lower price than they can obtain in
their local markets. 1t is needless to
say that such imperfect and erroneous
Ideas as to proper and equitable prices
altogether defeated the possibility Of
marketing produce by parcel post.
Business in marketing by parcel post
can be secured and held ohly By ship
ping produce of high quality anG by
charging reasonable prices.
The larger the quantity, within the
postal limits, that is shipped at any
one time, the more economical is the
factor of postage and therefore the
more attractive from the viewpoint of
cost both TO the producer and to the
consumer. This app les both to ship
ments and the return of empty con-
tainers. 1t would not be economical TO
secure half a dozen different kinds OF
vegetables from as many different pro-
ducers, but IL a supply of hrlf dozen
kinds Of vegetables, or vegetables and
fruits, could be obtn.ned in one parcel
from one producer it wouiG IL both
advantageous and attractive.
Another advantage to the producer
In parcel post marketing is that his
mail box or local post Office becomes
his shipping station. This relieves him
from any extra trip In order to maze
shipment, as the rural mail carrier
takes the shipment from the mail box
or some member of the farmers fam
lily deposits Il at the post office when
going to call ior the mall.
Many farmers often have a small
surplus of produce, not needed for
home consumption, which could be
marketed If some ready means of get
ting 1t TO a consumer were available.
The parcel post supplies this medium.
There are also many supplemental or
side lines of production which could
be developed for the same purpose. 4
Mutual confidence and helpfulness
are needed In order to succeed; coop
erutiOn is needed. Consumers are in

81 dare say he won't be able to talk
to me today?" O'Reilly ventured.
"Not today, nor for many days, I'm
afraid"
IF you don't mind, then, I'll hang
around and listen to what he says" he
told her, wistfully. "He might drop a
word about Rosa"
"To be sure. So far he's scarcely
mentioned her. / can't understand
much that he says, of course, but Mrs.
Ruiz tells me it's all jumbled and quite
unintelligible."
It was o balmy. languid morning
about two weeks after 0'Reilly's re-
turn to the City Among the Leaves. In
a hammock swung between two trees
Esteban varona lay. listening to the
admonitions OF his nurse.
Johnnie O'Reilly had just babe them
both hearty good morning and now
Norine was saying: "One hour, no
more. You had a temperature again
last night, and 1t came from talking too
much. Remember, 1t takes me Just one
hour to make my rounds. and If you
are not through with your tales Of
blood and battle when / get back yor'lI
have to finish them tomorrow" With
a nod and a smile she left.
AS Esteban looked after her his
white teeth cleaned and his hollow
face lit up.
"She brings me new life," he told
o'Reilly. "She is so strong, so healthy.
so full of life herself. She is wonder
full When I first saw her bending over
me / thought 1 was dreaming. Some
times, even yet, think she cannot be
real. But she is, eh?"
''She is quite substantial" O'Reilly
smiled. "All the sick fellows talk as
you do"
'Esteban looked up quickly; his face
darkened. "Sha-er-nurses others,
eh7 I'm not the only one?"
@Well, hardly"
There was q brief pause; then Este
ban shifted his position and his tone
changed. "Tell me. have you heard
any newsT
''Not yet, but &c viii hear some be-
fore long I'm sure"
"Your faith does as much for me as
this lady's care. But wAen you go
away, when I'm alone. when begin to
think"
"Don't think too much; don't permit
yourself to doubt" O'Reilly said, quick
". "Take my word for 1t, Rosa is alive
and Wen find her somewhere, some
bow. General Gomez will soon have
word Of her. That's what I've been
waiting for-that and what you might
have to tell me-"

Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use Of milk. The first is that
milk as purchased on the marker
usually supplies food material togetb.

ing invitations to combat. This ferocity,
however, served only to terrify further
the civil population and to close the
shutters of San Antonio the tighter.
Meanwhile, the loyal troops remained
safely in their blOckhouses, pouring
steady fire into the town. And despite
this admirable display Of courage the
visitors showed d deep respect for their
enemies craftsmanship, taking advan-
tage of whatever shelter there vas.
The raiders had approached San An

road for a short distance wac exposed

Never presume upon your intimacy

two may be, both have certain matters
which they prefer to keep to them
