Washington, Dec. 3.-One of the
biggest features of the new parcel

TEN contend that it will provide a
remedy for the high cost of living so
tar as necessities of the table are
concerned, as it will enable the con-
sumer to receive these necessities
direct from the producer at some
thing like the cost at which they
are produced. -.

greater part O. the season. while Bres-
nahan, Hills and Queisser have been
cut at various times on account Of in
ijuries. Bresnahan and uueisser were

time during the season that the In
