1t has not been very long ago-middle aged
mothers and fathers of today will recall the happy,
happy time-when the game of grace hoops was in
fashion. Indeed, quite the rage, though Of
that placid epoch it must be said enthusiasm for
outof-door amusements as far as the dear girls
were concerned, were mild as pigeons milk and
never dubbed over the brim OF pleasures modest
cup. If there was anything the young lady of
that halcyon time dreamed it was the charge Of
being a Tommy. No, no, she must never lose
sight of department. and her pretty lips
framed on prisms and prunes to the proper tucker
for conversational purposes-that is, for the lit
tie conversation that went with the game. So
grace hoops were entirely reggie with the best
ideas for department.
The charm of grace hoops slowly but
ly passing away when Maurice Thompson. who in
vented Alice of Old Vincennes,' and his brother,
will Thompson. who wrote the thrilling poem,
"Picketts charge at Gettysburg" brought for
ward the long disused bow and arrow, laid aside
for villanous gunpowder, the Indianapolis News
says. Maurice wrote clever little book called
THE Witchery Of Archery" and In a surprisingly
short time young men and maidens joined in arch
cry clubs, were plugging away with blunt
at targets as big around cream cheese boxes
of that day. Though these marksmen and women
frequently went wide of the target not so Cupid,

the American people for food commodities In
package form is an influence felt indirectly in
the transportation of farm products. From
time out of mind berries have been sent TO
market in trays, boxes and crates, but latterly
there has been tendency to provide standard
size baskets for apples, peaches, tomatoes, etc.
In the old days the consumer who purchased less
than a barrel of apples or potatoes did not re-
ceive them in original package" bearing the
growers statement as to quantity and quality,
but all this is being changed owing to prevailing
market conditions-aided and abetted by grow
ers who are eager to establish reputation for
their branded products
Eggs are another commodity which will bring
increased prices all the year round if furnished
direct to discriminating consumers. The stigma
of the cold storage egg is such that persons who
keen for really fresh eggs are in many in
stances willing to pay an advance of 80 to 100
per cent. the prevailing market figure for
eggs that can be depended upon. Poultry raisers
have not been slow to take advantage Of this and
instead of the large crates made familiar by cold
storage methods We find the fancypriced
guaranteed" eggs put up by the dozen in boxes
Of wood pasteboard each box being closed by
a seal which insures that its contents have not
been tempered with.

Although, as noted above, the motor

problem To the outsider it might APP
pear simple enough if he does not take
into consideration the numerous fac
tors that have bearing In the matter.
For one thing, there is the weather,
which must always be taken into &C
count in planning a trip to market
with produce, even though the journey
is to be made over good roads. Then
again, the product to be transported
may be fragile, such as eggs, or per-
ishable, as, for instance, some forms
of berries and fresh fruits. And final
ly there is the necessity of taking into
account probable market conditions at
the prospective destination, for pre-
sumably produce will sell more readi-
ly on market days" than on "off
days"
Despite the complications that seem
inevitable there are a surprising num-
Der of American farmers who still
persist in the practice of marketing
their products direct to the consumer.
Indeed, in some localities the number
seems to actually be increasing rather
than diminishing. This is all the more
remarkable when we pause to reflect
upon the facilities that are now being
offered the farmer for marketing his
produce at his own door. Agents Of
commission merchants and runners"
for dealers in the large cities traverse
rural routes, regularly, buying for spot
cash eggs, vegetables, etc, and to
such point have things progressed
that the farmer who prefers may sell
his berry crop on the vines and his
peaches or pears or apples on the
trees leaving to the other fellow" not
only all the worries of transportation,
but the bother of picking and packing
and, incidentally, the loss from waste.

The injection of the religious issue

has greatly complicated the situation.

blocking the election of William F..
Sheehan, the leaders of the insurgents
insisted to-day that the bishop is mis-
taken. The question of Sheehan's re-

tunate." said Senator Roosevelt, lead

misinforrned him"
Other insurgents pointed out that
they had voted for other candidates
than Sheehan who were of Irish de-
scent. and Catholics as proof that the
bishop was mistaken. The attack on
the insurgents by the Syracuse pre-
late, however, has made the religious
issue a real one now. and may have
an effect on the ultimate choice of
senator.
