Congress is now having a lively fight over the bill to increase mail rates, including second class matter, that applies to newspa pers and magazines, and third class matter, which includes circulars and other printed mat ter, as well as Parcel Post. This bill, if passed, is sure to add still further to the high cost of living. It wijl mean that every time a farmer ships a ham, or a dozen eggs to his city customer they will cost more. A great basiness of this sort throughout the country has been built up and if this increase goes into eftect, it is sure to have an inju rious effect on the prosperity of the farmer. The farmer has had nothing but lean years since Woodrow Wilson left the White House, and the Parcel Post was of no service to the country what ever until Woodrow Wilson enter ed the White House, and his Post master General secured such rates from Congress as enabled tho Parcel Post to become a real serv ice to the people. More Graft. The occasion for the proposed increase in the Postal rates is a bill to increase the salaries of tho Post Office employees to the extent of s3ooper annum. This increase will mean a tax on the American people of over $68,000,000 per annam. It has been discovered that a big slash fund has been raised by the lobbyists in Wash ington-to increase the Postal rates and also increase the salaries of the Post Office wprkers. ' ..Where The Trick Comes In. The o'ne point whifch the public does not appreciate is the fact that the proposed increase in sal aried only lasts for one year, whereas the increase in the Postal rates is to be permanent. The Republicans have not dared, ho far, to change the rates from what they were as W ilsou left them, bat now they are proposing to increase these rates for the ben- eflt of the Post Office workers, but as the increase in rates is to be permanent and the increase in salaries is only to be for one year, it will be readily seen that a triek is being played on the public which, as usual, is to be the goat in this skin game. More Graft. Furthermore, by increasing the rates on the Parcel Post, the ex press companies will be enabled to compete more effectively with the Pan el Post, and consequently the millionaire stockholders of the express companies will draw much bigger dividends on their stock, onsequently, when the Hepubl ican National Committee wants more money with which to carry the election for the Grand Old Party, these gentlemeu will be there with the cash derived from their fatdi videusds to furnish the filthy lucre or aa some others prefer to call it, the "dough." So the people will very soon re alize in many ways how the He publican Party sold them a gold brick last fall. > $ Tom Tarheel says he knows why v the old folks believed that finding a four-leaf clover was lucky.

Idea is, probably, she ought to wait until she geta the fifteen bucks before calling him a liar.

College Workers interested In Pecan Campaign. Among the subjecjts which re- I ceived special attention at the an nual meeting of county agents!, which closed at State College on Jan. 14 was the plauting of pecan trees in the state. A special pe can section was attended by many agents. During the conference L. L. McLeßdou,county agent of Duplin County, told bow he had stimulated interest in pecans in , his county by holding meetings in ' various schools and by urging the children to get permission of their parents to plant at least one tree lou their home grounds. As a re suit of this campaign lasting one week, there will be planted in Duplin county this spiing consid erably inyre than a thousand 1 pecan trees. County Agent J. T. Lazar has ; been active in onoouraging pecan planting in Columbus county, in which is located the Sutton Grove ;of 600 treys. These pro- Iduce JG,O(JO pounds of pecans last : t'frll. The county will plant 'inore | ihaii v thousand trees this season, according to Mr. Lazar. 1 C. E. Littlejohn of Halifax, N.IC. j Rowel ol Chowan, 13. E. Giant of Uertie, E. 0. MoMahou of J.ee and 0. 15. Faris of Craven reported that several htndred trees will be planted in each of their counties. Extension workers are lending the agents and planters all coop erat ion possible in this movement," says H. M. Curran, Forester. "Persons interested in pecans, whether in the planting of oue tree or a hundred trees or more sre requested to consult their county agents or to write to the Department of Horticulture ijit State College, Raleigh, for any information they may desiie^" Save The Brood Sows "Keference was made in a for mer article to a premium of 10 to 15 cents per 100 pounds paid for Ohio hogs. This premium is not due to their place oi nativity but to their known quality," says W. W. Shay, swine extension special ist for the State College of Agri culture. "These hogs are known to be corn fed. They are what the packer wants, and is willing to pay for. N. C. hogs have topped the mar l ket in oompetition with the Ohio hog. "We are glibly told that the N. C. farmer cannot compete with the Ohio farmer in the production of corn fed hogs. Ii is said that nothing is so highly commendable as a desire for information; with this assurance in mind, I am mov ed to ask why this inability on the part of N. C. farmer whose farm will produce a reasonable yield of corn per acre? "Compared With the Ohio farmer Our land is cheaper, Labor is cheaper, Taxes are lower, Our grazing season is longer, We can raise winter farrowed Pig*, We can profit by the seasonal price trend, Our market is higher. "We might be led to sympathise with the Ohio farmer who produc ervoM fed hogs under such con ditions, but we refrain from tears knowing lhat. he has grown wealthy doing it. "It is freely admitted that thw average yield of corn pnr acre in North Carolina is in the neighbor hood of twenty bushels pt»r aero.

C Many of Unoccupied Land Free land, plentiful in area and rich In productiveness, had large Influence in shaping the individualism that is so distinctive of the United States. In that period of the nation's life, when the bent of the country was agricul tural rather than' Industrial, the unset tled West wds a constant invitation to men to carve out farms of their own. So the frontier receded steadily toward the Pacific coast, and by 1880, accord ing to the census report's, there no longer was a frontier line stretching from north to sonth through the nation, "although there remained vast stretches of territory uninhabited. Here uud there all through the West were dots on census maps showing small groups of settlers. The disappearance of free land, It was 'said, was near. _ Today the prevalent Impression is that there is no Jand where men may, with the assistance of the government, get' farms of their own. In the old sense, it' is true, free land.no longer exists, since houiesteadlng laws now require small payments to the federal treasury for public territory, but there are unreserved and unappropriated areas from which millions of people may some time draw support. The general land office has announced that in 24 states there are 180,004,733 acres, exclusive of forest, Indian and other reservations. Nevada l'eadp with 52,- 252.275; Utah is second with 28,707,- 687"; California has 19,026,172; New Mexico, 10,303,700, apd Wyoming 15,- 687,833. To this land can be added 338,000,000 acres of unreserved public territory in Alaska. There are deserts, swamps, mountain aides and other regions that now are termed wastes, although here and tliere, particularly in Alaska, only ade quate transportation is necessary to make the land of value. The world contlnunlly Is finding use for new ma terials and for a wider employment of old products. Science and' skill make the waste spaces of yesterday the builders of fortunes tomorrow. All land has resources and all resources are valuable, ultimately. There should yet' be large crops harvested from the areas that have been Ignored, although 'they may not be of the sort generally associated with agriculture.—lndian apolis Star. Jeannie's Revenge The train was just starting, and Jeannie was congratulating herself oa the prospect of having a compartment to herself, when a smartly dressed man rushed on the platform and sprang Into her carriage, not a minute too soon. "Just did It, after all," he muttered, as he flung himself Into a comer seat and prepared to enjoy the evening paper. Jeannie Jeaned forward. "I'm Sorry, sir/' she said, "but—" "I never listen to beggars," said the smartly dressed one, curtly. "But, sir—" "If you attempt to address me again I shall' report you to the guard!" he snapped. . Jeannie said no more. In due course the train stopped at Klllletochle and ieannle prepared to alight. "I dlnna care if you reportme or not," she salil, slyly, "but I maun be having that pun o' butter ye've been slttin' -on for the last-sax miles!''—London Tit- Bits. Valuable Switch Engine A new locomotive, designed to meet special switching conditions in freight yards, consists of a complete electri cal plant on wheels. It is smokeless anil silent. An oil engine is dlretetly connected with the generator and the current made by the latter is passed to four motors, each geared to one of tlie axles. The engine Is of 300-horse .power, burning oil, and each of the four motors on the four axles has a rating of something less than 100- horse power. As ordinarily used in the switching service, this engine con sumes from 20 to 20 cents' worth of fuel oil per hour. His Life in His Work Dr. Kdouard llranly, the noted French inventor, who Is called the "father of wireloss," Is eighty years old. lie rises at six o'clock euch morn ing, lakes a street car at 6:55 for his laboratory, where he arrives at seven. Then he puts in 12 hours of hard work stopping only a few minutes at noon and In inid-afternOon for a bite to ftit. Doctor Ilranl.v Is a commander of the Legion of Honor, but never wears his decorations because, as he explains laughingly, he Is afraid he would be arrested by the first police man, who saw the ribbon on a man with such shabby clothes. I - Caribou in Abundance Curlboti have been seen in very large number* this season In the northern part of Ynkon territory.

Violent deaths are the rule, not the exception, In nature's realm. Even those great leviathans of the deep, the whales, are not Immune, for they are subject to the attacks of a ferocious creature culled the killer, one of the dolphins, which-hunt In packs, slash ing the chosen victim with their ter rible jaws until It dies from exhaus tion and loss of blood. In temperate climates an extra hard winter causes many deaths, particular ly among small birds and animals, and droughts levy a great toll In hot coun tries, Kenneth Dawson writes, in the Washington Post. The wild creatures have tlielr epidemics, too. The rinder pest, or cattle plague, has in the past exterminated both domestic animnls and the wild game over enormous tracts in Africa. But for mapy- of nature's creatures death comes swift and red. Even the great cats, the lions and tigers, are no exceptions. While In their prime they have few enemies* but when feebly, with age, with claws and teeth worn down and useless, they fall victims to the hyenas and jackals which for years have fed on the leavings of the great beasts' kills. Accidental deaths, too, are plentiful among the birds, beasts and fishes. Within the last few'weeks two of the Cunard liners, the Scythla and the Berengaria, have each killed a whale by rifmmjng it. Not long ago a case was recorded of a swallow being killed by taking an artificial fly on an angler's cast wljich had been left hanging from the branch of a tree. Birds which swallow their prey whole, like the heron and cormo rant, are now and then choked by try ing to gulp down too large a morsel. Fish die the same way, especially pike and trout, and the large carnivorae are sometimes fatally injured by the horns of an antelope they have at tacked. Some years ugo I found a blackbird pierced by a long spike In the middle of a blackthorn bush. No doubt the bird had dashed in there to avoid the swoop of a hawk and had impaled It self. Birds which line their nests with horsehair or sheep's wool occasionally, get entangled in these materials and are either hanged or die'of starvation. Foxes are not infrequently caught In snares, and, although they break away, if t{ie wire Is drawn tight around the neck It will In time eat Intb flesh and kill the luckless creature. Rats when frightened sometimes bolt into small pipes and become tightly , wedged. New Way to Hull WalnutM An Innovation in hulling black wal nuts was Introduced Sunday aftertfoon by two small boys near a walnut grove on a road a few miles south of Kan sas City, Kan. After gathering tlie nuts the boys scattered them over the road where it was narrow at a bridge approach. Passing motor cars did the hulling, thus saving the lads labor 'and stained fingers. One motorfst, driving a small car, stopped to talk with tlie boys, and the new scheme was outlined. "Sure, we get our nuts hulled this way," one of the boys said. "We did have them down where the road was wider, but the cars turned out. So we had to move them here where the cam can't turn out. Balloon tires hull 'em best'." —Kansas City Times. The Celebration ''Howdy-do I" saluted a motorist, who was not thoroughly posted as to tha way he should go. "Which is the road to— my heavens! What is the cause of all that uproar there on the hill side? Are they celebrating the election at this late date or having a grafid free-for-all battle?" "I- hain't- right—yaw-w-wn!—shore," replied Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. 'Lection has been- over quite a spell, and as they're all Dlmmercrats, any how, I don't see's they've got much to celebrate. And as revenuers and Kn Kluxers are In season any time you ketcli 'em, I reckon they're shooting up one or —yaw-w-w-wn I—tuMier, and I hain't no ldy which/' —Kansas City Star. Hay Artificially Dried The British government Is taking a keen interest in a process for artifi cially drying hay or corn that has re cently been perfected by the {pstltute of agricultural engineering at Oxford university. The process is very simple and Inexpensive, costing only S2OO for Installation and $2.30 a ton for opera tion. This cost remains constant, while the cost of naturally drying the hay Is $2.70 a ton In a good year and may be $3.60 In a bad year. Air la heated by paraffin fuel and driven Into the center of the hay licks by fans. By this means a rick of from 20 to 25 tons may be dried In eight hoars. Malt hut Disproved Toward the end of the Eighteenth century Doctor Malthas threw a scare into the world by announcing that sci entifically he had figured out that the increase in population was getting so far ahead of the Increase in food pro duction that the human race would eventually starve unless wars and pes tilence killed off some. Modern eco nomists point out that the develop ment of farm machinery has done much to disprove It.
