BECK ADVISES
AGAINST Loss
BY PEDDLINC

Farmers have not taken hold of the
idea of specialization to a great ex-
tent as both workmen and profess
SIGNALS in the cities have done, &C
cording to Postmaster Beck. The
average farmer does not appreciate
the value of part Of his day suffici-
emily, he said. His deductions were
taken from the records made by the
parcel post service.
"As a whole, the farmer is not TAX
ing advantage Of the parcel post for
disposing of his goods" said Mr.. Beck.
THE farmer wants as much for pro-
ducts he mails in as the grocer
charges. On the other hand. the far
mer will load up a wagon and come
to town and sell his stuff to the
grocer at wholesale price or else
peddle it at a great loss of time. He
usually wants the purchaser by parcel
post to pay the postage, too.
Farmer Should Specialize
IF the farmer would specialize on
farming, he would make bigger pro-
fits. ] know of examples of farmers
who come to town and turn merchant,
taking a bushel or two of his own
potatoes, adding a crate of commits
sion eggs and box of oranges and
selling them at a market stand"
It may be that the farmer would
come to town as frequently if he had
no selling to do, Mr.. Beck said. They
are welcome, he said, and they are
expected to come in for their diver
sions and pleasures. In spite of the
advantages it affords for the farmer
the parcel post is an institution for
the people of the cities, he said.
Mr.. Beck received a letter from a
farmer in Danville. ILL.,, asking for in
formation on farming on shares here
He enclosed a clipping from a Dan
vile newspaper of statement made
by Ivan T. Beck, township supervisor
Of agriculture, announcing the short
age of farm hands and the influx of
farmers children to the cities.

HIGHWAY BILL
MEETS PROTEST
OF COMMISSION

County commissioners In session
Saturday officially joined In the vigor-

highway commission bill which has
been presented to the legislature.
Letters bearing the signatures OF
members Of the board were sent to
William Bartel, Wayne county's rep

resentative of Wayne and Union coun-
ties, and Walter McConaha. senator
from this county, asking them to OPP

The commissioners are not opposed
to highway commission but object

bill Neither are the commissioners
unmindful of the fact that Indiana is
one Of the two states in the union
without highway commission and
thereby unable to take advantage OF
the federal aid

see Indiana laid open to the work OF
a great political machine for the sake
of securing money for road building
from the national government.
''The proposed bill gives too much
power to central body and to one
man, the state engineer" the commits
sioners agreed "Tt is said by people
who are In position to know that
the bill if passed would make possible
development Of the most powerful
machine imaginable. Everything con-
corning the smallest county roads
would have TO go through the office of
the state engineer. Even the minor
county appointments would be some

state oiice.
Besides, II Is likely that under the
proposed bill the commission would
develop all the principal thorough
