OF the farm, with envelopes to match.
II the farm is not named an appropri-
ate name should be selected A sim

letterhead can be printed without
much cost. It should give the name
and location Of the farm, the farmers

trations of buildings, fruits or animals
should be avoided.
Blank statement forms or invoices
to I'LL in and inclose with shipments
should be supplied. Persons receiving
produce by mail wish TO know the
price Of the shipment, and by the use
OF printed statement forms the ship
per can furnish this information with
out much trouble.
Labelling Parcels.
Each parcel must bear the name and
address Of the shipper, the name and
address Of the person for whom in
tended, and the nature of the con-
tents. such as Fragile" or perish
able As tags frequently are torn OF,
it is best TO have this information
written or stamped directly on the
outer wrapper or container. If the
only mark of identity Of producer and
consumer is on a tag and the tag Is
lost, the parcel can neither be deliv-
cred nor returned to the sender.
Producers who have business enough
to justify them may secure gumme6
labels worded somewhat as follows:

Fair View Farm,
John Brown. Proprietor,
Blank, Virginia.
PERISHABLE.

The wording may be changed 10 suit
the product shipped, changing Eggs"
to Poultry Butter" or sVegeta-
bles." and "Perishable" to fragile"
as the case may require.
These labels, If properly applied,
should not come of They viii serve
as an advertisement and may result in
inquiries from other customers.
Business Relations With Customers.
Once contact has been made and
shipping begun ii is important that
proper business relations be estab-
lished and maintained, for on these de-
pend success. The difficulty frequently
met in obtaining the first order makes
it important for the producer TO use
businesslike methods to retain the
trade that he secures.
Whether 8 person is successful In
parcelpost marketing depends largely
on his sdaptabilfty to this work. If
routine and detailed work is distaste-
full to him he may never learn how to
keep up business relationship. Thou
sands of persons who have been sue
cessful in obtaining customers have
been unsuccessful in keeping them.
The most important feature in a
business relationship is a square deal.
Good grading Of produce, strict bust
ness honesty, prompt attention to cor
reSpondence and orders, and satisfac-
tory adjustment OF complaints are
needed. The consumer as well as the
producer should do his part in these
matters.

DIRECT DEALING

Housewives appreciate receiv-
ing farm produce which they
know to be fresh. Many farm
ers within $50 miles of cities
have regular supplies of high
grade produce, the quality of
which they can guarantee. The
parcel post offers means of di-
rect dealing between producer
and consumer, with profit 70

King Albert May
Re First visitor.


Albert, the hero King OF Belgium,
who visited the United States long
before he came to the throne, will,
from present indications, be the first
monarch to come to Washington. In
deed. If 1 mistake not. although we've
entertained kings in embryo. he'll be
the first sovereign to visit this coun-
try while actually engaged in the
business OF being a king. I've read
two announcements purporting TO be
official, one to the effect that King
Albert would come to Washington in
the autumn to attend the first con-
Eress of the League OF Nations, the
other that King Albert and Queen
Elizabeth. the beloved Queen Of Bel
gium, would come next fall to return
the visit which the President and Mrs.
Wilson expect to make to Brussels IN
the next week or so. Quite possibly
both are correct
Preparations for their coming are
In be made through the Belgian lega-
ton here and meanwhile the anticipa-
ton is pleasant. It carries one back
TO the days when society was aflame
over the rumor that the late King
Leopold of Belgium, King Albert s
uncle, would come to this country and
TO Washington. The late Thomas F.
walsh, who was a friend and admirer
OF his majesty, was to have had the
pleasure Of entertaining him during
his stay. and a special suite. magni-
ficeutly and luxuriously appointed,
was included in the plans for the
splendid house Mrs. Walsh now occu-
pies. which was then in the build
ing.

man is coming as the guest OF the
Government. an elaborate program
OF entertainment is being arranged
in his honor and this should give US
a foretaste OF what We may expect
when the rulers or the sovereign
states OF Europe begin returning
President wilson's visits. It's not
beyond the bounds Of possibility that
the King and Queen of England. the
King and Queen OF Italy, the King
ana Queen Of Belgium, and the Presi-
dent of France and Nine. Poincare

before the next eighteen months
are up-and then watch out for his

Hope for Visit From
Prince ef WaleS.

None OF these stirring events will
take place before October, but, lest
summer lethargy settle down upon
the town. there's the very thrilling
prospect Of a visit from H. r. H. the
Prince of Wales in August. He is
coming TO Canada at that time. &C
cording TO announcements from Eng
land, TO take part in the ceremonies
incident TO the opening Of the new
Parliament buildings at Ottawa: and
what more natural than that his
highness should step across the Dor
der and come to Washington to pay
his respects to President Wilson? In
deed, there's almost an unwritten law
10 the effect that British royalties
who visit Canada should also visit
Washington.
