quantities of tubers arriving at mar

wasted by careless handing. grading

out that such scenes as these show

too common.
Another set of four pictures shows
how many different kinds of ham

kets are now in use for handling
fruits and vegetables; also how this
number could be cut down by stan

all the needs of shipper and dealer.
The present large number of sizes of
such containers results in confusion
at markets and does not make for
economical marketing of fruits and
vegetables.

THE BLACK STONE.

7 TITLE Tinker Bob felt in his
pocket for another stone. He
wanted to know the story it might
have to tell. He was sorry he threw
the first one away for he did not
want to see anyone killed. This stone
was black and shink. 1t looked as
though it might have a good story to
tell. He held it tight in his hand
and tapped it gently against the big
Gray Stone.
This time he found himself in a
strange, strange land. When he
opened his eyes wide, after blinking
a few times, he saw he was sitting
on large rock, and in front of this
rock was narrow path leading from
a large forest down to the edge of a
brook. Tinker was glad this stone
had taken him again near the forest,
for this was the kind of life he like6
best.
Looking about, he noticed a funny
bundle of fur just away from the
path few feet, not far from the
rock. He watched it closely for a
moment. There was no signs of life
Perhaps some little child of the for
est, on the way to the brook for a
drink, had met an enemy and the
enemy had killed it.
Tinker climbed down from the rock
and went to see this bundle Of fur.
He touched it with his toe, but it did

Mr.. Lodge proceeded to set forth
series of other inconsistent utterances OF
the President. On August 10, 1914, he
declared that the United States must
