The farm produces eggs and butter and the advertisements that ‘il the columns of English newspapers tell how the city consumer can get such .| goods direct from the farmer. = The same newspaper columns can tell the farmer how he can get his sugars and coffees -and teas and canned goods confinement, obtained a copy of: the Bible, and in three years of careful study gathered the following facts: The Bible contains 3,586,489 let- ters; 773,692 words; 31,173 verses; 1,189 chapters and six books, The word “and” occurs 46,277 times. The ‘word “Lord” occurs 1,855 times. The word “Reverend” occurs but once, which is in the ninth verse- of the 111th Psalm. The middle verse is the ninth verse of the 118th Psalm. The twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra contains all the let- ters of the alphabet except the letter j. The finest chapter to read is the twenty-sixth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. The nineteenth chap- ter of II Kings and the'thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah are allke. The longest verse is the ninth verse of the eighth chapter of Esther. The shortest verse is the thirty-fifth. verse of the eleventh chapter of St. John. The eighth, fifteenth, twenty-first and thirty-first verses of the 107th Psalm are alike. Each verse of the 136th Psalm ends alike. There are 13th Psalm ends alike. There are no words or names of more than six syllables. Business and The Parcel Post.. The predictions that the introduc- tion of the parcel post, with the ac- companying reductions in express companies rates, will have some ef- fect in modifying the high prices, are by no means unreasonable, With the help of the parcel post all that will be wanting to connect the needs of the apartment house dwellers with the supplies of the suburban garden and other staples which the farm does not produce from the tradesman in his nearest city. And the depart~ ment merchant in the small city, the drygoods merchant, the milliner, the haberdasher, the druggist, and ~ the hardware merchant will also show the farmer that he can select his purchases from the more ample stock of their city stores and get these | goods through the parcel post serv- ice at prices which will fairly com- pete with the gigantic metropolitan mail order houses. Wien our merchants and our farmers have learned the art of judic- ious advertising as they have learned it in England all will prosper by the use of the parcel post except the big metropolitan mail order houses which have built their enormous bus- inesses through the unfair privilege of preferential express rates.—Wis- consin State Journal.

The cost of carrying only, will have to be added to the price paid by the consumer over and above the producer’s price; whereas now not only the cost of carrying must be added but the middleman’s profit as well. The result today is that though the farm price, say of chic- kens shipped to market may be but twelve cents a pound, the retail price will be twenty-five, the difference in price being consumed by the dealers. By the use of the parcel post, by this direct connection between the producer and consumer, the unneces- sary expense of our present system of distribution can be saved. In the matter of the increasing cost of liv- ing, England lags far behind the United States. In England the busi- ness possibilities of the parcel post are well established as may be seen from the following advertisements clipped from a London newspaper which runs a department headed “Bargains by Post:” DAIRY PRODUCTS —NEW AND Separated milk; rich, thick, double and clotted Devonshire cream, fresh butter, new-laid eggs, first prize medal Wiltshire bacon and hams, and dried milk by post prepaid.
