short box; shipments to these markets
must be handled to conform with the
laws. The boxes now in use are the
American or standard quart berry box,
which holds a full quart; the octagon
box, and the square scale board type
of quart and pint boxes The American
type is the one that is most generally
used; it is full size, strongly made, and
packs well in the crate. The octagon
box is Objectionable on account of its
shape and the raised bottom. A long,
narrow box is not satisfactory, because
it is inconvenient to pick up without
grasping the sides between the thumb
and fingers, and when handled in this
way the berries are likely to be mashed.
Moreover. the sides of boxes with raised
bottoms often split off below the bot
tom, causing the boxes to tip over. The
scale. board boxes are cheaper than splint
boxes, but as the latter are more sub
stantial they are preferred in nearly all
markets The type of crate depends on
the boxes that are used. Any crate
that is substantially built and well ven
tilated is satisfactory but cost is an
important consideration, as they are not
to the shipper The largest /!
crate that can be handled conveniently is |
the one to use.s as the large ones arc
cheaper in proportion TO the quantity |
of berries they carry. The "a or 81 |

threat, there is, on the other hand, a
strong British and French vote in the
United States, although perhaps that
vote has lost its former nationalism
more completely than the German and
is not so assertive; and the strong sym
pathies of that vote could be evidenced
in an election just as strongly as the
German. Furthermore, it is generally
conceded that large proportion of the
German American vote, il not the ma
iority, has hitherto lined itself up with
the Republican and Progressive parties;
and its dissatisfaction with Wilson, "A
Democrat, would not be materially felt
by him. Therefore, the threat of defeat
of the "strong German vote" providing
that threat is made by responsible per-
sons, should not carry any great weight
with Wilson if he should ever sink his
sense of duty and obligation before
desire for personal aggrandizement. 1t
is time to stop the silly chatter about
the "strong German vote" on the part
of the pro-German element of the citi.
zenship of the United States.

CURRENT COMMENT
Memorial Day Plans.

Our next holiday, Memorial day will
fall on Sunday this year, and in the
natural order the observance of the day
will go over until Monday In Spring
| field and in New Bedford they are talk
| ing about a celebration that will be
somewhat out of the ordinary, partly
because May 30 falls on Sunday and
partly because this spring rounds out a
| full half century since the closesof the
Civil war. The plan is simple enough
and is worth consideration in cities and
villages generally. They propose to have
u great mass meeting on Sunday after
noon, in the largest auditorium avail
able, with the veterans grouped on the
stage, and with addresses by the best
speakers to be had as leading part of
the program. On Monday there will
be the decoration of the graves in the
usual order.
This year. with the lessons and mem
cries inspired by the 50th anniversary,
the observance of Memorial day should
be of unusual significance. Sunday, May
30, will afford the opportunity to make
Memorial day particularly impressive to
the generation that naturally knows lit
tie of the great war. With passing
years Memorial day is given over more
and more to sports and outings. Its
spiritual significance is inevitably wan
ing. A Sunday observance, especially
now that the war in Europe fills the
mind of the world, will be very fitting.
1t may lead to an annual observance OF |
the day on the last Sunday in May, |
leaving May 30 even more completely |
than at present to spring holiday pur-
poses. Many have urged this arrange
ment and there is much to be said for
IT, Let those who have in charge the
plans of Memorial day--Grand Army
posts, city officials, patriotic societies
churches and other bodies-think over
the plan suggested in Springfield and
New Bedford, and there should be
prompt action.--Boston Herald.

The trouble with the use OF noxious
gas to drive the enemy out of the
tie trenches is that the gas is no re-
specter of persons and it keeps the at
tackers from making great progress,
while at the same time it is driving

other words, the gas forms a protecting

dissipated the attacked have chance to
reform their lines before the attackers
can come against them. Providing the
wind is right, however, the attackers
might gain some advantage, as appeared
to be the case in the recent battle near

According to the assertion OF Attor.
ney-General Barber, the state of Yer.
mont has not engaged detective from
outside Of the state since he assumed
office four months and more ago. 1t
may be surprising to some people 10
know that the state is still here and in
fair way OF getting along without
thousands of dollars worth of "detec-
tuv' stuff imposed upon it by sleuths
from beyond the border. Perhaps there
hasn't been so much crime of the mys-
terious sort TO ferret out during the four
snd more months mentioned in the at
torney generals statement; but it Is
safe TO say that the state could have
expended considerable sum of money
in the investigation of what crime there
has been and, at the same time, have
allowed the sleuthing qualities OF our
own officers TO become atrophied through
disuse. Unless there are extraordinary
cases, Vermont officers ought TO be able

quart crates are generally used, though
in some sections the 60-quart crate is
employed. Crates with hinged lids have
an advantage over others in that they
provide for the inspection of the fruit
to better advantage. The hinged-lid
crate invites inspection and this is
point in its favor.

Packing.

Uniformity in the pack is essential in
order to obtain high prices for straw
berries, and this can be secured only
when the berries have been carefully
graded and sorted. Some growers have
the berries graded in the field.
A common practice in some sections
is TO pick the ripe berries of all grades
into the same box and when the tray
is full TO take il to the packing shed,
where the berries are sorted and packed.
The graders dump the berries on a ia
BILE and pick out all green, overripe or
small berries. The others are placed in
the boxes, one of the graders arranging
the top layers in such a way that the
berries show to best advantage, When
berries are packed in this manner, care
should be taken not to put the small,
inferior berries in the center of the box
and the large fine berries on top. The
fruit should be uniform throughout the
box. with the top layer merely placed
to add 10 the attractiyeness OF the pack
and TO hold the fruit in place. Where
a fancy pack is put up the berries should
be divided into two grades.
After the berries are picked they
should be placed in the shade as soon as
possible, for heat Injuries the fruit in a
short time. The pickers should not be
allowed to leave the filled boxes along
the rows, where the berries viii be eX-
posed to the sur. The shorter the time 4
that elapses after the fruit is picked be. |
fore il is put into refrigerator ears or /
boxes the better il is for /

rapidly until they are chilled.
