1t is hoped that the visit of the two
State officers at Harbeson NJ. P. Church
last Sunday night, and their warnings
to a number Of young men and BOYS.
VIII result IN better behavior, and dispel
the illusion that some Of those who at
tend the Sunday evening services, have
seemed to be laboring under, that being
that our church officials would not take
any action to stop their misconduct both
inside and out of church. 1t is rumored
that the officers will return again in the
near future to observe if their warnings
have been obeyed.
Owing to the loss of horses in neigh
boring communities some of our farmers

KILLED BY HIS AUTO

William L. Gross, a successful mer-
chant of Pilot, Cecil county, lost his life
Saturday morning in an automobile ac-
cident near Pleasant Grove, Pa, Just
over the Maryland line.
Mr.. Gross left Pilot last week in his
car on trip to Lancaster, Pa, and near
Pleasant Grove the car turned turtle,
crushing the back Of his head and kill
ing him instantly. No one witnessed
the accident, but a travelling man who
was close behind him reached the spot a
few minutes later. He reported that
the wheel tracks were straight until
within a few feet of the upset, when
they suddenly swerved into the side
ditch and then abruptly back toward
the road, causing the upset. The sup
position is that Mr.. Gross suffered an
attack of vertigo, to which he had beer
subject, and lost control of the car.
Mr.. Gross was a son of James Gross,
now Of the Eighth district but formerly
of Pennsylvania. He was about forty
four years of age, and highly esteemed.
He is survived by his wife, who was
Miss Ida Dunn.

BUYING THROUGH PARCELPOST

Postmaster Swami of Baltimore, has
begun the experiment of marketing by
parcel post. He has secured list of
100 farmers who are willing to sell to
city customers, and should they find the
business profitable this list will be
largely increased. The housewives are
communicating with the farmers and
making known their wants.
Federal officials believe that this new
method of bringing producers and con-
sumers together will aid materially in
reducing the high cost of living, but the
success of the plan depends chiefly upon
the good faith of the farmers. The
housewives are buying in the dark, but
they will soon learn whether they are
getting what they pay for. If the
farmers send them inferior stuff, the
housewives will quickly abandon direct
purchasing from the farmers and return
as patrons Of the city markets, where
they ean have the satisfaction Of seeing
what they buy.
Some city dealers are skeptical as to
the results Of purchasing by the parcel
post They say that in many instances
the customers are dissatisfied with what
secure in that way. All farmers, how
ever, are not alike. Some of them
many of them in fact-may be expected
to send first-class produce to their city
customers, while others will not.
We recall an instance in which Will
mington man who was enthusiastic
over Delaware apples, when there was
considerable agitation about apples
some months ago. He sent to Kent
county for abarrel of high grade apples,
and was willing to pay the price, but
he was much disgusted when they ar
rived to find out that the fruit had been
''toppe1" He did not buy any more
apples from that farmer, but if his first
purchase had been satisfactory, the
farmer would have had a steady custo-
mer.
In dealing through the parcel post the
farmers, therefore, should be careful
not to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg. AS we have said, the success or
the failure of direct purchasing will, in
the last analysis, depend upon the far
mers themselves. Another point to be
remembered is that the prices should be
reasonable. If farmers attempt to get
directly city prices the city customer
would have no reason for purchasing
through the parcel post.
