The Rural Express

oOme years ago tue government
through the postal and aerie ulture
departments, started out to bring
the consumers and producers OF
food products closer together, and
save expense of middleman Plans
were formed to encourage shipping
of supplies by parcel post direct
from the farms to families in cities
and towns.
In many thousands of households
eggs. butter, fruit, vegetables etc,
are now received regularly through
the post Office. This business could
be greatly increased. if farmers
would advertise products extensive
ly.
Recently the postal department
has advanced another step by es-
tablishing number of experiment
al motor truck postal routes. These
collect farm produce and supply
the farm households with goods
from the towns The experiment
is reported so far to be successful
on the financial side.
Now it is said that all over the
country rural express lines are be-
ing startei by private enterprise to
run little routes from the market
lines out into the country These
are organized primarily to trans.
port goods. out they also make pur
chaseS for the farm families, and
they act as selling agents for many
products.
Thus a beginning is being made
on giving &he farm country the
same facilities that manufacturing
towns have always had. In a large
sized city you usually find a good
number OF small express companies
which run out TO near by industrial
towns and transpor: raw materials
and finished products But the
country towns have not had these
facilities.
Every town that is the center of
a farming district should have its
rural express covering the surround
ing country. dividing up. the cost of
transporting goods, saving the time
of the farmer and his helpers.

formulating peace program that
will dispose of all the vexatious
questions with which the Peace
Conference must deal, says the New
York World. it may be sure that
the President of the United States,
the Prime Minister of Great Britain
and the Premier Of France would
welcome its assistance. But If the
Senate is not capable of giving this
practical help, the least it can do is
to refrain from nagging and bull
doing and threats. Day after day
senatorial orators who have barely
read the headlines in the morning
papers rise in their seats and pro-
coed to tell the Peace Conference
what it must not do and what it
must not think and what it must
not consider, but there is never
constructive suggestion.
While vociferOusly asserting their
rights as part of the treaty.makine
power of the United States, the
Senators who are declaiming
against the reported decisions of the
Peace Conference seem to be afraid
chiefly that any general treaty will
be made with Germany or that this
country will assume in the peace
any of the responsibilities they
helped fix upon it when they voted
for war.
Unless there is A peace that is
underwritten by the nations that
crushed Prussianism, the ultimate
victory will rest with Germany. 1t
will be impossible to collect the in

guarantee the boundaries of Europe,
it will be impossible to prevent the
organization of a new coalition to
crush France aud the small nations,
it will impossible to stabilize in any
way the triumph of democracy
which has cost so much blood and
treasure, and it will be impossible
to prevent repetition of this war
If the activities of the Lodges, the
Kuoxes, the Borahs, the Hardings

is that there shall be no general
treaty of peace with Germany, and
and hence no treaty that can be
enforced-that the victory Shall

Why People Succeed


working order, can not keep it in
mind Nothing irritates employers
more than to have to give out an
order over and over again. If one
can not grasp instructions in any
other way, he should at once reduce
them to writing. He should refer
to them until be knows them 10y
heart, and understands the princi
pie of the thing.
But no worker should ever think
that he solved his problem merely
when he acquired what kno Wedge
is held by those who instructed him,
All industry is in the process of de-
velopment. The great majority of
workers are merely content to keep
along with the same methods their
predecessors used before them.
The worker who takes that point
of view may think he keeps his
work up to standard But he rarely
does. Materials and machines and
processes are always changing. Un-
less there is a contant effort to work
out new and better methods of
operation, the work tends to fall off
The methods that used to be good
will not fit as materials and condi-
tons change. The farmer who
thinks he can succeed on the me-
thods used successfully by his fat her
finds at last that the vitality has
been taken out of the soils and that
he must revolutionize his methods.
The factory operative will find that
his raw material is constantly alter
ing. and that he must study it's
changes and adjust methods to fit
them.

An item based upon the school
survey which Gov. Gardner ordered,
says that Missouri is seveneth in
wealth, fifth in agriculture, third in
hogs and corn, second in mules,
first in poultry, first in pure bred

thirty second in education. The
argument is that Missouri ought to

The Spirit Of the
Victory Liberty Loan

We are just entering the pc
Rod Of another great govern
ment loan, the fifth which the
people of America have been call
ed upon to support.
These loans have been the most
splendid lessons in thrift ever
bestowed upon us, and no matter
how much personal iHconve-
nience and scrimping and saving
have been caused by them they
have been worth it all.
At the close Of the fourth Lib
erty Loan campaign last Octo-
Der it was estimated that our
war economics had developed an
army of 100000 new savers.
The Victory Liberty Loan will
increase this number by many
thousands.
It has been the custom to count
the results of our loan campaigns
in the billions of dollars that
have been realized. But the net
results in the introduction Of
thrift habits among our people
is of far greater value. It is rec
ognized, of course, that there
are many who, under patriotic
pressure, buy these securities
and then shortly afterwards dis
pose of them. However, in the
greater number of cases the
bonds are held, the savings thus
started are added to, homes are
purchased and other prudent in
vestments are made.
Moreover our wartime thrift
has a sacred aspect, that could
have been gained through no
other form of economy. We
have been saving our money in |
a glorious cause. With our dol
lars we have been building bull
warks to defend the very life Of |
civilization. We bought Liberty !
Bonds for the same purpose that |
our soldiers fought at Chateau |
Thiefry, Aryonne Forest and st. |
Mihel, and with the same spirit !
that drove our forces smashing
through the Hindenburg line.
Thrift is commendable under
any circumstances, but when
practiced for a cause such as this, |
it is raised to the heights Of
sublimity.
And this is the spirit with
which we enter this new cam
paign.
The days of fighting are over,
but the need of thrift is just as
vital now as it was at any time,
and no new circumstances has
lessened the necessity Of supper
ting the Victory Liberty Loan.
It is a privilege that we are
permitted to participate in this
cause, which represents the
greatest epoch in history and the
furtherest heights Of human
II
OF no less significance is the
fact that this loan drive win be

Therefore, on account Of the session
