HORRIBLE THING
ABOUT TO HAPPEN

The Marion County Board of
Trade, largely composed Of men who
either directly interested in farming,
trucking and fruit growing, or
closely connected with those indus
tries, will very likely lead a move
ment to put on refrigerator cars,
which will carry crops to the north
ern markets without the assistance
or interference of the Southern Ex-
press Company.
With the government carrying
bigger and bigger packages every
few months by parcel post, and ship
pers combining to ship their produce
in carload lots, it may come to pass
that the country may find out it can
do without any express companies.
And that would be horrible-for the
express companies.

season he left the city and was alb

had increased 100000 during that
time. Nothing could illustrate what
the shipment of vegetables means to
this county better than this state

fscatory express rate be more forci-
bly, brought home to US.
