PARCEL POST KILLS
EXPRESS CO. PROFITS
INCOMES REDUCED TO LOW POINT
AND MANY EMPLOYEES ARE
LAID OFF.

New York, Aug. 21.-Because of
heavy losses through the competition
of the parcel post, an alleged insuffici-
ent margin of profit on account of the
schedules placed in effect last winter
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the falling off in business
due to the war, the American Express
Company and other express companies
have laid off employees in New York
and other cities.
Incomes Fall Off.
The effect of the war has not as yet
been determined, but even before hos
tilities began the express companies
were not in strong position to face
further loss of business. During the
ten months of the fiscal year ending
last April the eleven largest American
companies, two of which operate in
Canada as well as in the United States,
had an aggregate net income from op
GRAFTON amounting to only $62S,437
whereas during the ten months Of the
preceding fiscal year their net income
aggregated $4,231 .465.
The, loss, more than IS per cent,
was exceeded in percentage during
April when it ran to more than SO per
cent
81, NE h. &c duo ff,
slackness of business not connected
with parcel post rates or orders of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
1t has been impossible to estimate &C
curately, but it is assumed that at least
$2,000,000 of the loss is due to parcel
post competition. In view of this stu
alton, the express companies have been
forced to the greatest economy, and
there were revived reports yesterday
of further consolidation in order to re-
duce expenses.
Fargo Explains Reasons.
In regard to the reports that the
American Express Company had laid
on many men, Secretary w. G. Fargo
said yesterday:
"Yes, it is true we have laid off
men all over the country. Our action
has been caused principally by the par
Gel post competition and the action of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
In drastically reducing rates beyond
the point where they would show the
express companies equitable profits.
The effect of the war on our business
is responsible to less degree for this
action, although it has undoubtedly
been factor"
Mr. Fargo declined to give the num-
Der of employees that have been laid
off

Easy to Forgive.

A business man made an appoint

and when the time rolled around he
forgot the matter entirely.
The incident worried him so much
that he dreaded to meet the friend
and for several days tried to keep out
of the Iatter's way.
Finally. however. the inevitable hap
pened. and the two met fact to face
in the lobby of a downtown club.
Before the business man could voice
bis explanation the friend extended
his hand and began to apologize hum
bly,:
Il must beg your pardon. old chap.
but really quite forgot about our
engagement the other day. and am
indeed very sorry to have disappOint-

When he fully recovered from the
shock the business man exclaimed.

of us will sometimes forget. "-Phila-

There are 20,000,000 rural church COM

The Functions Of Rural Church.
If the rural churches today are go
Ing to render service which this age
demands, there must be cooperation
between the religious, social and eco

The church to attain its fullest meas

of the people in the community it
serves; it must build character; devel-
op thought and increase the efficiency
Of human life. 1t must serve the So

as the spiritual and moral side Of life.

LAD DIES IN COTTON.
Jimmie DOddS SmOthers While at
Play in Chester.

Chester, Sept. f7.-While playing
in some cotton today, Jimmie Dodds,
son of w. o. Dodds, a tenant on the
farm of Turner E. Lucas, in the Lib
erty Baptist church community a few
miles from the city, smothered.
The accident occurred at II o'clock
today. The little boy, as he had
done many times before, was playing
in the staple. 1t is thought that he
had dug a hole in it and piled a bank
of cotton up, and in getting about in
the hole the other fell down upon
him, taking his breath away by
means of cutting OF his source OF
air.
1t was some time after the boy had
left the house that any concern was
entertained for his whereabouts. At
ter a careful search he was found in
the cotton.
A physician of this city was hur-
ried to the scene, but all efforts at re-
storing life were futile.

Sacred Singing in the Country.

Far down in the country where
grand opera methods have not yet
been applied to church singing
blessed old minister arose and an
nounced the number of the hymn he
desired the congregation to sing,
says the Popular Magazine. He fol-
lowed the old custom of lining out"
the hymn. That is, he would read
line in a loud voice and then the
congregation would sing it.
The first line was as follows:
I'VE praise thee, O God, for Thy
power ten thousand strong"
The congregation tried the line
and was on such a high key that
when ten thousand strong" was
reached every body was up in
screech.
I'm afraid that's too high" said
the benevolent old man, too high
on the ten thousand strong. "
His difficulty was solved by an
old fellow who stood up far back in
the church and exclaimed in nasal
voice:
All right, then; bring it down to
one thousand"

URGE GOVERNMENT LOAN.
Advocates of Plan Appear Before
House Banking Committee.

Washington, Sept. 21.-A Govern
ment loan of s500,000,000 to cotton
farmers at the rate of s35 on bale
was advocated before the house
banking committee today by South
ern congressman and representatives
of the National Farmers union. Rep
resentative Henry, Of Texas, one OF
those who favored such step, urg-
ed the committee to put stop to
the issue of emergency currency,
which he said would not help the
people in distress.
Mr.. Henry said the banks in the
South were withholding the currency
from the cotton farmers, who needed
immediate help. He wanted the
money apportioned among the South
ern States according to the cotton
production in 1913 and suggested
that the loans be made through
banks or by postmasters.
P. S. Mobley, of the Arkansas Far
mers' union, explained how cotton
trade had been paralyzed by the war
and urged the necessity of some ac-
tion along the lines emphasized by
Mr.. Henry. He said the bankers
were not loaning money because they
were afraid to put out funds on long
term notes and declared agricultural
interests should be given the same
emergency consideration accorded
commercial interests. The cotton
farmers, he said, were ready to give
the government 100 per cent. securi-

Junior Senator's Plan Would Also

Borrowers.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator
Ellison D. Smith today introduced
an amendment to the Aldrich-Vree-

if adopted, will reduce the rate Of
interest charged By the government
for this money from 8 per cent. to
l per cent. and providing that the
reduction made in the interest to the
bankers shall likewise be made by
the banks to the farmers borrowing
the money.
The section pertaining to farm
loans reads: Loans secured by
notes, bills and drafts, issued for

provided for, shall not charge upon
such loans a rate of interest in ex-
cess of the legal rate of interest, less

BYRNES WOULD PUSH PLAN.
Would Have Every Southern Con
2ressman Purchase Cotton.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Congress-
man Byrnes of South Carolina today
began a movement here to have each
member of the house from the South
buy at least one bale Of cotton in
each of the counties in his district.
He has already perfected arrange
ments to this effect in ali of the coun-
ties of the Second district and Con-
gresham Whaley has done the same
in the First district.
This is good move to help the
"buy-a-bale" plan along and it will
be seen that if each of the congress-
men from the cotton-producing States
should adopt this scheme a consider
able amount of cotton would find a
market at 10 cents a pound, which is
the amount Mr.. Byrnes promises to
pay.
In South Carolina alone, counting
the seven districts, there are total
of "A counties. Alabama has nine
representatives in the house, Missis-
sippi eight, louisiana eight, Texas
l6, Arkansas seven. Missouri 16,
Oklahoma five, North Carolina 10,
Georgia -, Florida four and Ten
nessee 10. Should one bale be bought
in each of the counties in these dis
tricts, not inclusive of two districts
in Texas, one of which is composed
of 5S counties and another As, the
"buy-a-bale" movement will be con-
siderably accelerated.
