Motion Picture Trick

From the Popular Science Monthly
what chances actors talSer' you may
exclaim when you see motion picture
showing a man and a lion, with none
too pleasant expression, in hollow log
together, each apparently unaware of
the presence of the other,
1t seems a pity to spoil the effect of
such a good thriller by telling the truth
about the filming. The lion alone was
taken during one exposure of the film.
When he had bowed himself out of the
log and back into his cage. the man was
allowed to take the center of the screen,
or rather Of the log, and was photo
graphed in proper relation to the lion
on the second exposure of the same
film. But on the screen, of course, they
both appear in the log at the same time.

EDUCATING THE CONSUMER

The direct route is the proposed and
reasonable ISOLATION. 1t appears, how
ever, that Mr.. Consumer must be en-
lightened. The plan is popular with
him. He sees in its successful opera
ton a substantial reduction in his egg
and poultry bill The best education
wherewith to give him a new view
point would be for him to become a
poultryman. The erstwhile chicken rails
er makes a rational consumer. The
| truth he learns is that as he pays less
| the producer must get more. Each
makes and gets concessions. And the
advantage is always on the consumer S
| side, for in this business of a direct
route, the raiser must assume the mid
dleman's duties.
| Prices should be quoted f. o. b. or
| plus freight per pound. The weight
| should be given according to express or
| freight agents tally. One of the pres
| ent injustices toward the raiser is that
he has to accept the commission man s
weights. ! have known a discrepancy
of 80 pounds in a small shipment of
dressed turkeys which had been con-
scientiously dried and cooled and were
on the road less than nine hours. A
small grievance in itself, but typical
AS a matter of financial salvation. the
producer Is looking hopefully towards
dealing with the consumer without in
termediates. He must be met with out
stretched hands IL this business of
mutual aid is to be contaminated.
In the past, more thoughtful and
progressive raisers have sought individ
ual customers for their products with
nearly always satisfactory results. Some
have filled holiday orders for dressed
turkeys for managers of large business
concerns. Others have dealt directly
with hotels or clubs. One man, as an
instance, found it profitable to ship
crates of eggs weekly to private fam
lilies, who probably shared with others.
Eggs and squads. all-year-round prod
ucts, may be shipped regularly Tur-
keys, of course, belong to the class of
sporadic demand.

growers should be exhibited in COM

output, which in turn exacts co-opera-
ton among community growers. Such
poultry as geese and ducks are de-
manded at certain seasons. Hebrews
are partial to these and buy heavily.
Co-ordinating shipments is second
feature of community co operation. Re-
ferring to holiday shipments, raisers en-
masse have hitherto bent every energy
towards making ready for Thanksgiv-
ing, Christmas or New Years. In con-
sequence, under the avalanche, proper
prices can scarcely be sustained.
The idea of direct selling is growing.
Community markets are crystalliza-
ton of the idea in some cities, and find
favor. New York has a state depart
ment of foods and markets with sole
aim of connecting raiser and user, not
of poultry alone, but all products.
Whether it works satisfactorily or not,
it is said to have several thousand ship

lief, not only to consumers, but to pro-
ducers who are beginning to look favor
ably on any reasonable plan that prom
ises to tighten their burdens.
Poultry on the farm has been sadly
neglected. The farmers have not made
the most of their opportunities. They
have kept a few scrubs which prove
poor layers and worse table fowls. To
make his flock paying proposition,
the farmer has but to grade it up,
which will be discussed in next week s
