writer the other day in which farm
ers wife ordered twenty pounds of CO
coanut and paid cents a pound more
for it than was regularly charged by
the home dealer. The good woman evi-

ily five or six years and that most of it

tive than this was one where rural
customer bought ten pounds of nut
megs. and in this case also more WAS
paid than was charged for the same
