This seems to be the slogan of every true American. AS the grass comes forth to beautify the earth, the leaves to adorn the trees, why not we come forth with paint, brush and rake and beautfiy our homes. Not from a selfish motive, but for the better ment of our health and those all around us. so that we may all en- joy the beauties of our little city.

offered will be in line with what the quality and pack justify. On the contrary if a grower or shipp- CT should so far forget himself as to ship a ear load of inferior ber- ries, topped with good ones what can he expect in the way of rebeat orders?
 As before stated, the straw berry has been an easy product to market in the past and there should be no great trouble this season for those growers and shippers who know by natural instinct and who have learned by daily practice that it pays to put up an honest pack.

the probabilities point to a record breaking yield, in which event the marketing difficulties will be increased. It, therefore, behoov- es the growers and their shipping agencies to begin now to take an inventory of the forthcoming probable conditions and to pre- pare accordingly.
 The strawberry grower is go- ing to face the competition of an unusual supply of apples this year, and oranges and other fruits are being sold at very reas- enable figures, too. In pointing out these various obstacles there is no desire to appear pessimistic, for, on the contrary, If the dea. is properly handled, The Packer predicts great success for the strawberry growers on their 1916 crop. However, it will not pay, if the crop is large, to try to put low grade junk on the market and as usual it will be highly unprof- table to attempt deceit in pack ing. Those who have been giving an honest pack are naturally hon. est and they need no warning. They have learned that when they place a good car of fruit,
 properly graded and packed, or any given market that such ship ment will inyaribly lead to farther inquiries and sales and that prices

SAFE OR SORRY

The Railroads and factories in their efforts to guard against ac- cidents have made use of an eX- pression that should be used this spring by every southern farmer and planter. No man can guess at the probable price of cotton next November, whether 1t will be worth fifteen cents, or five cents. If the war does not close by that time and if the South has only the cotton acreage it had in 1915 we will have more than we can use and we may expect six or seven cent cotton. If the war does close before that. time all Europe will be so poor that they can use but little cotton, and renee we may expect low price Why not be safe? The world will need our meat and corn and each farmer who grows enough feed and food stuff for his family and enough to spare for cash for cloth ing and miscellaneous expenses will be safe. The man who banks all on cotton and who will not grow his feed and food stuff may be sorry. Which will you do, play safe or risk being sorry next November and holding your hat in your hand and begging some one to advance money on your cotton? No man should grow a bale of cotton that he can't hold as his own all next winter if necessary.

HONEST SPRAWL
 BERRY PACKS Practice Of Deceiving Custo- mers Relegted to
 The Rear.

The development of the straw berry interests of the country has undergone a marked improve ment during the past few years, chiefly in the matter of a better grade and pack. There was a time, only a few years ago, when customer bought pint or quart measure of strawberries on any of the big markets of the country, he very naturally expected toI find the best berries on top, with a lot of bum stuff in the middle and the bottom. This practice of trying to deceive the consum- CT has been relegated to the rear, along with the .'snide" berry box and other antiquatcd ideas in marketing. Of course there are a few growers and shippers who still insist on packing poor stuff at the bottom of the box, and a. gain there are a few growers who, through ignorance of how to back, are hable to put up package that fails to measure up to the standard, but the eXcep- tion is the rule now a days. The change in conditions certainly op- crates to the advantage of the grower and shipper.
 If the enormous crop of straw berries that is now promised is finally gathered the one thing that will make the deal profitable for the grower and shipper will be the enforcement of rigid grad ing and packing regulations. De- ceitful packing, ]. e., hiding the bum berries in the bottom, never pays and this year of all years those growers and shippers who so indulge themselves may ex- pect to pay the penalty.
 In the past the strawberry has been the easiest thing in the per fishable line to market, due to the fact that most of the time there has been an excessive demand. About all the growers had to do in most producing sections was to advertise the local acreage, the time of shipping, varieties, prob- able yield, give the right pack, ect., and the buyers would be on the job and do the rest. Straw berries have proved a highly prof itable crop most any where, not Withstanding the claims being maoe in certain localities by ter ritorial shipping managers that they put the industry on it's feet.
 Tennessee has proved one of the most successful fields in the past few years as witnessed by the fact that the acreage Tn the state shows a greater increase than in any other section. The marketing has been along intel ligent lines and in the main the packing and grading have been good, much to the profit of the growers. Another section that has largely increased acreage is the Ozark country in Arkansas and Missouri and the deal in that whole section has for years been uniformly a success. It has been a very easy matter for the grow CTS as individuals, or through their shipping agents or local ol affiliated associations, to find g market and the highly profitable results have naturally led to the marked increased in acreage that comes into bearing this year. 1 While the larger acreage is nol an absolute assurance that the crop will be corespondingly large, and while many things may oc- cur between now and harvest time to cut down the yield, yet

"Will you tell me" said prominent
young man, clerk in one of our bust

We replied that n goes into the

We'll, our library fund ought to get
quite sum out OF this term OF court, I"
the young man continued.
We told him that Crystal Falls will
get its share of about 100000 and
that there is more in sight
"Then will you say for me that the
young men OF this town have a kick
coming on our school authorities.
Will you ask them why II is that this
money is put into books to be locked
up from the public all of the time
when we might get some use and en-
joyment out OF them.
You ana the rest OF the snouteTs IN

When Judge Flanagan opened court
at 900 O'Clock Thursday the court
room was filled with spectators who
came there knowing that the sentences
would be passed at that session.
Pakkala was the first man brought
before the Judge with Viano osterberg
acting as interpreter. He reported his
present age as 37-years and said that
he has no relatives living. He was
born in Finland
Judge Flanagan reviewed the cir
cumstances under which Pakkala
pleaded and said that II is not usual TO
accept pleas of guilty in such cases un-
less the court is sure that the prisoner
knows what he is doing; that in this
case the court knew that Pakkala was
aware OF what his plea meant
and that he was really guilty OF the act
TO which he pleaded guilty
The court gave the man credit for
pleading guilty instead OF causing
lot OF expense and for that reason did
not impose the life sentence which the
crimo warranted Judge Flanagan al
SO stated that in his investigation Of
the man he had found John 20 be sort
of a dual character; a pretty good fell
low when sober but when he has one
drop of liquor a very bad man. He al
so called attention to the fact that the
mans face was not unfamiliar to him;
that Pakkala had been before him IN
Marquette county.

ed the Judge I'VE can occasionally
overlook the murder OF man but
crime against woman cannot be over-
looked; our women must be safe

less than 25 nor more than so years

mendation OF 30 years.

SURPRISED THE SHERIFF

fheriff Sensiba was placed under arr

Criticised Jury Finding

VIM lianold was then called before
the court and asked II lie had anything
20 say why sentence should not be pass
ed lie had nothing 10 say and the
court called attention TO the fact that
Hanold had been tried on a charge OF
assault with intent TO do great bodily
harm; that the defense OF momentary
insanity was urged that II he was in
sane II was the duty OF the jury TO ac-
quit him but II he was sane at the time
OF the act verdict OF guilty was to be
expected. Continuing the court said.
"The jury found you sane but at the
same time found that you did not in
tend to do great bodily harm, although
by your own admission you fired TWO
shots az the man. both of which took
effect upon him TO the extent that his
body was covered with shot, and that
you fired third shot but fortunately
missed him when you were 40 close TO
him that had you hit him you undoubt-
edly would have killed him.
THE court takes cognizance OF the
fact that you were laboring under
great excitement, whether the state
ments told you were true or false and
would have taken that fact into con-
sideration had you been found guilty OF
greater offense."
