DERIVES PROFIT FROM AUTO
How Direct Marketing Has Fattensd the Bank Account of One New
 Jersey Farmer.

Farm and Preside tells how dileci marketing within a radius of five to ten miles is bringing profits to the pro ducers. The writer says:
 Let me cite a few examples of di. rect marketing by means of motor trucks and produce wagons that have come to my attention recently. One New Jersey farmer located about thirty miles from New York city formerly shipped all his apples, peaches, pears, plums, potatoes and garden truck to New York commission merchants. For several years he has substituted direct marketing of his products to towns within five miles of his farm. His produce is delivered by means of GOV cred market wagons, mostly in response to orders by telephone. He now sell dom loads any produce that is not al ready contracted for. An increasing quantity of the more perishable kinds of fruit and vegetables. like strawber ries. cane fruits and green peas, are now being called for at his farm by customers who have automobiles or motorcycles.
 These appreciate high quality and freshness of products, and are ire, guently willing to call for them in per, son. Since making this change tO di rect marketing, this farmer has learned that less quantity produced and raising his standard of quality tc a high plane net him more profit than did his former practice. He finds that by thinning vegetables and fruits. sC that large. attractive specimens can be used to fill his special orders, there is no objection to paying a generous price by his more discriminating con sumers. This plan of direct marketing also allows the developing of fruits and vegetables to just the right stage before they are gathered"

An investigation of large number of so-called battery complaints led to the discovery that more than 90 per cent of them were due to an improper adjustment of the spark coil. The first thing the average operator does when his engine is not running right Is to adjust the vibrator screw on top of the coil, and then when no spark Is produced at all he planes the battery. A half turn on this adjusting screw will often increase the current re- quired by the coil from one-third of an ampere 10 one and half amperes.

 London is fully cognizant of the fact that Lord Kitchner is in India,' D writes Guenther, 'snd the reason as signed for his punishment is that his vogue was beginning to frighten the royal advisers, who would not tole- rate Kitchner's army and Kitchner's troops,' in place of the Kings Own and the usual reference to the throne among the soldiery So this bun combe about Kitchner being drowned was circulated around the globe and England's hero was sent to India.

that threw back his coat. A holster l was revealed and his hand was placed or was about to be placed on the han dle when a shot was fired from the boat. As quick as a wink there was a fusilade on both sides. Bullets whizzed on all sides of me. I drop ped to the floor of the pilot house and crawled through door into my cab in I shatched the mattress from the bed and threw it against the wall on the shore side and none too quick, for a score of bullets came through the wall and plunked into the mattress was hiding behind There was a movement of the boat, and I realized that we were backing up.
 When I saw that the Verona had backed off shore some distance I came out of the cabin and returned to the wheel. There was great excitement aboard and hurrying and scurrying to attend to the wounded. I told the passengers there was nothing left to do but return to Seattle
 i Captain Wyman of the Verona and Captain H. B. Arnold of the Calista said that the men on both vessels were heavily armed when the steam CTS left Seattle. The officers said that it seemed as if every man aboard had a pistol, but all the weapons dis appeared after the shooting. When the steamers arrived at Seattle the police searched each man carefully and also made a thorough search of the steamers but no weapons were i found.
 When the Calista dockes the men aboard her were gathered in by the 1 policemen and marched to the city jail, but the quarters there were so crowded with the men taken from the Verona that the prisoners from the Calista were placed in the county jail for the night.
 That there was no further loss of life at Everett was due to the action of Ernest M. Shellgren, chief engineer of the Verona, according to the off cers of the boat.
 The Verona had been made fast to the wharf before the shooting began. When the first shot was fired, She'll gren jumped to his post in the engine room expecting to receive a signal from the bridge. When none came, he realized that the vessels lines had been made fast and that delay wait ing for them to be loosened would re- suit in more bloodshed, pulled the throttle wide open and sent the steam CT full steam ahead to slacken the lines. Then reversing engines full speed he broke the line with the steamers momentum and succeeded in backing the vessel safely away from the wharf.
