The Grading and Packing of 1t De.
scribed by U. S. Government.

The following summary taken from
a new farmers bulletin, No. 664, of the
United States department of agriculture
Strawberry Growing in the South, .
shows the Importance of careful grading
and packing if the grower expects to
obtain quality" prices:
Picking the Fruit.
The stage of maturity at which ber-
ries should be picked depends upon the
distance they are to be shipped When
grown for local market they should
be picked when thoroughly ripe but not
soft. II grown for distant market
the berries must be picked before they
are thoroughly ripe, but they should
be fully grown and about three-fourths
ripe. II picked before they are colored
the berries will shrink and wither, max
ing them unfit for sale. Strawberries
should be picked with short piece of
stem attached labout one-fourth to one
lalf inch. They should never be slipped
rom the stem, as that spoils their APP
oearsnce and Injuries their shipping and
Seeping qualities.

PineappIes,

Pineapples first reached England in
the latter part of the seventeenth cen
tury. The fruit was thus a novelty to
Sir Christopher Wren's generation. but
he soon recognized it's value as an ar
chitectural ornament, and copper pine
apples about five feet high figure prom
inently on the lowers of st. Paul's. So
highly did Wren esteem the fine pro-
portions and enriched surface of this
fruit that his original design for st.
Paul'S shows an enormous pineapple in
the place of the dome. Happily his
maturer thoughts saved us froEa that
appalling spectacle. Since Wren the
pineapple has been as much at home Ia

The Law Is the Law

TN England the Nation, a weekly newspaper,
i advises the Government not to put cotton
on the list of absolute contraband. Some
such similar action" it says united against
us in active warfare the whole civilized world
100 years ago, even in the end dragging us
into dreary fight with the United States"
It also points out that England protested
against cotton being declared contraband
during the Russo-J Japanese war; and con-
tinues: American cotton States wish to
know whether Britain's command of the seas
Is to justify her in making or unmal1ing in
ternational law as 1t suits her convenience OF
the moment"
England does not make International law.
She cannot vary the rules to suit her cou-
Venienee. She has no Jurisdiction over
American rights. Her arbitrary edlcts we
have not recognized. The only law we know
anything about is the law that existed be-
fore this war broke out. and that is the law
which this country will obey and which 1t
viii expect all other nations TO obey,
1t is beginning TO dawn on the British that
rigid adherence to the principles Of interna-
tional law Is of far more Importance 10 the
Empire than any temporary advantage that
can possibly be gained by opportunistic vlo-
lation OF accepted precedents

the Women of Maine.
the Editor Of the Epening Ledger!

To the Editor Of the EpeninO Ledger!
sir-At time when mighty influences and
powers of inestlmabIe strength are at work In
ar endeavor TO keep our nation from the guilt
OF unjustihable war or from the dire conse-
quences Of war for which we may not be fully
prepared, II is somewhat encouraging to read
in some OF our daily papers editorials OF the
some and evenly balanced character OF those
OF the EVENING LEDGER.
And vet not with the view OF praising you,
but rather with the idea OF pointing out some
Of the un-American and very questionable
methods Of those favorable to Germany I'm this
world conflict has this letter been written.
What. indeed, may not be the significance OF
the oratorio efforts of ex-Seoretary OF State,
who. with the advantage OF close acdualn-
tance with the former policy OF our State De-
partment and a seeming determination to make
himself heard, gives forth expressions OF ILL
concealed hostility TO President In rhetori-
oai phrases which engage the attention Of
large following? And, on the other hand,
we find this effort TO secure the sympathy and
votes OF German American citizens counter
balanced by the hoarse and dire mutterings
Of an ex-President, to whom the policy of the
Administration seems weak, and who would
have unhesitatlngly plunged his nation into war
with no possible reasoning as to Its causes or
its results. Indeed, beside tho strongly pro-
German tone OF German dailles, we find in our
own city our supposed legal counselor address,
ing an audience Of several thousand hyphenated
Americans in frenzed appeal for protest
against tine policy OF our natlonal government
But In the midst OF all this passionate pro-
test against the shipping of munitions to the
Allies and denunciaton OF our present Admin
Istratlon, combined with hypocrltcal protesta-
tions of loyalty to our Government in case Of
war, II Is gratifying, even encouraging, to OBJ
serve that the sober-mnded citizens
OF foreign birth or extraction are either main
taining a rigid silence or else by their acts
and expressions are openly expressing a pref
erence for the American flag first And not
Ii o
tho German Government to distract attention
from her barbarity by references to alleged
mlsdeeds of England. or to evade the issues of
humanity raised by America So, too, Is her
failure to enlist American sympathy a tribute
to the better judgment of our people. with
our President at the helm we can truly expect
an honorable peace II practicable, or we can
await with somewhat of the spirit of '7s Just
war II necessary

Prevention Better Than Contrivances for
Rescue

T1HE death trap has done Its work. Now
i the investigators will do theirs. 1t is so
easy to find out why thing happened; 30
hard, It seems, to discover In advance how
to avoid catastrophes
It is apparent already that extra sup
ply of lifeboats or able seamen would have
been effective. The object of the law should
be to prevent accidents. not to minimize their
effects after they have happened. Yet the
whole purpose of the LaFollette legislation
which is about to drive the American marine
from the oceans is to provide means of res
cue There Is nothing in It to assure such
rigid inspection that accidents are not likely
to happen.
The Eastland was vessel notoriously un-
wieldy and dangerous. Cleveland was glad
to get rid of her. Yet she piled her trade
unhindered in Chicago 1t may be comfort
Ing TO think of the final tragedy as an acci-
dent, yet the accident really is that the
catastrophe did not happen long ago. Fate,
not the Government, delayed 1t SO long.
Against the dangers Of lnsidious iceberg,
fog and storm, man is impotent, but there is
thing the Government can do and that
is prevent the of vessels that are not sea-
worthy. Strict requirements before vessels
are given certificates will save more lives
than all the LaFollette laws that ever were
conceived OF or put on the statute books.

90 Ahend. couneils win Fnll Into Line

"DHLADELPHIA is an old woman, al
ways looking for reasons why thing
cannot be done. She has the caution of age,
instead Of the optimistic vision Of youth.
The way TO get the Republican National
Convention is to go ahead on the assumption
that Councils will authorize the convention
hall 10 assume that Councils won't Ia the
sort Of drunken fatalism that ends in dry
rot and extinction" The man responsible
for this thought is the kind of fellow who
would drive a railroad through the Andes
He would'take Message to Garcia" What
make much, difference.
As far as the convention hall is concerned,
Philadelphia has the money has the plans
and has the sites. The only thing II has not
got is the authorization Of construction on
some particular site by Councils. Yet what
Is Councils but one Of the instruments with
which the community accomplishes its pur-
poses? 1t may be'a blunt tool; but IT Is not
so blunt that the drive Of the community
behind It cannot make 1t work. 1t will re-
bpOnu TO pubic OplI1Oll' IL mas UNIV So bO-
fore. There is no power that can prevent it
from registering the will of the community
II that will is properly expressed.
Councils is Republican. 1t is absurd to
suppose that 1t will definitely warn the ma
tional party not to have its convention in
Philadelphia. That is what a refusal to
authorize the convention hall would mean
Let the Chamber of Commerce put the full
weight of it's authority behind a definite site
and there need be no fear of what Councils
will do Better a convention hall on any
site than no convention hall at all. Better a
straight fight to compel Councils to show its
hand than no fight, at all.
1t is an absurdity to suppose that Councils
can checkmate the progressive program of
the business men of the city. 1t Is ridiculous
to assume that Phlladelphia's future is in
the hands of politicians and not in the hands
of industrial leaders.
The fight to get the convention has been
launched Let's see the Philadelphians who
will dare to submarine it!

HIGH PRAISE FOR MIR. LovEKIN


Sir-I notice with much pleasure that in the
list OF II Philadelphians deemed eligible to aid
Mr.. Edison on the Invention Board. which you
published in your edition OF July IS, you have
given the name OF Mr.. Luther D. Lovelln a
place. The list is fine one, and its only mis-
take is in putting Mr.. Lovekin's name at the
bottom OF the list instead OF at the top, Speak,
ing as an engineer OF more than 40 years serv-
Ice and from close personal knowledge OF Mr..
Lovekns remarkable abilities, / have no hes
itation In saying that the transpostion sug-
gested would do no more than pay to those
abilities a proper and we'll deserved tribute.
Mr.. Lovekns position as chief engineer of the
New York Shipbuilding Company does not re-
fleet In any full measure the merits OF his
qualifications, even though the marked and un-
surpassed excellence OF the naval vessels built
by that company show in small degree his
designing ability. He isrR noted inventor along
many lines OF engineering and is probably today
the leading mind in practical steam engineering
problems. The records of the Patent ONCE will
bear witness to the variety and ingenuity OF
his successes In evolving means to accomplish
results, and when 1t comes to inventive genius
as requisite Philadelphians should be proud to
doff the cap to Mr.. Lovekin one who has no
peer in the community. I congratulate you on
the selections you have published
