Reported That Huerta Is With His
Army-Carranza's Party Force the

Vera Cruz.-The activity of the
Mexican forces beyond the American
lines continued Monday. Some reports
had it that a small federal scouting
party was at work, while others were
to the effect that a force numbering
thousands was beginning operations.
Women and children and some mel
appeared within the American lines at
one point, carrying their household
goods, and they asserted Mexican cav

Reports from other quarters indi.

where General Rubio Navarrete was
in immediate command. 1t is learn

however, is not generally credited

Don't let the impression become
fixed in your minds that these big
mail order houses are doing business
on a margin of profit that is SO small
that you cannot compete. The income
tax collector has discovered that in
the city of Chicago the man who is
paying on the largest return is Julius
Rosenwald, president of one Of these
concerns, and that he is taking out
of the business at a rate of $l,320,0O0
a year. 1t costs the mail order house
~appreciably more to do the same vol
ume of business than it does the coun.
try merchant. 1t does not and cannot
give its patrons equal service and
equal value for their money. The un
wieldly accumulation OF wealth de.
rived comes from superiority in meth.
DDS of business getting and in inan-
cial manipulation. The actual contri-
buttons of consumers to the movement
for the elimination of the "middlemen'
with whom they come in closest con-
tact, by sending the money into the
nav of the catalogue house octopus
constitutes a sad reflection on the
good Judgment which prompts it.

The pineapple blossom does not
amount to much in size, but it is of q
pretty purplish blue and it's appear
ance on the plant is interesting to
watch. The pineapple is a composite
fruit, each one of the little geomctrical
divisions surrounding an eye, repre-
senting a unit of it's structure. The
first sign of the formation of a fruit is
the appearance of a tiny crown"
which develops slowly into a miniature
of the matured pineapple; the blue
blossoms come out, a tiny flower at
each "eye," while the fruit is still
small, disappearing long before it has
attained it's full size. The flower has
but little odor, and even a field of
fully ripened fruit has less fragrance
than would be expected from a fruit
so pungently sweet.
A new pineapple patch is set out
with slips, which are either the crown
cut from the ripened pineapple or the
shoots which grow directly under the
fruit, and which we sometimes find on
a fresh pineapple purchased in the
market. When growers outside of Ha'
waii will still waste time raising the
poor, hard, woody, old-fashioned kinds.
Therefore, canning on the spot is an
economy to seed-plant buyers. The
new plant takes 10 months to ripen its
first fruit. It is not cut down, but left
standing, and in course of time bears
a second and usually a third crop, the
fruit coming from suckers which start
near the point where the first pine has
been cut. A plant is rarely allowed tc
bear more than the third time, as the
fruit then begins to deteriorate. The
pineapple crop takes from IS to 2:
months from the time 1t is planted un
til the fruit is ripe.

foodstuffs sold, leads the New England
Grocer to speculate upon the infu-
ence of the pure food laws upon the
cost of living, and to the conclusion
that the showing would indicate that
it was less than has been generally
believed, but adds that these figures
would probably be largely increased
could the expense entailed by the reg
ulations in the matter of manufacture,
packing and selling be taken into con
s%ideration. 1t should be added that
the expense of the national pure food
law applies for the country at large,
while in the various cities the carrying
out of municipal food laws is a very
considerable item, helping to bring the
figures well above the apparent per-
centage indicated by the Pennsylvania
returns.
