ADVANCED EXPRESS
RATES ARE EFFECTlVE
ON JANUARY 1, 1913

Jacksonville, Dec. 1S.-"On Jan.
i, the express rates will be advanced
tc point that may make small shin
ments to Florida and Southern states
winter crops to markets too costly
for profits says the State Marketing
Bureau. This is matter growers
and shippers must take into consid-
Grafton and may force consolidation
and cooperation in larger or car lots
by freight, unless relief is afforded bv
changes in rates.
The government has to raise some
S24,O0O,O0O additional revenue to meet
the new wage schedule to take effect
ON Jan. |, and the rate increase in
eastern territory is greater than in
the west. Concerning the express sit
uation the last issue of the New York
Packer says:
1T is noted that the railroad ad-
ministration in effect admits that the
new rates are going to hurt express
shippers and tend to throw this busi-
ness back to freight service. It may
be that perishable food business was
not In mind when this statement was
made, but If 1t is going to apply to
certain express business 1t will apply
to the food products as we'll as other
commodities, -inasmuch as rates have
been raised on these commodities az
well as on others. II, when the above
quoted announcement was made, the
food business was in mind, a hint is
made that, perhaps, Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson's one-time idea of using
the parcel post service for the elm
iration of the middleman may be in
process Of resurrection by the govern
ment. Producers in all parts of the
country know Of the effort made two
or three years ago to market their
produce direct to the consumer
through the parcel post and OF IT'S
failure as far as a practical method
OF selling stun is concerned. Produ
GERS did not take kindly to selling lit
tie dabs here and there and wait for
their money, neither did the city con-
sumer adopt that method of buying
their supplies, 1t was too much trou-
ble to all factors.
But regardless Of the side issues
the big thing In this situation before
the producers and distributors OF
southern grown truck is the fact that
the industry is threatened. All inter. |
ests should individually and collect
lively bring the evil features before (
the railroad administration, the Inter- |
state Commerce Commission. and the /
public utilities commissions OF. the /
different states, and point out to these /
bodies Just how and where these new
regulations, now in effect and pro-
posed, are hurting the industry in
which they are largely interested

BAVARIA WON BY
FEAR OF AIR RAIDS

London, Dec. 17-Fear of air raids
by the allied forces is believed by the
Royal Air Force to have induced Ba-
varia to condemn the German rulers
who brought the Empire to disaster.
IT is pointed out that the Bayarians
realized that the aerial invasion might
begin any day or night. The collapse
OF Austria, it is stated, sent a cold
shiver Of apprehension through the
Bavarian cities whose inhabitants
dreaded the terror and tragedy of the
warfare they had waged and vaunted
The people Of Munich realized that
their great war factories were doomed
and that perhaps hundreds of work.

"Do you know that the menace to

"THE NAIL ORDER HOUSES
COULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT ADJ
vERTIsING.

mention their extensively prepared cat
alogues.
"What are you doing to offset this
menace to the very life Of the retail
trade of this states
Are you advertising in your local
newspaper, and if so are you giving it
your best attentions
