TUESDAY,
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
I confess that I attach great Im
portance to routine. I believe that
every young man who Intends to
succeed In business, should do as I
did take a course at a commercial
college. I do not believe in what
is called the rule of thumb; rudi
ments of business should be prepar
ed to build upon. If a youth has had
no thorough grounding a time may
come when his weakness for detail
will show Itself. When people write
to me asking for the secret of my
success I always tell them that I owe
everything to a love for, and mas
tery of details. John D. Rockefel
ler. Gossip about diplomatic appoint
ments is not entitled to much respect
because the President and Secretary
Bryan are not men who would talk
freely with outsiders about pending
appointments. But the mention of
Mr. Olney's name in connection with
the embassy to Great Britain recalls
the fact that he was Secretary of
State in Mr. Cleveland's second Cab
inet, when the United States de
manded that the British boundary
dispute bo referred to arbitration.
The situation looked rather serious.
There was a panic on the New York
Stock Exchange, and Congress made
an emergency appropriation for mili
tary purposes. But Lord Salisbury
agreed to arbitration.
Some remarks by Secretary Bryan
have frozen the blood of the officials
and clerks in tho Department of
State. Ho said his tenure there was
brief, and ho knew of no reason why
tueirs snouiu bo any more porman
ent. Tho State Department has al
ways been a little outside of the
range of tho patronage mongers.
Before there was any civil service
law tho clerks In the War and Navy
Departments were far more secure
than those of the Postofllce and the
Treasury, and tho clerks of the State
Department were very rarely remov
ed except for cause. Below tho As
sistant Secretary few changes wore
made. There will probably bo no
clean sweep, but the suggestion ,of
it has shaken the department.
In the current Issue of Farm and
Fireside Judson C. Welliver, Wash
ington correspondent of that periodi
cal, writes about the advantages of
co-operatlvo marketing. Following
is an extract: ' Doubtless everybody
recollects how, a few years ago, the
pruno crop was so huge that tho
boarding houses couldn't absorb it.
Well, tho California Fruit-Growers'
Exchango hired the best advertising
agency it could find, appropriated a
big wad of cash and told the ad-writers
to convlnco the whole country
that prunes wore the real stuff. No
body could be healthy without eating
'em! Tho most delicious of fruits!
Sond for a free recipe-book telling
how to make wonderful, new and
novel confections and desserts with
'em! Everybody come on and have
some prunes! Tho advertising col
umns wore full of it. You recollect
that advertising campaign, don't
you?' Well, that's what it was about,
It sold that extraordinary prune
crop, founded a now market, created
a demand that has grown ever since
and proved onco more that co-operation
can do things that without co
operation can't even bo dreamed of."
A SEW PARCEL POST FEATURE.
On tho first day of July next the
scope of the parcel service will bo
greatly enlarged by providing for a
collect-on-dolivoring feature, Post
master General Hitchcock having
signed the order.
Under tho approved regulations a
parcel bearing tho required amount
of parcel post stamps may bo sent
anywhere in the country and tho
amount due from the purchaser col
lected and remitted by tho postofllce
department. The regulations provide
that tho parcel must bear the amount
duo from the addressee and tho col
lection will bo mado provided the
amount 1b not In excess of $100, The
fee will be 10 cents to bo affixed by
tho sender in parcel post stamps.
This will also Insure the parcel to an

TO ABOLISH ILLITERACY.
During' tho discussions by the
great educators of tho country in
Philadelphia last week much stress
was laid upon tho fact that Illiteracy
is fast passing away and the hope
was expressed that within a single
decade It would be abolished so far
as the young people of the country
are concerned, says an editorial In
the Philadelphia Press of Monday,
which expresses our sentiments con
cerning this momentous question. It
goes on to say that there are a good
many adults who have never learned
to read and write and who are not ex
pected to do so, but the rising gen
eration is to have the rudiments
down to tho last child with normal
mind.
There are at present in this coun
try 5,500,000 illiterates more than
ten years old. A great many of these
are colored people of the South, who
have had few or no facilities for
learning to read and write. Some
are foreigners who have reached this
country as adults, and there are a
godd many whites In tho less popu
lous districts of the country who are
wholly uneducated. But that the ris
ing generation is to bo cared for is a
matter of the first importance. In
most of tho Northern States educa-
tion is compulsory and schools are in
session at least nine months in tho
year. In Southern States compul
sory education is not so common nor
well administered where it exists
Schools are not in session for so
many months and thore is less belief
In the efficacy of education. But the
leaven is growing, so that the optim
ism of tho teachers does not seem
unwarranted.

STABT NOW TO FIGHT THE FLY.
Now Is tho time to begin warfare
upon the fly. Make it a point to kill
the occasional fly that you see.
Every such fly destroyed will mean
millions less in the summer.
Do not give the fly a chance to
breed. Sprinkle chloride of lime or
kerosene over manure piles, old pa
per, straw, tuo contents of garbage
boxes and privy vaults,
Keep garb-
age receptacles covered tightly,
Keep tho ground around them clean.
Keep manure in screened pits or
vaults If possible. Tho sewage sys
tem should be kept in good repair.
All leaks should be stopped immedi
ately. Pour korosene into the drains.
Do not allow any sort of decayed
matter to accumulate near your
home. See that no dirt gathers in
corners, behind tho door, back of
radiators, under stoves, etc.
Where cuspidors are used, as in
hotels and other places, a Ave per
cent, solution of mrhnHn noirt shnuiii
bo kept in them. Get rid of the saw -
dust, box used as a cuspidor.
It is
unsanitary.
Cleanliness is tho greatest foe of
the Ay. Tho Ay thrives In filth and
dirt. Begin to flght the Ay right now
by removing Its breeding places and
you will lessen the danger of infec-
tion from tho many diseases which
It carries from the sick to tho well,

NOTED
HARR1SBURG LETTER
Harrlsburg, Pa., March 10.
When tho State Senate reconvenes
this week. It is expected that an ef
fort will be made to set going tho
'$50,000,000 good roads constitu
tional amendment resolution, which
has been favorably reported from
committee and is ready for action.
Confirmation of the appointment
of State Highway Commissioner E.
M. Bigelow by the Senate Is believed
to have opened tho way for consid
eration of the amendment proposi
tion, whoso friends refrained from
pushing It during the period in which
any uncertainty as to the future
management of the 'Highway depart
ment might have been used against
it. All this is now out of tho way,
and there is believed to be plain sail
ing for tho amendment. Its passage
by tho Senate Is considered as as
sured, and it will then be sent over
to tho House, where tho friends of
good roads Will rally to its support.
It appears probable now that no
attempt will bo made to secure a
special election for submitting this
proposed amendment to the people,
but that it will bo allowed to await
tho regular election next November,
when tho voters will have an oppor
tunity to say whether or not tho
building of main State highways
throughout Pennsylvania shall bo
Ananced in an adequate manner.
This brings up tho question of the
necessary enabling legislation. The
amendment to the constitution
would merely permit the State to
issue bonds for highway improve
ment. Specific authority for such an
issue, with provisions for limiting
the amounts to be put out each year
and for the setting aside of interest
and sinking funds, must be granted
by act of assembly. If this were to
be put off until after the people had
voted on tho amendment, the neces
sary enabling legislation could not
bo enacted until the session of 1915,
and the money for road building
would not be available until two
years from next June.
The impression is that the present
legislature can pass tho enabling
acts, contingent on the amendment
being approved by a majority of the
voters next November. This would
enable the State to prepare for the
first issue of bonds during next fall
and permit the launching of the
road building program early In the
spring of 1914. In fact, it might
have the effect of starting the work
on a big scale this year; for tho rea
son that if assured of money from
the bond issue in 1914, tho depart
ment might be justified in using dur
ing 1913 the bulk of the money ap
propriated by the present legislature
for tho next two years.
Tho Pennsylvania Motor Federa
tion is keeping up its campaign of
education 'in behalf of the bond is
sue, realizing that not only must the
members of tho legislature be con
tinually reminded of the vast public
demand for good roads, but that the
million and a half of voters in the
State must be thoroughly informed,
between now and election time as to
the widespread benefits to follow the
acquirement of adequate means for
putting the 8,000 miles of main
State highways in flrst-class shape.
