(Special Cor respondence).—If the present admin istration had deliberately made an ef fort to displease the public and make enemies for itself, it could hardly have succeeded in that direction more effectively than it has done. From the Atlantic to the Pacific and 1 from the Canadian line to the Gulf, j protests are still coming to members of congress asking in most urgent terms to be protected from the pro posed changes in the rural delivery service. In one community out in California a public meeting of pa trons of the rural service was held and a protest was drawn in such vigorous language that it was fearea few people would sign it, but the feel ing was so pronounced that ninety nine per cent of the patrons of the rural routes affected signed the pro test and then took up a collection to pay the expense of telegraphing the protest not only to the department but to the senators and the congress men from that district. Dissatisfaction with management of city postal serviec is also appar ent in many places. In one western town where a large manufacturing business has grown up in recent years and where first class postal ser vice is important, the department an nounced a change in postmasters. Tne business men of the town, who sup ply practically all the mail business of the postoffice, signed and sent to the senate postoffice committee a pro test against the appointment of the proposed postmaster, and asserted mai li ne snouia De appointed, they would under no circumstances allow their mail to be handled by him, a* they considered him wholly unreli able. Those business men were look ing for service, not for politics. Naturally, they were not very favor ably impressed with the business ef ficiency of an administration whose policies made it necessary for them to put their signatures to a protest as emphatic as that. Delay in government service in this administration has compelled the public to adopt a waiting if not a watching policy. The annual report, “Foreign Commerce and Navigation of the United States for the year ending June 3, 1915,” made its ap parance ip June, 1916, from the De partment of Commerce, just nosing out of the fiscal year, 1916. Under the republican regime, this report used to appear not later then Novem ber following the close of the fiscal year. Statisticians and students of trade have daily use for this volume and delay in its appearance is vexa tions. The Monthly Summary of For eign Commerce of the United States is another report which is now made public after considerable delay. If the Department of Commerce would pay more attention to official duties, and less to the campaign publicity work being carried on at the tax payer’s expense, the people would be better satisfied and the department would have a better record at thb time it changes hands next March. Our normal exports of barbed wire amount to about $4,000,000 annuallv. During the nine months ended March 1916, we exported $16,000,000 worth of this commodity. Nearly all of it went to Europe. Was it because the nations at war are fencing off their boundaries, or going into stock-rais ing? Not at all. It was to string barbed wire entanglements. ■ In every stage of th manufacture of this barbed wire labor receive a benefit, and stockholders in mine and fac tory companies got increased divi dends. Our exports of meat and dairy products durng this same nine months totaled $145,000,000, nearly all of which went to the belligerents. Farm ers, stockholders and laborers pro fited by the huge demand for meat and dairy products. While this ex port trade was going on the demo cratic campaign committee was busy composing publicity matter to show that “democracy brings era of un exampled prosperity." The only wav they can prove it is to show they were responsible for the European war. DAVIS CREEK NEWS Alex Sowokinos was in Ashton Friday. E. F. Paddock autoed to Ashton Saturday.

With corn above 50 cents hogs eat their heads off very quickly. The hog that takes two or three months to get on full feed never brings you a profit. When you are ready to put your shoats on feed, begin with the B. A. Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly and watch your shoats round out into fat hogs in nine months—hogs going well over 200 pounds and as high as 240 pounds. Figure the av erage feeding and you will see why the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good investment. Try feeding out your hogs on this plan and if you are not more than pleased, we will refund the cost of the medicine. —J. J. Slo minski. \ - FOR SALE.
