The Colorado Highway Commission

county budgets to meet total net reve-
nues Of $835,889 expected in 1918. Tho
budgets call for an expenditure of $2.-

have agreed to raise an additional

During the past week, announces the
Georgia Fruit Exchange of this city,
25 carloads of Mayfowers went to
New York and other cities clamoring
to get the first fruits of the season,
and advices state that one of the best
markets on record awaits the entire
crop. There will be a total of 100
cars of the earliest variety, moving
this and next week In a short while
the second variety, Uneedas, will be-
gin to move, and then in continuous
stream will be supplied every city
east of the Rocky Mountains. I'm
der the expert supervision of the Geor-
gia Rruit Exchange the crop of 5000
cars which is now in prospect will
move over a widely distributed area,
so that at no point will there be
unusual congestion of dropping of pri-
ces. B. J. Christman, manager of the
exchange, is very optimistic over the
outlook for the Georgia growers.

BOYS GET GOOD CARE IN
HOSPITAL WAR FRONT

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
LORRAINE, March 29-There is a
hospital within sound of the guns on
the Touul front where wounded Am
erican boys can sleep under white
counterpanes within an hour after be-
ing taken from the trenches.
1t is a field hospital operated by
the army medical corps.
The wards are low frame buildings,
ling lines of windows let in sunlight
and air. The cots are set in long
straight rows. The floors, though of
wood, are scrupulously clean. Army
doctors and orderlies watch over the
patients day and night. There is an
operating room where emergency
cases are taken. 1t is fully equipped
and a wounded man gets as good at
tention there as he would in case OF
an accident at home.
This hospital is closer to the front
than that to which Capt.Archie Roose-
welt was taken 1t is not as sub
stantial, and not nearly so large. But
it is efficient with a capital e
1t was here that the victims of the
first German gas attack were taken in
February. Here, toog five surgeons
calmly continued operating when a
Boche airplane swept over the hos
pital and dropped bombs.
Little glory comes to the colonel in
command and the captains work with
him at his hospital. They cared for
Americas very first wounded in the
war. To them came the first wound
ed Boche prisoner. But they send
their patients to the rear as soon as
the latter are able to be moved, and
the war traffic sweeping from the
rear to the front passes by, scarcely
knowing they are there.
You can get one of the best meals
in the entire army zone at this field
hospital. Drop in any time, and you
will find the patients getting good beef
and potatoes, good American bread and
butter, jam, asparagus, peas or some
other vegetables, peaches or fruit
salad, and coffee.

Adopting England's Plan.

Something new for America in the application Of power has been
launched in Philadelphia. Instead Of transporting coal to the city
for the creation Of electric power, as heretofore, the plan now is to
generate the power near the mines and transport the electric current.
This experiment is a result Of traffic congestion, but it has every
appearance Of being applicable to normal conditions. The economic
possibilities stand out so clear that it is a wonder the idea was left
to England and war to discover.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says of the experiment:
1t W "a announced by the local fe administrator that the project
probably will be financed by the federal government inc definite
plans are o be drawna at a meeting in this city o. experts rom New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. s8#

mined upon. 1t is planned to link TIT system u p o New York and
other vital centers Nt only will this benefit the great industrial
plants but smaller manufacturers also nay obtain heir power ron the p
sam source. &E
Under the proposed new system the mines near Boone, Ia, could
provide sufficient electric power for all Of the Principal cities in the
northern part of the state at a cost far below that involved in trans
porting coal to the various localities. On a smaller scale, the city Of
Des Moines could locate its electric power plant close to the mines in
that section and save huge sums. The vast economies possible are
only touched upon in the cut on transportation. Experts say the
fuel cost will really be a source of p~rofit-that what is now mime
waste, understandable slack, etc, at the mines mouth, which must
be hauled out of the way, can be utilized as the fuel for the produc-
ton of all the current needed. sT

JOKE KILLED Man;
WIDOW GETS $4,000
Live Wires Placed In Contact
With Saw Electrocuted
Workman.

Madison, Wis.-Nettie Kohn was
granted $4,000 for the death Of her
husband, according to one Of the de-
cisions by the supreme court. The
award was made against the Newport
Hydro-C Carbon company. Mr.. Pearson
was Kohn's helper. At the time Of the
accident Kohn was saving a piece Of
conduit with a hack saw. The conduit
was fastened in a wise attached to a
bench. and over the bench at which
both Kohn and Pearson were working
was q cord Of two electric wires used
for testing appliances. When these
wires were not in use they were hung
on an angle iron above the bench.
There was no switch to turn off the
current.
On the day of the accident Kohn left
the work temporarily and walked to the
end OF the shop to get a drink. While
he was gone, Pearson took down the
testing wires and placed them in con-
tact with the hack saw and said to two
OF the other employees, Watch the-Jew

bench. took hold of the pipe and saw,
and was electrocuted. 1t was undis-
puted that Kohn knew nothing Of any
joke being played on him, and he took

Advantages of Package Goods.

Modern package machinery used by all
large factories weighs and seals package
foods at the minimum cost of time, labor
and material. One machin with two
operators, for instance. packs, weighs and
seals over 10000 packages Of flour in q
24-hour day.
The average small carton in which food
is packed costs less when purchased and
shipped in carloads than paper bags and
Irvine purchased by the average store
keeper.
Bulk Foods.
A heavy wastage by splitting In Weighing
and wrapping bulk goods.
Much loss in handling and transporta-
ton of bulk goods by moisture, absorp-
ton and through contamination from
other goods with which they come in
contact.
Through lack of knowledge as to exact
proportion Of bulk goods required IT
preparation for the table, excessive
amounts are often used. The excess Is
often wasted, whether thrown away at
once or warmed and served again in UNI
attractive and unpalatable ways.
Inferior articles may be easily substt-
tuted for staple goods II sold In bulk in
stead Of packages under makers name
and brand.
Quality unknown to consumer, as bulk
foods are not identified.
FOoSS J." bulk are often unattracttvo
In appearance and have lost their zest
and flavor.
Each purchase must be separately
weighed. wrapped and tied.
Hand wrapping and weighing results In
enormous waste Of time and labor. At
least 40 people would be required to
pack 10000 packages Of flour by hand I'm
"a hours and the work woul be done far
less satisfactorily n the weights less
accurate.
Paper bags Of suitable weight and twine
Of sufficient strength bought by the aver
age grocer costs more than suitable car
tons bought many millions at a time By
food manufacturers.
There are approximately $4,000 grocers
In the United States. 1t is estimated that
from 60% to 1870 of the food products
handled are now packed in small pack
ages. Conservatively stated. at least one
additional man would be required on tho
average in Zach store If bulk foods only
were handled. An arm more than half
as large as that raised by our first
selective draft would be required to weigh
and wrap these bulk goods for consumers.
The work is now done by the aid of the
packaging machinery by a few thousand
women.
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1918-06-27

Extracts from an address by Fl. l..
Smith, at the annual convention OF
retail grocers held In Chicago, in
May:
There are four important economic
reasons for packing food products In
small containers for the household. These
four reasons briefly stated are:
1st-The conservation Of health through
thes sanitary superiority of package foods.
2nd-The conservation Of food by reason
OF increased keeping qualities Of pack
age foods.
3rd-The conservation of time both in
store and home through greater convent
ence Of package goods.
4th-The conservation Of wealth through
the economy Of package foods.
That package foods are superior to
bulk foods from the standpoint Of SANTA
tion cannot be disputed.
Because he does not need to weigh and
pack them. the grocer Is enabled to
handle a stock Of package goods and
wait on his customers with n minimum
outlay Of time and labor, therefore In
creasing the man power or the country
ar important economic achievement The
grocer handling package goods Is able to
carry smaller stocks which are more
easily accessible and require less time to
reach and Observation-Disclosures increasing
the man power
The use of package goods does much to
prevent food boarding by the householder
an object much to be desired In these
times.
Package Goods.
No loss by waste through splitting In
handling package goods.
Package food containers are designed to
protect the contents from spoilage by
moisture and contamination from prox-
unity to other goods during t~ransporta-
ton or handling.
Economical because less wastcful from
kitchen to table. Accurate directions for
cooking and serving package goods are
usually given on the containers so there
will be no loss through cooking larger
amounts than are needed for immediate
consumption.
Substitution by dishonest dealers not
possible when individual containers under
manufacturers brand go to consumers.
Quality assured to purchaser through
label Of maker on Individual package.
The original flavor and freshness OF
package goods is retained until served,
making them more palatable and health
full than bulk goods.
Can be delivered to consumer without
further wrapping.
