PARCEL POST AND THE FARMER

PARCEL POST AND THE FARMER
The parcel post was instituted to
benefit the producer and the con-
sumner. No doubt the farmer is the
man who should reap the greater re-
ward from the parcel post. He
grows what the consumer in the
city needs and must have. For a
small sum of money he can put his
products down at the door of the
consumer who will pay him good
price for them. Yet to the present
moment how few farmers are really
availing themselves of the parcel
post. Look at the advertising COL
umns of the papers published in the
cities, and you will seldom see the
advertisements of farmer who is
trying to get in touch with the con-
sumner in the city. No doubt the
consumer would be glad to find the
honest farmer who would furnish
butter, eggs and vegetables that are
fresh and good even at the price he
must pay the city merchant.
Mr.. Trotter, who is the chief
| clerk of the first assistant postmaster
general, is making a tour of the
western states to ascertain how the
parcel post is being handled. He
has been pleased at the speed and
ease with which the mail men handle
the business, but he has also learned
that the farmers have not fully real
lied what the parcel post system
means to them.
Here is what he says: 1--WE find
that the city has taken the fullest
advantage of the parcel post to send
packages out to the country; but
there has been comparatively little
produce coming in from the country
to the city; yet this is where the
system offers its greatest possibil-
tiles. 1t was to increase the flow of
parcel post mail from the country
to the city that Mr.. Burleson recon-
mended the increase of the weight
limit from twenty to fifty pounds. !"
So the producer and the consumer
should wake up to this fact. Some
how a plan ought to be formed by
which the consumer and the pro.
Queer can come in close contact.
The town business man is not the
only one that should be benefited
by this new plan. He is advertising
his stuff extensively. 1t pays him,
and why should it not pay the
farmer to get in touch with the con-
sumner. Then would it not pay the
consumers in the city to get together
and do little advertising for their
needs from the farm? An organiza-
ton like this would put the farmer
in touch with those who would be
willing to buy his products.
In order for the parcel post to be
satisfactory to the consumer the
farmer must be honest, clean, eff
Gent, prompt. He cannot fool his
customers and hold business. The
produce must be first class in every
respect. 1t must also be clean. The
filthy producer will soon be out of
business. He must be prompt in
his deliveries so that his customers
will not be disappointed and put to
great inconvenience. This will en-
able him to meet any competition.
1t seems that the government has
spanned the chasm between the con-
sumner and the farmer, and the par
eel post should be encouraged and
used extensively by the farmer.

War as a Home-Maker.

II can't blame the young women

deeds OF heroism!"
Neither do l." answered the other
woman, who was considerably older
my husband is Spanish war vet
eran, and made hero of him when
the boys went away in 1898. And
have never regretted it."
"Ah! So there is lasting quality
behind all the glitter and uniform!"
Yes. indeed. A few months OF gov.
ernment rations were enough to keep
him from complaining about home
cooking for the rest Of his natural
life. Lot the girls. fall in love with

him back into the beat again

Very soon the beat began, and
shouts of "Wharlu" filled the air. 1t
was silence for a space, and then a
shot was fired on my right, following
the "woofwoof" of bear as he dashed
down towards the beaters The fool

hit him with the shotgun. There was
sure to be trouble, so l got up and ran
down through the jungle in the direc-
ton the bear had gone. But quick as
! was, was too late. The wounded
bear had met a beater on his way
down and had mauled him badly, TAX
ing most of his face away and clawing
him severely about the body. The poor
Fellow looked done for; there was no
time to stop, and | rushed on, to find
the bear mauling another man. On
seeing me he left the man and charged
full at me. have never seen such a
sight as he looked as he came toward
me, covered with blood, his eyes glar-
ing and red, and a terrible wound in
his side | let him get close up to
me, and then gave him the SIT be-
tween the eyes.
Over he went, and did not move
again. Then the head shikari, with
great presence of mind and pluck,
came from behind bush, stalked the
dead bear carefully, and at two yards
fired, but unfortunately missed, even
at that range. He would not believe
it was really dead, and kept saying,
vinced till l sat on its head. Just
then the rajah came putting through
the jungle, thinking | was still in my
place, yelling to me to bring him more
cartridges. The bear measured six
feet seven inches.
The next thing was to attend to the
unfortunate beaters. The worst case

Srinagar, where the other followed
next day, after being doctored by US
in camp. / am glad to say we heard

though without any particular Incl

creditable share. We also incidentally
managed to get considerable amount
of other game, such as musk-deer,
scrow and pig, besides any amount of
duck and snipe shooting. Our host
had been most kind and hospitable,

were most sorry to part company in

Eiffel Tower still Strong.

The twenty-fifth birthday of the Elf
fel tower was celebrated few days
ago The great iron structure, nearly
1000 feet high, has now become an
accepted landmark of Paris; but
when 1t was first erected there was
a storm of protests from such well
known names In the. world of art as
Gounod, LIE Conte, de Lisle, Coppee,
Bonnat and de Maupassant, who
signed a petition against 1t.
The tower is extraordinarily light
for its size. For many years the belief
was persistent that one fine morning
it would be found leveled to the
ground. The result is that the Champ

the man who fin would sleep just hands out
curses large and deep, and signs: It'll leave the

when tired and heavyeyed, can hold some slum-
Der down." So to some bosky dell he speeds,
convinced twill answer all his needs, and with a
farmer boards; and in the morn, when dawn is
gray, he hears the hoot and grunt and bray of
all the barnyard hordes. The cows are bawling
passing we'll, the irisky mules rear up and yell,
the porkers voice their woe; the goats, the guinea
hens, the geese get busy and disturb the peace,
the ~bughouse roosters crow. And in the dawn

in dead and living tongues, and, though he wears
out both his lungs, 1t doesn't help him much.
