FARMERS THREATEN TO
STOP PRODUCING

The statement that producers of
foodstuFs were making but little use
of the postal service in the distribution
of their farm commodities, and that
many are threatening to cut down pro-
duction because of the high price of
labor and farm implements, and dis
inclination on part of the farmer to
"labor fourteen and sixteen hours
daily to supply the necessities of life
to high paid, short hour urban resi-
dents" is made by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General James l.. Blakes-
lee in a letter to Senator n. i. Dial,
member of the postoffice and postroads
committee of the senate.
The Blakeslee letter said that an in
yestigation showed that farmers were
sending out an average of only one
package a day by each rural mail car
rier. His letter continues:
"The replies to our QUESTIONABLE not
only indicate a desire on part of the
food producer for improved facilities
of transportation and distribution, but
explain in detail the tremendous diff
cuties under which the producers are
endeayoring to meet the demands made
on them.
About 10000 communications are
now at hand, and of those who make
any comment beyond an explicit
answer to our questions, there are
none who do not complain bitterly of
the shortage of labor, of the high price
they must pay for the same, and of the
cost of fertilizer and farm implements,
and cite as indication of their attitude
that they propose to reduce and sus-
pend production, and that they do not
propose to labor fourteen and sixteen
hours daily for high paid, short hour
urban resident consumers.
THE uniformity of comment was
sufficiently impressive to warrant
reference for legislative consideration
and to that end the postmaster general
has declared in no uncertain terms that
the restrictions which now prevent the
maximum use of the facilities of the
postal service be modified forthwith"

SCHOOL BOARDS

1t will soon be time to hire teachers.
If you have a good teacher do not let
some other district get her because of
few dollars difference in salary or
because somebody in the district has a
particular grudge against her because
she "mistreated" some pet child. Good
experienced teachers are not as plenti-
full as they should be and only a good
teacher is a cheap teacher The poor
teacher is the highest priced PROPOSE
ton you have in the country not be-
cause of the pay she gets but because
of the education which your children
fail to get This county was fortunate
the past year in its supply of teachers.
Only one school was closed month
before we could secure teacher. This
was not true of the rest of the state.
Over 250 schools were closed for most
Of the past year and indications are
that this shortage will be greater the
coming year. If you are not sure that
your teacher is good teacher, consult
your superintendent and when hiring a
new teacher be sure you get the sup
erintcndents recommendation if you
want to avoid mistakes.

HOPES FOR THE
ELECTION OF COX

On last Wednesday afternoon an
old man appeared at the Casino on
State street, at 4:30 in the afternoon
in order to be sure of being adj
mitted and patiently waited the COM
ing Of Governor Cox. The man was
C. H. HAYES, of Devon and his OBJ
ject was to hand the Governor a let
ter which he had received from his
niece in st. Louis, Mo. The con-
tents of the letter were as follows:
My Dear Uncle:
I do hope Mr.. Cox will be elected,
that no more wars will be possible.
My only son, Is years old, just en-
tering college, was killed in France,
he was the picture of health, bloom
ing into manhood, and now my joys,
hopes and all that was dearest to a
Mothers heart are blasted, leaving
me Frustrated heart and soul.
Do tell all mothers to think of
me and all women voters, that this
their first vote do give it to Cox and
the League Of Nations. This will
surely prevent another such catas-
trophy, with 100000 orphans and
100000 weaping mothers now from
the last world war.
Is it possible that women will do
otherwise, thereby showing to the
world this noble spirit women pos
sess of Love, Humanity, Wisdom and
the worlds blessing.
