Women Of Norway Employed In Poe

Lower Salary.

II seems predestined that eternal
vigilance shall be the price paid by
women for equal pay for equal work
the world over. For fifty years Nor
wegian women In the postal service
have been paid the same salaries as
men for the same work. Five years
ago conservative administration pro.
posed lower wages for the woman
postal employees as good way to
reduce government expenses. The
measure was lost, and the question
was allowed to rest In peace until
last year, when another conservative
administration again proposed to dis

their rises in salary. after certain
periods of service. lower than those

committee that had the bill under
consideration was In favor Of It's ac'

resulted In the return OF n majority
OF liberals to the storthing. and the
formation of liberal cabinet. The
new postmaster general sided with
the minority report on the proposi

against the bill to 30 for, and the

FARMERS AND CANADIAN reel
PROCITY

Grom the Bradford Opinion)
We wonder how the farmers enjoy
reading clippings like the following which
was taken from Montreal paper of re-
cent date:
THAT the new Underwood tariff in the
United States gives the Dominion the
benefit of a total greater reduction Of
articles enumerated in the reciprocity
agreement than was offered in the Knox
Fielding agreement itself, is shown by
comparison which has been made here
and which may be depended upon as alb
solutely accurate.
The comparison docs not take into ac-
count the long list of reductions in the
Underwood tariff on articles not specified
in the reciprocity agreement. 1t is made
only in regard to articles not specified in
the defeated reciprocity agreement and is
based on importations into the United
States from Canada during the fiscal
year, 1910, according to the returns sub
mitted TO Parliament by the Hon. w. :
Fielding In January, 1911. On that basis
the reduction by the United states in
favor of Canada amounted to $iA9,9S3
Taking the same quantities and values,
| the reduction under the new Underwood
! tariff will he s4a5o,6l0. In other words,
there is an increased reduction under the
Underwood tariff amounting To NO5,6II
without any concession from Canada.
The conservative contention in the fight
against reciprocity was that the incom-
ling democrats would reduce the duties
against the imports from Canada and
that the Dominion ought not to make the
enormous concessions involved in the
Fielding agreement in return for what
would i'm "A very short time be given them
for nothing. The comparison quoted also
shows that what they are getting under
the new American tariff is actually more
than was offered them under reciprocity
Ion articles contained in the adjunct
agreement"
And It's true the Canadians have gotten
all they wanted and given nothing in re-
turn How long since that was preferable

MARKETING FRUIT.
by EDWARD x. PARKINSON,
Expert Agriculturist.


There are four ways of disposing Of
orchard products-se selling the fruit on the
trees to a buyer. who comes to the or
uhard and makes a lump sum offer;
selling through a commission merchant.
selling through a fruit growers associa-
ton or selling to the consumer direct
The first method Involves the least
trouble. but the seller receives the lowest
ul1cc. a. tho buyer ha- not only the work
of picking. etc, but must sell the fruit
to a mlddleman Moreover, buyers will
not, as q rule, contract for small or
chards, the expense Of bringing men,
etc.. being TOO great. However, if the
owner has an orchard Of several acres
and is unable to superintond the work
himself selling in THIS way is both prac-
tical and profitable.
Selling through a commission merchant
is often very satisfactory, particularly If
the orchard IS not near any market, and
if care is taken to look up the mer-
chants financial standing, for the com
mission man naturally does his best to
sell to advantage. In selling in this way,
write or telegraph the merchant before
shipping, that he may be prepared to re-
coive and dispose of the fruit at once.
