little babies that they must have.
She has only a vague idea of where
he can be found, but she is doing

Benefit to Farmers.

A campaign in which all the states
of the Pacific coast are actively join
ing is now being made to secure an
amendment to the present parcel post
regulations affecting the mailing of
seeds, bulbs, plants, cuttings, etc.
Under present provisions these must
all take a flat rate of one cent for
two ounces, which means that the
man who mails some plants to his
neighbor five miles away pays exact
ly the same postage he would if mail
ing them to New York. This is such
a manifest discrimination against the
farmer, the gardener and the seeds

ness in his own locality that CONNER

gates in Washington. Every addi-
tional letter will help, and it is hoped
that readers of this paper will use
their best efforts toward securing
this amendment.

no books. He pays a bill, makes no

How many persons have ever heard
Of the Order Of the Golden Horseshoe
the first order founded in America?
In 1924, when Virginia extended
from the Atlantic into the unknown
west, few Of her colonists had crossed
the Blue Ridge or the Alleghanies. So
full Of dangers from savages and wild
beasts and so full of natural difficult
ties was the passage Of these terrible
heights that Governor Spotswood, set
ting out TO discover a pass. looked on
the expedition as so hazardous that he
took with him a guard Of soldiers,
gentlemen and pioneers" armed and
carrying provisions. These scaled the
pass with great hardships and perils
and returned after the governor had
cut the name Of King George in the
rocks on the highest peak.
He then constituted the society, or
Orier, of the Golden Horseshoe. Each
man who had scaled this high pass was
made n member Of 1t, and to each one
he presented a golden horseshoe. On
the side was inscribed in Latin, $50 1t
Pleases Him to Cross Mountains"
Any man thereafter who could prove
that he had read with his own eyes the
name Of the king on the height was en-
titled to become a member OF this Or
