IB ABGUHEHT. tl in Washington, Jan. 29.?Represen- tc tativc Lever yesterday made a plea ?! gj for a parcels post law for rural de- ^ uvcry routes, in wnicn ne aescriDed the present annoyance of farmers p] when the mustard gives out, and the lo coffee and the soap. The post- er master general recommended this ra measure and Mr. Lever stated that ol he considered it unfortunate that the w recommendation has been ignored. n< Concerning the condition in the ni country, he said in part: 4-u - af .c: . <.s try lite is the inconvenience in\ 'Ivedj I in obtain1 ng ior use many of the. " cmi'j I'.frC' ssvics '"'f Hie. '{very m farmer er: presc knovs ' . '-can' wAfciicnce now raucn time is taken di in extra trips to town and city for ey these necessities of the home and th farm. Ke knows that in the aggre- tc gate the waste is incalculable, and I c\ am sure, if given an opportunity to tc have a direct yote upon the proposition, he would guard himself and all of the farmers of the country a- tc gainst its continuance. Let me ill- fr ustrate: The farmer makes his us- si ual trip to the village on Saturday to provide himself with supplies for p. the following week. Likely as not he ^ has jotted down a memorandum of Fi the various things he is to purchase, itj It developes on Monday morning ? that his good wife had overlooked W the fact that she was in need of a package of soda or a pound of coffee or a few yards of cloth for the children. A plow must be stopped in the jj busy season of the year, it may be at the sowing or harvest time, when every hour is valuable, and someone must make the trip to town, else the Dread goes without soda or the breaklast comes without its usual cup of :offee. This is not only a serious in- to j :onveience, but, I repeat, in the ag- El jregate amounts to a tremendous wj Irain upen the time of the farmer, tu md it must be remembered that time ^ 3 money to the farmer as well as to very other class. sei "Under the system recommended th? <y the postmaster general, and which Bl; 1 most earnestly advocate, this in- sja c onvenience and waste of timt will be bviated. A post card to his merhant setting out that a package of 16 oda or a pound of coffee or a few rui ards of cloth or any other article to f small weight is needed will have I te desired article forthcoming by iral carrier the next morning and at I s? cost which amounts practically to bi othing." ca The general opinion is that the ones : or The Wonan'5 Heme The L. & M.
