perts call the standardization of sup
ply"
1t is realized by the Postmaster
General as well as by the experts of
the Department of Agriculture that in
the absence of personal contract be-
tween the producer and the consumer.
which now exists between the house
wife and the market man, it will be
necessary for the housewife to know
in advance approximately the exact
cost of the goods she is to receive by
parcel post
In other words the farmer must
standardize his vegetables as far as
and maintain one quality for the but
ter from week TO week.
1t is realized that this STANDARDIZED
ton of products by the farmer himself
involves the taking over by the farmer
of certain of the present functions of
the commission merchant and middle
man. officials recognize that this will
result in a need for education on the
art of the farmer along the lines Of
Standardization. Preparations are
therefore being made to enable the
farmer to instruct himself in this di-
rection.
The dissemination of information as
to the location of individual markets
for individual farmers is to be under
taken by the Post Office Department
1t is possible that series of bulle-
tins, possibly in the form of a post
card bearing the names and addresses
of farmers in the vicinity of a certain
city and the classes of the commodi-
ties they wish to market, will be dis
tributed by the mail carrier among
the residents of the city at regular pc
RODS.
These bulletins will vary with the
seasons. and by examining her bulle-
tins in the morning the housewife may
have as wide range for selecting for
the next days dinner as if she visited
the local market with a market bas-
ket on her arm.
Furthermore she will be enabled to
compare the cost of fresh eggs via
parcel post from a farmer so or 100
miles away with what she would have
to pay at a nearby grocery store with
out the satisfaction of knowing that
the farm-yard.
The printing and distributing of what
the department experts refer to as 81
want to sell, Il want to buy" cards
is to be undertaken by the Post Office
Deartment, but the information to be
conveyed by them is to be gathered
by the office of markets of the De-
partment of Agriculture. The office of
markets is in charge of Charles j.
Brand, who is experimenting the in
vestigation looking toward the evOlu
ton of commodity containers espec-
tally adapted TO parcel post transpor
tation.
Mr.. Brands investigation in regard
to new type of egg containers have
been practically completed. He has
60 types of containers, any one of which
he believes would meet the needs OF
the situation. In the last six weeks
special agents of the office of markets

Ship
Once on time a baby ship
Came into port for me,
And it was just the dearest boat
That ever sailed the sea.
Its sails were white and caught the
light,
Like snow the wind before.
And never boat was set af1oat
That richer treasure bore.
The captain was a little lad,
Who crossed the oceans rim,
And knew enough to tack and huff"
And when to "douse his glim"!
Through all the day, around the bay
He steered his little barque,
But never failed to furl his sail,
And lie close in the dark.
And then as though a juggler strang
Had come to try his art,
My little ship began to grow
And stretch in every part
Each mast and spar reached up afar
It's sails grew broad and high,
Its lights were like two shining stars
Hung pendant in the sky.
From stem to stern it grew in length
From beam TO beam more wide,
Until we knew it had the strength
To stem the strongest tide.
-
The little captain grew and grew
AS only captains can
Until one morning we awoke,
And found he was a man!
But now the bay was small to him.
He felt his anchor strain,
AS ships went by with jocund cry,
And winds called from the main.
He wearied of the summer breeze,
With all his sailor soul
He longed to ride the foaming tide
And touch life at its whole.
He felt the oceans charm and lure
The call of waves affair."
And. 10! at last a mighty wind
Bore him across the bar.
Across the blue and shining waves
With bright flag floating free,
With steady hand upon the helm.
He sailed out DER the sea.
1t brought tremble to my lip,
And made my eyes grow dim,
When like a ghost his stately ship
Passed the horizons rim.
And now on many foreign sea
He ploughs the sparkling foam,
But the little bay where he used to
play,
Is gray with mist at home.
