In the marketing Of farm products
in quantities less than carload rot,
especially when there is no growers
organization or. association to assem-
Bile the small lots, the necessity of
middleman or dealer is apparent.
Selling by mail order to the indiv-
idua consumer and by the caroad are
different propositions There are ali
kinds Of dealers. but the wholesale
trade has many thoroughly reliable
houses, having large investments and
with high credit ratings, which they
will not imperil by crooked methods.
The reliable houses do not get bust
mes by leading the producer TO De-
lieve that they are getting q higher
price than the market justife5. They
pay what they agree and do not
eyade their contracts by questionable
excuses.
Complaints have come to the State
Marketing Bureau from shippers that
they either did not get their pay. or
else the goods had been in part or
totally rejected. The fault il larga
part was that the shipper did not
consign to the. right parties. They
shipped without making full inyesti
cation, often on hearsay or else on
account of circulars Offering unusual
or unwarranted prices. Instances are
of record where dealers with little
or no credit have been able to get
large cOnsignments, and then eyade
payment in part or III all by alleging
bad order or by giving various other
excuses. Shippers fall into traps OF
this sort by circulars where prices
are offered far above the maraet.
This could not be possible if produ-
GERS had taken the precaution to in
vestigate.
The State Marketing Bureau has
the standing OF all produce dealers
in the United States. It can give
names of firms that promptly &C
knowledge the receipt OF goods, with
accurate report OF condition on ar,
rival, and reliable information as to
the trend of the market. and make
prompt payments upon sale Of pro
duce.
Permanent trade connections are
essential to successful marketing.
Frequent changes of dealers should
be avoided. Connections should be
made in number of places. to en-
able shippers from overstocking or
Cutting the markets. Shippers who
will put their produce into attractive
packages and well graded. need have
no fear of getting buyers at the best
prices. Successful marketing is only
question of honesty and efficiency
at both ends Of the line

TIE WORLDS AMPHlTHEATER

Crank Harris, Sr.. IN Tampa no
unea,
Can your readers be made to be-
lieva that we have here in the United
States an emphi-theater with nearly
seating capacity enough to accommo-
date the eeming millions Of he earth,
and for beauty and adornment It
eclipses Solomon's temple and the
palace Of the Caesars?
Rev. Ray Clarkson Harker, D. D.,
has recently printed a little booklet
under the title of THE Ministry of
Naure," which is charmfngly written
and elevating in tone and sentiment.
I believe that the following extract
from this little volume will be inter
esting to most of your readers:
River canyons furnish visions Of
sublimity. The Grand Canyon of the
Colorado river in Arizona is over
whelmingly sublime One may as well
attempt to paint the heavens as to de-
scribe the Grand Canyon. With a
party Of friends l went down this
canyon one day We followed the
zigzag path descending FIVE thousand
feet and stood on the brink fifteen
hundred feet above the roaring flood
The Grand Canyon is a labrinth Of
canyons. Standing there we swept
the circle of vision and counted nine
great facades that rose 2 mile high.
They made a mammoth amphithea
ter After a computation we found
that you could comfortably seat over
two thousand million people here.
On one of these great walls you
could seat the millions Of England.
on another the millions Of France,
on another the millions of Germany,
on another the millions of Norway.
Sweden and Denmark, on another
the millions Of Turkey, Switzerland,
Greece. Holland and Belgium. and on
the remaining the millions of Uncle
Sans children. So if these nations
wanted to hold an international
peace congress and have all present,
We could furnish the amphitheater.
Those walls rise before you high
er than twenty Bunker Hill monu-
ments, higher that twenty Ferris
wheels, higher than Ave Eiffel tow
ers, higher that fifty tall church
spires, and yonder, fifteen hundred
feet below where you stand. is the
rushing, roaring river hurrying on
fifteen miles per hour toward the
sea.
I'm these limestone, sandstone,
and volcanic rocks and marble there
is. by means of the play of light and
shadow a Kaleidoscope variety of
beauty. The domes. castles. pima
cles, spires. towers. turrets, minar-
cts. barbados and battlements are
painted in such variety of hue by the
sunbeam pencils that this stupendous
panorama impresses you as the
scenic wonder of the world. Here
is a facade shining forth under the
glow Of the direct rays of the sun.
The rocks are of yellow and roseate
hue of opal richness. and saffron

President Expected to Out
line American Plans for
Conference and Executive
Views on Legislation. :

Washington, Nov. 30-Seidom
has any .utterance of President
Wilson been awaited with greater
interest than the ,.nrual address lie
is to deliver Monday at the opening
of the winter session of congress
and on the eve of his departure for
Europe to attend the peace confer
ence. Members of the senate and
house expect to hear something of
American plans for the conference
as we'll as an outline of the execu-
tives views of legislation needed to
aid in the task for readjusting the
war-organized country to a peace
basis. y
Arrangements were made today
for joint session in the hall of the
house Monday afternoon at | o'clock
after congressional leaders had been
notified that the president desired to
be heard the first day of the new
session instead of the second day, as
usual, in order to hasten his depar-
ture. Hhe address will constitute
his goodbye to congress and through
it, to the people, for he is expected
to sail on Tuesday.
Delegates Rank Undetermined.
No official comment was forth
coming during the day on the per-
sonnet of the peace delegation an
nouhced last night at the White
House. No one would undertake
to say whether the president him
self would be regarded as part Of
the delegation accompanying him
or what might be the formal rank
accorded the four delegates-Sec-
retary Lansing, former ambassador
Henry White, Col. E. M. House and
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. Informally
it was indicated at the State depart
ment that these points could not be
cleared up becauseof uncertainty as
to the course to be followed by the
heads of the associated governments
and their accompanying delegations.
Exact information was said still to
be lacking.

lie the names of the chief officers

to League Of Nations
Scheme, Declares Taft

Oxford, o., Nov. 30.-Former
President William H. Taft, speaking
before an audience tonight at Miami
university on "The League of Ma
tions," said President Wilson had
once announced himself as favorable
to the establishment of the league
but had since grown lukewarn
However, it was hoped, he said, that
when the president got on the other
side he would change his attitude.
Commenting on objection offered
by some people that league Of ma
tions would be unconstitutional, Mr..
Taft SAID such were not only illogi-
cal but ridiculous. They reminded
him, he said, of many Lawyers, who,
having lost cases on perfectly good
statutes, would then, as a last re-
sort, attack the constitutionality of
the statute, and lose again.

Upon Hubby's Neck
- Crying Like Child

London, Nov. 30-The meeting
of former Emperor William and the
former empress at Amerongen is
described, by a Dutch correspondent
of the Daily Express. t
THE gates were thrown open,
the drawbridge was lowered with a
noise of chains and iron BATS that
sounded very medieval, and in the
courtyard before the castle an eld-
erly man in a gray military cloak
was seen at az distance, walking
slowly and leaning on his STICK" the
correspondent writes. 1T was the
ex-kaiser. The ex-kaiserin's car
was driven into the courtyard, the
ex-kaiser threw down his stick and
before the valet was able opened
the door and handed out his wife.
They shook hands and then threw
themselves into-each others arms,
the ex-kaiserin falling upon. her
husbands shoulder and crying like
hid. The closing of the gates
shut out further view"
