PACKAGES INCREASE
IN SIZE EACH DAY
Now Possible to Send Boxes
Nailed Through Par
eel Post.

That the packages sent over the par
eel post are daily increasing in size is
the statement OF Postmaster Haas.
Formerly very few large packages
We're sent, but 1t Is not unusual now
for the office to receive or send out
packages as large as the parcels post
rules allow.
Mr.. Haas said that recently the post
office authorities at Washington had
made several liberal rules which al
low people to send things through the
parcels post which formerly would
have cost too much postage. 1t is now
possible to send boxes which are nail
ed or packages which are sewed. Up
to this time forst class postage at the
rate Of two cents per ounce was charg-
ed for packages wrapped in this man
ner, as they could not be opened.
Many firms have boxes made es-
pecialIy for shipping packages over the
parcels post. Special egg boxes are
now used by almost all egg shippers.
By this method breakage is reduced to
a minimum. 1t is also possible to
ship dairy products without danger
as the new form Of boxes protect them
Yesterday several local persons re
ceived butter from an Ohio creamery
1t is now a common thing, Mr.. Haas
said, for Richmond people to buy eggs
out of the city and many packages OF
them are being received every day
One Richmond person received large
box Of ripe tomatoes and other garden
products from friends in Florida to
day.

1.-THE Fortune Hunter"

1.-THE Fortune Hunter"
"The Fortune Hunter" is play full
of humour, much wit, and not little
beautiful sentiment of the homely sort
and it enables Winchell Smith, the au-
thor, to marshal group of rural char
acters that are quite as faithful to a
sort of life which would go on in Sam
Graham's drugstore in Radville, Pa,
as "Shore Acres" and "The Old Home
stead" are to the best phases of rural
life in New England. 1t causes the en-
otions to stir as we'll as pleases with
it's wit and original, unhackneyed
plot. Nat Duncan, the unsuccessful in
everything he has undertaken, who
goes into the small city far from the
metropolis to seek his fortune by
marrying an heiress, ultimately finds
happiness, learns how to make money,
and wins a wife, but it is by ways that
are not of his own or his friends de-
vising. How he does so is clearly told
in this best of American plays, the play
that ran continuously for two years
in New York City. 1t will be presented
at the Gennett theater tonight.

WE MUST DO BETTER FARMING

II is remarkable how fast the signs

ton farming or cooperation farming
in the South.
Consider these straWs, for example.
A man has just left our Office who told
as of having recently seen the over.
seer Of an Illinois corporation farm on
his way South TO buy Georgia land for
the corporation. 'Our Illinois land is
worth 500 per acre, " he said, and
doesn't yield as much as your Southern
land selling for one-iourth as much. -

bold black type about the problem of

Purchase Of the plantations by
corporations, with definite ideas of
organization, development and opera

a plan, backed by big money, can be
made 10 show a profit

as we write this, a clipping about a
II, OOO-acre North Carolina farm Just
purchased by a millionaire, and a pros
pectus of a farming corporation now
being promoted in Savannah, Ga, its
leading spirit writing US as follows:
you have certainly hit the 2aii on
the head when you say that this kind
of farming is coming. 1t is also true
that cooperation between farmers is
the only way to meet this kind Of com
petition, and cooperation will not then
be a matter of choice, but a necessity,
Once again we say to our Southern
farmers: These are the signs Of the
times. Get ready for the era. Big
money sees the possibility in Southern
land, and it is up to Us to shoot, Luke,
or give up the gun Farm land is
becoming too valuable to remain IN
the control of ignorant or %unprOductive
labor, We must either become pro-
gressive farmers or hire ourselves to
corporations that will do progressive
farming. There is no other choice.
And to become a progressive farmer, ,
forget that you must both learn ,
to produce economically, scientifically !
and you must learn to cooperate with =,
your neighbors in buying and selling. !
Neither one will do alone. You can
earn about either scientific marketing ,

No man who makes a practice
of being dishonest and repudial-
ing his just accounts ever amounts
to a hill Of beans. In the COM
mercial world they never get to
the quarter pole. The successful
business man thinks almost as
much Of his credit as he does of
his wife, for he knows if his wife
leaves him he stands some show
of getting another, but if his cred
it forsakes him he is up against it.
He can have but one credit. 1t
seems strange with all this in
mind that young men will start
out with beating little bills at the
restaurants and at the store.
They will even borrow fifty cents
of a friend and refuse to pay it
back. That class of fellows al
ways wear a banner that can be
seen all over town and everybody
is onto them, When it comes to
paying your debts, honesty is the
best policy, Grenada Sentinel.
