With all due respects to our

Herald must take exceptions to
the statement made in his great
indianapolis speech that the re-
publican party hasn't mad new
idea in thirty years. The repub-
lican party--what there was left
of it, got an idea this last year
that the part sloughed off two
years ago could be switched back
into the fold again and a stand

And of course they will have
still another idea after the 1916
election.

Congressman
Keating's
Letter

Washington d. e., For the
first time in seventy eight years
the postal establishment has
paid into the United States fu..ds
to be used for gencr | purposes.
Putting the proposition in differ
ent language-for the first time
in three quarters of century
Uncle Sam is making money out
of his new postoffice. He re.
ceived a very tidy dividend last
| year-aboul 8, 500, ,OO-and Post
master General Burleson says
that is only a beginning.
The wining out of the postal
deficit is enc of the substantial
achievements of the Wilson ad-
ministration. In 1909, under
Taft, congress had to appropri-
ate almost $50, 900, ,ooO to make
good the deficiency for that
year.
The marvellous development OF
parcels post under democratic
direction is largely responsible
for tile prosperity of the postal
service. AS an example of that
growth, tile postmaster general
points out that at the fifty lead
ing postoffices of the country
the number of packages handled
in the first fifteen days Of April,
1914, showed an increase of 146.
per cent over the number hand.
lied in the first fifteen days of
October, 1918.
And yet the parcel post is in
the infancy of its development
When the railroads are compelled
to give it the same treatment
they ae cord the express compa,
nies it will produce a profit Of
$50, 900, 600 a year, in addition to
cutting rates in two and materi.
ally increasing efficiency of ser.
vice. ~.
A few years ago congress APP
propriated $40, 600 for rural free
delivery. This year the appro-
priations for carriers on star and
rural routes total GAL, 100000. +
The rail roads receive about
$50, 900, 600 for transporting the
mails. They are always com
planning but it can be demonstrat-
ed that they make more
money out of carrying the mails
than they do out of the passen-
ger business. The fact is, tbt
rail roads are whining not SO
much because of the damage
! they are sustaining, but because
their friends, the express COM
panies, are being put out of bus
iness.

the COMING
GREATER BACA co.

! GREATER BACA co
To the friends aud readers o
,the Springfield Herald:
| l want to say few woI de a
bout the coming Greater Bac'
County"
l can see very plainly that Bacs
county is stretching out to gree
the coming years with prosper
Iity and u good living for every
body.
With u truck line from here II
Lamar IN assured thing, it is g
sure cinch that milking COWS
and skimming your own milk al
home will mean a sure living fol
the Raca countyite who has ter
good COWS.
There isn't a single doubt but
that the hog and Plymouth rock
hen will make gotd here. Gel
all the hens and turkeys and
guinies AMI geese and ducks
that you can. They are protita'
lble and they make the old home
stead look home like.
Build that hen house on some
up-,o-date method if. possible.
1t will pay you bigger returns
OH the investment than anything
else you could invest $50 in.
l would recommend the dairy
type of cows. such as the Hols-
te;n Friesian. A COW that will
give sixty pounds of milk per
day Is worth keeping. That is a
low average for the above type
of COWS. They run as high as
ninety pounds q day.
They arc considered to be the
best type for dairy men.
High grade Holsteins are high
in price-from 500 to $3.50 per
head; but you are soon repaid in
returns from the milk. In 9TH
er words the first cost is tile fin
al cost.
There is another thing that
goes along with the good old dai,
nv COW: that is IA Simrpies cream
, separator They nre i'll price
something like the Holstein>; but
like them the first cost IL also
the final cost
In the making of IL real greater
Baca County there is something
needed besides COWS, hogs, and
hens.
The first other thing are
schools that make better men
and better women. To have
schools we must have school
houses.
Then as fast as these school
houses are built, secon.I factor
in great Baca county is to
use them for places of worship
and particularly for Sabbath
schools.
1t takes them all to make a
Greater Baca County: and !
; would suggest that while we are
pulling for the COW, the hog, and
the hen, that We also pull for
these other things, and set the
good example before our child
rem that they may follow in these
better ways instead of following
the world and its wiles.
With trust and hope for Us all,
I rep- ain,
