Farmers Bulletin 7O3, Suggestions
For Parcel Post Marketing" This
bulletin, in addition to explaining the
postal rates and measurement limits
for parcel post matter, discusses in
some detail the types of containers
which are most successful and the
methods of grading and packing pro-
duce, SO that it will reach the con-
sumer in good condition, and be at
tractive in quality and appearance. In
treating standards for parcel post
shipments, the bulletin tells how to
select. handle and pack poultry, and
how to grade and pack the various
fruits and vegetables which the ave-
rage farmer is likely to market
through the post Office.
The bulletin points out that one of
the common obstacles to establish
parcel post communication between
farmer and consumer is that the
farmer may be unwilling to offer
goods at a price which attracts the
customer, or that the consumer may
offer a price lower than the farmer
can obtain at a local market. To

cause of their superior organization
and buying facilities. Critics of the
chain store system point out, however
that being owned outside of the COM
munities where they are located, they
take away money which would other
wise remain at home. Chain stores
are also criticised for price-cutting,
especially on nationally advertised and
standard goods. This evil, however
is not inherent in the system and can
be remedied by proper legislation.
The important fact to be noted
however, is that chain stores repre-
sent the incursion of big business in
to the retail field. They are the
modern tendency toward organization
and cooperation applied to store
keeping. They are numerous, pros
porous and increasing. Therefore, it is
important that the consumer should
understand them both as a buyer and
as a citizen.
The most reliable estimates place
the number of chain store systems in
the United States at about 1000, ag-
gregating more than $4,000 separate
stores. They include grocery, five-
and-ten-cent, tobacco, drug, shoe, hat
confectionery, jewelry, meats, dairy
products, liquors, furniture, clothing
hardware, automobiles, corsets, flow.

These stores fall into three classes
Retailers. jobbers' and manufacture

Retailers chains have sometimes

tion. All of these combinations have
been formed because of the increased
buying power or efficient advertising
and better methods generally which
result from their organization.
Jobbers' chains have sometimes
been acquired accidentally when the

something additional to the usual
price to compensate him for the ex-
ira work, container, and postage re-
quired, but the consumer must also
have something to attract him to
marketing by parcel post. In deter
mining what the price shall be, both
the farm price and the retail price
paid by the consumer when he mar
kets in the ordinary way should be
taken into consideration. The con-
sumner must receive either better
article at the usual retail price or an
article of the grade usually purchas-
ed at some concession in price.
ut is probable that the point which
will make the strongest appeal to the
average consumer is that he can Sc
cure by parcel post a fresher. bright
er, more attractive, and thus possibly
a better product that he can obtain
otherwise.
1.-The average producer, as a rule.
does not realize the Importance of
appearance as a factor in selling
goods and frequently is careless and
Indifferent in preparing produce for
market. The consumer, on the other
hand, relies very largely upon ap-
pearance in selecting food supplies,
and unattractive articles are passed
by promptly.
"a personal acquaintance should be
established between producer and con-
sumer, when they come into bust
ness contact. This will help a great
deal in furthering parcel post mar
keting, and also will eliminate many
of the misunderstanding which may
occur from time to time. A definite
understanding should exist as to the
duties of each in regard to remit
tances, claims for damaged or spoiled
produce. and the preservation and re-
turn of containers"

RIVER OPENING
GAVE GERMANY
Big ADVANTAGE
Heavy Traffic Now Being
Moved Along Danube; Mil
lion Tons in Five Days

Belgrade, Serbia. Jan. 17.--(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.) y
What great military and economic ad-
vantages were gained by the Germans
and their allies with the opening OF
traffic on the Danube, has been shown
by the activity in shipping which de-
Neloped directly the Serbs had been
driven from the banks of the river.
f1ghting along the Danube was still
IN progress when the Austrians started
10 clear a channel through the mine
fields which the Russians. Serbs and
English had laid out. Meanwhile large
tows, carrying military supplies need
ed by Turkey and Bulgaria, were being
brought down the river from Austro-
hungarian and German ports and as
sembled at Senlin, ready for the min
ute when navigation became possible.
austrian river monitors, notably the
Sava and Temes, had in the mean
tlme patrolled the Danube as far as
Palanka and later to Ruschuck, both
bulgarian ports, and in so doing had
cleared the riveE of some Russian
armed merchant vessels stationed in
the Rumanian port of Turn-Severin.
That these vessels were not sunk or
captured by the Austrians is due to the
fact that on the day which the Asso-
Grated Press correspondent made the
TRIP up the river as a guest on the
Sava, they were being conveyed down
stream by Rumanian monitors the
Russians themselves flying the Ru-
manian flag.
Scene of Activity
The Bulgarian port of LON Palanka
was the scene of great activity For
over fifteen months no boats from up
stream had arrived there. Now the
1etties were crowded with barges from
nv IN 1,A
Nlous day King Ferdinand of Bulgaria
and Premier Radoslavoff had been at
Lom Palanka. to assist i'll the resump-
tlon of traffic between Bulgarian and
she Central Powers, an event which
Germany and Austria Hungary
thought important enough to have in
nueurated by Duke Albrecht of Meek
lenburS, hrother-in-la law of Emperor
WllHaln, who was a passenger on the
first convoy arriving.
FOR the first two weeks nothing but
military supplies were shipped down
stream, principally arms and ammu
Sltlon Tor Bulgaria and Turkey. Both
these countries stood in need of heavy
artillery and artillerq ammunition.
Some OF the later boats brought q
1arSc numb ber of heavy motor trucks,
combat and scout aeroplanes ambu-
lances and sanitary supplies. Since
then ordinary merchandise has been
admitted to shipment. The returning
barges and boats carry raw material
of all, sorts and foodstuffs. During
the last few days a regular passenger
and mail service to Lom Palanka has
been in operation. until to-day traffic
on the Danube may be considered nor
NAL with the difference that never be-
Jore had Il known such proportions.
The military supplies of which Bull
garia ana Turkey can make use are
many, and on the other hand, Austria
Hungary and Germany offer an eager
market for the agricultural and ami
nal industry products of the two first
mentioned countries.
Needed Ammunition
Some anxiety had been felt in Con-
stantinople and lately in Sofia that the

heavy demand which the war made on
their relatively scant stores of artillery
ammunition might soon create a prob
lem it would be difficult to solve in
ease a free route of communication
were not opened up. This, in fact,
was the principal reason why the
long delayed offensive against Serbia
was undertaken, when it was, though
the attitude of Bulgaria necessarily
played an important part in this But
German aud Austrian war stores were
not the sole factor. The Central Pow
ers could make good use of Turkish
and Bulgarian WOOL skins, hides, GER
eals and copper ores and Turkey and
Bulgaria needed the revenues which
would come from the sale of these ma
terials. 1t is to be doubted that his
tory ever before presented an instance
in which the opening of a line of COM
munication met so adequately the
needs of four allied peoples engaged in
war, or that from this condition so
urgent a necessity had sprung. For
the first time since the outbreak Of
the European war Germany and Aus
,tria-Hungary are relatively indepen-
dent economically, while Turkey and
Bulgaria now have within their reach
an ineXhaustible supply of war ma
terials. inexhaustible to-day because
the German and Austro- Hungarian
arms and ammunition manufacturers
now have access to the great mineral
stores of the Balkans and the Ottoman
Empire. The shortage of copper in
the Central States has been ended by
the taking of the copper mines near
Milanovac and elsewhere in Serbia.
Bulgaria, too, has larger number of
copper mines, the best of them near
Mesdro, on the Mesdra-Lom Palanka
branch railroad. and the Turks can
meet any possible shortage with ores
from Anatolia, notably from the Smyr-
ma region. Chemical raw material
also may be brought from Turkey in
Asia and a paucity of cotton for eX-
plosives is now altogether unlikely,
since this staple is produced in consid-
able quantities in the Cilician plain. 1t
is of interest to learn that even a
placer gold field has fallen into the
hands of the Central Powers, that near
Milanovac, Serbia. Washing is now in
progress.
Easy Traffic
In a single day the Associated Press
correspondent saw as many as nine
tows go down the river, each consist
ling of a tug and seven barges-the
latter each carrying the equipment of
one hundred freight cars, giving the
traffic a total of $500 carloads or 215
trains of average size. For the five
days spent on the river the total can
not be less than 10000 carloads, or,
with bulk and weight brought into re-
| lations. over a million tons. Many of
| the tows came directly from Germany,

the preparations for the resumption of
Danube traffic are noteworthy.
Already train connections for mill
tary purposes exist between Berlin and
Constantinople and, according to as
sertion made here. a through passen-
ger and express freight service will be
in operation within three weeks via
Belgrade and Nish. The Serbs were
