Mr. NICHOLS RepIle. to lid. MundeII

To the Editor Of the Enterprise:
We were somewhat surprised at seeing
letter from J. T. Mundell in your issue
of December 26th. 1t is the first COM
plant we have had regarding our busi-
ness of last season. and we think. II Mr..
Mundell will go over his figures again. he
will find that he has made an error. Ac-
cording to our books, we received from j.
T. Mundell i85 standard crates that sold
for $544.95 net. an average Of Il 2-6c..
and 2 pony crates that sold for Sz.2e.
an average Of 602s cents. From Roy
Mundell we received 1863 standard crates
that sold for slos.2o net. an average Of
66ls cents. and three pony crates sold
for Sl.55. an average Of SO cents. TAX
ing the two together. which we presume
Mr.. Mundell has done. the standards av-
eraged zol3 and the ponies SO cents.
Mr.. Mundell speaks OF "a crates selling
for Ss2.4o. We fail to find any such
shipment from Mr.. Munde!l. or from the
two together. II he will give US the car
number. or the date OF his shipment. we
we will look it up and sec II there has
been any error made. However. the av-
erage Of the 81 would be about the same
as the balance Of his crop.
We enclose you herewith statement
showing the shipments by cars from J. T.
mundell and also from Roy. together with
net proceeds for each shipment
lnasmuch as his letter was given quite
prominent position in your paper and
may be misleading to some OF our GUS
toners or prospective customers. we
would kindly ask that you publish this
letter. We regret very much that Mr..
mundell should feel dissatisfied with his
treatment, for we can assure you that we
did all We possibly could to obtain the
highest market price. Some Of our ship
pers received net average Of from ST. 20
to Sl.25 per crate on their shipments for
the season. and we regre, that Mr.. Mum
dell was not among them.

though the precaution had been taken
to spoil the face of each plate with a

Treasury Department rode on each

a carriage.
The procession went to the. Navy

unceremoniously dumped into one Of

denominations, and 100000 in

papers to note fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that is notori-
GUS among those who interest them
selves in the study Of wild beasts in
captivity, this being that nearly all the
lion, tiger and leopard cubs born In
that country have cleft palate, which
prevents them from being properly
sucked, and usually leads to stheir
premature death. But, beyond this, 9
more astonishing iact still-and one
that also greatly puzzles biolcgists-is
that which determines that of all the
wild animals born in England those
born IN Bristol are regarded as the

that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange malady known as filaria is

contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.

The only remedy lies in an opera
