NO CHANGE IN THE
SIZE OF PACKAGES

The new fifty-pound limit for par
eel post packages which went into
effect January LIST has not resulted in
any appreciable difference in the av-
erage weight of the parcels mailed II
is stated that this is perhaps caused
by the fact that business houses have
scarcely awakened to n realization
that change In weight stipulations
has been made.
Although the weight limit has been
changed. the size and shape OF pack
ages remain the same as before. This
shape is not more than six feet COM
bined length and breadth. One differ
ence the change will make is that
commission men can now ship fruit
in this manner. as for instance. a box
of oranges will not exceed the length
and breadth permitted. One good ef-
feet of this will be to keep the fifty
pound packages in what is known as
the "tie-up" bags instead Of distrib-
uting them at once. It will also permit
the shipment OF bacon and other
meats. The department is planning to
Increase the weight limit from fifty to
seventy-five pounds on July ]. and to
100 pounds the FIRST OF next year.

RANCHERS
INSTITUTE
CLOSED ON
WEDNESDAY

The two big days Of the Fremont
Horticultural society's institute closed
Wednesday afternoon at 1880. 1t is
considered by thoze who have at
tended these institutes for the last ten
or twelve years that 1t was by far
the largest and most interesting.
More enthusiasm was aroused than
ever before and every session was
better attended. The evening session
en- Tuesday was an innovation for
this society, but that II was q good
idea was attested by the large crowd
that was present
Such a large display Of fruit has
seldom been seen at the various in
stitutes In the past and the quality
Of the fruit exhibited was almost per-
feet
The afternoon session opened with
music. after which followed a lively
discussion on The Advantages OF
Organization" Then followed n power
full talk by Senator J. II. Crowley
5s -Coddling Moth Spray" Semitic.
Crowley is a finished speaker and an
experienced orchardist.
He has tried about every kind OF
spray for the roddling ms tn, but STAT
c,i that he had his s. srccess with
Ersenate OF 's.:d Senator Crowley .-as

spray for uh, coddling moth ead the
FIR, mont r-Jt T. orci;.rdists were
among the first to take 1t up. In fact
Fremont county is about the only
place in the country where arsenate of
lead is used for the coddling moth.
Senator Crowley told In a way
which showed that he knew what he
was talking about OF the various
sprays for the moth and what he
found good and bad in each Of them.
The resolutions which were passed
during the afternoon session will ap-
pear in The Record on Friday.
Mr.. J. J. Ashenhurst In n well-pre-
pared talk told about Advertising the
Apple. Mr.. Ashenhurst took a splen-
did view OF the matter and stated that
in spite Of the fact that everyone
knew what an apple was. It needed
advertising and extensive advertising
nevertheless. He said that the apple
production was increasing every year
and that in time the production would
exceed the consumption. To make the
apple worth anything commercially
there must be a demand for 1t and in
order TO make the demand II is neces-
sary TO exploit the apple to more peo-
PIE and get them to eating and using
more of them.
Mr.. Ashenhurst used authoritative
statistical Information to prove his
various points and carried out his ar
sumcnts with splendid logic. His talk
will appear in The Record at later
date.
At the conclusion Of this talk the
institute adjourned and Clyde Brewer.

table and commenced to dispose OF

recently acquitted of the murder of Gas

Throughout discussions OF the departure
of CaillauN from France at such crisis
in his country's history are repeatedly
heard mention OF intimatIons which came
out at the trial OF the wife of the ex-
Premier 1t Is remembered that states
men of Germany have termed CaIllauX as
"Germany's best friend in France"
Less than ten days ago the appearance
of Calllaux with his wife on the streets
of Paris brought forth demonstrations
from the populaee In which cries OF Ger
man spy" were heard. During his wife's
trial It was frequently hinted that Call
laux failed TO exhibit his customary irm-
ness In combating German demands dur
ing the settlement OF the Moroccan ques-
ton.
