Congressman David J. Lewis, of Maryland, whose investigation of ^parcel post did not cease when the parcel post law was enacted, made several valuable contributions to public knowledge on this subject iu ills recent speech, but none was more, valuable than the one which correct- ed the popular impression that all books are barred from parcel post. $s Mr. Lewis showed, only lighter books are barred by the law from the benefits of the new postal service. "Books and all third .class matter (above four pounds in weight are Bhipable by parcel post," he said. "Books below four pounds in weight are not now shipable by parcel post, but I may say I know that the Post- master General has under advisement a proposition to extend the service to include boofcs."

This is a different story than we have become accust omed to in this county, where a. .five or six week's session was not uncom mon.

There is no argument about that and if the home dealers don't adver tise their.goods in an intelligent and earnest way as tho they meant i t the people will send away for their merchandise. Any store that does any business can do more business by right advertising. Don't take it from us, but study the advertising in the city papers. That advertising has built cities. Do you get that?
