in the produce business where there are so many dishonest men always trying to catch the unwary shipper.
 Express rates can be obtained from any of the local express agents upon applicat ton. Beans weigh 30 pounds to the bushel hamper and ten pounds to the one-third bushel box. As re- gards the use of the one-half bushel hamper I should not advise the use of this package excepting when beans are high and are bringing good prices. third bushel box suits the needs for a small package and when it comes to the difference between the half and bushel hampers it is almost as easy for the produce man to sell a bushel of beans as it is to sell half bushel provided there are no half bushel containers on the market When beans are high the demand is heavier for the smaller packages.
 It is my opinion, too, that the larger market centerS are to be avoided to large extent. AS long as produce is scarce the big markets pay high pr1c es, but they are the first to drop when beans are plentiful Small towns of- ten offer the best outlet fer such crops as beans as they can use small ex- press lots every day during the ship ping season.
 The first shipments of fall beans us- ually go south but just as soon as the home grown supply in the north Is gone or as soon as the plants in that country are killed by frost, shippers can use the northern markets to good advantage.

beans should be spread out on can vas or, still better, on tray made from a sand screen or some other fine netting. This will give them oppor- tunity to evaporate the greater amount of their surplus moisture and to wilt slightly. They may then be packed with comparatively little daa- ger of heating or moulding while in transit.
 As regards packages most in de- mand this will vary with the market. AS a general rule the southern mar
 kets will be found to prefer the one,
 third bushel bean box and the north hampers. The main objection which
 1 find to the bean box is that the first few layers must be laid flat in the bottom of the box to cover the open ing between the slats and to make neat appearance to the prospective purchaser. Thus it takes consider able time to pack the boxes whereas the hampers need only to be filled and require no packing With either pack age the beans should be put in a few at a time and shaken down sc as to
 make the container hold as many a.
 possible.
 Poorly packed containers and pack
 ages which are not filled to the brim
 do not sell we'll The buyer wants
 his full bushel and in order to make
 up for the settling it is necessary to
 pack the hampers and boxes as full
 as possible
 Supplies of boxes and hampers , should be on hand before the ship ping starts to avoid delays in delivery. Arrangements of some sort should al so be made as regards the disposal of the crop. The grower should cor
 respond with reliable produce men before the season starts and advise
 them as to what he is going to have to
 ship. Orders may be taken for as ! many beans as the grower is sure that fe can supply and any in excess of this amount may be consigned In no case, however, should grow CT ever take orders for more beana | than he is sure that he can supply. l Before shipping the grower shoule
 be sure that the parties to whom he is

EDISON WILL SUPPORT WILSON
Electrical Wizard for Wilson as G. ..
 P. Machine Oppose Colonel

Saratoga, Sept. 3.-Thomas A. Edi- son, the electrical wizard, Republican and supporter of Theodore Roosevelt for the presidential nomination, today announced that he would work and vote for Woodrow Wilson.
 He said:
 Mot since 1860 has any campaign made such a direct call on simon-pure Americanism. The times are too serious to talk or think in terms of Republicanism or Democracy Real Americans must drop parties and get down to big fundamental principles.
 More tha many other president in my memory Woodrow Wilson has been forced by a succession of rte mendous problems, anyone of which decided the wrong way, would have had disastrous consequences. Will into any serious trouble, nor are they likely to.
 He has given us peace with honor This talk about the United States be- ing despised is nonsense Neutrality is a mighty trying policy, but back of it are international law, the rights of humanity and the future of civiliza- ton.
 "Roosevelt was my choice. He has had experience and is one of the best of Americans, but the machine-con- trolled Republican party would no: have him. Therefore I am for Wood row Wilson"

PICKING AND PACKING BEANS
 FOR SHIPMENT.
By J. R, Cavanagh.
Written Specially for the News.

VrlCCen Spccldlly IOr JHe NcWbs
 With the good rain that has fallen prospects are good for the fall bean crop. Much depends, however, upon the handling of this crop and unless it is properly cared for returns are quite apt to be other than satisfactory.
 Beans to bring the best prices should be picked as soon as they are well de- veloped and while they are still ten der. The market does not care for a tough or stringy beam or bean that is old and discolored. What the mar ket does like is well matured bean with a neat, round pod in which the beans have just begun to form. In addition to this the pods should be bright and clean and should be crisp enough to break when bent slightly. All spotted and deformed as well as tough and stringy pods should be thrown cut.
 Anyone who is not lazy>may be used as a bean picker, but women ane children usually make the best pick CTS. They are more agile than arc men and usually pick faster. The man who has enough of family to care for his crop does not have to bother about hiring help, but where it is necessary to employ pickers they are usually paid according to the amount of beans that they pick. Forty to 75 cents per hundred pounds is the usual rate of pay for bean pickers where they are paid by weight or about ten cents half bushel where the pickers pick into half bushel bas- kets. good picker can make from a dollar to two dollars a day.
 Beans packed directly into the pack ages as picked in the field do not as a rule carry well. They contain con- siderable moisture and are quite apt to mould while in transit arriving CT the market in practically worthless condition. Sweating or wilting is nec- essary if the grower is to be sure that his beans are to carry to market in the best shape.
 Wilting is accomplished by expos ing the freshly picked pods for several hours overnight in some cool or shady place. A few hours on hot day will be sufficient or still better plan is to leave them overnight. The

 NOW TESTIFIEs
Minister of the Gospel Thinks It Mg Duty tU Make Statement About

It is seldom, indeed. that mex u1s prominence, especially ministers as the gospel, willingly express their ig. debtedness publicly to proprietary medicine However, when nHal- cine obtains that singular purity aHaa efficiency that is shown by the nz- form preparation Tanlac, statemczsz from our best citizens are to be eraa sidered thoroughly commensurfss with the good that is actually beng accomplished.
 Rev. A. H Sykes. Pastor of the VIZ ilins Park Presbyterian church, Nasa vile, Tenn, prominent net only as ra minister of the gospel, but populzS as man and citizen who has bseE true to his friends and every trust r7- posed in him, said recently:
 For the past ten months, Nsz Sykes has been suffering in verg delicate health, suffering from asx stomach and kidney troubles, wE@a gradually developed into general nervous breakdown At times hsf condition became alarming. and l ks- quently sought medical advice, Bu1s nothing we could do for her seemed ls bring relief.
 'In fact, she suffered so long and ss, much that feel it my duty to let evsFyy one know what this medicine has dFas fer her. For several months xHs condition was such that she had sA remain in bed, and as last resats I decided to let her try Tanlac.
 T am conservative man and haF1 always been skeptical regarding tas use of proprietary medicines, but tax case has certainly proven an excsp tion. I am now firmly convinced iszlJ Tanlac is a medicine of great poyw and extraordinary merit I do zs4s think I have ever seen anything rH give such prompt results. Mrs SFk es had taken only two-thirds of has~ tic of this medicine when we began to notice a marked improvement fE her condition.

CAPACITY CROWD
 SEES HARVARD AND PRINCETON CONTEST

Cambridge, Nov. IA Tiger team of notable size and speed tried today to succeeded where other Princeton teams had failed, matching football skill with the Harvard eleven in the stadium. No Princeton combination has gained victory within the crim- sons athletic theatre.
 Based on the seasons showing, Princeton met Harvard with a better record of performance. Harvard sup porters, however, considered their elevens remarkable development since its defeat by Tufts as outweighing the fact that Princeton had won every game of the year.
 The gathering of enthusiasts which a meeting between the elevens of Princeton and Harvard always at- tracts was increased today by those who saw in prospect a close and bril- liant struggle. Before the game all indications were that the crowd would fill the regular stadium seats and overflow to the temporary wooden stands. Princeton followers based their hopes on the fact that the team was a veteran combination.
