Best Markets
Local or nearby markets for home
canned products are usually the best.
The attractlveness Of the pack and
containers affects Its selling qualities.
Merchants or other buyers do not
want a miscellaneous assortment OF
products, and 1t Is better practice to
put different products In boxes by
themselves and not to mix containers
Of peaches and peppers, for example.
In the same lot when offering them
for sale. Containers should be graded
as to size and quarts and pints kept
separate. Labels are necessary on tin
containers and help sell canned goods.

This Is a considerable aid In selling,
since the buyer then knows exactly
what he is buying.
Pooling Products.
In case the products are pooled for
marketing. the different kinds Of fruit
or vegetables can be placed together
In graded-sized containers, when, per-
haps, the pack Of any one individual
might not be large enough to make
up n quantity sufficient to attract
buyers. II is as necessary to estab-
fish reputation for reliability as to
have products put up attractively. The
marketing Of home or club.canned
products can be made successful II
the Gamers will study the marketing
problem and cater to the needs OF buy
ers. When orders are secured In ad-
vance for products, home Gamers
should endeavor to I'LL the orders on
time and give the buyer the kind OF
products agreed upon.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
RAILROADS

Director General McAdoo has an
nounced that while the railroads are
under the control of the government
1t is futile to impose fines upon
them for violations of the law and
OF the orders of the interstate COM
merce commission, and II therefore
becomes the duty Of the director
general in the enforcement of the
law and said orders to impose pun
ishment for willful and inexcusable
violations thereof upon the person
or persons responsible therefor
It is also announced that when
the prompt public transportation
service requires it, employees will be
required to work reasonable amount
OF overtime, but excessive hours OF
employment will not be required.
Pending a disposition OF the ques-
tion OF wages and hours, all requests
Of employees involving revisions of
schedules or general changes affect
ing wages and hours will be held in
abeyance. The question of wages
when determined will be made re-
troactive to January /, 1918.
The director general states that II
he is notified of the location of spe-
cifc supplies for transport to Eu-
rope and the port or ports in the
United States to which such supplies
should be sent he will guarantee the
necessary transportation subject
alone to Interruptions from blizzardi
and floods.
All officers and employees Of the
railroads. says the director general

public interest only. He asks then
to get the spirit Of this new era

invincible determination to perform
the imperative duties OF the hour
cooperation, not antagonism; conf
