Hofieit nf over $70,000,000 in the national treasury at the present io .onu for nn lime wunv uu 11UIC lO i, ot r.f h administration ofti rials and the further extending of the "war tax" is seriously contemplated, it .ooms tn he settled that a very great portion of this growing deficit chnnid he credited to the parcel post. Since going into the express business , , , i. if, on such a large scale uie pobiumce department has steadily gone behind. It has been attempting too much for the compensation received and in or der to get on its feet again, so to speak, the people will hae to face additional taxes. There may be ad vantages to the people in the parcel post; this is especially true with those who feel it necessary to pat ronize the mail order House in pref--,.o r, tho lnral merchant, but for our part we are yet unable to see wherein it is a good policy to be pur sued. The vast amount of merchan dise that the city store is able to ship to the rural communities by parcel post puts them in direct competition with the merchant or the smaller town and takes from him the very cream of his business. In consequence of this the local merchant is deprived the privilege of improving and ex tending his line of endeavor; he can not build new stores and must ne satisfied to live in the out-of-date home; he must curtail expenses along all lines for he is unable to add any thing of beauty or utility to ms community. As time goes on, the big mail order house increases its power and finally, the merchant of the small town is forced to the wall, the rural communities go down and a few large cities about the country oro hum un and become about all that is ever heard of. We say that is the tendency and the people of the rural communities, who now think they are greatly benefitted by this scheme of the mail order kings, back ed by the big interests of the coun try, will be the worst sufferers. They nr.a Vicing PYTtlnitP(l through this ser vice and an important branch of the government is being put in financial straits with no prospect of getting t until these same "common peo ple" are called upon to make up the deficit in the form of taxes. Further more, the disturbance of the star route and rural mail service of tho country, almost to the point of an nihilation, is not the least of the evils. Should the department put this branch of the service back to its former efficiency the additional cost required will sink the post office de partment that much deeper into the slough of despond. Mighty is the parcel post, but it is a poor revenue getter for the government. row county during the past week and the unanimous opinion expreeu to the effect that there has been but slipht damage to the sown wneai. The recent rains, followed by the warm weather is bringing up me and anything like soasonumi- weather conditions from tins time ,.,.,,.,,,1 insures a good naivcsi. There will doubtless be considerable spring sowing as a result ot tue ions continued dry spell, during which i,Q nmnv of the farmers tnougiu it unwise to put grain in the ground; and as mentioned in last issue, some of the very early sowing came up and ,iri0d nut necessitating a re-soiu.,. Inst at this time the prospects are onrl the broad smiles on me ia- i-es of the farmers in indicative of the optimistic view they are tailing ot me situation. Th nrospnt hieh nrice of wheat i iroptln? the attention of people to the wheat growing sections. There is every indication at present mai a. good prices will prevail for some years to come. We are looking for wheat to reach the i.tu marn. u, the. hranrn line before the present crop is all disposed of, and just how- far beyond this puce it win bo only a matter of conjecture. Mor row county has the best wheat land for the price of any section in the Northwest. Quicker returns are made for the money invested, and we look forward to some lively transactions in this line of real estate in the near future.
