A correspondent writing in the Progressive Farmer, has a timely article on the parcel post. The example of a California newspaper which offered . advertising space at reduced rates in order to bring the farmer and the city dweller closer together and several other advantageous uses of the parcel post are cited. The Daily Journal is an admirable medium to enable the people in the country to get in touch with those in town and we urge them to make use of the advertising columns in our daily issue for that purpose. Unlike the California publication we do not have to reduce our adver tising rates to get them down to a low price. They are already in reach of all. If any farmer reader has anything to sell to the folks in town, let him send in an advertisement to the Daily Journal and a great throng of people in this city will rind out about it. Send your advertisement, we will then send bill and you can remit either by mail or the next time you come to town. Nothing could be fairer than this. Let us hear from you Mr Farmer. The Interstate Finance Commission finds after an investigation that the financial operations of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad have been "wasteful in the extreme.' It is little wonder that railroads set up such a strenuous protest when they are asked to lower freight or passenger rates. It would mean taking the trouble of getting down to business and cutting out the useless expendi tures. After so long a time the inside workings of the railroad business which is quasi-public business it should always be remembered are being brought to light. A TELLING ARGUMENT. A telling point that the solicitors for the proposed cotton mill are making is that not only would a cotton mill be of benefit to the city by giving em ployment to a large number of people and thus adding to the business of the city, but it would also be of benefit by improving the local cotton market thus causing more cotton to be brought here, and consequently more money to be spent here. It is claimed that wherever there is a cotton factory a better price can be paid for cotton and uniformly is paid for it. Thus it will be seen that wrapped up in the cotton mill project lies a good part of the commercial and industrial future of New Bern. No matter what else in the way of manufacturing it may acquire, nothing will take the place of a cotton mill. It is easy to see that the presence of a cotton mill in a community will have the effect of boosting the price of the raw material, so that the point being urged by the stock committee of the group of business men who are behind the cotton mill project should have great weight with the business men whom they approach on the matter of purchasing stock. 1 he members of this committee by the way deserve great praise for the energy and perseverance with which they are going about their task. 'They are performing a great public service for every one can understand that if the city is to continue to grow and prosper it must have manufactur ing enterprises and it is business suicide with cotton growing at our very doors to let the other communities of the State and the South have a monopoly of thecotton manufacturing business. Inquiry into'freight'rates shows why itlisfcthat North Carolina has no large cities. Thefrailroads have been making use of this State to build large cities in other States, The Senate lobby investigating com mittee acts as if it enjoyed that sort of thing. It now proposes to investigate all of the wars that have been waged between capital and labor. And that is some contract to undertake in the middle of the heated term. A press deapatch from St. Petersburg says that Russia is pressing Bulgaria to settle its differences with Rou mania over Roumanian territorial expansion without further delay. Foreign minister SasanofT of Russia declared in the same connection that it would be national suicide for the Balkan States to keep on fighting. That is what almost any kind of war is. There is preciout Ik tie difference between slaying one's self and putting one's self in the way of the bullets of another. The great powers of the world have learned the folly of war. It is only the little and partially civilized ones that have not learned that differences can best be settled by diplomacy. THR DAIRYING INDUSTRY. The Southern Railway through its publication, "The Southern Field," continues to boost the dairying industry But it does not depend on the printed word alone. It has on its payroll a number of daity and poultry experts who devote their entire time to ad vising and helping farmers and dairy men. We learn from "The Southern Field," too, that there has been created throughout the territory served by the Southern a tremendous interest in the dairy and poultry business. The cost of living is certainly high enough for whoever supplies the necessities of life to make handsome profits. Raising things that can be eaten would seem to be at the present time to be about as safe an enterprise as could be embarked upon . USE THE PARCEL POST. Many Opportunities For The Farm er To Make It Of Service To Him. For a quarter of a century local merchants made vigorous protest against the parcel post. Of course, the merchant thus placed himself in the attitude of acknowledging that he did not have the business capacity to compete with other folks, and he wanted the Government to protect him by withholding an economic con venience from the public. Under the delusion that he would be put out of business by mail-order houses, he was willing to see a gigantic express monopoly built up that stands at the head of the list in its privilege to tax consumers most with the least investment of capital a striking ex ample of "getting something for nothing." Four months trial of parcel post has not yet brought the dire ca lamity to local merchants that had been predicted. On the other hand many wide-awake merchants are learn ing to use this modern convenience both for their own benefit and for the benefit of their patrons, and farmers are also realizing its value The editor of a California weekly pa- iper converted his readers to parcel post possibilities by offering adver tising space at a very low rate for 30 days. Merchants tried out parcel post ideas and farmers advertised chickens, eggs, butter, apples, coun try sausage and other farm produce to the people of the town. That spe cial column in the weekly now serves as the public market of the locality. This "community interest" idea was also adopted by a group of Iowa merchants who co-operated in get ting up a town parcel post catalog itemizing and pricing such things as could be sent economically by parcel post. In December, before parcel post rates became effective, an Ohio laun dryman began to point out the dis advantages of home washing in win ter and to exploit the prompt service and low prices he could offer on family work immediately after Jan uary first. "Don't let your wife wash in winter," he urged in his newspaper advertisements and circular lette "It's hard oh her, hard on the clothes, and wash-day dinners are hard on you. On sheets, pillow cases, table linen and towels, my prices are lower than the cost of soap and coal to say nothing of o probable doctor's bill. Bring in your laundry and I'll return it by parcel post the third day." As a result, this laundryman's receipts were increased 25 per cent, the first month. Of course, the postage paid cut the profit on the new work materially, but af ter pro-rating his wagon cost for deliveries in town he discovered that his rural delivery cost him little more than those he made in town. These instances are mentioned to show how active and wide awake business men may turn to advantage the very thing which nervous and timid people predicted would bring disaster and ruin to legitimate busi ness interests. Farmers are already learning how parcel post may be turned to ad vantage and save many trips to- town during busy seasons by using the telephone to order a bolt, repair links, a back hand, or other light re pairs needed in emergencies, medi cine from the druggist, etc., and the rural carrier brings them along the next morning. This possible saving in valuable time to the farmer -will amount to no small item. Of course there are many obstacles in the way which cannot be removed until some of the weak places in the present experimental parcel post law are strengthened up by amendments, and the rates are too high, and it is only a question of time before we will have an effective parcel post system in op eration in this country. J. Z. G. in Profrcssive Farmer. Anti-Saloon League Superintendent R. L. Davis is charged with using a bottle in a fight. Well, copsidering Mr. Davis' position, we should say that it is better to use the bottle in a fight than some other way that might be imagined. Governor Blease of South Carolina counts that day .lost when, to his already great load of unpopularity, he does not add materially. In the face if it all, he insists that he will go to the United States Senate. But he will not. South Carolinians cannot afford to afflict the nation any further than is necessary as a result of the monumental mistake they made at their last guber natorial election. Senator Smoot says that if the Sim mons-Underwood tariff bill becomes law as it now stands, there will be four years of litigation before many of the new schedules can go into effect. We have an idea that among the men who framed the law there are some lawyers about ' as able as Senator Smoot, and that when they finish with the bill it will come quite as near as the average tariff bill, to put it conservatively, to being legally perfect. It is up to Smoot of course to throw obstacles in the way of the movement for tariff reform and nobody need be surprised to find him doing it. A WORTHY ENTERPRISE. Two very important projects are being agitated in New Bern at this time the cotton mill project and the hospital project. The first named, thanks to the energy of the stock committee, is said to be about out of the woods, at least on the home stretch to mix the metaphor a little. The latter has not been publicly before the people so long but is making encouraging headway. It will certainly be no disparagement of other institutions here to say that the thought of a great institution on the beautiful Western shore of the Neuse, advanced enough in manage ment and equipment to compare favor ably with well known hospitals in Richmond, Norfolk and other places is one most agreeable to entertain. This great Southeastern section of the State is growing rapidly in wealth and population and it is said by those who have had opportunity to observe that there is plenty of hospital practice that now goes to other States to main tain the proposed new hospital. New Bern is the natural metropolis for a wide section of territory. There is no reason why the people in this section should have the additional expense of carrying the afflicted mem bers of their families to other cities for surgical operations and sanatory treatment. It would be much better if they would bring them all, or prac tically all, here instead of only a part as is the case now. It would cost them less and at the same time aid in increas ing the prestige of a city in which they necessarily take a pride even if that pride is not altogether so keen as that of the people living immediately within its confines. Let New Bern be conspicuous for the number and success of its hospitals. It could hardly be conspicuous in a nobler form of activity. MANUFACTURING BUTTER AND CHEESE. Statistics in detail of the butter cheese and condensed milk industry in the United States for the year 1909 are presented in a bulletin soon to be issued by the Bureau of the Census. Wis consin is shown to be the leading State as measured by the value of products. Then come the other States which are engaged to a considerable degree in this industry in the order named: New York, Minnesota, Illinois, Michi gan, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, Vermont, Nebraska, Washington, Kan sas, Oregon, Indiana, Missouri, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah and Maine. Not a single southern State with the exception of Missouri, and that is more Western than Southern, is mentioned. Yet the people in the South are as fond of butter and cheese and consume as much of it in proportion to popula tion as the people of any other part of the country. It is simply up to the South to stop eating Wisconsin, New York and Illinois butter and cheese and manufacture these food products itself. If it is a profitable industry for Wisconsin and the other States, which along with Wisconsin are engaged in it, it would also most likely prove to be a profitable industry in the Sou thern States.

N, C Mrs. Helen Dalton. of Hut place, says: "I suffered for years, with pains in my left side, and would often almost smother to death. Medicines oatched me ud for awhile but then 1 would set worse again. Final ly, my husband decided he wanted me to try Cardui, the weman's tonic, so he bought me a bottle and I began using it It did me more good than au the medi cines 1 had taken. 1 have induced many of my friends to try Cardui, and they all say" they have been benefited by its use. There never has been, and never will be, a medicine to compare with Cardui. I believe it is l good medicine for all womanly trou bles." For over 50 years.
