One trouble about mild, open weather in January is that it is sure to bring bad weather, generally causing a late spring and playing smash with the fruit crop, declares Col. Joe Reece, who keeps tab on the weather. January and February last year were anything but "open," with the result that when it did moderate it remained so and we had an abundant fruit crop.

MILKS MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. • The Effort to Revoke Taft's Civil Service Order Pails in House. Washg'n, Jan. 12.-An attempt to revoke President Taft's recent order placing fourth-class post master under civil service, and to remove the classification from assistant postmasters and clerks in first and second class post offices by amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, fail ed in the House today, but the bill carrying $278,000,000 was passed. The amendment to revoke the President's order was lost 141 to lOfi. The bill shows an increase of seven million over the appropria tions for the present year, due largely the parcels post. THE DANB URY REPORTER Claudville, Va. Claudville, Va., Jan. 18. —Quite a lot of sickness in our commun ity and some deaths. Measles is raging. Mr. Joe Martin and family, who have been at Rocky Ford, Col., for the past five years, have returned, expecting to make this country their home. Mr. Riley Roberson, an aged man of this place, died last week of pneumonia. Mr. R. M. Stanley, of Mt. Airy, is visiting friends and relatives at this place. Mr. Boise Burge, of Greens boro, is visiting his uncle, Mr, W. R. Burge. He expects to leave the 20th for Kansas City, Missouri. Mr. Edgar Burge, accompanied by his sister, Miss Delia, spent Saturday and Sunday with Misses Lula and Ada Martin. Mr. Russell Mcintosh left last week for Chattannooga, Tenn. We wish him a pleasant trip, Mr. J. C. Heath has begun the erection of a new dwelling. Messrs. L. F. Anderson and Joe Martin called on Misses Lucy and Martha Handy Sunday after noon. Parcels Post Opportunities By Aid of Advertising. Some of our readers may profit from the following which ap peared in the Greensboro News Wednesday : In Asheville the parcels post has reached such proportions that wagon service for delivery has already been mustered in. The new system has won derous possibilities, for the producer, the consumer and the merchant alike. The pro ducer now has a way of deliver ing his products directly to the consumer while the merchant can deliver his wares at the farmer's mail box. For the mercha.it to get the most out of his rural trade, he should ad vertise the most intelligently who will get the most customers. Quote the prices, so the farmer and his wife, in sitting by their evening fireside, may see just what the merchant offers and at what price. Intelligent adver tising will work just as effectively for the farmer, who cannot spare time to come to town to peddle his eggs and butter and other products. By advertising his fresh, pure products, he can work up a nice mail order business. Oftentimes, it would be much cheaper for the farmer to pay a little postage than to lose a whole day from his farm work. In England where the parcels post has been established for years, farmers have become great users of advertising space. As we said yesterday, the parcels post is now in the ex perimental stage but its success is assured and the individuals and the firms who quickly grasp its full significance will be the ones who will realize the most from it.

Hunt For Surry Outlaws Temporarily Abandoned Greensboro News. The hunt for the Surry county assailants of Deputy Marshall Harkrader and Sheriff Davis has been temporarily abandoned and Deputy Blaylock and Deputy Carroll, who were dispatched to the scene upon report of the | affair, have returned to the headquarters here. Deputy I Blavlock says that there is little 1 new in the way of particulars of: the attack, the newspaper re ports carrying substantially the same facts as gained by the in- \ vestigation of the officers. He says the prisoner in cus today of Deputy Harkrader and I Sheiiff Davis at the time of the assault was Mack Todd and that the only two men known to have been engaged in the fight were C. E. Todd, a brother of the prisoner, and Frank Brooks. There were several whose j identity has not yet been estab-; lished. All of these men have taken refuge in the wilds of the ! mountains and the officers con sider it useless to continue the ! search for the time being. Mr. Blaylock says the Mt. Airy soldiers ordered out by the Governor were recalled before \ they reached the scene, the impracticability of soldiers. marching about the mountains in search of a struggling band ; of outlaws being quickly re-, cognized. Mr. Blaylock reports that! Deputy Harkrader is getting along well and that he will re-: cover and have little to show in | the way of scars for this ex perience. Signs of Prosperity. News and Observer. The crops in most parts of North Carolina have been very good for the past few years, and the prices of farm products have been higher than in many years. The farmers are gener ally more prosperous than be fore. The Kinston Free Press prints this item showing a prac tical result of prosperity : "In one week since the holi days, J. O. Suggs, the register of deeds at Snow Hill, cancelled over $150,000 in mortgagee on Greene county real estate. The sign of prosperity is attributed to the county's being exclusively a farming community and ex periencing with the other coun ties of the section, the most favorable crop conditions and harvests during 1912 that it has in years." When farming pays the farmers pay their debts, cancel their mortgages and the money goes into circulation. So pros perity goes all around.
