PARCELS POST
and ADVERTISING

The new parcel post law offers a
fine opportunity for marketing many
farm products-and advertising will
bring the requests right to the farm.
All the farmer needs to do is to pack
the products and place them at the
mail box.
Fifty pounds can 10Y be sent in the
first and second zones, and twenty
pounds to all parts Of the United
States Eggs, butter, poultry, fruit and
vegetables can often be marketed
through the parcel post or sent to a
neighbor. Likewise articles from town
can be sent to the farms.
The cost per pound in what liz call
ed local territory is but 5 cents for
the first pound and " cent for each
additional pound. The local territory
includes the region served by either
rural or city carriers. This means
that a package Of fifty pounds can be
sent within this territory for 80 cents;
a package Of twenty five pounds for
II cents. This makes a cheap and
efficient method for handling many
products from the farm to the town or
vice versa In the first and second
zones. which a distance up to
about 100 miles, the charges are S
cents for the first pound and l cent for
each additional pound.
The next point is how to get the
farmer in touch with the person in
town that is in need Of what the farm
offers for sale. This can be done very
cheaply and efficiently through ad-
vertising.. An advertisement in the
local paper will bring the inquiries and
purchases a be arranged over the
telephone or by letter. A walnut grow.
err in California marketed his whole
chop Of walnuts by parcel post in ten
pound bags. He did this through pIac-
ing advertisements in his local papers.
So many inquiries came in that his
w crop was soon gone and he had
to buy from his neighbors to fill the
orders that kept coming. In this way
the nuts went right from the trees to
the The grower got a bet
ter price and the got his nuts
cheaper.
On many farms there are more e
tables and fruits grown than are need
ed; still the extra amount may not be
sufficient to pay for q trip to town.
By means OF the parcel post these ex-
ira vegetables and fruits can be made
up in small lots and sent to families
in town and both the producer and
consumer be benefited.
1t is important, too, when sending
stuff to families in town to send only
the pest 1t IS a good plan TO adopt
some trade mark; or better yet, name
the farm and put the farm name on
the product. The printed letterhead
.is also an important factor. On it can
be given the farm name and a list of
the products that are for sale. When
a customer in town or a fellow farm
en- gets a letter written on a printed
Iletterhead it at once stamps that
farmer as a business man. It puts him
- - - - Np ~ IVA - - 49,. m.ae -
for doing business. 1t will also reflect
on the farmer. He will take more
pride In his business and i'm putting a
good product on the market. The
printed envelope ifs a travelling adver-
tisement, telling its message all along
its route.
Parcel post car be made to do good
service, and through advertising the
market will come to the farmer.

SYNOPSIS OF
PEG o NY HEART

Two Of the most prominent charac-
tiers in Oliver M~orosco's production OF
J. Hartley Manners charming comedy
Of joyous youth. Peg O. My Heart"
are Voiceless; one never appears, but
is continually quoted to the great en-
joyment Of the audience, who laugh at
his wit, feel the subtlety Of his philos-
ophy and the singing satire Of his
epigrams.
The other character Is Michael, who
is much in evidence, unconsciously
poses as the means of individual com
parison, and who utters no sound, and
yet occupies the unique position Of be-
ing n of the greatest matinee idols
the American stage has known in ten
years.
The first Is Pegs father a meier do
well young Irishman, who has eIoped
with the daughter OF an a~ristocratic
English family and come 10 America,
where Margaret, his daughter, or, as
he always spoke of her, Peg o. NV
Heart, was born.
Michael is a nondescript, mongrel
cur, with just enough Irish terrier in
his makeup to be full of fight and af-
lection.
1t is largely around the sayings of
her father and the comparisons made
in Michael's favor that Peg is able to
ultimately worst the %snobbish, cold
blooded, selfish aunt and cousins of
hers, in whose English home she has
been thrust against her inclination and
will.
There is a very pretty love story
running through the comedy, which
sparkles with apt epigram, brilliant
Wit, cutting irony, biting invective and
tears and laughter.
oliver Morosco, who gave "Peg o.
My Heart to the world, is sending
charming Peggy O'NeiI here, supported
by an excellent company, to present
the most talked-of comedy the Amer
lean stage has known in the past de-
cade. In the cast are Martin Sabine,
Kara Kenwyn, Roland Hogue, Jane
Meredith, Joseph Yanner, Frazer
Coulter, Olin Field and A. r. Rendon.
The production is an exact copy Of that
used in the Cort theatre, New York.
Peg o. Ny Heart will make her
initial local appearance at the A. c..
Armory on Tuesday, Feb. 10, for an
engagement of one night.
