MARKETING BERRIES DIRECT.

! In the current issue Of the, Missouri
Valley Farmer, published at Topeka,
Kansas, there appeared an interest
ing article on marketing strawberries
direct from the southern fields, by
II. r.. Schwietert, Travelling Industrial
and immigration agent Of the Ill
.nois Central railroad. The = article
deals particularly with the work OF
an association OF, growers of Louisi-
ana whose members ship. their ber-
ries to the northern markets them
selves instead of through commission
companies. In THIS way the south
ern growers receive better prices
for their product. Mr.. Schwietert
entered the service of the Illinois
Central while Capt. J. F. Merry was
at the head of the immigration de-
partment, with offices in this city.
It was during this time that Mr..
scbwietert became thoroughly IA
miliar with the conditions Of the
south and the possibilities Of that
country as a fruit growing section.
Judging from the article in the
Missouri Valley Farmer Mr.. Schwiet-
ert's interest in seeing the south
developed is as marked as ever.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN.

At the recent meeting Of two Of
the clubs OF this city, the women
took the initial steps for thorough
cleanup Of the city this spring.
During the last few days a number
II the women have made tours OF
inspection Of the city's streets and
alleys, in order to familiarize them
selves with the true situation OF af-
fairs. These ladies were Mortified
at the conditions in some OF the al
leys and the sights which greeted
their eyes from some Of the vacant
lots. The ladies' Of the clubs ap-
pointed a number Of committees to
formulate a definite plan of action,
and when these are all completed
the work will be carried on in con-
junction with the efforts the city
council will put forth in the cleanup
campaign. ne .49l5, /,
One of the club ladies has set
forth the following suggestions:
III any one doubts the advisability
Of some one taking the initiative
step in regard to. a cleaner Manches,
ter, let them take tour of insp ec-
ton; let them take a glance up the
alleys; behind the stores; the ap-
reaches to the town, especially
west Of the old bridge and west
Main street. e. t.-.#5, Ss.
ITO be sure this is time when
every city is not at its best. but the
present condition OF Manchester Is
unprecedented it would seem to the
observers. '%.$
Captain Merry gave the ladies
some good suggestions, worthy OF
being followed out He spoke Of
the unsightly conditions Of many
places along the approaches to the
town, and how they might be I'M
proved. On North Franklin. street
tho unfinished mausoleum at the
cemetery; the decayed and dilapi-
dated condition Of the fair ground
fence and buildings with their. display
of antiquated advertisements; the
tumbled down coondition of the ball
park fence on West Main street;
the tract of land just northwest OF
the old bridge; the vacant lots and
other unsightly places that are COW
cred with abandoned machinery and
rubbish of all kinds, which,, with a
very little effort might be made a
thing of beauty and a joy at least
to. those who are obliged to pass
them on coming town, to say moth
ing Of the impressions left on the
minds Of the people in regard to
the enterprise Tor lack OF it, on the
part Of citizens to allow such con-
ditions to exist. x. '..&s sS,.Es .E$js 1
There Is a very true saying
what is everybody's business is
nobody's business Now the wom-
en- Of Manchester propose to make
it their business to at least jog the
minds of our good people to real
izing sense of the existing condi.-
tions, and to ask the hearty coop.
Grafton of every man, woman and and
child to boost for, and to cleanup
for a better Manchester. " 4 S.. 5Ss II s55;

I Es.ENTERTAINMENT 8 s. COURSE e
PROVES A SUCCESS. t'

IN The high 4 school entertainment
course given during the past winter
has been a success in every way.
The several numbers have been of
a high order, and the attendance un-
usually good. The last number Of
the course was given by William A.
Mccormick and his trained dog,
Bronte. This number of the course
proved Of unusual interest to the
children. His limitations Of the yari-
GUS birds and barnyard fowls were
exceptionally good, and the part the
trained dog played in the program
held the closest attention OF the
children The high school students
who were back of the entertainment
course are to be commended for
making it possible for Manchester to
have an entertainment Of scull q
high order s

WATCH OUT FOR BAD EGGS

Food inspector, ]. S.. Bittner, was
in the city Monday morning, and in
an interview stated that farmers
should take particular careFegarding
eggs which they bring to market.
Mr.. Bittner informs us that he will
use the strong arm of the law to
correct any violation of this particu-
la feature Of the pure food statute.
In the main, Mr.. +,Bittner says, t.. e
people are showing regard for the
law, and that violations are becom-
ing less numerous each year. He
suggests that farmers should take
eyery precaution when marketing
eggs, and thus avoid prosecution and
unsavory notoriety. y
