All over the land the 22d of February. Washington's birthday, is celebrated. How shall any man add aught to the praise and eulogy of George Washington? History and biography, eloquence and poetry ! have exhausted their combined j efforts upon the successful leader; of the American Revolution and ' the founder of the American 11" C 1 a. J.: 1 ! repuouc?our nrsi great naiiunai hero. Every great crisis in the history of the world has found its great man to guide and control it. Call this providence or accident, the American revolution was no exception to it. Before the first murmurs of discontent were heard in that struggle the man was being prepared for the crisis. On the banks of the Potomac and Rappahannock, thirty years before Lexington! and Bunker Hill, a truthful and j manly boy was growing up, ' ripening into stalwart young manhood. With only the common school education of that day the young man was soon being educated in the broader school of nature and experience, in the great forest, under the open heavens, with his surveyor's chain and his sword, in the Indian wars, di !?tiding the frontier settlements from the ravage incursions. vi,. n ro ?i Fo?t. Ono of our neij.Th*>oriro o;iit0i f, in wK>m we hnv th.? uipiot corf df rce 1 as n>adp a very iherc.rjrh ir.v sti*?at ion of the eff?c? of rl t mw p:io< post < n ot?r home n? 1 chants. In answer to oit qiestior, "Will the new law liui t li e in me merchant," he ?e\ s: "V\ hile the plan was under consideration in Congress it had to meet the solid opposition of retailers' organizations. 'Iheir enmity vps based on the theory that the parcel post wou'd pro\e an immense advantage to the hip mail ord'r bouses. Now that the new delivery is about to become a tact, the wise country merchant is preparing to make the best of it. In investigating his opportunity under the new law the country merchant finds that th" bevt gives promise of being not half bad. 4'Whatever the big mail order house may have hoped for in the way of advantage under the flat rate, the zmie system tinaily adopted, gives a distinct advantage to the local retailer. Instead of hurting him it really ought to b<? of service to I. n . The bargain rate of the whole system is the rale between the rural delivery center and ail points on the outlying routes. The rural routes r?'t the local rate. That is toNjay, a package will he taken to any point on a rural route for the same rate paid for the delivery of packages within the town limits. This local rate is five cents for the first pound, and one cent a pound for the other ten. An eleven pound package at the local rat*1 W'oiitd be delivered for 15 cents. When you locate the delivery of the package at tin- far end of a enimii-u ivmfn if the 1w??j1 package delivery bargain offered . in this country. VVnile the country towi. ir.oiv1 .utt li-ig this local bargain raie ine b:j. mail order house is paying a high rate that increases in proportion to the distance of the house from , mSbR." its patron. The country mer-j chant not only has an advantage ' in the rate, but his natural advantages in time is materially augmented. The rural telephone is now the concomitant of the, rural route. Where both are available all that is required is a little forethought in early ordering, and goods may be delivered from town on the same day the order is phoned in." If you have made up your mind to live in a town; then stand up for it, and if you know positively no good, then silence is golden. Do all you can to help along every man who is engaged in legitimate business. Do not send away for everything nice you want and still expect the home men to suit the whin*, of one or two possible purchasers. The success of your fellow townsman will be your success. No man liveth to himself and no man does business independent of his fellow business men. Take your home paper. Do not imagine that the big dailies fill up all this space. There are many little crevices of good cheer, social sunshine, personal mention, in the home paper that the big dailies do not print. Then do not abuse your neighbor. The main difference in the number ef his faults and your own is that you see through a magnifying glass as a critic. The ill-omened, the croaker, can do more harm in a minute than two good citizens can repair in a month. When a man dies it is a noticeable fact that many people have good words to say about him and perform in an ostentatious manner many kind acts toward'hifrn His former competitors in business attehd the funeral and perform many kindly offices for the I dead, when he is fairly out of the way. Now, if these kind words were said when he was alive and pulling hard against , the stream, he would have ap5 predated it more. But we have noticed at funerals men who a ; few days or weeks before could not find words mean enough to us? against, the poor man in the coffin. You might as well stay away. The kindly < ffices after death are not appreciated by the n.un in the box, and the folks at A.e funeral only smile in their \ - s ? i d * ze you up.
