Strong Packing Cases Demanded.

The cases should be Of the
strongest, withal the lightest materi-
ais 1t is an item in the freight ac-
count whether the case Is light or
heavy. Then, too, 1t may be neces-
sary to pack merchandise of q class
separately. because where several
classes are packed together in one
case, the duty Is charged on the
highest graded class for everything
in the same case. Shipments are
roughly handled by stevedores in get
ting them into the ship, the storms
at sea jostle them around, then II oft
times happens lighters must be used
to get goods from ship to shore, be-
cause the shaliowness of water pre-
vents the steamer from docking. An
other shaking up and finally the ship
ment is landed on the dock, if it
hasn't fallen overheard in transferal
After landing on the dock it may lay
there for hours, If not days, before 1t
is put into a warehouse. Sudden
showers drench the packages on the
dock and even in the warehouse the
heavy rains will work their way
through crevices. Unless you have
seen an equatorial torrent you have
no conception how much water can
fall in an hour. The dews are heavy
and there is good deal of atmos-
pheric moisture during the rainy
season that penetrates everywhere.
A Light Case Needed.
1t is better to take smaller cases
and compact ones as well. The Ger
mans and English compress their
packages until they are as solid as
rocks, cover with a waterproof ma
terial and then bind the whole with
y,a.n fol sA
or rope, as dampness stretches the
latter and breaks are liable. In many
instances packing cases are too heavy.
Every effort should be made to secure
a light but strong case. The English
use a three-ply veneer reinforced
with wooden strips, while the Ger
mans and Italians have achieved sue
cess with case made of paper mache
or paper fibre, which has been pressed
until it is like iron yet light. This
material is not only light and strong
but waterproof, and importers esti-
mate they save enough on freight to
be able to pay trifie moro on the
! goods. Where there are no railroad
/ facilities the packages are taken into
| the interior in their original wrap
pings on the backs of sturdy carga-
dores (porters) or in flatboats OF dug
cut canoes. All this may sound for
midable, but it is not as bad as 1t
may seem. A little intelligence in
the shipping department will over
come tho difficulty. Weights and
measures should be plainly marked in
/ metric system on the outside of the
cases. 1t is, of course, unwise to place
heavy articles In the same cases with
lighter ones, for the heavy articles
will break up the lighter goods.
Never Substitute.
Under no consideration should a
manufacturer substitute, for this
practice will kill the most friendly
relations Even If substitution means
loss to the manufacturer, it is not
what the purchaser ordered, and he
knows what and why his trade de-
mands certain article and inslsts
upon that demand. This is vital
point the manufacturer must moi
overlook.

Drop Nickel in the Slot and Get New
Model Raincoat.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Dec. o.
The raincoat has taken its place
alongside the egg sandwich, chewing
gum and insurance policies placed be-
fore the public in vending machines.
The man who drops his nickel for a
package of gum to aid in the diges-
ton of his nickel-in-the-slot meal,
and then pays a quarter to another
machine for a policy insuring him
against the consequences, may soon
get raincoat from an adjacent ma
chine as a result of the ingenuity Of
Miss Elizabeth Galbraith, head of the
art faculty of the University Of Ar
kansas. Miss Galbraith has obtained
letters patent on a paper raincoat,
said to be waterproof. She plans to
manufacture the coats in large guam
titles and distribute them in specially
devised vending machines.

The government encourages inlmi-

The railroads have a liberal policy
with the immigrants and every in

coming in droves, $4,000 yearly, from

Preparation Necessary.

The American manufacturer, having
decided that he wants some Of the
South American trade, should look to
his factory to see whether he is
equipped to supply what South Amer
lea wants. He must conform to many
regulations that may seem trivial but
yet are important in every iota. 1t
goes without saying that the goods
must be merltorious. South America
buys the best Of It's class and bubbles
not about the price provided it is no
higher than the same quality can be
purcha sed elsewhere

of the importer upon receiving the
shirts in American style measure
ments, and the difficulty of the re-
taller to sell his customers collars
they had been buying in centimeters
now marked in inches. 1t would be
as difficult to sell shirts and collars
in this country marked in centimeters.
Use Language of Country.
All circulars and directions should
be in Spanish, except to Brazil, which
uses Portuguese. If you cannot write
TO Brazil In Portuguese use French,
German or English. The printed
matter or circular could to advan-
tage be translated in the country to
which it Is to be sent. Spanish is
Spanish, TO be true, but that refers
to book Spanish. Each country may
have certain colloqualisms or lido
matte expressions peculiar to itself.
This Is, it Is true, a small matter,
but 1t is just such small matters
that win trade. The great success
of the Germans Is due to such small
matters like this. 1t sometimes ap-
peals to the local pride of the bust
ness men, a subtle fiattery that may
secure an order

Stacking Sometimes Preferred.

II sometimes happens that the pur-
chaser prefers to have his goods
packed in sacking or bales, so that it
may be easily handled In shipping
or transporting, or because Of GUS
tom regulations. In Brazil, where
customs are collected on the weight,
The case adds to the cost and packing
becomes a factor. The reasons for
efficient packing are because of eli
matte conditions prevailing, the
rough handling the shipments re-
ceive and the fact that shipments
sometimes are deposited in ware
houses until wanted by retailers up

Pack Well and Mark Plainly.

All merchandise should be well
packed and strictly IN accordance
with directions given by the buyer
The purchaser knows the difficulties
that will beset the shipment before
final unpacking. The interior of the
cases should be well lined with heavy
damp-resisting paper and the joints
of the case held closely together, the
whole either wired or metal strapped
or stapled in such q manner that the
case under no circumstances can
come apart. 1t should be clearly
marked with stencil or brush, in sew
eral places, and so indicated on the
invoice and manifest, so that 1t may
be easily located amidst a pile of
freight. This should be attended TO
correctly, a small matter but i'm
portant. II error is made the GUS
tom house may fine the purchaser for
the trouble caused or suspect he was
trying to hoodwink them.

in Jail charged with passing a forged
check while Councilman Frank
Whisman is wondering what he had
best do with the worthless slip of
paper which cost him S17.
The check, signed by George

picious and called up Rufner. The
latter denied ever having given any
check to Hudson.
City Policemen Robbins and Fitz-

ed a search for Hudson. He was
located in the establishment of
Birch Brothers. Whisman was call

over to the county jail.
When quizzed by Journal Miner

son declared that he did not know
anything; that he was recovering
from a good round booze party;

an eye specialist when his thirst
for dring got the best of him; that
he started on his spree" when a
friend handed him a bottle of wills

HAWKINS DEATH
DEPLORED AT
HONOLULU
LETTERS RECEIVED GIVE
PARTICULARS OF FAM
lily TRAGEDY; BODY AR
RIVES HOME
(From Tuesday, Daily.)

Arrivals from Jerome yesterday
stated the funeral of Myron Haw-
kins, son of DR.. and Mrs. L. A.
Hawkins, took place on Sunday,
the remains arriving the day be-
fore from Honolulu, H. l., where
the deceased suicided, owing to do
nestle troubles. The funeral cor
tege was the largest ever known
in that community. and was over
one mile long, every business house
in the city closing.
Particulars of this young mans
unfortunate death, were also learn
ed, and his rash act is attributed
in letters received to the unfaith-
fulness of his wife, to whom he was
married only last February a few
weeks ago, he met her and the man
who was her paramour when he
shot down both, the woman being
wounded in the shoulder, the bull
let passing through her body, but
missing the vital organs. The man
was shot through the head, and not
seriously wounded. Both will re-
cover. Thinking that he had killed
both, Hawkins placed the gun to
his head and death occurred in
stantly.
According to the letters written
by prominent people OF the above
city, and received by DR.. Hawkins
the guilty ones escaped. while the
husband sacrificed his life for the
right, beyond any question OF doubt
whatever The relations OF the wife
and the man were known 20 the
writers, and there was no condon-
ing of the illicit relations existing
and known by many that had a.
sumed a notorious phase.
The dead young man was born
and raised in Jerome and was aged
only p years. He married at Hon
olulu. his wife going to that city
from Jerome.

 Friday morning a strong German fo-ce left Brussels in a northwestern ly direction, probably having been ordered ~to cut the communication be- tween Antwerp and the coast. They marched by the way of Merchtem, Buggenhout and Dendermonde. They set fire to several houses and the railway station at Buggenhout and cut the telegraph wires. The Ger man patrol cut communication be tween Ghent and Antwerp by the wax of Dendermonde.
 The country surrounding Antwerp how has d remarkable appearance as the dykes to the southwest of Ma lines were opened by the Belgians and the entire district flooded. This took the Germans completely by sur prise. They worked heroically waist deep under the fire of the forts to extricate their guns, and suffered se- were losses"

WASHINGTON |S SATISFIED
 WITH MEXICAN SITUATION
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Admins- tration officials expressed satisfaction over reports from Mexico City that the general convention of governors, mili tary chiefs and delegates representing the army has been called for October 1, to arrange a program for the con- stituticnal election. This represents the chief demand of Villa, and acqui- essence in it by Carranza is regarded as the most hopeful indication towards harmony between the two leaders.
 The only dark spot on the Mexican horizon is the attitude of General Za pata. Official reports say he refuses to come to an agreement with Car ranza and will have nothing to do with the first chief until the latter goes to Zapata territory. The southern chief has also said he will insist on the plan of Ayutla to the effect that he become provisional president, but is willing to share the executive power equally with Carranza. The latter declared that the proposal was absurd. Efforts of the American government to bring Zapata and Carranza into harmony continue, but the outlook is said to be far from encouraging.
 Officials here are confident, how ever, that if the Carranza and Villa factions agree to maintain strong central government the Zapata prob lem will be disposed of without diff culty, as there will be thousands of cOnStitutiOnaliSt troops available for an expedition to the south.
