What Is a Package?

WTHATis packages Most persons think that
Whitley know the definite answer to this
luery but the department. Of agriculture has found
the question full of unsupported depths, since it
has had to interpret and apply provisions of the
pure food act. The net weight amendment to
the act requires that the contents. Of food Gin
package form" shall be indicated plainly on the
outside by weight, measure or Count, and the gov
eminent officials have been kept especially busy
determining when goods fall under this provision
One poser" for instance, was whether a single
ham or single side of bacon, covered with paper
or cloth, constitutes a package, Another problem
has been whether the great sacks of wainuts and
other nuts that are imported in great quantities
are ''packages"; and still another question has
related to the status of the small boxes OF berries
that appear in the markets by the hundreds of
thousands in spring and with their high-set bot

to tell how far they will 60" ~ 49,
The government has already decided that COW
cred hams and sides of bacon are not packages,
but because of numerous requests the matter has
been reopened, and will be reargued within the
next few weeks. Sacked ,walnuts have Just been
placed formally in the category of packages by a
decision. The berry problem, however has been
solved only partially. ~
If the boxes are in crates, topped and so fastened
into units, they are packages, the governments
food umpires have decided; but if the boxes are
merely resting in an untopped crate or are con-
sidered alone they are not yet determined to be
packages. During the approaching season, at
least then, the housewife is unlikely to have the
boon of knowing just what quantity of berries
she is receiving in exchange for her money, When
he berry box becomes package" it will be
duly labeled, and she will know j. y....

Mexico As Trade Field

WIHIEE the reports from Mexico are not such
w as to encourage the belief that Villas elm
inaton will bring sinmediate peace there is every
prospect Of greatly increased trade. 1t is reason
able TO believe that witht opening of the lines
Of transportation throughout the republic millions
Of collars will be spent for supplies.
There is no reason to doubt that practically all
orders will be placed with the mills of the United
Statesrn The countries IF Europe are not n posi-
ton to take care Of large orders and the demand
will be for prompt Shipment OF goods; Buildings
and machinery have been destroyed during the
years of internal strife. Flows, reapers, mowers,
wagons, pumps, thrashing machines, and all of
the implements necessary to agricultural hfe will
undoubtedly have to be replaced.
The mills Of the country In many places have
been idle 50 long that thousands of dollars will
have to be spent to get them into running order,
though they may not have been destroyed by the
different armies. The cities of the border states
have long enjoyed this trade All supply houses
have had men able to attend to Mexican trade as
demanded by the language and requirements Of the
customs regulations. These supply houses will be
the first to feel the effects of peace but the large
manufacturing centers of the country will be called
upon for all kinds Of MATERIAL II is said that with
the first report of Villa elimination engineers
were sent to the border ready to begin operations
as soon as conditions become settled.
Ambition is not particularly Characteristic Of
the ordinary Mexican, but no more thorough men
can be found anywhere than the business men pf
Mexico. Trade is not entirely in the hands of
foreigners as some would conclude from the many
references to the perils Of foreigners in the country
during the war. The impression that foreigners
are furnishing all Of the enterprise comes from the

Notable Freight Shipment

y N kDESkAFCttN from Chicag 60 indicates that,
y for the FIRST time in their history, the trans
continental railways have realized great ambi-
ton The first trainload OF an enormous quantity
Of Hawaiian sugar is passing from. coast to coast
says the Indianapolis News. Sugar Has previously
gone by rail from San francisco 10 New York, but
never under such conditions The railroads have
contracted to move $4,000 tons valued at $25-
100000. AT the best, twill require three months
to transport the sugar from the Pacific to the
Atlantic. Six thousand cars will be necessary.
Made up into sections of Fifty each, this means
that l20 solid trains of Hawaiian sugar stock must
be routed over the transoontinental lines. For
this service the railways will receive about
100000 <g.5s @
The contract illustrates a remarkable chapter
in transportation history. The favored route for
Hawaiian sugar, pneapplds etc. has. been by
steamer to the isthmus of Panama Trans-shp-
ment for the journey across the isthmus required
time and money, but it was cheaper than move
ment by rail across the continent! When the old
Panama railroad was superseded by the Panama
canal, the Hawaiian shippers were possibly the
first to profit They already possessed marine
equipment. Instead of breaking carriage at the
isthmus they were enabled to pass on through and
thence direct to the great eastern terminals. The
opening Of the waterway meant the, saving OF
millions Of dollars to these insular interests The
canal having superseded the railway, the latter
was discarded. The shippers had either to win
or lose by the new rctIte, When the slides oc-
CURED last fall there was some effort at trans
shipment but the closing of the canal left both
plantation and transportation interests in Sc
rious situation. It$is understood that the l1a-
waiian sugar companies undertook to reroute their
ships via the Straits of Magellan, but that the
long and dangerous voyage was found I'M
prohtabe.7F7,' 80 -.'rS5s. .as'..
What is the planters and the shippers loss
in the closing of the canal is the railways gain
The blocking of the canal has forced business into
the hands Of the trainfnen. II can not be con-
tended that, in this instance, sugar can be more
:heaply transported by rail than by water. Sugar,
in the crude state can be carried as a bulk COM
modify. Bulk commodities are supposed to be
suitable for ship transport The railroads have
endeayored to study along scientific lines the move
ment OF freight which would naturally 60 by water
In7handling coal they have attained high degree
of efficiency. Coal it is said, can be handled more
sheaply than any other loose commodity under
ordinary conditions, Crude sugar requires more
care, of course; but il is a bulk type Of freight
This stroke of i'll fortune in the canal may enable
the railroads to bid more successfully for rich
traffic Anyway, 1t will enable them to do some
figuring. And 100000 in extra freight receipts
