The Iowa Travelers' Protective As­ sociation met at Davenport during the month of May and denounced the par­ cels post bill. ThiB is not a new organization but one that bag existed for a score of years and is favorably known for its wise counsels and sane co-operation. The traveling man knows what the proposed parcels post law means. Many of his clan have toured this country for years, starting in when youth and enthusiasm knew no bounds and continuing until the frosts have come into their hair and the grips they carry are worn and dilapidated. And where, I ask you, are men better calculated to know the country and judge what will be good for country business and country prosperity? The Traveler Knows. The traveling man is on the inside, too, and knows what this merchant and that merchant are doing. He is in every-day touch with the pulse ot credit and knows who is crowded and who is easy financially. Ask this fel­ low who touches trade daily what ef­ fect the parcels post bill will have on the country merchant and he will tell you immediately that it will enable the mail-order houses to make cheaper deliveries, it will give them the chance to advertise goods at so much a pound or yard delivered anywhere, and that It will ruin the country merchant be­ cause It will take business away from him and give it to the n^ail-order concern in the city. The chances are all with the mail-order house and against the country merchant because the mail-order house with large cap­ ital and a big business can buy in carload lots, and in meeting the coun­ try merchant's price, make a larger profit. The commercial man knows that the country merchant, as a rule, makes little more than a living and oftentimes has to worry along to do this. In these days of mail-order competition, It Is difficult to do busi­ ness enough to more than pay his expenses in store and home. When the parcels post becomes a law, if it ever does, the merchant will find him­ self forced from the country store, and the store building will remain vacant. The traveling men know this, and it is a matter of self-protection as well as a matter of principle, that leads them to meet and characterize the proposed bill as unfair and un­ desirable. Meeting Thla Criticism. And, too, the traveling man meets the criticism: That traveling sales­ men and wholesale and retail mer­ chants are unnecessary and expensive factors in trade distribution and that if a proper system of delivery is fur­ nished by the government it will not be necessary to keep supplies In the localities where used, but that these may be drawn by consumers from dis­ tant sources; that the present method of trade distribution is faulty and ex­ pensive and contributes to the high cost of living. They hear that the way to correct this condition' is for the federal government to take hold and carry such goods from wherever they may happen to be, no matter how remote, at a merely nominal charge, carry them frequently at a loss, unmindful of the present heavy deficit in the second class mail de­ partment Answering these premises, Hon. Charles S. Hernly, president of the New Castle (Ind.) Industrial associa­ tion, says: "If the manufacturers of the coun­ try could have found a more econom­ ical and better method of reaching consumers than through the instru­ mentality of the wholesaler and re-, taller, they would have done so long ago. Only in rare instances have such efforts ever succeeded. Through the wholesaler, the manufacturer is en­ abled to use capital in production which otherwise he would have to em­ ploy in marketing his products. The wholesaler furnishes credits to the re­ tailer, thus enabling the latter to fur­ bish credits to his customers. Any sudden retrenchment of the present system through fear or otherwise, by endeavoring to place business upon a cash basis, would create widespread distress." Conditions Abroad. The traveling man is not only a practically educated fellow but be knows considerable about conditions abroad. He knows there are practic­ ally no knights of the grip needed in foreign countries where landed pro­ prietors own the soil and for selfish reasons keep the tillers Of it ignorant. If the poor people do not get to the cities they will not want many thingB of which they are now ignorant, and if the parcels post takes the place of the country store, they will continue to know less and be good working clods on the farms. It is the policy of the landlord to keep his workmen as rural and do­ mesticated as possible. If a dog never has been fed on steak, he will have no craving for It. The untutored for­ eigner who knows only the community Inn and the community tobacco shop will have little desire for the better things of life. The traveling man believes, and cor­ rectly, that parcels post would injure the nation by the destruction of an Im­ portant and necessary force of prog­ ress that makes for originality of mind and individuality of character, and again that it will be injured by the de­ generating influence of a crowding and congested population in the big cities where men lose their individ­ uality and become mere machines. Traveling men believe that we need laws that will encourage and con­ serve the small towns and villages rather than legislation that will de­ plete them. ¥'> - iflf. V -J •, The parcels post bill would Involve the personal welfare of several "hut*- dred thousand traveling men and of many, many wives and children. It would involve the business welfare of a million retail merchants and fifty thousand wholesale merchants. The combined business disturbed would run into the billions of dollars. Legis­ lation carrying with It such grave pos­ sibilities should be made slowly and not without the most careful consid­ eration. It should not be influenced by selfish mail-order houses, neither should it be considered' except as for the greatest good to the greatest num­ ber. The city should not be selfish and endeavor to secure legislation that will tear down the country town--for by so doing it is cutting off its nose to spite its face. The city's recruits always come from the country and with a condition in America like that existing in several of the foreign coun­ tries where the mail-order-parcels- post propositions ara in force, where would tit© cities find the country men sufficiently educated and capable of taking up the metropolitan burdens as they now do? Traveling men stand for a careful investigation of the efTect of a parcels post. They would like to feel that the United States law makers know what they are doing when they vote for a parcels post law--If they do. What the Star Says. The Indianapolis Star in an edi­ torial on the proposed parcels post bill says: "The honest and business-like way for the government to secure cheap and rapid transmission of small mer­ chandise would be to compel the re­ duction of express -charges and in­ crease of express facilities. This, con­ gress is unwilling to do, and therefore takes up the roundabout and expensive method of bringing these charges down by establishment of govern­ mental competition. It Is the same false and costly process we use of re­ ducing public service charges by levy­ ing upon communities to construct du­ plicate and unnecessary competitive plants for gas, telephone, electric lights and street cars." Sham and Pretense. John A. Ordway of Blodgett, Ordway & Webber, Boston, Mass., said before the New England Dry Goods associa­ tion: "I say candidly and truthfully to you, as diligent man of affairs, that "there's a wonderful lot of sugar-coated jsham and pretense about the parcels post agitation, which becomes more apparent the closer the subject is studied. The proponents of this meas­ ure advocate what? Nothing more or less than that the present methods of distributing merchandise shall be changed by legislative enactment, and through and by the centralized power of government control and operation. They propose to ignore existing condi­ tions, rights or qualifications in the carrying trade, or recognized path­ ways of commerce, and substitute the theories that have become an obses­ sion with the dreamers, or have been adopted by the cunning self-seekers as a personal road to easy riches, with the general government as the uncom­ plaining pack horse to bear the bur­ dens; and as potent arguments to con­ vince those who accept broad state­ ments at their face value, without thought or analysis, they depend on two stock phrases: first, the benefit to the farmer, and second, the detriment to the express companies. Sham one; and again, sham two!" Mr. Ordway goes on to prove that should the method of distribution be shifted, the expense of reaching the consumer as proposed would ultimate­ ly be greater, which, combined with the mail order monopoly when once established by governmental assist­ ance, would cause the farmer many re­ grets. He cites the 1909 postal detlclt, second-class matter, at $64,128,000. and by comparison since that time brings the figures to date with appalling realism. He says, by way of com­ ment: "I firmly believe that the develpp- ment of the mail order house or the increased adoption of direct selling by manufacturers, aided by govern­ mental postal delivery, would not con­ fer one benefit on the consumer in cheaper prices. The change of the method of distribution would be mere­ ly the shifting Qi the final price from one shoulder to ute other." Organic* ana Work. Traveling men all over the country should organize to fight the parcels post. The action of tlfce Iowa travelers Is fitting incentive to brother organiza­ tions. The proposed bill will material­ ly affect business in the country from the time of its passage and will event­ ually put 90 per cent, of the traveling men off the road. If you care anything about the progress of the rural com­ munities, if you have the love of your country at heart, do not hesitate. You see brother knights dally. Speak to them of this fight and act promptly, for the time has come to strike from the shoulder, and hard! The powers that stand for selfishness and greed never sleep, and you, in fighting the cause of right, must be vigilant, as well. BYRON WILLIAMS. ORIGIN AND EXCELLENT QUALITIES OF THE POLAND CHINA BREED OF HOGS TO SLASH * 1 * I i VN. - &L., Three Poland China Hogs. By WILLIAM DIETRICH, Professor of 8wlne Hu* ban dry, University of Illinois. The Poland China hog is a good representative of the American ideal, vis., the fat or lard type. Much of the live stock in general and some of the good breeds of swine were import­ ed to the United States from Great Britain, but the Poland China is a typical American representative of the porcine family. It was devel­ oped in'an ideal manner under condi­ tions that were conducive to the pro­ duction of a good type of hog. The original home of the Poland China was in southeastern Ohio. The climate in •this locality is sufficiently mild so that hogs do not have to suffer the handi­ cap of a long, cold winter. Under such conditions, vis., where they have a rather mild, short winter, they are not confined to small houses and pens for such a long period of time, conse­ quently have exercise for a longer pe­ riod during the year. This Is one of the most important requirements of pigs, especially for breeding purposes and for maintaining the usefulness of a breeding herd after It once has de­ veloped. Another important consideration in the development of the Poland China breed Is that it la a composite of a large number of so-called breeds or types of swine that either existed here or were imported into the Unit­ ed States previous to that time. Or­ iginally, of course, all the hogs that entered Into the makeup of the Po­ land China came from some foreign countries, especially Great Britain. Many of these were developed as sub- breeds or types farther east in the United States at an earlier date and finally, as the civilization of the coun­ try moved westward and settled In WHFN AND HOW TO SHEAR FARM FLOCKS By W. C. COFFEY. Assistant Professor of 8heep Hus­ bandry, University of Illinois. To a limited extent, the condition of the wool depends on the time shear­ ing is done. The normal time for shearing farm flocks is from the mid­ dle of April to the middle of May, after the cold weather la over and there have been a number of days too warm for the comfort of unshorn sheep. As a rule the wool would be in better condition If shearing were done early, say about March 1. Thld true par­ ticularly of wool from breding ewes. Where there are barns and equipment for keeping them comfortable, it per­ haps pays better to shear them before they lamb. Often a feverish condition immediately after limbing causes them to slip their wool, with the re­ sult that the fleece Is broken and the amount of wool secured is less than if the shearing were done before lamb­ ing. Then, too. the growth of wool after lambing is likely to be weak, be­ cause much of the ewe's energy is ex­ pended towards the production of milk. Another argument for early shearing is that there are likely to be fewer dung tags. When sheep are turned on the fresh young grass In the spring, the dung becomes soft and inclined tn ptirk to the wool. A frequent objection to shearing early is that the weight of the fleece Is considerably lighter than It would be later on, because there has not been enough warm weather to cauBe the yolk (composed of oil and perspir­ ation) to rise in large quantity. The foregoing statement is true, and since small lots of wool, such as are usually offered from farm flocks, are not pur­ chased on the scoured basis--i. Ohio, which country produced condi­ tions favorable for hog production, the Poland China breed was developed. A considerable number of farmers were engaged In the process and at first produced a variety of strains all of which were mixtures of earlier types and other breeds. Tbe whole was finally put together £hd developed into a breed now called the Poland China. These different strains went by numerous names at an earlier date, but with the adoption of the name of Poland China the breeders all got to­ gether and worked toward the com* mon end, the development of an ideal corn belt hog. The result was that the Poland China, after being first developed, was an excellent hog. It was large, growthy, thrifty and pro­ lific. While it produced a considera­ ble amount of fat meat in proportion to the lean meat, It was of fine qual­ ity and good flavor. Furthermore, the fact that a hog produces fat meat is no disadvantage. The fat meat up­ on being used by the metabolism of the animal body will produce 2.4 times as much energy, or in other words, fat meat has 2.4 times as much fuel value as lean meat. After the period of development or rather during the past few decades the Poland China breed has diverged into two somewhat distinct types which are now called the medium type and the large type. There Is, bow- ever, not a great distinction* between these; the medium type possibly pos­ sesses a little more quality, smooth­ ness, general symmetry and fancy points, while the large type possesses a little more size, vigor and vitality. Taking tbe Poland China breed as a whole, a breeder can find by proper selection all the characteristics that may be especially desired In the fat or lard type of swine. teur this platform will be none too large If ten feet square. The second requisite is to cut the wool off smoothly close to the body. The power machine will cut closer than the hand sheers, but satisfactory work may be done with the latter if the operator is careful and possesses some skill. It Is the tendency of the unskilled shearer, whether using tbe machine or hand shears, to fall to cut close to the sheep's body. For exam­ ple, the shearer may start to cut close to the body, but in advancing the Vandals Attack Stable of Fifty- two Animals and Cut Right and Left. DISEMBOWEL FIFTEEN Shrieks and Groans of the Dying and Wounded Victims Stampede Oth­ ers, Arouse the Night Watch­ man and Frighten the In­ truders Away. Chicago.--Fifteen horses were dis­ emboweled and fatally hurt in a mys­ terious raid on the stables of a trans­ fer company on North Green street, the other morning. Fifty other horses escaped the vandals by breaking out of their stalls and stampeding about the stable. Two suspects are being held by the police at the West Chi­ cago avenue police station, but offi­ cials refuse to give out their names or disclose the evidence against them. No reason for the attack on the horses can be found. With skeleton keys the stable was entered some time after midnight. The horses nearest to the door were at­ tacked first. A sharp razor is thought to have been used, for the wounds are not deep enough to have been made with a long knife, but are so long that an extraordinarily sharp weapon must have been jused. Frightened by the groans of the dy­ ing horses their 6table mates tore loose from their fastenings and stam­ peded about the stable, scaring the vandals away. Shrieks and groans of the wounded horses alarmed the night watchman at 1 o'clock in the morning. When he entered the stable the fifty uninjured hofses were running wild. The Intru­ ders had escaped. Two horses w^re .dead and two were dying. Police were notified and a veterin­ ary surgeon was summoned. He said that all the Injured horses would die. \tylLLING TO SHARE PENNIES Generous Act of 8treet Waif That Gained Him a Friend In Great Novelipt. Charles Dickens, the creator of many delightful child characters, earned a million dollars during his lifetime with his pen, but often walk­ ed the streets of London in search of material for his books without a penny in ills pocket. One evening while doing this h« was accosted by a small boy who asked him for a penny. Dickens search­ ed his pockets, but they were empty, and so he told the boy, who was shiv­ ering in the cold. '"Poor man!" exclaimed the little fellow, "we'll go hunks together!" Dickens stood back In the shadow of the street to see what the outcome would be. The lad continued to beg, and finally gained two pennies. He came dancing to Dickens with a jolly ring in his voice. "Now," he said, "we'll have two hot buns apiece!" Such a generous spirit under such trying circumstances struck Dickens so forcibly that he took the lad home with him, and there he was fed and clothed and started on the road to a better life. YEARS OF MISERY '* • 'ji * $ r SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK Kingsley, Mich.--"Last May my thirteen-months-old baby had a sore come on her cheek. It started in four or five fimall pimples and In two or three hours' time spread to the size of a silver dollar. It spread to her eye. Then water would run from the pim­ ples and wherever that touched it caus­ ed more sores until nearly all one cheek and up her nostrils were one solid sore. She was very fretful. She certainly was a terrible looking child, and nothing seemed to be of any use. "Then I got some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub off everything we put on so that we would sit and hold her hands for two hours at a time, trying to give the medicine a chance to help her, but after I washed it with Cuticura Soap and then put on the Cuticura Oint­ ment they seemed to soothe her and she did not try to rub them off. It was only a few days before her face was all healed up, and there has been no return of the trouble since. Ws thought that baby's face would surely be scarred, but It Is not." (Signed) Mra W. J.

Old Egypt's Laws. You are wrong in thinking that the laws of the ancient Egyptians were Im­ moral. On the other hand, these laws were stringent in enforcing moral con­ duct. The wilful murder of a slave was punished with death, like that of a free man. The exposure of infants carried a sever©, penalty, nor was a woman on the way to maternity per­ mitted to be executed. The adulterer was severely flogged, the adulteress had her nose cut off. A parent who bad killed his child was compelled to sit three days and nights under guard, embracing its body. These laws show that the Egyptians, instead of being steeped in wickedness, were well along in what may be called the Ideal morality. <\ V V, Vs* I New Move In Education.

In the Fleece. the percentage of actual wool In the fleece shorn from the sheep--there is legitimate reason for not shearing un­ til warm weather. Even if the wools in Question were purchased on the scoured basis, another argument for late shearing would be consideration for the animal's health. Tbis is an important matter In those sections where the spring season often is ex ceedingly variable and the shelter is not adequate for comfortably housing the flock. Because of sudden changes from warm to cold, windy weather, shorn shep are likely to contract se­ vere colds which may result in death. This is particularly true of sheep shorn by machine, as this process takes the wool off very close to the body. Tbe first requisite in careful shear­ ing is to provide a clean place to do the wofje. A platform made of sur­ faced lumber Is best, and ft should be of sufficient slse to insure that none of the wool will be crowded off by nervous, unruly sheep. For the ama- A Good Job of Shearing. shears he cannot follow the shape of the animal, and hence some of the wool is cut from a half to an inch away from the skin. He can, and usually does, back up and cut close where he failed in his first attempt. This makes what Is known as second cuts. Because they are so short they are of low value for manufacturing purposes. It is also obvious that the evil of making second cuts makes the fibers in the main body of the fleece shorter and uneven in length, and therefore less desirable. The third requisite is to cut the wool off the sheep without getting the fleece torn apart. There is a knack in holding a sheep so It will not kick and struggle violently; If the shearer is fortunate enough to possess this knack, he is In fair way to have the fleece intact when the operation of shearing is finished. It is not our pur­ pose here to describe shearing in de­ tail, but perhaps it should be said that our most skillful shearers set the sheep on Its rump while shearing it. Its body is tilted back towards the knees of the operator eo that Its hind legs cannot get sufficient contact with the floor to make effective resistance. It Is the adjustment of this proposition that amounts to the knack in holding. Sheep should not be shorn when the wool is damp or wet, for when packed in this condition It will mold and de­ teriorate to such an extent that the iibers are weakened.
