the parcel
post rating system. This means the
rate for transportation will cost 5
cents for the first pound and l cent
for each additional two-pounds or
fraction thereof, etc.

So complete is the victory of Rus.

in which the campaign in the inter-

against Germany may be conducted.
With advance cavalry patrols in the
Province of Posen and with the East

BURIED IN THE PRACTICAL

People who pride themselves on
their practicability and horse sense Of
ten scott at those who plead for the
amenities or graces of life, those
things which are not essential to bare
animal existence, but which tend to
ameliorate hard conditions, to lubri-
cate iife's machinery, and to make
things go little easier, a little pleas
anter.
II you go into the homes of these
practical people you will be struck
by the absence of the beautiful. You
will find the solid and the practical
everywhere in evidence, without any
attempt to combine beauty with util-
ity. They believe in the useful, the
necessary thing but flowers and pic
lures, fine tapestries, artistic wall
coverings. harmony of color and de-
ksign in curtains, rugs, and other de-
tails, and in the arrangement of fur
niture, they regard as mere foolish
ness, unworthy the attention OF SEN
sible people They have little use for
music, works OF art, literature, the
drama, or any other thing which is
not actually necessary to physical sus-
tenance or comfort.
The result is visible in their lives.
The continual emphasis on the bread
and-butter side OF life to the total
neglect of the aesthetic side, makes
them harder, coarser. duller and more
matter-of-fact. and points them more
and more to the material away from
the spiritual axis.
People OF finer mold, who have
been touched to higher issues, and
have caught a glimpse of nobler things
are sensibly affected by the atmos-
phere OF such homes. They feel the
lack of the spiritual and aesthetic ele-
ments. The absence OF refinement, of
culture, OF all the graces OF life has
chilling, depressing effect.
IL is very fortunate for the world
that there are those who think more
OF putting beauty into life than of
making dollars, who realize that IL is
as destructive Of the best that is i'm us
to over emphasize the practical as IL
is to rush TO the other extreme OF ex-
travagance and frivolity. The earth
would be barren place IL II were not
for the beauty lovers.

THE COUNTRY HIGHWAY

A movement has been started by
the Michigan State Teachers Asso-
citation to secure for the country
schools and highways something of
the same beauty and advantages that
our cities and villages are obtaining
from the Park Movements, Play
ground Associations and the Mothers
Clubs of their schools. Schools OF
the cities are fast becoming social
centers, attractive meeting places for
parents and neighbors to enjoy them
selves and plan improvements for the
community and the children. Too
many of our rural schools are bare
and unattractive little places with
small, unkept yards, and the roads
leading to them are without shade or
beauty.
In order to improve the country
roads and schools in this respect IL
is proposed TO invite the public spir-
tied citizens of each district, MEM
bers OF Horticultural Societies. Far
mers' Clubs. womens Clubs, Changers
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1914-04-08

Clubs and any other society that will
be interested in this movement, to as
sist teachers, school officers, township,
county and State Highway commits
sioners to make Arbor Day a success,
by planting trees along highways and
margins of school grounds, and to
consider ways of securing larger school
yards. This is the beginning OF a
State wide movement, which it is hop
ed'will result in a great change in the
physical appearance OF rural commun-
tiles. The child can be taught no bet
ter lesson toward making his future
home and the county in which he
lives beautiful than by giving him a
neat and beautiful school and letting
him help in the work of caring for it.

ON
ILLITERACY
Movement on Foot to Establish
Moonlight Schools.

Kentucky has 2OS,0S4 men and
women, according to the last report
of the United States Census Bureau,
who cannot read or write-valuable
material going to waste-good peo-
pie, but in a state of mental dark
ness. Christian county has 5000 of
these unfortunates. A movement is
on foot to give these people chance
like the grown people of Rowan coun-
ty had in their Moonlight Schools.
In that county men and women past
eighty learned in few weeks to read
an write. Only twenty-three illit
crates were left in that county,
though there were 1852 when the
Moonlight Schools began, three
years ago. A number of Kentucky
teachers have taken up the move
ment, and Moonlight Schools are be.
ing conducted in number of coun-
ties in the State.
The Kentucky Illiteracy Commits
sion has opened headquarters in the
new State capital at Frankfort, and
will gladly give information or lend
assistance to any who are interested
in stamping out illiteracy from Ken
lucky either in Moonlight Schools or
by instructing individuals in their
homes. The Commission is compos-
ed Of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart,
President; DR.. j. G. Crabbe, Secre-
tary and Treasurer, Hon. Barksdale
Hamlet. President H. H. Cherry,
and Miss Ella Lewis. None of these
men or women are to be paid for
their services. Can we not lend them
a hand? 1t is our Kentucky as we'll
as their Kentucky. Let us wipe illit-
eracy out of Kentucky by 1920, when
the next census is taken.
