How Convenience Counts

The persistence of the postofce department in it's
attempt to bring farmer and consumer closer to-
Ii gether ought ultimately to be rewarded Since the
establishment of the parcel post constant efforts have been
made to bring the two into profitable relationship
The newest plan affecting this district for motor truck
service in the middle One truck will pass each
farmhouse along the route day collecting butter
eggs and other produce for cities farther on the wav The
trucks will be operated in relays each vehicle making so
or 90 miles day The service is for the CARRYING parcel
post packages and will be conducted separately from any
other postofce activity
Thus far governmental efforts to bring producer and
into closer touch have not been conspicuous y
success.
10 deal directly with the public involves change of
system to which the farmer for generations has been ac
customed. Instead Of selling in quantities at low price
he is asked to sell moro frequently and in smaller amounts
at higher price.
After trial some farmers take the view that the Xt,
work is not rewarded i'll the additional price received
longer trial. an Improvement in the transportation
tenn such as is represented in the governmental ser
vice may convince him that it is profitable Many farm
ers, oath to make the required change in their routine
have not made any attempt to deal directly with the con-
sumner The daily passing of the government farm-to-
table truck may move them to give the plan trial.
The present distribution system, everybody recognizes
is wasteul and expensive Service rendered by middle
men, sometimes beneficial not always obvious their
reward Governmental aid given in the proposed SER
vice may better conditions
Whether it will work not depends upon whether
farmer and consumer seriously interested enough

undoubted conveniences afforded by the middcmen.

END OF IMMIGRATION.

The immigration period OF American
history seems to be approaching its
end. Figures just made public by the
department of labor show almost a
cessation of immigration. July is the
last month covered by the report, but
it tells the story.
During this midsummer month 1857
aliens migrated TO the United States
and 1894 departed. The net gain to
the population was only a trifling 773,
as compared with the thousands and
the tens of thousands of other years
OF the immigrants Mexicans and Span
iards and African negroes made the
largest contributions. Almost alone
they ST, led. Most of the other races
resident in this country lost more
than they gained,
Italians flowed back to Italy. The
departures of the Firms and the
French and the English were more
numerous than the arrivals. Travel
between Austria Hungary and the
Balkan region and this country is of
course closed War and the subma-
rine appear TO have written the final
period of this-chapter. Possibly this
humantide will again begin to flow
when peace comes, but it is not safe
to predict. At any rate, If the process
has been stopped enormous changes
will be made in our institutions.
Up to 1910. 100000 immigrants
had come to the United States. Dur
ing the single year 1907 nearly 1900
600 aliens entered this country. At
different periods the immigrant set
tiers have exercised various influences
upon the developments of the nation.
After the English and Irish and Scotch
came the Germans with their enormous
quotas during the Gays when human
freedom was stii1 sought by the sub
jects of the Hohenzollerns.
The present United States Is tho
result OF this haphazard composition
of the races. Shut off immigration
and we shall doubtless proceed along
other lines. The strength of foreign
suggestion will be damned. The proc
ess of assimilation of immigrants now
here will be accelerated. America wall
connote something new. We seem to
be at the end and at the beginning of
an era.

nave friend who is over in France
and we both have declared our love
for each other. He has heen gone
several months and ! have not heard
IRON him once, but while he was in
the United states l received several
letters from him. Now there is an
other who loves me and wants me to
marry him.
People tell me not to worry. but go
ahead and marry the second.
l know | could be satisfied with the
second until the first comes back, and
even then | would not let the first
come in between my husband and my
self. | have tried to forget the first.
but | can never do It.
DO you think he has forgotten me?
And what would you advise me to do?
My folks are awful cross and are
all the time quarreling with me.
BUM, Ida. WAITING NJ.
Do not marry. Trust the first man
because you love him. l can tell
from the tone of your letter that Won
want TO get away from your family
and settle down and that you are not
in love with the second man. You
simply feel that you could live happily
with him. At the same time you know
YOU could live happily without him.
Such should not be the case. There
arc many reasons why you do not hear
from the boy in France. Don't expect
letters Trust him and helm him with
your faith
You will ruin your whole life If vou
enter into a loreless marriage now
The other man will want Won when
he comes back. and If he finds VIZ, al
