TRIDAY. JAN. 5THV 1917 THE REVIEW; REIDSVTLLE, N. GL PAGE FARMERS HAVE NOT REALIZED VALUE OF THE PARCEL POST Neither the consumer nor the farm er has as yet waked up to the possi- bilities of doing his marketing by i.acel post, according to a statement of a Tar Heel postmsater. "The farme.M have not taken hold of the opportunities offered -them," he declares, "yet it is practicable for ihem to ship almost any sort of farm produce except live fowls or animals at fourth-class rates. "The business in this connection has increased somewhat at the local office, but so far the shipments have , been made largely from the producer to the marketman. We have handled by parcel post large shipments of eggs in crate lots, dressed fowls, crates of vegetables, peaches, ppples, grapes and other perishable products. As a matter of fact, we have crates of eggs coming in practically every day or bo." The postmaster cited as a con crete instance of the cost of market ing eggs by mail, that of a Wilming tonian who ordered a crate of ten dozen eggs shipped him from Mount Airv. This man paid the producer in Mt. Airy thirty-five cents a dozen for the eggs and the parcel post charges on the consignment amounted to twenty-four cents, the producer paying the cost of the crate or con tainer. This man. who has noly an ordinarv sized family, placed the whole lot In fresh salt, which he says will keep them in gooH condition un til next spring. It is interesting in this connection to note that a dozen eggs weigh from one to one and one-half pounds, yet people buy eggs by the dozen. That is. if the eggs are small, they get only one-third in weight and value what they do when the eggs are of the larger variety. The rates on all kinds of farm produce, Including eggs, by parcel post for the first and second zones Is five cents for the first pound and one cent for each additional pound up to fifty pounds. These zones include all territory within a radius of 150 miles. The rate for the third zone Is six cents for the first pound and two cents for each additional pound, Taking into consideration the facts as outlined above, a Wilmington con sumer who has devoted consideable thought to the possibilities of the par cel post as a means tit reducing the cost of living, points out that if the farmer Is willing to pay as much at tention to the marketing of his cropa as he is to producing them, he will be able to develop or build up a long list of regular customers by mail and thereby realize substantially greater profits or at any rate do away , with the wasteful practice of running to Rheumatism Is y Weather Prophet I can tell stormy weather days off by the twinges in my shoul ders and knees.

One of the biggest difficulties In un dertaklng to build up a market. It Is pointed out, Is to find your customer. Parcel postmarketing Is contingent upon first getting your customer. That Is a problem that the Individual farm er will have to solve. If, after study ing the matter over, and perhaps af ter making a trial, he decides it is too much bother, the public will be enti tled to say to him, "If you are not willing to hustle for a better market than you now enjoy, don't kick about the returns you receive." Look For Peace This Year. The arrival of 1917 was welcomed on the Western front by the British and French soldies as a beginning of the end of the great world war. There Way be varying views and theo ries as to how the end is to be brought about, but there is no question that throughout the British army there Is c conviction that the next 12 months will bring a victorious peace to the allies. Opinion among the British and French fighters as to how the var will end is divided into two schools. The one believeh that Ger many will be willing to grant extreme concessions, and the other that only military pressure will "bring them the fruits of victory. Both schools are, however, agreed that this is the de cisive year. Arizona Possesses Extra Governor A special from Phoenix, Arizona, nays: Rumors that an attempt would be made to prevent, the Governor elect from entering the State house drew a large crowd to the grounds of the capitol today ready for the cere mony inaugurating a Governor of Arizona. Two men Thomas E. Campbell, Republican Governor-elect, and Gov ernor G .W. P. Hunt, incumbent claim the office. Adherents of each maintained there would be a double 'nauguration. Mandamus proceedings already have been commenced In the Supreme Court to compel Governor Hunt to relinquish the office of Chief Execu tive. Each claims he was elected. Farmers Loan Association.

MCKINNEY TELLS MOTHER S JOHN TANLAC Says Parent Lived On Eggs and Fluids Tanlac "Helps Her to Eat Anything. "Mother says: 'If only one bottle of Tanlac has helped me so much, what will my condition be when I have ta ken three or four bottles of It ' and we are all glad to be able to tell what Tanlac has done for her," M. B. McKinney, of 322 East Martin street. Raleigh, said. "For over 10 years Mother suffered from Indigestion and stomach trou ble. She grew more weak and help less each year and finally she was compelled to exist on fluids and eggs. She was nervous and could not sleep. Nothing helped her until a friend got her to take Tanlac. "You would be astonished to see the change her appetite is better and she is gaining in strength and weight, sleeps well and can eat almost any thing she likes without having to suf fer, as she did."

The story from Louisiana telling about a whole family being murdered by robbers, because the father of the family often openly boasted that he kept four thousand dollars in cash in his house and could take care of it, while startling, need not have been unexpected. The fool, and that was all you could call the man, invited the rob bers. Had he taken his money to a bank put it out on Interest, It would have earned him money each day. But he couldn't see it. Accordingly his children are dead and dying he is dead the wife who toiled with him to earn the money la dead and all because he needed a guardian. The bank Is always safe. The bank takes your money makes it earn you more money. The man who puts his money In a trunlc; who hides it about the house who goes around boasting that he Isn't afraid of robbers and tells them he has the kale seed at home well, It is a sorry mess. -Greensboro Record.

' Tobacco Crop of the United 8tates Last year's tobacco crop of the Uni ted States brought the growers $169, 00,000, according to the "recent re port by the Department of Agricul ture. ' This is calculated on the basis of a price of 14.7 cento per pound re ceived by the farmers this year, for the 1,150,622,000 pounds, which the report says we produced on tho 1, lll.SOO acres covered by the crop, which yielded on the average 815 pounds per acre. ' These flgurs are larger than the cr-rrespdnding figures pertaining to the crop of 1915, according to the Department. For the year 1915 the acreage was 1,369,900, yield per acre 775.4 pounds, total production 1,062,237,000 pounds, farm value December 1, 1915, 9.1 ctnts per pound, total farm value of l lie crop on the same dato $96,381,000. The average figures for the tobacco crops of the years from 1910 to 1915, txcept the yield per acre, are also lower than the 1916 figures, as the tollowing average figures for the years indicated will show: Acreage 1,200,000, yield per acre S20.5 pe-unds, total production 991, OiiS.OOO pounds, farm value December 1st 10.4 cents per pound, total farm value of the crop on that date aver aged $103,061,000. Why Not One? Notice what we are saying on our Young Peoples page this week about i he value ot debating societies. We have often noted the good effects of such societies In different communi ties, and the transportation that takes place in a boy or even Jn an elder man is often wonderful. In stead of a beginner with unsteady knees and staammering tongue, you soon have a speaker whose eyes flash with the pirit of contest and whose voice has acquired the ring of earn estness and conviction. Remember that speakers are not born, but made, and that it lies with in the power of every Southern farm boy, whether his father Is renter or land owner, to become a speaker. And as we have often pointed out, farmers suffer in legislation and of ten fail to get their public rights in many other respects, simply because they lack trained spokesmen. This is another reason therefore for hav ing a debiting society In every neigh borhood. The man who can think well and logically on his feet will become a leader of men. : , He will not become a leader merely because he is elo quent or fluent, or a master of plenty nhrases, but he will become a leader because in becoming a proficient speaker he has become a proficient thinker. Debating teacher him to go to the bottom of every question, and this habit of thoroughness helps him in all future life work. The Progres sive Farmer. ' ' CASCARETS" BEST IF HEADACHY. BILIOUS. SICK. CONSTIPATED Best For Liver and Bowels, Breath, Bad Colds, Sour Stomach- Bad Get a 10-cent box . Sick headache, billiousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.

Of the 3,400,000. automobiles regis tered in the United States, more than half are owned by farmers.

The 4, SOO.OOO to be used next year will re quire for renewals more than 19,000, COO tires. As farmers will be the chief purchasers their prosperity will react upon the automobile Industry.
