tried ii out with what we now call

ton four-quart boxes Of plant prod

by looking up the prices obtaining In
little stores where the owners were
content to do business on a margin
that would cover their needs. We
fixed the price to the consumer at
$3.50 net. and that price still sticks.
We pay all delivery charges.
From the money we obtain must
be deducted the charge, for hauling
from the farm to station. two miles
away, express charges to New York
and rehaul from express to home OF

and boxes and the paraffin paper with
which each box "a lined and which
covers the food and keeps II fresh and

labor of packing.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.--A slice
of pork Is better than no pork at all.
according to members OF the House
who are preparing TO accept the SEN
ate's revised river and harbor bill,
cutting down the pork from $53,0OO.-
900 to $20,O00,000. or dissatisfaction
there is plenty In the House. The
little-creek gentlemen are sore, but
at present they see nothing they can
do about It, The bill as passed leaves
discretion with the chief Of engi-
neers to apportion the $20,OO0.0O0
for continuing work on existing pro-
lject, and each member hopes he may
be able TO persuade the engineers
that he has an existing project which
needs TO be continued.
The man who deserves most credit
for the defeat Of the pork barrel bill
lis Representative James +. Frear OF
Wisconsin. Frear started all the
trouble for the rollers of the barrel.
After starting IL, he kept 1t up. 1t
was Frear who interested Burton and
Kenyon to make the magnificent fight

Office that vast amount OF ammu-
milton was daily forwarded to the
senate firing line. Burton will be re-
membered along with Tom Carter

threat was too much and the Demo
cratic members rebelled and Sim
mons was compelled TO throw up the
sponge. Pomerene got tip from the
president that all this business was
poor Democratic politics and the fight
which Frear had started In the House
and for a long time waged single
handed, was won.

out gun and pointed It at the saloon
keeper.
Bring al the money out OF that
