John A Rigg, president Of the Inter

sued a statement, saying in part;
"There was mailed today by the Real

TO repeat what / said last year, that
our parcel post Is proving the wisdom
Of its champions. Let us hope that
nothing will be done 20 interfere with
it's operation. but that il may be
simplified and extended as oppor
tunity will permit. We believe that
lengthening OF the routes has been
detrimental to the service and that
the greatest benefit to patrons lies in
the shorter routes, serving as far as
possible the sections adjacent the diff
ferent postOiilces, so that mail may be
received and answered with the least
possible delay. Late deliveries caused
by the so-called automobile routes are
especially 'inconvenlent to fruit and
truck growers, who need their mar
ket reports in the early part Of the
day. The parcels post rural delivery
service will need careful watching
for a long time as there are interests
that would let no opportunity pass
to curtail its usefulness.
THE cause OF temperance Is push
ing steadily onward. Business men
and corporations are recognizing the
ineiiiciency OF the man who uses al
cohol and are stunning him more and
more Since our last meeting four
more States have been added to the
dry column. and others missed II by
narrow margins. To them we say
keep at Il and success will finally be
yours. We, too. must find some way
to prevent the indiscriminate shipping
Of liquor TO anyone who can raise the
price. II is a menace Of the worst
kind

crime. but some OF IL is so laughable
and ridiculous that It is worthy OF
mention only because Of the insanity
OF it,
THE farmer of today is, in a meas
ure, a manufacturer and Re obliged TO
buy on the market all manner of mill
feeds, fertilizers, machinery, imple-
ments. fuel and other supplies, many
of which have doubled in price. Add
10 this the scarcity of and high price
OF labor. with the shorter hours, and
the farmer should receive even better
prices for his products than he Is re-
ceiving today. II would appear that
the proper plea for the consumer
would be to get closer TO the producer
and save q part OF the difference be-
tween what the former pays and the
latter receives.
Education.
"As an order we have always
claimed that the children from the
rural districts we're entitled 10 equal
educational facilities 10 those from
the towns. Some cases or serious
discrimination have recently been
brought 10 light. and We should de-

ELLIS COUNTY GIRLS RECsfv I'D
EXPERT INSTRUCTION FROM
TEACHERS.
Mrs. Davis Class Was second Larg-

Ia the Dallas Dele
cation.

Home Demonstration Agent Mrs.
X. Hanks Davis is highly pleased at
the success OF the short course held
at A. and NJ. recently which was at
tended By thirteen of the Ellis Coun-
" Canning club girls. Nett TO Dali
las county Ellis furnished the larg-
est delegation for this special course
which held closest attention at Col
lege Station for one week IL was
anything but pleasure trip. al
though the participants had good
time.
Mrs Davis and her thirteen girls
left Waxahachie early on Sunday
morning and joined Mrs. Marshall
and eighteen girls from Dallas eoun-
ty at Ennis. They travelled on to
College Station In special car. The
trip down was featured by a most
unique Sunday school conducted by
Miss Elsie Graham of Dallas.
The special course work began
Monday morning at eight o'clock and
consisted of lectures by Miss Gear
ing OF the State University extern
sion department, Miss Simpson of A.
and NJ. Mr.. Scott, state agent of Vir-
ginia, and Miss Bernice Carter, state
agent of Texas. Following the lee
lures each day would come actual
demonstration work in cooking, can
ming and basketry. The special
course included general home eco
Monies but the canning club girls de-
voted their efforts to the canning
work and cooking.
A special feature in which the Ell
lis county girls took part was can
ming contest. Two Ellis county girls
contested for honors in this event.
Ellis county was awarded a prize for
having brought to the station the
second largest delegation.
On Friday afternoon before the
close of the special course the ladies
of Bryan came out to the station
and gave reception on the lawn.
This was enjoyed very much by both
old and young. The browning Of
Miss Annie Wolf OF Bee county IS
queen was very interesting enter
tainment in which Ellis county girls
participated. Three of Mrs Davis
girls took as many principal parts in
a playlet that followed the crown
ing event.
The girls made the most of their
to get information con-
corning canning club worn. They be-
gan their work at eight O'Clock in
the morning and labored until five
o'clock with only one hour intermis-
sion for lunch. In the evenings they
were treated to a most instructive
picture show.
The young ladies as well as Mrs.
Davis feel that the trip to College
Station was well worth the price and
effort. Valuable information was
gathered from the lectures delivered
by the people who have specialized
in this particular branch of work.
