Order Food Containers.

In order to avoid serious delay and
probable food loss during the approach
ing harvest season, growers and shippers
are urged by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture to estimate accurate.
ly their needs and place their orders fol
barrels, crates, hampers, baskets, and
other containers for food products at
once. They should notify manufacturers
to begin making deliveries Immediately,
or at least as soon as their crops are
reasonably assured. Larger supplies OF
containers will be needed this season
than usual. Since crops Of the most
perishable products must be moved az
soon as ready to harvest, serious lnan.
cial loss to growers and shippers and
failure to save needed crops may result
unless orders for packages are placed
promptly and shipments begun within
the next few weeks.
The Department of Agriculture is In
receipt of advice from widely separated
parts of the United States that there may
be package shortage this season unless
growers and shippers are able to antic'
ipate their needs. 1t will be difficult
for manufacturers to meet the emer'
gency should abnormal demand tor ad.
ditional packages for perishable crops
arise In the midst of the harvest season
At that time, it is pointed ont, traffic on
railroads will be heaviest and shipmen
may be much delayed when most needed.
The responsibility of manufacturers to
put forth every reasonable effort to help
meet the situation should not be over
looked.
Few persons, specialists of the depart.
ment say, realize the enormous quantities
of barrels, baskets, crates, and similar
containers that are used each year
Containers for fruit and vegetables are
very bulky. 1t is quite apparent that II
would be nearly impossible for factories
to accumulate in advance and store Q
supply sufficient for the total needs OF
the fruit and vegetable crop of the
country. The only safe plan is for each
grower and shipper to order bis supplies
now. The department points out that
such prompt action will tend to speed up
the manufacture and delivery OF paokage!
and may save many Thousands OF dollars
worth of crops.

Waste of Dairy Products In the Home
(By Brooks Brown, Dairy Inspecsor)

(BY Br0Ok0 bIOWn, Oo1y AHoPOOsoSr
At this time of universal food conser-
vation believe 1t is fitting for mo to
mention few of the most common prod.
ucts of the dairy, showing the enormous
waste In these articles Of food, and CIV.
ing methods by which they might be
utilized.
For example, suppose: half cup Of
milk is wasted each day In every home
iu the United States, It would amount to
912, SOC, 900 quarts year. IL takes over
400, 600 COWS to produce this amount o,
milk and an army OF men to handle and
deliver It. Even II half cup OF milk ia
wasted in only one out OF every ffty
homes, the total still makes An appalling
figure.
This Is particularly deplorable when
one realizes that milk 10 one OF tho most
nutritious of foods, and skim-milk 10 a.
most NJ valuable % whole. The skim
milk may be used for soups and cereal
dishes. while sour milk can be used foI
cottage cheese or In the making OF bread.
In regard to butter, It has been estimat-

above mentioned amount ID wasted and
probably this estimate ID very low. W
should still have reason to view the

How TO STOP MURDER

everybody will listen to me they will
not commit murders, unless they are
insane. A man is a cur who will in
dUce a passionate, sexually-strong
woman to love him, kiss him-yes,
everything, and then cruelty spill her
blood in murder
A guy like that, rich or poor,
ought to be burned at the stake;
hanging is too good for him. Prob
ably half of the married folks got
married because they thought they
had to, in order to hide their sins,
and l wish the other half had sinned
before marriage; then nobody would
dare throw mud at our Ma agdalenes." ."
It should be a sort of religious
ritual, a betrOthal, trial marriage,
INDUCED in by all before the age of
21; then there would be no goats in
society. It would reduce murders 25
per cent, and all mental punish
ments, suicides, soTTows, etc., would
vanish like vapors, because we would
all be in the same boat.

the frailties of the other. It is really
a form of mental murder that leads
often to actual murder. Society it
self is responsible for all this class
of murder and this includes all peo-
pie afflicted with Puritan ''IntOler-
ance." The Committee of Fifteen
would not admit they are indirect
murderers, because they are not
philosophers.
Harry Thaw killed White in fit
of jealousy, which is an Uncalled-for
condition of mind. Verify, verify, 1

he shoots not, neither does he kill,
yet he grants divorces and plasters
them all with alimony and comes up

should have. He lives and let's live.
