Parcel Post and One Cent Postage.

Trade ENhibit has espoused the cause OF the
one Cent Letter Postage association ON the theory
that cent letter postage will reduce the income
OF the Postoffoe department TO such an extent that
the extension Of the parcel Post service win be de-
layed that much Maybe 80. but Il Is more like
thar parcel post will be developed just the same and
tile decit win be Just much larger Parcel post
IL here to stay ana cent letter postage Is Of
benefit mostly 10 the big concerns. II would look
more reasonable 10 rs TO try 60 keep parcel post
rates and weights within reasonable bounds and let
the letter rate slone.--Newman Grove Reporter
The declaration that parcel post is here to
stay is eminently correct, and the only strange
thing about Il is that those who fought against
its adoption do not realize the fact and adjust
themselves TO the situation without trying to
undo something now beyond recall.
The ons-cent letter postage proposition is
entirely separate and distinct from that OF the
parcel post one-oent letter postage will doubt
less come in time just as did two-cent letter
postage. which was as radical departure from
the preceding three-eent rate. Whether reduc-
ton of letter postage works reduction Of total
postal revenues depends entirely upon its effect
upon the volume OF business. For example, Il
is doubtful whether continuance OF the three
cent rate would have shown any better budget
balance than has the two-eent rate
What viii probably postpone letter postage
reduction however, is not parcel post, but the
European war tempting other countries to use
the postoffiee as part OF their taxing machinery

one-cent war stamp tax. thus practically restor.

Helpinr the Farmer in His Work.

Many influences are quietly at work along
scientifically established lines for the improve
nent OF methods Of production, and in no field
OF industry is this more manifest than in agri-
culture. Within a decade farming has been
revolutonized, with the result that the output
has reached stupendous totals. Nowhere have
these improvements found more ready favor or
been more promptly adopted than in Nebraska
The end is not yet, for at conference at Lin
coin the general subject discussed specifi-
cally with view to providing farm demonstra-
tors in those counties that are unable, by reason
OF shortage OF funds. to secure the service Of
these experts The funds are provided Jointly
by the federal government the state and local
community served. The Lincoln meeting de-
veloped that bankers and other business men
not directly engaged in agriculture willing
to enter into arrangements for paying the cost
in order that better ways OF getting things out

wealth comes from the farm, and whatever helps

Behind the Battle Lines.

Dispatches from Europe bring news OF tire
mendous clashes between the armies. with vague
suggestions Of tremendous losses, but the stu
pendous spectacle obscures some Of the moves
that are being made behind the battle line
strategically, II is possible, and even probable,
that the present desperate drive OF the Allies
may be but the screen for a move on the other
side OF the arena Taken with the stubborn re-
sistance and attack OF the Russians along their
front, the activity in the west may well be
looked on as intended TO divert the German plan
OF sending relief to the Turk, whose ability to
resist the attack at the Dardanelles must be
measured by his supply of munitions Under
meath It all may be deserted the desire of the
Allies to place themselves better military
terms with relation to the central powers before
serious talk of peace be had.
