Parcel Post Marketing.

y, How may the farmer and the consumer be-
come acquainted so that the farmer may market
his products and the latter obtain them? !
This has been vital question when the HIGH
COST OF LIVING is under discussion. Comes
along the department of agriculture with this
solution-use the parcel post system.
The farmer who wishes to sell his products by
parcel post, and the housewife who wishes to use
this method Of securing country produce for her
Bulletin 703, Suggestions for Parcel Post Mar
keting." This bulletin, in addition to explaining
the postal rates and measurement limits for par
Gel post matter, discusses in some detail the
types of containers which are most successful
and the methods Of grading and packing produce,
so that it will reach the consumer in good condi-
! ton. The bulletin tells how to select, handle
and pack poultry, and how to grade and pack the
various fruits and vegetables.
The bulletin points out that one of the COM
mon obstacles to establishing parcel post comun-
ication between farmer and consumer is that the
farmer, may be unwilling to offer goods at
price which attracts the customer, or that the
consumer may offer price lower than the farm
er can obtain at local market. To quote the
bulletin:
"Not only must the farmer have something
additional to the usual price to compensate him
for the extra work, container, and postage re-
| CURED, but the consumer must also have some
thing to attract him to marketing by parcel post.
In determining what the price shall be, both the
farm price and the retail price paid the consumer
when he markets in the ordinary way should be
taken into consideration.
1T is probable that the point which will
make the strongest appeal to the average con-
sumner is that he can secure by parcel post a
fresher, brighter, more attractive, and thus pos
sibly better, product, than he can obtain other
wise.
"The average producer, as rule, does not
realize the Importance of appearance as factor
in selling goods and frequently is careless and
Indifferent in preparing produce for market"

President Marshall and Secretary

about Vice President Marshall and Secretary
McAdoo:
Vice President Marshall stepped from the
Senate chamber one day after presiding over
particularly boresome session. fumbled IN his
vest pocket for cigar, yawned, and then squared
himself away to paraphrase IS follows:
"Sometimes think I'd rather be wrong than
vice-president."
To prepare ones self for this brief tale one
must keep it in mind that Secretary McAdoo is
q tall man built along the lines OF the average
greyhound.
A certain United States senator dropped into
McAdoo's outer office the other day and asked
George Cooksey, the private secretary, if Nc
Adoo were in.
mo-" replied Cooksey, The just this minute
went out to lunch. But he'll be back shortly"
II think I'll not wait" remarked the senator,
IF he's half as hungry as he looks his luncheon
will occupy two or three hours"

Types in the Crowd.

SPELLBINDERS-It will not be long before
the spellbinder, inconspicuous in the crowd since
the last election, will edge his way to the fore
ground and demand to be heard. The crowd
knows he need not be taken seriously but still it
likes to hear the spellbnder rant, spout splutter
and salve the public with his prediction pledges
and promises. The crowd has an easy going dis
position enabling it to listen to sage and to clown
with equal composure giving to the spellbinder
as much gentle consideration as it does to the
pulpit orator.
The appellation spellbinder s'of comparative
" recent origin but the type is as old s'the race
In the stone age old Flintface liked to stand on
boulder and urge his candidacy for alderman
from Granite ward; and coming down through
the centuries we find in the old records that the
Roman spellbinders had not studied rhetoric and
logic from their Greek masters without well
defined purpose. In our days, no campaign could
be waged without corps Of spellbinders.
You cannot say that the spellbinder trifles
and dallies with the truth, or that he has an un-
principled affection for falsehood, but, neverthe
less, you would not accuse him Of speaking the
whole truth all times, and under all conditions.
If truth were a person and you would introduce
him to spellbinder both would shake hands,
but, like oil and water, they would not mix
Spellbinders go about their work of convinc-
ing the crowd about the merits of party and the
qualifications of candidate in different ways.
Some shout, rip, roar, run their hands through
flowing locks soar to oratorical flights, sink to
vituperative vification; others are calm, quiet,
urbane, unctious, speak with oily tongues, guard
their words and clothe their speeches with sauve
terms. s !,
The crowd enjoys both types, and it does not
object to hearing their BUNK, for it takes the
mind off business cares and worries. The old
sages and the young thinkers in the crowd rather
admire the cool .effrontery of the spellbinders.
They feel flattered that the spellbinder under
estimates their discernment and thinking ability,
and deceives himself into believing that he is
fooling the crowd.
In few months the spellbnder will be with
us again. We Hospitality ask him to make him.
self at home, entertain us with his BUNK and
flatter us with his attention. A little later the
crowd will go to the voting booths and vox populi
forgetting Mr. Spellbinder, will register it's yer.
