LIFTED MINES FROM
 PATH OF BIG STEAMER
Rep. Peter C[oQa Had Interesting Trip From Sweden.

Among the HOO passengers on board the crowded Scandinavian n liner United States as she swept into New York harbor yesterday morning after one of the most eventful trips of her history were Representative Peter Crona and Carl Lorenzen of this city. a,.-a
 Representative Crona owes his good fortune in crossing to the fact that before the war broke out, he had ex- changed his steamship ticket for pass age on a boat which left week earlier than he had originally planned. Accompanied by Rev. G. E. Pihl. pas tor of the Swedish Bethany church. and his daughter. Miss Esther, he left this country June 23 on the Lusi- tania to visit his parents and step daughter, Miss Esther Ericson Crona. It was during his stay in his native land that he arranged for accommo- dations on the boat which carried him across the sea. instead of the Oscar IT., which was to leave one week later. August IA.
 Had Big OTer for Ticket.
 The United States carried 200 people more than usual when she left Christiania, Norway on August z. The representative says that wealthy and aristocratic people, who were anxious to obtain berths in the first class. were obliged to take places in the third class owing to the crowded conditions. They seemed content, however he says knowing that they were enjoying a privilege which many others had offered high prices for. MT. Crona turned down a big offer for nis ticket just before leaving.

She had great difficulty in getting started however. owing to the fact that the Danish government took off cne-half the crew. while the boat was loading at Copenhagen, and mohilized them Danish navy officer piloted the craft out of the Copenhagen harbor. which is we'll filled with dan serous mines at present. In some in- stances 1t was necessary to raise the mines out of the water to allow the steamer to pass. This was an experi- ence which the majority of the pas sengers would gladly have avoided, many being in constant fear that single stray explosive might be over- looked with the result that the ship would be blown up.
 Warned Against British Fleet.
 Two nights after putting out to sea from Christiania, where Mr. Crona got on board. the United States was warned by the Hellig Olav to be on the lookout for British fleet near the Shetland sIlands in tho North sea. The wireless operator on the Hellig Olav told that his ship had been stopped and inspected by officers of the fleet causing consider able inconvenience. During the re- mainder of the voyage, the United States frequently received advice from other ships regarding the loca- tion of the belligerents' fleets

POSTMASTERS Will
Be farmers AGENTS
BurleSon Undertakes to Bring
Consumers and Growers
Into Closer Relationship
TEN OFFICES TO
WORK THE EXPERIMENT

WASHINGTON. March 24-Post-
master General Burleson has an
nounced that he had undertaken to
put in operation a plan by which
postmasters will serve as agents in
making arrangements for the ship
ment Of farm produce by parcel post
direct from the farm to individual
purchasers. This is part Of a gen
eral scheme for utilizing the parcel
post for marketing farm produce di-
rect.
Tho plan announced will be in
augurated through postofices at
Boston. Atlanta. St. Louis. San Fran
CLEO, Washington, Baltimore, Detroit,
La Crosse, Wis; Lynn. Mass. aud
Rock Island, ILL., The postmasters
at these points have been directed
to receive the names of persons who
arc willing to supply farm produce
in retail quantities by parcel post.
Printed lists of these names. showing
in each case the kinds and quanti-
ties of commodities available. will be
prepared from time to time for dis
tribution to city and town patrons
who wish to buy farm produce di-
rect
In discussing this plan today First
Assistant Postmaster General Roper
said:
"By the use of the lists the city
rrrf11 10 al. -. L. d.
with a farmer who will fill his week
~ orders for butter and eggs and
other farm produce The consumer
will receive the produce fresh from
the country and the personal relation
ship established will no doubt tend to
improve the quality. The farmer
will be relieved Of carrying his pro-
duce to market, as the carrier will
make daily collections at the farmer s
own door of these retail shipments 10
city customers.
The Postmaster General has the
firm conviction that this plan IS the
one thing necessary To enable the
people of this country to enjoy the
potential benefits Of the parcel post.
No one has ever questioned the pos
siDility Of reducing the cost of living
by establishing direct relations be-
tween the ultimate consumer and the
original producer.
"A complete means for such direct
transportation was provided for the
first time by the establishment of tho
domestic parcel post but there has
been lacking an agency by means Of
which the individual producer could
get in touch with tho individual con-
sumer. The Pos master Generals
plan is designed 10 provide this
agency for the most economical dis
tribution Of those products which arc
consumed in the form ands condition
in which they are produced"
