(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 The editor of The Worlds Work has a farmer friend who raises onions. Not long ago a commission man 1n Philadelphia advised him to ship some there, as the market was good. So he filled a car with choice onions and started them for the City of Brother 1y Love A few days later,-after the car had got far enough on it's way so that the ion-grower couldn't call it back,-anotheF note arrived saying that onions were arriving in such quantities there might be "a break" pIanation of this last face-saving eBistIe-an itemized account of the sale of the onions. From this it ap- peared that they had sold for enough to
 Ffrct-Pay the dealer his commis- sion:
 Secondary his hired men their fancy charges for "cartage":
 ThirdHPay the terminal charges:
 Fourth-Pay almost all the freight. The onion grower only had DO come across with S9 raurs to pay what was short on freight, and then he was given a clean bill of health
 Later, th1s same farmer got to reading one of B. F. Yoakum's sensi- bIe articles about high cost of selling, and he felt moved to write his friend the editor, this little experience of his
 
 il. He doesn't rave and tear the paper He even makes apologies for the other fellows. But he adds, T do know that 1 furnished Philadelphia with a carload Of good onions, free, and paid part of the freight"
 Now, this wasn't a unique even very unusual occurrences Very sim liar things are happening almost daily, if not to onions then to berries or grapes or apples or potatoes or some ether sort of farm truck" Within two years a neighbor of mine sent consignment of apples to New York city. They were good apples, first quality in size and colOring. and of popular varieties. They went by cheap freight. at carload rates. When the returns came in he found ne had lost $50 on his shipment. And he had paid only $1 25 a barrel for the apples here delivered at the car. The very lives in New York winters and buys from a large grocery there, sent to his grocer a couple of barrels of fair fruit ,as a sample of the run of his orchard" By the grocers advice these two barrels were sent by express, which was about five times as eX- pensive as freight, and, as they were rE skilfully packed by an inexperi- enced packer, they arrived in bad con dition. However, the grocer paid the express and also the carriage from the terminal to his store, and all the oth- CT charges connected with the ship n1ent, and then paid the shipper 2.50, Let, for the apples:-eXplaining that this admittedly small price would have been much greater had the fruit been better packed

The same week both these ship n'ents occurred apples were selling at fifty cents 8 peck, or $50 a barrel in ordinary New York retail stores.
 I think it may be assumed that the onions sem by the man l first referred to weren't given away to Philadelphia consumers. just because the producer had to give them to the jobber. Oh, no: that is not the way such things work
 Our present system of doing busi- ness isn't apparently, meant either to give the producer a fair share of what the consumer pays. or to save the sImer fair share of that which the producer loses, bus to give the graft CTS in between a sure thing.
 Soak the consumer; he's helpless. Rob the producer; he can't defend himself. But, by all the Canons of Big Business. protect the middleman to the last uttermost faFuhing." That seems to be the rule in this sort of transaction.

There is an act before tine present. session of the general assembly that
 makes provision for supervision of boxing matches, so-ealled, but which as matter of fact are not very far removed from the real article of prize lighting The fights are as rule for a guaranteed purse. decision is given, and the contestants are seeking to deliver the knock out blow. The only difference being that in the bOxir@ matches the contest is of rai a1 rounds and not a finish f~a: tf he proposed act becer~t z a. -ere will De general wee. g ut of the al legged bfUisc 5 and .ro men will enter the ring 4n ees evenly matched as to H%EIS4t and physically fit for the con- test There will be no more fake lights and the promoters will of ne- cessity get scientific boxers, give a good entertainment. charge reason able fee an give patrons the worth of the admission fee. The exhibit must be worth while to make it profita ble as the proposed fee for license for each exhibition is to be $50.
 With this law in force there would be end to such exhibitions as have been permitted in New London and there would be general change in the class of attendants at the show, for the small boy would be eliminated. There would be end of the misrnating of contestants and brutality should be suppianted by the science of the man ly art of self defence, minus the lat ter day bull dog proe1ivities. If this proposed law is not to prevail it would be in line of decent citizenship to make just d little reform in the manner in which some of these fights afe permitted to be pulled off iH New London, for the men who dig down in their jeans to pay for the privilege of seeing clean sport should not be inn posed upon by being :5iven a fake ex- hibition by unqualified or overmatched alleged fighters, 1t would be good idea to give that new law d tryout in the Seaside City.
