While the parcels post has taken much bustuess from express compan- tobe a cheap and trinsporting many it has et made a good impression as a marketing agent, for it does not handle soft and perishable fruits with sufficient care and prompt- ness, 50 it is not surprising to hear it hinted that the express companies of the coumtry recognize a line of se vice here which will prove remunera- tive to them. If the express compan- ies should build up a marketing agency business, buying all sorts of farm produce for and dellv g it to city folks, there is no doubt it would receive public recognition. ‘he more direct the trade between tha people and the farmer the fresher and more acceptable will be the produce ‘The public at the present time are re- ceiving too much wilted and flavorless stuff under the present system of de- mand and supply A Dbetter system will be halled by the consumers with soy. BETTER REPRESENTATION. The trend on the part of the repub- lican leaders to change the present method of representation in the na- tional convention and to reduce the number of delegates from 1.040 to 7 should find favor in all parts of the country. The plan proposed has been skel tomized by the San Francisco Argo- naut as follows “(a) For each state to have two delegates at large. “(b) One additional delegate at large for each republican Ur |of Kansas, or any other state—they NEW JERSEY'S LIBERAL POLICY. | New Jersey's roads are scot free to all automobilists, no licenses be re- quired, and as an example of open- | handed generosity she is pointed teo with pride and cemplimented by au- tomobilists in all parts of the coun- tryy Tt has been discovered, however, that It Is tactfulness rather than enerosity which prompts New Jers sey to require no license fees from ewners of automobiled frem other states, Maryland has beén nettled by the comparison made between her policy and that of her neighbor, and the Bal- timore American _In disclosing the business tact of New Jersoy says: “There is a reason for this gen- erosity that is measured in business terms. Just consider that one hun- dred summer resorts are dotted along the ew Jersey coast. Then recall that the shell rvad, one of the oldest good roads in the United States, stretches from resort to resort along the whole hundred miles of ocean frontage. Then reflect that along this route there are over $200,000,000 in taxable basis hotel values Consider further that there are 20,000 automo- biles—counting each auto every time it enters—that invade Jersey every summer time, delivering 100,000 high- rate paving guests to the hotels. Should Jersey kill the goose that lays a nest full of golden eggs? THE TRUE OBITUARY. 1t looks as though the era of true obituaries had dawned, and we must confess it has dawned none too soon. We have plenty of assurance that half a truth is equivalent to a lie, and per- haps that is what newspaper readers think most obituaries are. A Kansas paper has written up a deceased oiti- zen after the new form. The writer We @o not want to say an unkind thing about Mr, Blank. He put noth- ing into this world and got nothing out of it. His hoarded wealth brought him an early grave and he could take none of it with him. He was honest as he saw honesty, obeyed the laws of the Jand when it cost him nothing, nelghbored with no one, trusted mno one, got all he could and kept all he got. His uppermost philosophy of life was a false one—that is, that a man with money in his pocket must of ne- cessity have friends and happines He contracted no debts. gave nothing, to charity or public enterprise, knew nothing about the high cost of living, traveled none, read little, never spent nt ‘foolishly, never invested or gambled. Many a lad of 10 has seen more of life worth living than he. He ynged to no societies, fraternal or religious, He enoyed making good deals in g and selling. He was ndustrious, independent, * a stickler for the last pound of flesh al- lowed by Jaw. He hus passed to his reward.” This looks like a pretty correct plc- ture of one class of men. This kind of men are not confined to the state are familiar figures in all parts of the countary. Doesn't it seem refresh- ing to read a sketch so true to life. EDITORIAL KNOTES.

George Benson had read about love and ro- mance, and of girls being rescued by youths at the bathing beaches with the Inevitable result. ‘While young Benson had no irresisti- ble desire to rescue a girl at a bath- Ing beach, it occurred to him it would be pleasant to meet some girl there, 5o he set out for Waveland. There are scores of girls at any beach who would be tolerably eager to put themselves in the path of the #ole arbiter of the fate of a tidy $5,000,- 000, even if he wasn't such a sensible, clean-cut, good-looking chap as George Benson chanced to be. Fate that balmy July afternoon, however, rendered many such a girl blind to the possibil- ities. ) Benson had been strolling along for a half hour, wondering in his enjoy- ment of the merry scene all about him why it that his mother could see no beauty in these gay, sweet creat- ures. One especially he admired. She seemed both beautiful and viva us and he impulsively longed to make her acquaintance. As he passed her the 12-year-old companion ran up to him. “Say, miste ill you come with me a minute?” pleaded the lad. “What is it asked George, very willingly “I'want you to take my side and tell | Ethel olives grow on trees and nof ines, like she says they do?’ c the boy energetically, gazing up into Benson's face.

The girl refused to tell him her name when they parted, but said he might meet her at the beach some time again when she had an afternocon away from her job as stenographer.
